It's not a huge campground but there is plenty of privacy. The Camp Host is the nicest, most helpful guy we've run across in our travels. For $15 we a nice spot with a fire pit. A water spigot was...

We had a fun day driving through and seeing various parks in the area. Cleveland National Park is 460,000 acres (720 sq miles). There are also some nice areas for pretty desert views.

Very greenery and beautiful scenic drive with tall pine trees, easy to park and lot of hiking trails, you can further go towards north to Julian and grab a nice lunch. Many places to stop by and see the scenic view. Lot of biking trails too and you will reach 5777 ft. There is a gift shop and lodge.

Nice but bumpy ride to Tenaja Falls Trailhead. Go slow if you have low clearance vehicle. About 1 hour west of Menifee, CA. in the mountains. Hike is about 20+ minutes from trailhead. Trail was very good condition with slight incline to falls area. Only went to top area. Don't know if there is a way towards bottom area.

Stayed in the Burnt Ranchera Campground. Campgrounds were clean and well taken care of. Campground allowed quick access to many trails and scenic routes. Will be going again soon.

The views are breathtaking! There are so many trails to choose from and explore. There is plenty of parking conveniently located near most trails. For those without a park pass, you can also find parking within walking distance of some routes. Don't forget to bring your sunscreen, water, and your camera. Happy hiking, biking, running, or camping.

What a great hike at Lake Morena! The weather was perfect! Not too hot... not too cold! The last picture is a bonus pic!
