Description

Enjoy primitive camping under the oaks at Upper San Juan Campground, conveniently located just off Ortega Highway. Despite the ease of access, it’s a small campground for tents and small RVs only, and it doesn’t see a huge amount of use. With hiking, picnicking and basic amenities, Upper San Juan is a nice place for relaxing outdoors in nice weather or communing with nature. Up for grabs to become your special favorite spot.
