Joel's campsite in San Diego is praised for its quiet, safe, and conveniently located setting, making it a preferred stop for travelers. Joel himself is frequently mentioned for being welcoming, friendly, and helpful, often going above and beyond to assist guests, even during late arrivals. While most reviews highlight the peacefulness and accessibility of the site, a few mention challenges with the driveway and parking, particularly for larger RVs, though Joel's assistance often mitigates these issues. The campsite provides essential amenities like water and electricity, contributing to a comfortable stay according to many visitors.
The was a great spot for us to set-up and explore San Diego. It was also great for the dogs, who could run free in the space and play with all the other camper's dogs. The toilet doesn't have a door and the shower is pretty open, so beware that you'll need a buddy to be on the lookout for people coming by if you're on the shy side.
We needed a place in Chula Vista for appointments. Super pleased with Joel our host. Really low key atmosphere. We have a large class b van and had no issues. Slightly awkward entrance, just approach slowly and turn gently.
Joel was an amazing host, super welcoming and took the time to show us around. The site is a perfect spot to stay while visiting San Diego, quiet and safe. Highly recommend!
