Not clear to me that there are any nice camping sites in metro San Diego. We
have stayed at Campland by the Bay, for something higher than $60 per day
(your own stretch of parking lot with 6 feet clear on either side of the
Vanagon. At least there were toilets!

As the worst rip-off I have ever encountered, the De Anza Resort, Campground,
hell hole ... $60 for a parking space in a pile of cluttered debris from old
rusted trailers, complete with a construction site toilet.

My advice, San Diego is not for camping. Stay at a private home, park at a
motel or go up to any of the excellent sites outside metro SD.

Oh, yeh, for a quite friendly place that is an upgrade from the De Anza
Resort, try the police station parking lot or the local hospital.
