The Spanish word potrero means “pasturing place”. Until the middle of the 19th century, the Potrero region was inhabited only by Kumemaay Indians, who found the area rich in their main food, the acorn. Much of this 115 acre park is shaded by 100 year old oak trees and is well suited for year round recreation. The Kumemaay operate the Golden Acorn Casino a short drive from Potrero off I-8 with free RV Parking. Gas, Diesel and Propane are readily available nearby. Access to Wifi can be found at the local Library, a 5 minute drive from the campground. The community of Potrero also has a Post Office and great General Store & Restaurant.
