CAMPING & CABINS

Campground

Nice Spot!

If you live up north follow the ducks and migrate to Santee Lakes for the winter. If you already live in sunny San Diego, then bring the kids for a weekend or a week. Our campground nestled in the foothills, just 20 minutes from San Diego's big attractions.

RV Campsites

Choose from 300 full hookup campsites. All have free WiFi and some even have cable TV.

We have recently been informed that the City of Santee is requiring guests, staying in our cabins and campsites for twenty-nine day or less, to pay a 10% Occupancy Tax similar to hotels in the area. This Tax will be assessed on your stay for all reservations booked as of January 1, 2013. We look forward to your future stays at Santee Lakes. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at santeelakes@padre.com.”
