Year: 2022

In April 2020 the County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation opened a new campground in the Tijuana River Valley Regional Park (TRVRP). The 79-acre campground site features 51 campsites for both tent and RV use and a Yurt Village, consisting of 6 small and 4 large yurts large enough to accommodate a household or small group. The Yurt Village was designed with youth and school groups in mind as an educational retreat focusing on underserved populations. The campground also features a nature education center for families and school/youth groups, including disadvantaged youth who may not have had the opportunity to experience camping in a natural environment. The nature education programs and events hosted at the campground promote environmental stewardship and offer a unique connection to nature in South Bay. The nature education center is also open for day use and includes a nature trail with participatory interpretive panels, an amphitheater for educational programs and nature-based play features providing a range of activities and challenges for all ages. The campground is connected to the 22.5 miles of trails in TRVRP and located one mile east of the Pacific Ocean.
