What the ratings say
Numbers don't tell the whole story, but they point you somewhere. Public Storage on the list pulls a 4.9 from 548 reviews, and another Public Storage location has a 4.7 from over a thousand. StaxUP Storage sits at 4.8 with 176 reviews. Smaller operations like Double R RV and Boat Storage and El Cajon RV & Boat Storage hold 5.0 and 4.9, though with fewer than 20 reviews each. Those smaller spots often mean a tighter, more personal operation. Read a few reviews yourself and look for comments about gate condition, lighting, and how easy the manager is to reach.
Features worth checking
Not every yard has the same setup. Some list gated entry, cameras, and lights. Others add boat storage if you have a trailer or a skiff. Three facilities here offer 24/7 gate access, so ask about the actual hours before you commit. If you plan to arrive after dark in winter, lighting matters more than you think. Cameras are nice, but a well-lit aisle and a gate that closes properly do more for security. Take a walk through the lot before signing anything and see how the pavement drains after rain.
El Cajon conditions
This part of San Diego County gets hot and sunny, and UV does a number on tires, decals, and gel coat. A covered spot costs more, but it protects your investment. If you park outside, consider tire covers and a roof treatment. Hail is rare but not unheard of, so a cover helps there too. Winterizing is less urgent than in colder states, but batteries still need a maintainer if the rig sits for weeks. Check with your insurance agent about storage coverage, and confirm whether the facility requires proof of insurance before you move in.
