Welcome to Pinecrest

Pinecrest, tucked into a tree-shaded canyon high in the Cuyamaca Mountains an hour’s drive from downtown San Diego, is the wooded homeland of nearly 100 vintage travel trailers and motorhomes. Call it a yacht club for RVs, where owners have permanent spaces to park their rigs and set up for outdoor living. You can spend as much or as little time as you want with your RV. You can entertain friends and family, cocoon yourself with a book, even meet some new friends who love old trailers as much as you do.

A walk along the wooded paths of Pinecrest reveals the long and colorful history of trailering going back to the 1930s when the first streamlined “land yachts” moved onto the nation’s highways. You’ll find elegant Airstreams that may have traveled to Africa with Wally Byam, a silver streamline Prairie Schooner affectionally dubbed the “toaster” with porthole windows, tiny Teardrops and mini Fans, where whole families snuggled in Midcentury. Many trailers are under renovation, loving projects of a growing group of vintage trailer owners and enthusiasts, who love to share ideas and suggestions for sources of parts and materials.

Sharing ideas and telling tall tales, pot-luck dinners, stopping by to say hello, or just exchanging songs around the campfire... it's all part of the Pinecrest Resort experience.

Availability of sites varies, so please call the park to learn more and plan a visit. Managers Sydney and Richard Fox can be reached at (760) 765-0464.
