Sweetwater Summit Regional Park

Nice park, good price for the area, but a difficult stay with pets because there is no place for them to potty near our site without getting into significant stickers. It was quite a chore to get the stickers out of their coats and paws. And at night the earwigs and beetles come out in force. I’ve never seen so many earwigs! In the photos the area between sites seems to be manicured but in reality they have allowed those spaces to grow naturally and there are wildflowers (tall and fibrous weeds) and bushes filling the entire space except the picnic area next to the concrete pad. The premium sites have fewer weeds between sites and it would be worth the extra $.

Access to the park is a little slow through small residential streets. Check in was fast and easy. We stayed in a premium site, # 64, a huge site and Pull Through in the upper campground. All sites in this area are large , The weather was wet in the previous week which caused some water laying for several days. We spent a week allowing lots of time to explore the entire area. Access to downtown at 9:30 am was 20 minutes. Returning at rush hour, is an hour. Lots of trails on site to explore. A short walk to the summit brings a clear view of the ocean and Coronado Beach. Nice! The older lower campground is not near as nice and looks like a few are living there. So your best bet is the upper sites. Didn't use the facilities, but they looked good. All in all, great value, location was great, and from what I could see in the general area, this place is your best bet.

Stayed here so I could attend a work conference downtown for 2 days and although it was a bit of a drive due to morning traffic, loved the views, birds singing in the morning and quiet nights (and days even on a weekend)! We even enjoyed the planes overhead (not too bothersome). We stayed in a pull through site in middle loop and there was plenty of room between spaces. Lots of hiking trails to enjoy, playground for kids, and sunset views. Shopping is near too including Hans bakery! Delicious!!

Clean, well run. We were in new section with nice big site.

Two stars dropped. One for overhead noise from airport flight path. And secondly, there was a notice posted about theft of items left outside while people were away. We were not told on the way in. We read the notice on our first trip out that was posted at the exit.

Solid AT&T connection the whole visit.

We enjoyed our stay and will go back when visiting out San Diego family in the future.

We loved our stay at this spacious, green, well located, county park outside San Diego. There are two loops here. The older south loop has more trees and therefore feels a bit more private, but the sites are smaller, W/E only, and are more irregular. The northern loop is newer and offers larger FHU sites, but the vegetation isn't quite as mature, so it feels a bit more open. Either way though, there is enough space between the sites you won't feel like you're on top of your neighbor. We were perfectly happy with the spacing here.

This park is located right outside San Diego, so it's considered a great spot for visiting the city. We did not go into town while we were there, but according to Google maps, it would take about 20-30 minutes to get downtown (depending on where you're headed), so not bad at all. In the meantime, there are tons of stores and all your necessities just a few miles from the park. It's really a pretty great location.

Overall, we really liked this park. There was lots of green, the sites were well spaced, it offered full hook ups, and was well located just outside of San Diego in a nice town that offered everything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sweetwater Summit Regional Park. Everything was clean and well maintained. Sites are large and spacious on the new side. There's a "Challenge" course that's great for getting some exercise.

There are several grocery stores nearby, and lots to do in the area.
Be on the look out for rattle snakes. They are around, but we did not see any.

Great park, Concrete parking ramps, and level. The wiring pedestal checks out to be wired correctly, good water pressure. The campsite is large, and clean with a fire pit (they sell firewood). There is an anchor so if you choose to tie out your family member he or she won’t wander to far. The view is exceptional. There is a splash park playgrounds for grandkids located away from the rv parking. Down the hill is Bonita Golf Course. 👍👍👍👍👍
