  • Dos Picos County Park Trip Notes

    Dos Picos County Park is located in Ramona, California. Its name is Spanish for "two peaks," derived from the two prominent mountains nearby. The surrounding ranch land and steep rocky slopes help preserve its secluded atmosphere.

    This park is known for its magnificent Oak trees.  The landscape is a mixture of chaparral, open grassland, and oak woodland. Coyote, fox, possum, skunk, and raccoon are all seen in the park regularly.

    The city of Ramona is minutes away when driving.  You may purchase food and other supplies there.

    Maximum RV length is 40 feet.  All sites have E/W. Several sites will be dedicated as tent sites.  These sites can have three tents, max and two cars.  The water spigots at these sites are unique.  It is housed in a plastic box that sits below ground level.  

    Tent campers, all the sites are gravel.   We put two tent campers on one site.  Your tent will likely be pitched on gravel.  Please bring blow-up mattresses or cots to sleep on, so you are not sleeping on gravel.  Tents should also bring extension cords. 

    At each site there is room for an RV and tow vehicle, or two vehicles.  Extra vehicles can park in the overflow lot for a total of $10, which is paid by GOPS.  The overflow parking lot is NOT close.  

    Leashed dogs are welcome at $2/night/dog.  Campers will pay for their own dogs upon check-in at the campground. 

    Sites 63 & 69 are ADA sites.  If you have an ADA placard or license plate, please let the trip leader know.   

    Site 49 is below the group circle, but there is a nearby staircase or the road which makes it easy to walk up to the pavilion circle.  This site is also RV only. 

    We will have access to the indoor pavilion and its outdoor picnic area.  It is located in the middle of all our sites.  There is a massive fire pit. The use of that pavilion and its outdoor space was an additional cost that was figured into the cost of this campout.  Typical weather in this area in November is high 73, low 42.

    Cancellation policy: cancel for full refund minus a $10 fees on or before Nov. 1st, 2026.
