Cuyamaca Woods is an off-grid mountain community in eastern San Diego County. Established in 1967, it includes 226 properties and over 200 property owners.
We enjoy a quiet lifestyle here, marked by brilliant night skies full of stars, and sharing our land with wildlife such as deer, wild turkey, grey fox, bobcat, and yes, even mountain lions. Oak trees dominate, cedar and pine trees grow here, with areas of chaparral in between. It snows here in the winter and we experience hot, dry summers. Many properties enjoy ocean and channel island vistas -and San Diego coastal city lights shine in the distance - some 40 miles away! In late October, 2003 our community was devastated by the Cedar fire 51 out of 71 homes were destroyed, so afterwards we created the Cuyamaca Woods Fire Safe Council a 501c3 nonprofit, to educate about fire safety and evacuation, and to reduce risk to lives and property in the event of a future wildfire.

Preparedness Day Saturday, May 1, 2021 The Cuyamaca Woods Fire Safe Council will be providing two large roll off dumpsters for community use, and on Saturday, May 1, 2021 - FREE of charge for our CW property owners. One is to be located outside the Sandy Creek gate and the other outside of Poco Montana. We will also be operating a chipper located on Engineer’s Rd. near the Poco gate - bring your brush to be chipped for free! Get rid of that “stuff” surrounding your house that is a fire hazard: pallets, trash, pallets, old furniture and small appliances. The dumpster will be opened at 7AM and closed We gladly accept donations so we can continue to provide this program. |
