Camp Minnewawa WWII Bunkers, San Diego, California
View Original Description
In 1942, with the country about a possible Japanese invasion, the army aquired 3570 acres of land and built a campsite known as Camp Minnewawa. It had concrete bunkers with coastal views to catch early attacks. This WWII bunker complex is along the Otay Mountain Truck Trail at around 3,000 ft on Otay Mountain, south of the peak which is at 3,300 ft.
The bunkers were used to house radar units and the diesel generators that gave them power.
By 1947, Camp Minnewawa was abandoned and returned to G.R. Daley where a private campsite was later built.
