Escondido is only 30 minutes from the coast and spots like Oceanside, Carlsbad, and LEGOLAND, and a mere twenty minutes from Torrey Pines State Beach and Natural Reserve.

Choosing an RV site in or around Escondido bears the benefit of being close to the Pacific Ocean as well as to the natural gems of the immediate area like Cleveland National Forest, Hellhole Canyon Preserve, and Black Mountain Open Space Park.
