4 San Diego Fall Adventures You Don’t Want To Miss

September 7, 2023 / Sara Guenther

Ah, the fall season. Anyone else choose fall as their favourite? I just love the gorgeous colours of the trees as their leaves begin to die off, and that crispness that freshens the air. I love all of the clothes of fall, and cozying up with chunky blankets. It doesn’t hurt that my birthday is in the fall and as a girl who never really liked cake, instead requested pumpkin pie each year. Mmm, pumpkin! Even growing pumpkins and baking them into delicious treats is fun. Seriously… fall is the best. (I do love summer, too, though. But also because it means I get to look forward to fall!)

Planning Your Next Trip to Green Valley Falls: What You Need to Know

August 17, 2023 / Sara Guenther

Camping season might be drawing to a close, but I just had to post about our most recent camping experience. The great thing about Southern California is that camping is really never off the list of things to do. We’re blessed with several different climates which makes for great year round camping.

This most recent trip we decided to try camping at Green Valley Falls, part of Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. We’ve been to this park quite a few times and have enjoyed it in all of its open seasons, but this was our first time camping at this campground. Actually I had intentionally avoided camping here (you’ll notice I did not include it on my list of best San Diego family friendly campgrounds).

6 Best San Diego Campgrounds for Families

May 15, 2023 / Sara Guenther

Camping season is upon us here in San Diego, as the school year draws to a close. While camping in San Diego is very doable all year, there is nothing better than summer nights under the stars, complete with campfire songs and sticky s’mores.

Now, before I dive into the best San Diego campgrounds, I think it needs to be mentioned that everyone has their own preferences, specifically when it comes to HOW to camp. If you’re a glamper or require a daily shower you probably won’t like at least half of my list. While some of these campgrounds aren’t high end, they also aren’t completely primitive (no amenities). But each of these campgrounds offers something special, and most will give your family a beautiful, quiet, nature immersed experience.
