Bobcat Meadow Campground
Los Pinos Rd, Campo, CA
Bobcat Meadow Campground is a free, first-come first-served Forest Service campground in Cleveland National Forest near Campo, reached from I-8 via Buckman Springs Road, Morena Stokes Valley Road, and Los Pinos Road. It has about 20 primitive sites with picnic tables and fire rings, two vault toilets, and no fee, set among live oak groves at a higher elevation with chaparral and desert views.
The campground sits adjacent to the Corral Canyon OHV area and within reach of the Pacific Crest Trail and Lake Morena, making it a basic backcountry stop for riders exploring San Diego County's East County backroads rather than a resort-style stay. The access road handles most vehicles but is not a pull-through design.
