Camping...some of the best camping in SoCal. The campground is at 4000', plenty of shade from old growth pines/oaks. $25 a night, as much as I hate to pay to camp, the tribe is dirt poor (no casino) and they are opening their land to us, so I suck it up and pay the fee. There are NO designated camp spots, stake a claim and set up your camp where you see fit.
Bring CASH! No ATM for miles. If you get to the gate and no one is there, proceed to the campground...they'll find you, or pay on your way out.
Fires...the main camp area has not burned in over 60 years. They generally allow campfires, but there can be restrictions. Propane campfires are always allowed. There is an overabundance of downed wood throughout the reservation, downed wood gathering is allowed.
Amenities...NONE, lately there has been running water at some hose spigots scattered around the camp area. In the past, the water has NOT been guaranteed to be potable. There are some of the cleanest outhouses you'll see dispersed around the campground, and a dumpster for trash.
Nearest gas...miles away, Valero at Hwy 78/79 intersection, Santa Ysabel, CA coming northbound, LaJolla Indian store on Hwy 76 coming from the east, no idea coming southbound from Temecula.
Cell service...spotty at best in the campground area.
Wheeling...mild to wild...someone in the group has to be a member of their off road club ($75 a year) to get a key for gate access.
Mild... dirt road to the old firetower lookout, highest point in San Diego County, can usually be traversed by a high clearance 2wd. I've been on a trip where a FWD Honda Element made it top the top. Figure two hours for a round trip.
There are two distinct sides to the trails, coastal side and desert side. The coastal side trails are generally a little easier. The desert side can be HOT (bring lots of water), and the terrain is mostly granite/decomposed granite (DG). If you have never experienced DG, it's like BB's on ice, you can get out of shape REAL quick.
Wild...recommend short(er) wheelbase vehicle, 33" tires and one locker. Having said that, I've been on trips with stock vehicles on well worn street tires and had a good time. There is ALWAYS a chance of body damage/carnage when traveling off highway. If your vehicle is pristine and you want to keep it that way, stick to the lookout road and you SHOULD be OK.
