Guajome
Regional Park
A San Diego County
Camping Park
Welcome to
Guajome Regional Park
G
uajome Regional Park is located in the
coastal community of Oceanside,
approximately eight miles from the Pacific
Ocean.
Whether you like to camp, picnic, hike,
fish, bike, nature watch or simply relax and
enjoy the day, this 394-acre park has a little
something for everyone.
7,000 square foot
Rancho Guajome
Adobe hacienda,
which is a mile to
the east of Guajome
Regional Park.
In the 1950s, then
owner Jerry Buteyn
established a prized
collection of birds
and other animals
on the property
and maintained a
small zoo. The lake
and marsh areas
were constructed to
enhance the appeal
of the estate. The tall palm trees and other
terraced areas are evidence of his work.
The County of San Diego purchased the land
in the 1970s to establish the present-day park.
Guajome Regional Park History
Guajome Regional Park Features
The first inhabitants of the park were
Native Americans, called the Luiseno by the
Franciscan Padres from the Mission San Luis
Rey. In 1845, before California became a
state, the land was granted to two Luiseno
brothers by the last governor of Mexican
California, Pio Pico.
Amenities in the park are highlighted by a
developed campground which offers 33
partial hook-ups sites with paved driveways,
fire rings, and tables. Hot showers, clean
restrooms, and a waste water dump station are
also part of the comforts in the campground.
The area transferred hands until it was gifted
to Ysidora Bandini de Couts as a wedding
present from her brother-in-law, Abel Sterns.
It was Ysidora’s husband, Cave Johnson
Couts Sr, who constructed the
There is an enclosed pavilion overlooking
the lake for group/caravan use, a very
comfortable reservable family cabin, and many
mature shade trees. Afternoon ocean breezes
keep the park pleasant year-round.
opportunities, a
basketball court,
soccer field, and
small rock climbing
formation are
found in the lower
picnic area.
Two day use areas offer playgrounds and lots
of green lawns ideal for a relaxing picnic.
The upper area also includes an outdoor
fitness area, amphitheater and volleyball and
horseshoe courts. For more recreational
Two ponds attract
a wide variety of
migratory birds and
serve as home to a
variety of fish that
will test the skills
of any angler. Shore
fishing is available
during park hours.
Guajome is one of
North County’s best
spots for bird watching; at least 186 species
have been seen within the park boundaries.
There are approximately 3.5 miles of
well-maintained trails that meander through
diverse Southern California habitats such as
woodlands, chaparral, wetlands, and mixed
grasslands. A short self-guided nature trail is
centrally located in the park as well. Hikers,
bikers, dogs on a leash and equestrians are all
welcome. For the tech inclined visitor the park
has a QR-Fit Trail System.
Local Points of Interest
The park is close to other entertaining and
historical points of interest such as the Rancho
Guajome Adobe, designated as a National
Historic Landmark in 1970 and the San
Luis Rey Mission, one of the 21 California
missions, which was founded in 1798.
Other historical adventures can be
experienced at the Antique Gas and Steam
Engine Museum, which preserves and
displays many examples of mechanical
ingenuity and home crafts associated
with the early days of the American farm
and industrial revolution era.
For those who want to explore beyond
the park’s recreational opportunities,
there is a bicycle trailhead just outside
of the park that extends through nearby
Oceanside, all the way to the coast.
Oceanside itself offers access to great
beaches, a pier, a fine harbor, shopping,
and restaurants.
