Established in 1987, the Campo Substation serves an unincorporated area of nearly 300 square miles with a population of approximately 2,000 persons.  The area includes the San Diego backcountry communities of Campo, Potrero, Tecate and Dulzura. 

 

Campo is known as the home of the former Camp Lockett, the last camp the U.S. Army built specifically for horse cavalry units.  After Camp Lockett closed, the camp was renamed Camp Mitchell and used as an Army recuperation hospital and World War II prisoner-of-war camp for Italian prisoners.  Other popular historical sites include the Gaskill Stone Store and the San Diego Railroad Museum. Visitors enjoy the rural landscape while visiting such local historical sites.
