Palomar Mountain State Park

PICNICKING

Silvercrest Picnic Area, near park headquarters, has wood stoves, piped drinking water and restrooms. Day-use hours are 8:00 a.m. to sunset. Please note that only cash and checks are accepted for the day use entrance fee.

Due to the threat of the Goldspotted Oak Borer spreading throughout San Diego County, no oak firewood will be allowed into Palomar Mountain State Park. To find out more about this pest, please go to http://groups.ucanr.org/GSOB/index.cfm

Gathering of dead wood or other plant material is not permitted. Wood can be purchased at the park or you can bring other species of firewood, such as pine or eucalyptus.
