This land has been a community gathering space for the Native's Ceremony and Healing Space for over a thousand years. Feast your eyes upon the Matates and traces of the people that once gathered here so long ago. Upon the mid 1800's we had a Settler named Nate Harrison find this to be the ideal space, and he set up homestead here, and lived an amazing full life. He was to become the first African American to aquire land here in San Diego County, and his homestead remains to this day; studied by archaeology students to this day. Sensitive habitat and magic lies within our gates, and we must approach the mountain as we would any sacred space; with RESPECT. We welcome you to enjoy Nate's land and inspire who you are deep inside your heart.

Beautiful Area
We had a great experience car camping here. The place was pretty easy to find, I would just recommend to try and make it there while it’s still light out. We did manage to get up the mountain as the sun was setting and the road was not as bad as I expected. We made it up without any trouble in a Tesla. The views in the morning were incredible and I loved getting to say hi to the horses and feed them some carrots! The host was very helpful and directed us to our campsite as soon as we got up there.

The Meth Smoker worker
Was my second time here for a reason! Loved being here until one of the workers brought a meth pipe into our campsite and blew smoke in our faces and caused huge fights to break out at midnight. We left once the sun came up. He put us in a very dangerous situation. I will never be back. Ever. There were no others workers on the site to help up or other campers. We called Vicki over and over with no answer. It was extremely scary.

Will be back!!
We had a great experience at the ranch! - Very private, the drive up is a bit windy and bumpy, but worth it for the views - Vicki was super nice, accommodating, and comuncative - Loved hanging out with the horses (but lots of horse doo doo) - Bathrooms were clean and had warm water - Sunset views were spectacular - Our tent site was very private, but some of the sites are pretty close together Will definitely be back!
