Answer 1

Lake Cuyamaca is the perfect place for you to go from San Diego, its only about an hour drive from downtown, much closer than Big Bear or Silverwood.  (Although Big Bear is super-nice).

Lake Cuyamaca is in the Cuyamaca mountains, near forest, and the lake is full of trout, bass, and other fish including sturgeon.

The campground is pretty, and there is a lot of other tent campers there.  There is a little store/bait shop nearby.  There is also a rustic, romantic restaurant on the other side of the lake from the campground.

There are no bears so you can store you food wherever you like.

The website is: www.lakecuyamaca.org, check it out.

Answer 2

Silverwood lake is really really nice. much funner and less crowded than big bear or anything in san diego.  

Answer 3

Big Bear Lake!! It's in the San Bernardino Mountains.
