Set in a broad valley midway between Tecate and the I-8 freeway, tiny Campo (pop. 1,102) has one main attraction, the San Diego Railroad Museum (Sat.–Sun. and holidays 9 am–5 pm; free; 619/595-3030), well-posted at the west end of town on Forest Gate Road. Along with an extensive outdoor collection of old locomotives and carriages, the museum offers rides (11 am and 2:30 pm; $10) on restored steam- and diesel-powered trains, including a 16-mile round trip through the surrounding countryside. Occasionally, the museum also offers all-day trips south to Tecate, Mexico.
