Dos Picos County Park is located in Ramona. Its name, which means
"two peaks" in Spanish, comes from the two large mountains
nearby. The park's surrounding ranchland and steep, rocky slopes help
keep its peaceful and quiet atmosphere.
You can come
for the day, but you’ll want to stay for the weekend. This quiet park
is perfect for camping and has many options, like sites with partial
hook-up, tent spots, ADA-accessible cabins, a youth group area and
coin-operated showers. The park also has picnic tables, horseshoe
pits, soccer fields, a covered pavilion, and restrooms. Fishing at the
nearby lake is also popular. Dos Picos is a great place for weddings
and special events.
Dos Picos is home to many plants and animals. The park has a mix of
chaparral, open grasslands, and oak trees, which help support the
wildlife. Coast live oaks are common, and Engelmann oaks can also be
found there.
Coyote, fox, possum, skunk, and raccoon
are all seen in the park. Look up to the sky to view birds like great
blue herons, egrets, ducks, red-shouldered hawks, woodpeckers and
western bluebirds. California quail are afoot in the early mornings,
while the evening skies are filled with the sounds of resident barn,
screech and great horned owls.
