We had a great time, it was fun. The cabins are small but excellent for resting. Clean and spacious. We went in summer and it can be somewhat hot inside the cabin. I recommend bring your own fan, the one that is there is small and is not enough to ventilate the cabin. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back again

Absolutely great country park,just an hour away from San Diego but once there it gives you a feeling like being Germany or something. Took my boys there for camping and we all had a great time, Julian is only about 10 mins drive where some great restaurants located

For a 25-30 footers, no problems. A few will accommodate larger rigs. E&W, with dump station- use of which will block restroom/shower parking lot exit. Nearby Julian. Avoid RV spaces 1-20 unless you want side by side parking lot loop camping.

Site #26. Nice campsite with water and electricity. Good shade. Short walk to clean restrooms. Only hiked a couple of trails, but good views. Will be back to explore the rest of the trails. Wild Turkeys running through campsites. Short drive to the town of Julian for delicious pie at Mom’s Pie House.

Questions & Answers

Can you have camp fires at Heise park?

Gina Adams | Aug 23, 2020
Abigail Bushnell | Aug 23, 2020

Yes you can. Unless the weather makes it a bad idea. But the rangers will let you know. They sell fire wood there at the gate so it is super easy.

Is the campground open now

Mark Gartland | Aug 24, 2019
Johnny Lopez | Aug 24, 2019

Generally speaking the grounds are open 24/7, and day-use passes start at 9:30am. Best to call ahead to see if there are any unforeseen circumstances that have caused a closure just to be sure.

Ramon Gonzalez | Jun 24, 2022

Ramon, there plenty of tent sights. The sights are well maintained, water is close to all. You will enjoy the air and seeing thousands of stars at night. Go into Julian for some apple pie and and icecream. Have fun

I want to stay in park for a month, with dogs. how much for cabins vs tent site?

Shannon Gay | Feb 24, 2022
Anna Cady | Feb 24, 2022

You will want to check out their reservations page for exact details. It's easy to use. From my experience their tent spots are around 30, partial hookup spots are around 35, and cabins are around $70 a night. Dogs are each extra per night at the tent and partial hook up spots. Dogs aren't allowed in the cabins.

How close together are tenting campsites? Wanting to take night sky photos and need close to complete darkness

Taylor Hamer | Aug 24, 2019
Mae Elizabeth Loose | Aug 24, 2019

They aren't super close but you can see each other. For complete darkness you will need to drive outside of the camp due to the light pollution from the outside lights.
