"Large Marge" the hippy 44' bus
Go visit Large Marge!!
Large Marge was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Located about 10 minutes from Main St in Romona, Large Marge is the perfect camping getaway. I was solo camping for the first time and I felt completely safe and comfortable my entire stay. Temps got down to about 37 *F at night and it was cold but with warm PJs (a 2-3 layers) and about 5-6 warm blankets I was quite comfortable. Warming up by the fire pit before crawling into bed was also a great way to keep warm. The view of the stars, the BBQ, the roaming horses and doggos, the mini fridge, viewing deck, stereo, and groovy hosts were all awesome perks as well! I will say at night you may hear some critters but that’s all a part of being outdoors. Overall, the vibes here were immaculate and I would absolutely recommend it to others. I know Julian is about 20 minutes away but some other nearby points of interest are Lake Sutherland, Barona Casino, and Pete’s BBQ ;) I will also take this opportunity to plug Bisher’s Meats which was an awesome place to pick up a steak and stuffed mushrooms for the grill. Also, although this groovy school bus is stationary, you can still go on a trip. ;)
Best of luck travelers and seekers!

Funky and peaceful
Beautiful spot with a view of the west for great sunsets, just outside Ramona! Quiet and peaceful. Hosts were super friendly. Comfortable bus, but be aware in cooler months-- it is a bus, so bring cozy clothes. :-) loved our time!

I cannot say enough amazing things about the hosts and the space they have created for camping. The hosts are wonderful and incredibly friendly, the space is beautiful, relaxing, and full of cool lights and art pieces. I will 100% be back and I 100% recommend it to others.

Magical Bus Stay
I stayed with Grace for my anniversary and I could not recommend it more! Grace and her significant other welcomed us with open arms and shared their beautiful land with us. Big Marge (our bus home) was magical and gave us some really cherished memories. Sunset was breathtaking as well. Thank you and will be visiting again!

Grace was amazing. She was very responsive throughout the whole process. She met us at the private gate on time. She showed us around her beautiful 7 acre property. The site was beautiful and peaceful.

Highly recommmend
Great glamping experience. Hosts were gracious and lovely. Ranch animals were equally welcoming and fun. We had a great time.
