Discover Cuyamaca Rancho State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips
Just 40 miles east of San Diego there’s a 25,000-acre oasis made up of rolling hills, meadows, mixed conifer and deciduous trees, large streams, and waterfalls. Cuyamaca Rancho State Park is one of the highest areas in San Diego County, with Cuyamaca Peak topping out just past 6,500 feet. This scenic park is a result of a rancher’s 1933 land sale to the California State Parks system. The acquisition provided work for the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps, whose work still remains today despite the destructive 2003 Cedar Fire that burned much of the park.

Getting Outdoors
The restored lands at Cuyamaca Rancho provide over 100 miles of trails for hikers, bicyclists, and equestrians. One of the shortest, easiest hikes is the self-guided Paso Picacho Nature Trail in the Paso Picacho Campground. Other popular hiking trails include the 3.5-mile hike to the fire lookout with spectacular views of the desert and ocean, and the 2-mile Stonewall Peak Trail that offers views of Cuyamaca Lake and the old Stonewall Mine. Some of the trails will take you to small waterfalls and swimming holes. Stop by the visitor’s center for maps explaining all of the different hiking, biking, and horse trails.
Camping at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park
Cuyamaca Rancho State Park has two RV campgrounds that are open year-round. Due to the park’s older design, the maximum recommended RV length is 30 feet, which you should keep in mind when renting an RV. All of the sites have fire rings and picnic tables, and each campground has a dump station, coin-operated showers, and flushing toilets. Hookups are not provided. You’re welcome to bring your pet camping at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, but they must be on a leash and are not allowed on trails.
Exploring the Area
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park borders Cuyamaca Rancho and can extend your hiking and horseback opportunities even further. It too has RV camping opportunities. Nearby businesses will let you hire a horse and a guide for a day and take you riding through this high desert landscape. The remote, high location is also favored by a couple of animal centers. A few miles north of the park there’s a wolf center, and a few miles south of the park there’s a small zoo that will get you up close and personal to lions, tigers, and bears.

We had a great time camping along the Eastern Sierra's and checking out the National Scenic views. The van was very comfortable, easy to drive and had awesome gas mileage. Curtis was very easy to communicate with and met our needs with a last minute booking. Can't wait to get on the road again!!

Great trailer! We use outdoorsy often and have tried lots of different mattresses. The queen in this trailer is by far the best we’ve had. It was clean and spacious. We’d use this trailer again for sure

Cris is a perfect host. This was our first time RVing and renting and he was so great about teaching us everything we would need to know to ensure a safe and smooth trip. The RV is good but his hosting is really what made our renting experience exceptional.
