The park sits on historic land with roots tracing back to 1843, when Mexican Governor Manuel Micheltorena granted a 28.39-acre tract to Apolinaria Lorenzana, known as “La Beata,” a woman dedicated to charity and religion. The property, originally known as Canada de Los Coches or “The Vale of the Hogs,” was once used for grazing by Mission San Diego’s livestock. Evidence of earlier Native American habitation, including metate holes and pottery shards, remains on the grounds. Today, the park blends this rich history with modern comforts, providing a welcoming atmosphere for RVers who value both nature and convenience.
