Discover Barrett Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips
Barrett Lake is a man-made reservoir in San Diego County, only a short drive east from the metropolis of San Diego. The primary purpose of the lake is to provide domestic water supplies for the area. The 746 foot long Barrett Dam was completed in 1922, but the lake was kept private and only opened to the public in 1994.

Getting Outdoors
Barrett Lake is carefully managed to preserve the fish stock and also protect the water supply. To access the lake, you have to make a reservation online and purchase tickets. Access to the lake is through private land and locked gates, which you will be escorted through. Camping at Barrett Lake is prohibited, so you’ll need to find an RV campground nearby.
Camping at Barrett Lake
There are no campgrounds at Barrett Lake. The nearest is Corral Canyon campground, but this is definitely a site for those that enjoy disconnecting from the world. The campground is very basic and doesn’t even have potable water available. There is a vault toilet, but that is the extent of the facilities. It’s probably not the first choice for people camping with an RV.
Exploring the Area
The nearest town of any size is Alpine, around 30 minutes to the north, which is close to Interstate 8. Here you’ll find all the facilities you need, such as a gas station, general stores, and restaurants. It is a great place to stock up on your essentials before taking your rental RV on to a campground.

Incredibly responsive and super nice host, great attention to detail in showing me, a relative newbie, around the van. Will rent gain if I can!
The van was great. I went with me and my two boys aged 11 and 7, they slept up top and I slept down below, it was plenty of space for us. Host had provided everything we needed pretty much outside of our own food and drinks

This was an eight day round trip from SD to Bend, camping/RV parks along the way. Outdoorsy was easy to set up like I remember, no problems. Ryan, the host was fantastic and accessible. He spent an extraordinary amount of time explaining all of the features available in the RV before my departure, as well as providing valuable links to little YT video tutorials to refresh me - for example how to fill up the RV with water. I ALWAYS felt like the information and owner were available to me, day or night, and this was tremendously reassuring. This is an all-inclusive vehicle, with all sort of accessories to make for fun, camping and road joy. Seriously, I cannot think of a single thing I'd want more in a vehicle: Huge, comfortable bed/futon, induction stove, camping gear stowed away underneath, with everything remote/handy for comfort. This easily could be a comfortable residence. Finally, my thanks to Ryan as everything was immaculate and perfectly maintained. I just couldn't of asked for more for our trip and I would preferentially work with him again. Mike
