Rancho Bernardo Recreation Center / Park | Informal Campsite

June 1st, 2023 by amtravelling.nl

Was here on a Thursday. Night was quiet after everybody left from baseball training. There are toilets that are open all day and night and a couple of water fountains.

A nice short trail starts from the parking lot through the hills.

Arrived yesterday in a 23 feet camper and just woke up. Had a good night, nobody bothered me. Good wifi inside the building. There’s also a nice trail that leads to the mountains.

Parked by the dog park. Hopefully, I won’t be disturbed here.

Quiet, no signs saying we couldn’t park here overnight. Playground, trails, dog park, bathrooms. So far a favorite, even with our obvious 24’ motorhome with tow rack behind us, plenty of areas for our rig! So nice, light hum from freeway but hardly noticed. Will update each stay or if we have any problems. :)))!

Nice spot! Quiet and restful! Pull around to far back parking. There are toilets and sink. Great view of mountains too .

Not a bad spot to stay overnight - there was a baseball practice until about 930pm, and a few people stuck around talking in the parking lot till about 10pm, but no one bothered me at all. There are picnic tables and a clean bathroom which is nice. Woke up & left around 6am, there were a few people running & walking dogs through the park. Overall decent spot, secluded & quiet!

The place was empty when we arrived around 9pm. The restrooms was open, so we could use the toilets. Very quite and silent during the night. Around 7am some people started coming for some morning exercises, but no one disturbed us.

Massive parking lot. Some highway noise.

A little highway him but otherwise a decent spot to settle in for a night. Parking lot with baseball fields nearby. Recreation crowds were here until about 8:30pm. Left at 7am with no hassle.

A little I15 highway hum but nice spot. Arrived with softball/baseball games and families still here but everyone left afterwards and lot was quiet. Left at 7am and no one around.

This is a large parking lot of a community recreation center with a tennis club. We didn't ask for permission (came in very late), but also didn't see any no overnight signs or other parking restrictions.

The recreation center opening hours are:

Monday - Noon to 6:45 pm
Tuesday 11-8:45 pm
Wednesday 11 - 6:45 pm
Thursday 11-7:45 pm
Friday 2 - 6:45 pm
Saturday 9 - 2:45 pm
Sunday - Closed

So if you come in late and leave before ~8:00 you should be good. Not a great spot, but quiet (with some highway noise), if you are passing through. We came in at 2:00am and left around 9:30am after it got busy with park visitors. Employees with golf carts showed up around 8am to clean the park, but nobody bothered us, even though our van is an obvious camper.
