Santee Lakes is located in the heart of the east county just outside of San Diego, in the city of Santee. This beautiful, privately owned 194 acre park and 300 full hook-up Campground, surround seven scenic lakes. Our lakes are stocked year-round and there is no State license required, just a permit from our General Store. Cabins are available on the lakefront or on the water. Rent a pedal boat, rowboat or canoe and spend the day cruising around the islands. There are over 5 miles of trails for walking, running and biking and over 200 species of birds that call Santee Lakes home, for those bird watching enthusiasts. Rentable picnic sites and beautiful venues are available for your next event.
Santee Lakes Camping and Cabins
Santee Lakes has plenty of options for the perfect campsite. You can enjoy camping in our 300 site full hook-up campground or renting a Cabin along the waterfront or floating on the water. Whether you prefer a peaceful spot by the lake, a site by our meandering creek, or close to the fun and facilities that the Clubhouse has to offer; we have the variety that welcomes all interests! Did we mention that our facilities are 50% powered by the sun? Reduce your carbon footprint with us at Santee Lakes!
