24mi from Alpine · 3 sites · Lodging · Campo, CA🌠 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION — THE STARLIGHT OUTPOST
“A relic from another world, reborn in the desert.”
Welcome to The Starlight Outpost, where myth and comfort meet under an endless desert sky.
Tucked into the quiet landscape of Campo, California, about an hour east of San Diego, this glowing dome — known as The Relic — hums with a warmth all its own. Once rumored to be the site of mysterious lights and cow abductions, it’s now a serene escape for travelers, dreamers, and stargazers seeking beauty in the stillness.

🪩 ON THE PROPERTY
You don’t have to leave the Outpost to feel transported.
Inside the geodesic dome, you’ll find retro-futurist décor, soft lighting, and cozy bedding — designed to make the space feel both nostalgic and otherworldly.
The entire property is set to a curated soundtrack — ambient desert tunes and ethereal music that fill the space with atmosphere.
When the stars rise, you can cue up a movie playlist that matches the mood — classic sci-fi, cosmic documentaries, or desert-inspired films.
Whether you’re roasting marshmallows by the firepit or curled up inside, the experience feels cinematic — like you’ve stepped into your own story.
It’s part art installation, part stargazing sanctuary.
