Outstanding experience, must do in Sunny San Diego What an amazing experience...rock crawling through the mountains with and extremely humble and kind guide, Jeremy. We were a family of four...2 kids under 12 and just had the best experience ever in San Diego. Great views all the way around and you learn a few new skills. Wonderful trip through the mountains....will be doing it again for sure on our next trip to San Diego.

Awesome and totally worth the money!! I chose the advanced tour. In that tour you go over a section that only one car can do at once. You are shown the line to take and directed through it. It was a lot of fun. The rigs they use are very capable.

Great trip! The trip was great and Jeremy was a very good host. The trails were perfect for our novice skills and the scenic views were awesome. The off toad trails were well kept and the entire outing was fun to do with the entire family. If you are looking for something different to do while in San Diego, we definitely recommend going on an outing with CampDads. …

What an adventure!!!! Omgosh what an awesome time we had!!!! I can not say enough good about Jeremy, the owner/tour guide) and this adventure! We had a blast trail riding in the fun jeep Jeremy had waiting on us! The trails were crazy fun..... we had never driven on trails like these before. After an afternoon of riding, Jeremy had our campsite ready and waiting for us..... complete with campfire, chairs, delicious chips and salsa and guac and beer and margaritas! Jeremy prepared tri tip tacos over the campfire for our dinner which was sooooo good!!!!! We enjoyed the campfire and looking out at the incredible view overlooking Mexico. The next morning we enjoyed early morning freshly brewed coffee and was offered breakfast burritos which we declined because we rarely eat breakfast. We then hit the road for more trail riding before being dropped off at our hotel. Our off road adventure with Jeremy was the highlight of our visit to San Diego!!!! : )

Fun 4x4 Experience near San Diego We had an incredible experience. I was looking for some activities on a trip to San Diego. Most things were shut down due to COVID but the 4x4 experience was still open. What I thought might just be a day killer, turned into one of the coolest things I’ve done. Our guide, Jeremy, showed us all the best spots in the desert and we were able to cut loose in his Jeep. He also guided us through a cave and a mountain hike. It was my brother-in-law, me, and our 3 kids (6,9,11) and a great time was had by all.
