Doane Valley Campground

Nestled within the exquisite Cleveland National Forest, Doane Valley Campground features spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and is a hotspot for hiking with pets, camping and mountain biking. The camp sits amidst verdant coniferous forests popular for birdwatching and every trail ends in the area’s famous cascading waterfalls.

With deserts to the southeast and the sprawling Pacific ocean to the west, Doane Valley Campground offers fully furnished Swiss tents, trailers as well as luxurious RVs with minibars. The secluded campfire center is where everyone gathers in the evenings for live entertainment, grilled BBQ delicacies and chilled drinks. Doane Creek crosses the campground at a few sites within the desert valley where you can enjoy photography and picnics under shady pines, cedars and fir trees. The well-maintained park also has other water features like Doane Pond for families to enjoy trout fishing. One of the most rewarding experiences that Doane Valley Campground offers is the dynamic coastal vistas. Hikers often love to climb to the summit of Boucher Hill to enjoy outdoor activities and the mesmerizing scenery. A stone’s throw away from the campground is Palomar Observatory where you and your kids can enjoy bird watching and stargazing opportunities.
