Location and Current Use
Camp Callan was located near U.S. Highway 101 about 15 miles (24 km) north of downtown San Diego in the La Jolla area. It occupied a roughly rectangular piece of land approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) north-to-south and 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east-to-west. This land is on the Torrey Pines Mesa and is near the Pacific Ocean. The northern portion of the former base is today the Torrey Pines Golf Course and the Torrey Pines State Reserve. The southeastern portion of the former base is now part of the University of California, San Diego campus. The rest of the southern portion of the former base includes private land (both residential and commercial), the Scripps Green Hospital and research institutes such as the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. This portion of the former base is in the vicinity of present-day Genesee Avenue and North Torrey Pines Road.
