Our first time zip lining at La Jolla Zip Zoom and it was absolutely amazing! The entire experience was breathtaking — from the scenic drive in, to the stunning views throughout the course. The service was top-tier, and the staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely sweet. A special shoutout to the four all-stars who made our day unforgettable: Quinn, Ivan, Elijah, and Uriel. These guys were so kind, fun, and full of great energy — truly beautiful souls who made us feel safe, supported, and excited the whole time! We had such a great time as a family and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to experience this together. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventure with amazing views and even better people!
Awesome experience! The staff was kind, helpful and entertaining. Everything flows smoothly from the second you drive up. The views were incredible (my personal favorite was the 3rd zip line that brings you over the river and through the trees). I highly recommend getting out here for an adventure.
Unforgettable Zip Lining Adventure! Our zip lining experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The zip lines themselves were breathtaking — soaring over the trees with stunning views all around. Everything felt very well maintained and organized, and the whole experience had the perfect mix of adrenaline and fun. Huge thanks to Alan, Cory, Ray, and Joseph for an unforgettable day! From the moment we arrived, their energy and professionalism put us at ease. We’ll definitely be back and recommending this adventure to all our friends.
We had such a great experience! We were both a little nervous but they all made you feel safe and were very reassuring! Would definitely recommend! Aiden and Quinn were great! Thanks again for a fun day!
Had an amazing time! Really great activity to do with the family. There were 6 of us and we were guided by Aiden, Codey, and Leanna who all were personable and had great energy. The entire process is pretty smooth and they essentially did everything for us in terms of suiting us up, getting us on/off, and shuttling us around. The lines are in the mountains so they prepared us for the bumpy ride up and interacted with us frequently to make sure we were still feeling safe and comfortable. Even though I got a little more anxious as we reached the top, music was playing and once I was secured in for the first line, I felt safer than I did riding up. They explained every step thoroughly, answered our questions, and took their time. There are 3 unique lines, I highly recommend taking a look around, enjoying the view, and having fun with the guides! Definitely fulfilled my adrenaline rush. Super grateful to have been guided by these three, thank you!
An Unforgettable Experience - Highly Recommend! I recently did the Zipline Tour in La Jolla with my mom, and it was absolutely incredible - one of the best experiences I've had in my life! The height was absolutely insane and exhilarating. The guides were extremely kind, professional, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting La Jolla. It's truly an unforgettable adventure that you won't regret! Thank you to the entire team for making this such a memorable experience for us.
Me and my sisters had the best time ziplining at La Jolla Indian Adventure Park! Our guides-- Corey, Ivan, & Quinn were fantastic. They were very helpful and knew what they were doing, but also made the experience so much fun! The ziplines themselves were great and each had such beautiful views. I definitely recommend La Jolla Zip Zoom, we would all love to do it again!
La Jolla Zip Zoom is an absolute must-do! The views are breathtaking, and the experience is exhilarating from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and safety-conscious, making us feel comfortable and excited the whole time. Each zip line offers a unique perspective of the beautiful surroundings, and the thrill of flying through the air is unforgettable. Whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced zipliner, this adventure is perfect for all. Highly recommend it for a fun day out with family or friends — we’ll definitely be back!

For a relatively small casino, the food at the Cafe, Lindo Valle and Deli are absolutely amazing! The menu has such a great variety ranging from pastas, salads, pizza, Asian dishes, sandwiches and so much more. Surprising part is that the flavors are spot on delicious! My favorite experience is the Friday Surf and Turf buffet. Not only is the food tasty, it’s the friendly service from the hostesses, to the servers (Peter and Raquel) and especially MARCELL in the kitchen! He’s consistently willing to genuinely serve and does so with a smile. Makes you feel very welcome so thank you for that Marcell man!
Their $8.99 steak and eggs went up to $9.99 but still good portion and good price. We love going there for breakfast, and our favorite waitress is Ms. Robin. She's amazing. They have cheap table limits, and they have most of the slot games. It is also a smoking casino. Mostly elderly are there, but when you want quiet and no drama, perfect place to go.
This is my favorite casino in all of southern california. I have won the most money here and I have won at any other casino. Very important that you get a player's card before you begin playing. Because you get lots of benefits with it as well as being entered into the drawings that happened automatically. On New Year's Eve, I was the fortunate player who won the hot seat. Worth just over two thousand dollars. It was very exciting. The food was good and the games were fantastic. I would speculate.They are the loosest slots in town. Good luck, but i'm sure you won't need it.
Nice local casino with great staff. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Low key local vibe Clean & well kept. Food was good!
I sat down to play Paigow poker and my first hand was a royal flush. What an awesome surprise. this is a pretty cool place to go with low limits and a friendly atmosphere. They have a couple of restaurants a buffet in a Mexican restaurant both are really good and reasonable. there is plenty of parking as well.
What a secret gem of a place. I recommend this to anyone but if you're in an RV you're in for a treat. (Three free parked nights) Simple casino layout with small town vibes if I lived here I would become a regular. Shout out to the parking lot party bus. That made my night. Definitely saving this for a time I want to get away. Clean, fresh, super kind and friendly staff, nice bar right in the middle and THE VIEW!!! Go in the wintertime to see some breathtaking views. I felt like I was on the Jurassic Park island. Really was soaking it up. Great shuttle system. The food is spectacular for what it is. I mean what more do you really need. This place checks all the boxes.
Casino Pauma may be small, but it packs a punch with its cozy vibe and unbeatable $5 blackjack tables—some of the lowest limits around. Tucked in Pauma Valley, it’s a quick escape from San Diego. The slots are fun, and the staff is warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the Grove Buffet’s tasty variety and the lively Red Parrot Lounge. It’s no mega-resort, but the friendly service and affordable gaming make it a hidden gem. Perfect for a laid-back day out!
I go strictly for the food! Cafe-buffet is good, Mexican side is better! And best peanut butter cookies I’ve had in ages at the grab and go !

Always a great place to pick persimmons. 2 spots of land to pick. Almost ripe this time, going this past Saturday. Still, some are sweet. The people are there are nice. The place is well kept. I saw that they gave tractor rides to pick as well. They give buckets and a wagon if available, $1/Lbs.
They are open for business. We were there 2 weeks ago and were able to pick jujubes and pomegranates. They had a sign saying mid october is the best time for persimmon picking. We'll definitely be back!
Im coming back for you puppy 🐶 i wish I can take you to boston with us 🥹 this place is really nice and the persimmons are very tasty 😋 beautiful fruits and nice people.
Very nice ranch, friendly people, a lot fruits, they provide everything what you need pike up fruits, they drove and pike up to place where we can pick up fruits. Excellent service, great price. Runch nice and clean. Great plece ! Definitely will be beak! Thanks for your hard work!
I have been coming to Bar 2 Ranch since I was a child and I'm in my mid 30s. This season was the first time I took my little one up there and it brought back so many memories! I absolutely love this place! Everyone is so pleasant and the fruits are amazing!!!!!! I can't wait for next season!!!!!
Nice place for picking persimmon! We had a fun time here. I highly recommend this place for family group, also their persimmons are sweet .
Persimmon season!! Persimmon picking is a MUST try! They provided buckets and clippers, dont forget to borrow their wagon! I had so much fun. Pick only what you buy. And they have other fresh fruits to sell. Staff are very friendly.
We went yesterday and picked some persimmons, jujubes and pomegranates. Maybe another week or two. They weren’t completely ready yet. The Owners were so nice. They are open 8-5 daily. Deft take a ride.

Very interesting and functional lookout tower. They have people spotting wild fires. A piece of history that is worth visiting. The views from the top are so amazing!
A cool place to kick it if you are riding... very well staffed... visit was in November... somewhat kid friendly with a mini-museum exhibit. Parking must be paid for on the park grounds.
Amazing tower and vista to see your surroundings. The ranger that works here is super friendly and invited us up to check out the station. Bathrooms here as well! $10 fee at the ranger station at entrance.
🗻Boucher Hill 🗻 Fire 🔥 Lookout Towers 🗼 Came here with our motorcycle chapter to view the panoramic views. You can see from Tijuana to the Pacific ocean. All the way to Lake Elsinore The views were breathtaking for miles to see in all directions. There's an observatory platform and also a tower to see a more incredible view.. Once there you must take the tour in the tower. May be steep stairs for some. Though the climb is worth it. The Park Ranger gives you the history of the tower through the years of it's inception. You won't be disappointed making a morning or afternoon of the area!! Take many pictures!!📸🤳🏻📷
Visited purely by chance and were politely greeted by the forestry ranger who invited us to the top of the tower. We were not expecting this at all, and what a great experience. Views spanning for miles and miles as far as Mexico. Very welcoming, extremely tranquil and very interesting. The ranger was very knowledgable and made our day.
What a beautiful place to visit. The lookout personnel were really friendly with such a wealth of knowledge. Thank u for making sure our forest is wildfire safe
It’s probably too early in the season. No one else was up there. There’s still a bit of snow, on the first day of spring, on the path going up. The view is great.
3.5 miles easy kids friendly hike. Took 2hours get back to the parking lots. Ranger at the fire look out was very friendly and gave us good information. Allowed kids to use his binoculars and they enjoyed it a lot. only 6 people can go up at the same time. everything was good except bee sting.

Hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts! The setting is beautiful in the mountains by a river, and they offer ziplines, tube rental and bike shuttles as well as an expansive, low key, peaceful campground. We were there off season, but still surprised how empty it was for such a great spot. There are RV sites under big old oaks with water and electric, and shady tent sites scattered all along the river. The bathroom/showers were clean and adequate, and there are clean porta-potties throughout the campground for convenience. Also has a dump station for RV. The people there are super nice and felt like old friends immediately. Campground rules are just the thoughtful basics to ensure everyone has a good time. But be aware there are no bottles or glass containers allowed and no pets, measures to maintain this clean, safe area along a river that people swim and tube in. Respect for the environment is evident and appreciated!
To be honest; I was kind of concerned while reading some of the single star reviews and here’s my honest unbiased review after spending a weekend there. If you are a super clean, organized, and by the book person; this campsite may not be for you. There are rules to the campgrounds but it’s very relaxed. Show up, find a spot to camp; literally anywhere. If you can park and pitch a tent; that’s a spot for you. I love the free spirited campgrounds that aren’t tied down by too many rules and regulations. We pitched a tent by the river and parked across the dirt road. We swam, we tubed down the river, and hiked. Lovely weekend. Staffs picked up trash from trash cans twice a day and cleaned the portal potty daily. It’s a camp ground for camping; it’s supposed to be different than what we have at home. Thank you staffs for a wondering weekend. Service ⭐️ Cleanliness ⭐️ Activities ⭐️ Overall experience ⭐️ Will come back again ⭐️
🚫 Disappointing Experience – Not Recommended I regret giving this campground a chance. Despite reading several negative reviews, I decided to try it out—and I truly regret it. Organization & Cleanliness: • There are no designated campsites. It’s first-come, first-served, which creates chaos and confusion. • Facilities are poorly maintained. There’s one small bathroom building with limited access and many dirty portable toilets. The building near us was closed by 8 p.m. Customer Service: • The staff were unhelpful and seemed more focused on maximizing sales than on providing a comfortable experience. • Security did nothing to enforce rules or support guests during problems. Noise & Environment: • Early arrivals grab all the space, even if you’ve made a reservation. • Loud music plays well into the night, making it hard to relax. Final Thoughts: This place is not worth your time, money, or peace of mind. If you’re seeking an organized, clean, and relaxing camping experience, I highly recommend looking elsewhere.
Amazing, breathtaking. The entire staff were so friendly and helpful. We are definitely going back for many more trips in the future. When I say the staff was amazing they always greet with a smile and were so respectful. Thank you to the staff that made our trip that much more pleasant.
👎 Terrible Experience – Would Never Return This campground was one of the worst I’ve ever stayed at. Everything felt messy, crowded, and poorly managed. There were no marked campsites, just a chaotic free-for-all. It didn’t matter if you had a reservation—people showed up early, took over the best spots, and didn’t care about anyone else. The portable toilets were dirty and smelled awful, and the small bathroom buildings were closed early in the evening. Staff didn’t care about comfort or safety. They just seemed focused on cramming in as many people as possible. Security didn’t help with anything, even when the music was blasting late into the night. We left feeling unwelcome, disappointed, and completely drained. This place is noisy, disorganized, and not worth your time or money.
We booked reservations online for two vehicles for day use picnic. ($50 a vehicle with 4 people)We arrived at 8 am. There were no reserved places to picnic. It was packed! No place to park no place to picnic. Cars and tents were jammed in any open space. It was total chaos. We tried to go to the splash pad for the kids but it wasn’t working. After driving back and forth for an hour searching for any place to squeeze in we decided to eat the $100 dollar entry fee for the two cars and left. We tried to go back for our zip lining reservation but there was no place to park and the line was so long to enter we missed our time. The only good thing was they allowed us to reschedule our zip lining. We drove the hour and a half back two days later to zip ( a Monday) and the park was empty. The zip lining was awesome and the staff were great. Lesson learned, Don’t go on a summer weekend.
I used to camp here as a kid and I remember it being nice. I recently tried to contact them to get information about the river conditions for today because some friends were going to camp there for their birthday tonight. I just wanted to go for the day and it cost the same as camping for one night but you have to leave at 4p as per their website. River conditions are not guaranteed because they don’t have control over the flow. The live stream to see the conditions isn’t on. No one answers the phone when you call for information. No way to know if it’s worth the drive to go tubing on a Friday. After reading all the bad reviews I decided not to go celebrate with my friends because I didn’t want to drive an hour to see if the river was open and pay $50 to go in it. Seeing people’s videos of the “river” already informs me that it is not worth the money. The “river” looks more like a small creek.
It was an amazing experience, I was a little nervous because I booked on memorial weekend but everything worked out just fine, we had a great spot, great neighbors and everyone is friendly. Of course you will get people passing through your spot specially if it’s in an area were the river is nice but everyone was respectful.the staff is super friendly and they come out to clean the trash and potties every morning. The only downfall was that the splash pads were closed during our stay. At first I was nervous about the water because it looks brown but it’s from the reflection of the sand underneath ,it’s actually pretty clean. Definitely coming out here again.
