Potrero County Park YOURS TO DISCOVER AND ENJOY
By Dan and Lisa Goy
WE WERE INTRODUCED TO the Potrero County Park a few years ago when traveling north to the US border aſter a few weeks on Baja. We made the decision to avoid Tijuana and cross at Tecate. We pulled in at dusk and, as “first impressions” go, we were impressed for sure! Now we start all our Baja RV Caravan Tours from Potrero, which includes our Rendezvous Reception. We know that in the tour business
it is important to start strong. Meeting everyone at Potrero ensures that happens - everyone is pleasantly surprised when they arrive, with
such a charming and picturesque campground. We are not alone in our opinion, as other Baja RV Caravan operators - and most RVers heading to Baja - stage from Potrero and oſten return prior to the journey northward. Te County of San Diego describes
the campground as “Potrero Regional Park, 45 miles east of San Diego, is in a broad valley dotted by coastal live oaks. Its grassy meadow and rocky hillsides provide quiet solitude for hikers and campers, and picnickers will enjoy the shade of hundred- year-old oak trees. Te park is well suited for year round recreation. Te
average summer high is 90°F and the average winter low is 34°F. At an elevation of 2300 feet, the valley can receive occasional light snowfall in the winter.” We have been here in all weather, sunny bright warm aſternoons, pouring rain, ice on the puddles at first light and yes, even a bit of snow. Te park is tucked into a spacious,
live-oak-covered corner of Potrero Valley, near the village of Potrero — east of the Tecate turnoff (only 10 minutes away) and west of Campo (a 20 minute drive). Te twisting but scenic drive - a real favourite
