Dripping Springs Campground

This was a great alternative to the expensive RV Resorts nearer Temecula. The roads and sites are all paved. The sites are well spaced and shaded with lots of great trees. Each site has a picnic table, grill and fire pit. Our pull through was very level. The pit toilets were clean. The water spigots are threaded, so mad putting some water in the tanks easy. There is a long hiking/equestrian trail at the top of the park. The only downside was we could hear the highway from our site near the front of the park. ATT worked adequately.

We just stayed 1 night in August. Easy to locate the campgrounds and sign-in after driving through and picking a spot. There were only a couple other campers during the week in August. Pit Toilets were ok and there are water spigots throughout the grounds to use (some threaded). Yellow jackets liked the outdoor food, which wasn't too much fun.

Spaces were roomy and spread out. Our space was back away from the road and it was quiet. The campground road is also a road to the trailhead so you can get some additional traffic from hikers coming and going. About 50% of the spaces had good shade but when we went many were blocked off and we never figured out why especially since they also had future reservations noted on their posts.
We only got 3G and that was if you went up towards the highway; when tucked back in further there is no signal.

We'd do future overnighters here when visiting Temecula - its convenient.

The one huge good thing was the three wild turkeys. The campsites were nice. But so many bugs. One outhouse was disgusting. No cell service at all.

No Verizon signal, none. Very nice camp host and beautiful, but small spots. The bathroom smelled great and sanitizer was available. There are two hiking trails.

Nice camp sites, many are pull through all have easy access. Super nice camp host and terrific hikes. Pit toilets were clean. Can’t beat it for 15$! The KOA across the road is over 100$. To reserve online you must book at least 4 days in advance. We were there on New Years weekend and there were plenty of spaces.

Nice state campground right off the highway on the way to Anza-Borrego. Surrounded by mountains with hiking trails. $15 cash in envelope, or they now book/pay on the Recreation.gov app. No problem not reserving ahead. Spot 4 was totally level and most are paved. Restrooms were decent. Lots of potable water taps around the sites. Good star gazing.
