Great spot to stop for the night en route to San Diego. The reason its a 4 is because the freeway noise and light is kinda annoying.

Scenery is best of the best. Was able to level out 36’ RV no problem.

Went for a couple hours and had lunch. Hiked along the river and tried fly fishing but no luck. Great campgrounds, restrooms sinks were not working however. Would recommend!

This is a great camping spot, even for multiple days. I have used it as a breakpoint for driving from San Diego to Moab, but decided to make it a focus. And I was rewarded, no cell service (a drawback for many) and nice campsites with stunning terrain and 20 min from a good size town is a bonus.
