Years
of hospitality
Potrero Campground sits on the edge of the Cleveland National Forest, where rolling hills draped in blue oak and chaparral stretch as far as the eye can see. What started as a family love for the outdoors grew into a place where you can experience that same peace — without sacrificing comfort.
Our campground is designed for people who want to slow down. Wake up to birdsong instead of traffic. Trade screen time for starlight. Gather around a fire with people you care about, and actually listen.
Whether you're a seasoned camper or it's your first time under the stars, our team is here to make sure your stay is easy, safe, and memorable. No pretense, no rush — just good air, good company, and the kind of quiet that resets your whole week.
