Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve

Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve is a one-of-a-kind escape in East San Diego County — seven sparkling lakes surrounded by mature trees, with fishing, paddle boats, playgrounds, and a full-service campground. Unlike the coastal state beaches, Santee Lakes is a true recreation resort, making it one of the most relaxed and family-friendly places to camp in the region.

As an exclusive delivery partner at Santee Lakes, we know the preserve inside and out. We deliver your trailer, set it up, and have it ready before you arrive — so you can jump straight into vacation mode.

As the exclusive delivery vendor at Santee Lakes, we handle everything before you arrive.

Good to Know Before You Book

Here’s what makes Santee Lakes so easy: every site has full hookups, so there’s no dry camping and no worrying about conserving water or running a generator. Some of the best sites sit right on the lake, with the water just steps from your door. Because it’s a full recreation resort, you’ll also find conveniences you won’t get at the beaches — pools, a restaurant, and convenience-store services right on-site. One thing to keep in mind: East County summers can get very hot, but every trailer in our fleet comes with air conditioning to keep you cool and comfortable at night, so you can enjoy the lakes by day and sleep easy after dark.

Nearby Attractions

Santee Lakes is tucked into East San Diego County, close to Santee and El Cajon, with the Padre Dam Amphitheater right on-site for summer concerts.
