William Heise County Park

This park is fantastic. It's a true gem.. the little wooden cabins are perfect for a sleepover. They don't have any kitchens or running bathrooms in them, but they have a giant fire pit in the back where you can grill and they have shared bathrooms and showers. Great for a few days or a week. Lots of giant RVs were parked and they have plenty of tent camping for individuals and large groups.
The best grocery store is before you climb the mountain as groceries and Julian are pretty expensive and selection is sparse, so guess what you need before you go the final distance to Julian. Great hiking trails, friendly people. Cute shopping stores. It's an overall wonderful experience.

Nice peaceful place dense with pine, oak, cedar, manzanita, to name a few. There is a trailhead on the edge of the camp ground that has a nice desert view trail.

Great campground a short drive from San Diego and close to Julian. Safe, well maintained, lots of hiking trails, and hot showers (coin operated).

Scenic, peaceful and convenient to Julian and Wynola. The park is 4 miles off of the main highway, 4 miles west to Wynola and 1 mile east to Julian.
The camping loops consist of cabin loop, tent only loop, RV only loop with partial hookups, RV and Tent loops: 1 with partial hookups and 1 with none. Bathrooms with flush toilets, one central one with coin op showers in the same lot with a dump station. Day use area includes small picnic area and playground. The RV loop has a central gathering area. Adjacent to the cabin loop has horse shoe pits. There are a few trails from the park and more south of Julian in the Cuyamaca and Laguna mountains. They sell good hardwood firewood bundles.

Great little San Diego get away park for day use or camping. Campsites and park is super clean and well maintained. Lots of pine trees and local wild flowers, native plants and grass. Hiking trails were also private and peaceful with a few sitting benches placed along trails. Wildlife everywhere. Dudley's Famous Bakery and Cafe west of park and the town of Julian east of park.
