The Southwest Kayak Symposium will be held at Campland on the Bay, on Mission Bay in San Diego. This excellent facility offers comfortable camping for tents and RVs at very reasonable rates. Booking in advance with your registration saves you even more! We look forward to creating a festive environment all day long and even locals may want to stay! "Campland" is far from primitive and you can enjoy hot showers and laundry facilities among the amenities.

Camping: Special rates are available if booked in advance for both Friday and Saturday nights. Tent or RV sites are available for $100 for the two nights for up to 4 people, with parking for 2 cars. If you plan on staying only one night, please book directly with Campland. Additional people are $5/night. Dogs are $3/night. Additional cars may be parked in a nearby lot for $10/night. To get the best rates for camping, please register with us, not Campland. Site preferences are given to symposium volunteers and those taking at least one class. If you would like to stay additional nights, please call (619)523-9577. Some participants choose to arrive on Thursday and others stay Sunday night. Some people choose to book their campsite through Sunday night to avoid having to pack up and move their vehicles on Sunday morning (Note that you MUST vacate your site by noon on Sunday unless you've paid for it Sunday night. You can park in the main lot, but not in ANY campsite!) Please visit www.campland.com to read about park regulations.

If you prefer a hotel, there are many to choose from within a 20 minute drive. You are almost certain to find your favorite national chain on "Hotel Circle" just off I-8. Any hotel near Mission Bay, Mission Beach, or Pacific Beach will be 10-15 minutes away. Hotels downtown are about 25 minutes away. There are so many choices, we recommend a internet search - excellent bargains can be had on some of the specialty travel websites.
