Lake Morena County Park em os Estados Unidos

The lake has evaporated, devoid of facilities, and the water is unfit for consumption. The only saving aspect was the abundance of avian life.

We stayed here because I was slack-packing the first 77 miles of the PCT and this campground was pretty well located for my husband to drive around dropping me off and picking me up. Our site was fairly level but there are no pads; it's dust and grassy patches. Our site had water and electric but no sewer. Actually, the water is not drinkable so we didn't even hookup water; instead we filled up at nearby Boulder Oaks Campground prior to checking in at Lake Morena. We liked our site mainly because we could see all the PCT hikers coming on the trail, which was fun. (There's a PCT hiker tent area at the back of the campground if you want to go chat with them.) During the week, the campground was very empty but during the weekend every spot was taken. The campground's east side, where site 48 is located, is right next to some neighborhood houses. We never saw any people at these houses though. The sites at the west end of the campground are closer to the lake and are larger. The lake is really hard to see anywhere really because it's about half the size of most of the pictures you see due to the drought. The bathrooms are ok but there are only metal toilet seats (actually, no seat). One of the two showers in the Women's restroom was out of order the entire week. The other shower is pretty dirty--wear rubber shoes! Shower costs .50 for 4 minutes/1.00 for 8 minutes and had a pretty low flow but it got the job done. My husband said both showers worked but over the weekend, several of the men's toilets were clogged. (It's really busy on the weekend and there's only one bathroom for the entire campground.) I would only come back to this campground if I was doing hiking on the very south part of the PCT. If you don't need hookups, the state campgrounds Burnt Rancheria and Mt. Laguna are very nice, although, some sites are very small and not level at Burnt Rancheria.

We came here after our first choice, a national forest site was closed due to the government shut down. Turns out it is quite a nice place. Lots of site that are very well placed and shaded. Roads are paved, sites are gravel with picnic tables and fire rings. Lots of grass between sites. It was quiet when we were there, but it was winter. Bathrooms are not heated. There is a nice loop hike that incorporates part of the PCT. Good ATT service, non existent Verizon service.

This is a pretty campground about an hour east of San Diego. One of the great things about this park is that very few people seem to know about it, so it is pretty easy to snag a spot even at short notice. There are a few sites with electric and water hookups ,and they are also the sites with the best lake views, especially sites 11 though 15. Some of the sites are not very level,so you will probably needs leveling blocks. The sites are well spaced so you shouldn't feel too crowded here. There are also a few cabins to rent here too. You can hike around part of the lake from the campground. The small town next to the park has a couple of general stores, the one nearest to the park has a great selection of craft beers. But best bring your groceries in with you.

The campground itself is set back away from the lake, however some sites have a real nice view. Those spots are mostly the RV sites and the sites with low numbers. Amenities are clean and well kept, however the sites are close together for the price. Water is shared every other site. We fished at the lake and caught some stocked trout. Fishing requires a ca fishing license, lake fishing license, boat launch fee, boat inspection for quagga mussels, and a day use parking fee... something to consider if you want to fish here, they seem to nickel and dime you just for wanting to use the lake that you are paying to camp by.
