Our family "go to" for Mexican food. Try the Jose's special burrito which will feed 2+ people. We actually have a club for those who finish it by themselves...if you do, write it in our Camp Journal.

Fast, quick and convenient to Base Camp. This is definitely a drive through option at 2 am place because it is open 24 hours. A local favorite, no frills, just, " need some rolled tacos" kind of place.

Traditional and authentic Thai food but not the fastest service. If you have time, this is well worth the trip.

Downtown Vista is a great place to hang out. Great brewery and the best pizza with what locals call, "That really great salad."

This is run by a group of people who live and work in a communal society. Their food is healthy, delicious but you better have time to wait... nobody is in a hurry. They keep late hours too. A must visit if you have time.

A local favorite for Fish and Chips. Their battered shrimp is amazing and the view from the tables outside makes this place a must for your So Cal experience.

A few blocks to the beach but parking can be a hassle. All the young people we know don't seem to care and drive all the way down there because they love the coffee....and its cool.

Donuts should not be this decadent. Local stop here on date night. It is an excursion and not your corner donut shop. Carlsbad Village is a great place to hang out and you should start your day here.

This is a great place to hang out, especially in the morning. Great places to eat, get a donut at the goods or try out one of the cute coffee places then take a walk along the beach. You can't go wrong.

Downtown Vista off of Vista Village Drive has some great restaurants, breweries, wineries and funky charm. Take in a movie or get some great pizza at Urbn... if its really late, hit the Yellow Deli for some Matcha.

A bit of a drive but worth the effort. Great hiking and beautiful scenery.
Animals in their own habitat looking at you as you tram it around their space. Go early. It can get hot. You will still do a ton of walking so plan for that.

It is an hour-is drive away, but just about everyone here in north county San Diego has no problem doing this as a day trip. Heck..you are this close. Go see Mickey.

城市觀光建議
周邊交通資訊
The train station is one mile from Basecamp.
Take the train west all the way to the Oceanside. Hang out there or hop on another one to explore more coastal cities from San Diego to Los Angeles. It also stops in Anaheim not too far from Disney.
攜帶物品
Believe it or not, it does get cold here at night.
Pack a light jacket for summer and fall nights and a heavier one for winter and spring.
不容錯過
The best thing about Basecamp.
You can get to anywhere from Base Camp. You can watch the sunset from the ocean, watch the elephants at the zoo or the whales at sea world. We are just a drive away from the mountains and Disneyland. If you like beer, we are a hub for local small breweries. The possibilities are endless.
