Guajome lake/ campground this place is beautiful they have some real nice spots for a tent, camper, trailer or motor home whats your pleasure? And the lake is beautiful also they even have just day use if you prefer, has showers, wood for your fire pit, electricity hookups and water at your campsite, table and nice shade trees this place is right in Oceanside close to town but when your there it feels like your way out in the wilderness somewhere else you must stay to really enjoy it and see the beauty this place has to offer, Happy Campers here,

A small but extremely nice campground where you can get that much needed R&R. The campground is part of the county park which offers many amenities such as an outdoor workout area, a beach volleyball court, a badminton court and many hiking trails with much wildlife. There are also playgrounds for the kids and a hall that can be rented for private events. A central bathroom with showers that is designated to campers only is an easy walk from most campsites. Showers require tokens which can be purchased from the rangers. All camp sites come with water & electricity that also include a fire ring and picnic table. All driveways are asphalt. A dump station is also on site and easy to access. Park staff members were friendly and were often visible. Tip: If you reserved and paid for your site online you can go right to your site after 2pm on your checkin date. A ranger will then come to your site to handle your checkin. You can also purchase firewood from the ranger at that time. The main gate promptly closes at sundown. After hour access can be made through the south entrance near the trail head. No visitors after 10 pm.

This little county gem is amazing. Full hook ups, quiet other than hwy traffic, cell service, showers, beautiful trails and lake and a friendly staff. Feels like a private RV resort. Should have discovered this place sooner

Is there rv parking

Sexiebrowneyes Thompson | Dec 26, 2018
Brian Palo | Dec 27, 2018

Yes, full hook up overnight parking by reservation only, approximately $29 a night, $5 fee for each reservation. Each additional vehicle is $4 per night. Recently completed utility upgrades. Last time we were there 2 months ago, only top half open. Took several days to get a time slot to rent for a few nights. Also has separate restrooms for overnight campers only. Showers 25¢ for 4 minutes. Watch out when someone flushes toilet, shower water gets cold, not hot as one would expect. The showers are inside building with no solid windows or doors. Meaning if it's 50F outside it's most likely close to that in the restrooms. We found them to be extremely clean and well stocked There is 1 large handicapped shower per sex with bench seat & regular shower head, in addition to a shower hose. You can set water to dispense from either nozzle head as desired.

What’s the fishing like here?

Ethan Peil | Dec 26, 2019
Joseph Jacobsen | Dec 27, 2019

Fishing is okay. The fish in water are not edible due to runoff from the 76 Highway. Several die-offs over the last couple of Summers have reduced fish population in both ponds at Guajome. Catfish bluegill and small Bass. Carp used to populate the lake but unknown if any survived last die off. There is no fee for fishing the lake as long as you have valid fishing license.

This might be a dumb question but. Do you have to reserve or pay to use the tables at the picnic/bbq area? Or is that just to ensure you have that space for your party?

Kristine Earl | Dec 26, 2018
Nick Borns | Dec 27, 2018

The tables and shelter area are free, but they are first come first served. Each vehicle must pay for parking and there is no nearby alternate space to avoid the fee.

Elizabeth hale | Dec 26, 2017
Joseph Jacobsen | Dec 27, 2017

Hi Elizabeth I'm one of the volunteers here at the park. Dogs are welcome in the park and Campground but must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet. There are dog stations for disposal of dog waste and free dog poopy bags. If you're coming to Camp make sure to make reservations as the camp is going through a major renovation right now.

P. Houck | Dec 26, 2019
Justin Symington | Dec 27, 2019

I'm not sure what the park rangers would say, but you definitely can't park at that time. It's clearly marked on the streets outside of the park, and the gates will be closed to enter the park. But, I wouldn't expect anyone to sweat you otherwise if you went for a run at that time.
