Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Hooper Hollow is a secluded ranch just on the outskirts of San Diego County. Here you will find rolling Hills, towering oak trees, seasonal waterfalls and seemingly endless wilderness throughout the property and the neighboring trails of Hollenbeck Canyon. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the country and sounds of nature. Feel free to ask about our newest addition “The Hobbit House” tiny home mountain retreat!!! Site #1 is the largest camp site at Hooper Hollow (100’ x 200’) and will accommodate larger groups of people up to 20! Site 1 will accommodate small RV’s and van campers as well as tent campers (high clearance only). Guests can park at the camp site to set up camp. There is a patio table, chairs, fire pit and BBQ provided. Site #2 is more of a minimalist/ natural Tent campsite. Site 2 is best suited for smaller groups up to 6. Campers must hike their gear 100 yards up a (easy),groomed trail to campsite on hill top. No fires or charcoal BBQ’s are permitted at site 2 due to its close proximity to wilderness. Small gas grill or gas fire pit is ok durning winter months. Site #3 is a large flat area (20 x 50) that over looks the ranch and adjacent valley. Site 3 will accommodate small RV’s and van campers (high clearance only) as well as tent campers up to 6 people.  Guests can park at the camp site to set up camp. There is a fire pit and BBQ provided. Site 4 is a “Horse camping site” inclusive of (4)12 x 24 stalls with shade, and water available. There is also plenty of room for a living quarters trailer (up to 30ft) and/or tent camping.  There is access to an arena and some of the best trails around. No fires or charcoal BBQ’s are permitted at site 4 due to its close proximity to wilderness. Small gas grill or gas fire pit is ok durning winter months. If you have any specific questions regarding any of the camp sites feel free to reach out. We look forward to sharing our special place with you and your friends!Enjoy the lovely setting of this romantic spot in nature. Welcome to Hooper Hollow, a 10 acre ranch nestled in the hills of Jamul, CA. Where you can enjoy the rustic beauty of nature while hiking, biking, or riding a horse! Or just sit back and take in the views from our Lotus Belle Tent. This campsite is very primitive. Although you can sleep comfortably inside the tent on the queen size mattress, be ready to be engulfed in nature! The outhouse is a short walk from the tent, near where you’ll park your car. There is no shower or running water up by the tent. There is a hose with well water right next to the outhouse. We do not allow any open fires due to the close proximity to the wildlife preserve. This site has a beautiful view of Hollenbeck canyon and Otay Mountain. You have direct access to hiking and biking trails.

Solo camping trip
I had a great time tent camping at Julia's property! Her and her husband were great hosts and the site was incredible. The view was great and I really enjoyed having such a large, covered picnic table to use. Julia was very communicative and responsive. Would love to stay here again next time I'm in the area.

Julia was lovely. She met us at the gate and walked us to our site to make sure we felt at home. Pointed out a good trail for us as well.

Stayed one night at campsite 3 which, included access to water, and a charcoal grill that we did not use. Christopher also provided a portable table to use. Nice view of the mountains, and easy access to nearby trails. Peaceful, quiet night's sleep - no loud farm animals, and could ever so faintly hear a dog barking very, very far away, but only for a short time.

Our group had an awesome time at hooper hallow with Christopher as host. The land was gorgeous and had amazing views, and the actual camping site was in excellent condition. There’s a huge nature reserve nearby with some outstanding hiking trails as well. It’s a great mix of seclusion and still being close to downtown SD. 10/10 would stay again.
