Pio Pico Thousand Trails – San Diego, CA Review

We created a YouTube video for those of you who do not wish to read.  The full blog post is located under the video.

This is our first review of a Thousand Trails Park. For those of you unfamiliar with Thousand Trails, it is the largest provider of RV resorts and campgrounds in North America. It has over 80 locations in 22 states and British Columbia, Canada.  We had the opportunity to stay at the Pio Pico resort in San Diego, CA.
