Winter bicycle camping in San Diego County
I suggest that during winter in San Diego you stay within the city when bicycle camping. Winter - whatever images that may evoke to those of you who don't live here - is
extremely mild in our fair city. It generally amounts to a little rain, nothing more. Some occasional flooding. But snow within the greater San Diego area is virtually unheard of.
Greatest weather in the country. Bar none.
To those unfamiliar with our little corner of the world, though, in wintertime San Diego's east county does indeed get snow. That fact may be amazing to some people who believe 100% of San Diego is 100% warm 100% of the time. Well, I'm afraid nothing is 100%.

The east county in the months preceding and following winter can get some pretty severe rainstorms, some nasty winds, it can get plenty cold. But in comparison to much of the rest of the country the nastiness is short-lived and soon things are once again serene and beautiful. Lovely little county we have here.
