Dixon Lake is open year-round (closed Christmas Day). Gates open at 6:00 a.m. daily; closing hours vary by season. Contact the Park Ranger office at 760-839-4680 for further information. No pets are allowed at this facility. If you want a relaxing experience, join us at the Lake during the week and enjoy less crowds and a slower pace. We still have all the amenities (boat rentals, concessions and camping) but the feeling is a little more laid back. Parking is free during the week. There is a $5.00 parking fee per vehicle on Saturday, Sunday and all major holidays (including Veteran's Day, Friday, November 11th) and special events. No alcohol and no glass containers please.
