Pinezanita Campgrounds & Rv's

Pinezanita Campgrounds & Rv's is a campground in Julian, CA, situated on Highway 79. Operating since 1968, the park hosts thousands of campers each year with RVs, trailers, and outdoor enthusiasts drawn to the mountains above San Diego. Located at an elevation of 4,680 feet on 86 acres, the campground is designed for couples and families seeking a quiet, peaceful getaway, with no tent or dry camping permitted and quiet hours running from 9pm to 8am.

Founded by Christine Stanley in the late 1960s, Pinezanita grew from its early beginnings, when campers cleared their own spots among the pines and manzanitas, into a long-running destination for family traditions and outdoor adventure. Through the decades, the park has stayed focused on providing an excellent location for outdoor adventure and family traditions, and many guests have taken advantage of the "Cabin in the Mountains" program to become part of the Pinezanita family. Visitors can tour the RV Park and Campground to see what has been done to make each visit memorable.

Office hours run Monday through Thursday 9am to 4:45pm, Friday 9am to 4:45pm, Saturday 9am to 4:45pm, and Sunday 9am to 3:45pm, with after-hours check-in not permissible. Fires must be out by 11pm, and Wi-Fi is coming soon. Guests can be reached by phone at (760) 765-0429 or by mail at P.O. Box 2380, Julian, CA 92036.

With more than five decades of continuous operation in the Julian mountains and thousands of returning campers across the generations, Pinezanita stands as a long-established campground built around hospitality, quiet surroundings, and a connection to the Southern California outdoors.
