Visited a friend who was staying here in their camper for a few hours. It was a really nice spot, we went out on the lake and rented a boat, brought an umbrella since you are in direct sunlight, and spent some time having dinner at their campsite. A fun place to hang out with family or friends, beautiful and peaceful. We had drinks at night at the campsite, and they had restrooms for you to use on-site as well, the only thing that is a bummer is that you aren't allowed in the water since it is a reservoir.

Best camping in San Diego. Without the drive. Lake Jennings is a beautiful reservoir in east San Diego. Great shoreline and fish 🐟 👌🏻 well stalked. Located in Lakeside CA. My home town.. total family spot. And some of the best camping spots I've ever seen and camped at. NO SWIMMING THOUGH 😕. BUT WORTH IT. FREE SHOWERS 🚿. CLEAN . BEAUTIFUL SUN RISES. THERE ARE LAKE SITES AND CITY VIEW SITES. LUXURY SITES. ½ AND PARTIAL HOOK UP. A MUST !
