Weekend Trip to Rustic Wooded Ranch -Creekside Stay

If you're looking for the perfect escape from the city, I can't recommend Gemini Moon Ranch enough. This place is an absolute hidden gem! Originally built by the architect behind Old Town Temecula, it now thrives under the care of Tracy and Peter, the kindest, most welcoming hosts you’ll ever meet. You can bring your own tent or stay in one of their two incredibly unique, cozy rooms (each full of charm and character). From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping onto the set of an old western movie, complete with starry skies, peaceful mornings, and the sweetest animal crew (2 friendly dogs and 5 cats who might gently demand snacks 🐾). Whether you're into yoga, meditation, or just sitting still with a coffee in nature, this place delivers. It’s ideal for solo getaways, couple retreats, birthdays, or even a small wedding. Honestly, it’s a magical spot that leaves you feeling recharged and totally at peace."

2 nights at Rustic Wooded Ranch -Creekside Stay

Tent camping at Gemeni Moon Ranch was such a cool and unique experience. The 5 acre grounds is surrounded by beautiful trees and rustic architecture. Once you get to the grounds, It feels like you've been transported back in time to an old western movie. Tracy and her partner were amazing hosts and greeted us upon arrival with a tour of the entire property. Pets are welcome which was great because we got to bring our dog along for the adventure. There is an outdoor kitchen and bathrooms on site, as well as tables for eating and a cozy bonfire area. There is also a creek that runs through their property and you can hear the frogs singing at night which was awesome! I would highly recommend camping on their property. It was such a great way to spend a few days out of the city.

1 night at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Benjamin's property is a gem. I could have started for several days and not tired of the views. I arrived in the area close to o check in time, so I drove straight to the farm. I'd planned to head back out to explore and maybe eat dinner in town. I was glad that I had plenty of food and water with me, because I was happy to stay put once I picked out my camp spot. The road to the retreat is not at all difficult, even in my mid roof van. Still, I was happy to stay put for the afternoon and drive down the mountain in the morning.

1 night at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Great escape, will definitely return. exceptional directions and guide to get to site, the bathrooms were very clean and little to no trash, it was a great time

Weekend Trip to Bowen Ranch Deep Creek Hot Springs

We went in mid June and it was gorgeous! Still got pretty cold at night as you are practically in the desert so bring a good quilt or blankets. The hike to the hot springs is amazing with some cool views. I would say its a pretty easy hike for experienced hikers but medium to hard for beginners. Make sure to bring plenty of water, snacks, and extra bags - I saw trash along the hike and down at the hot springs which is so sad to see and ruins it for others - Overall, it was a beautiful spot and much cleaner than other hot springs I've been to. Leave it better!! Leave No Trace!!

Weekend Trip to Cross Bull Ranch/CBR

our host was very kind, let us pick our spot with any of the open ones. my Son and I had the best fathers day here camping……… hope to be back one day :)

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Such a cool spot! Beautiful views, friendly hosts and goats, clean, spacious.

Weekend Trip to Bowen Ranch Deep Creek Hot Springs

The spot we got was secluded. We got visited by the host's horses and it made our night! Definitely will come back again and have a dip in the hot spring!

Weekend Trip to Bowen Ranch Deep Creek Hot Springs

Friendly, spacious, flushing toilets, running water, firewood, food/snack stand, nice hike to the hot springs, and beautiful skies at night

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

The road leading up to this campground was absolutely stunning and beautiful. When we arrived, we were greeted by several goats and alpacas, which made us feel like we had stepped into a whole new world. We also got to meet the owner, who was incredibly kind. We bought some firewood from them and had a lovely chat, which made our stay even more comfortable. The showers had nice hot water, which was perfect for bathing our baby. And the gorgeous oak tree, along with the beautiful sunlight and scenery, created such a meaningful memory for us. I’m a bit worried that once more people find out about this place, it might become harder to book in the future, but I still want to leave a great review out of gratitude. This was my very first Hipcamp review, so thank you!

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

My family and I really enjoyed this location. To be honest, this was our first time camping and feel this was a beginner friendly location. We needed to go to the shop to purchase a few items. The staff was great. We appreciate that there was firewood and small propane tanks for our Coleman kitchen. We enjoyed the views and the goats we would definitely come again.

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

The goats and the alpaca were an amazing attraction for the kids, although could get a bit too much for the adults at times. The oak grove had flushing toilets, hoses, sinks and showers, clean behind our expectations.

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

I just love it there. I always have fun. I feel safe and Georgina is the best. I always look for her to say hi.

Weekend Trip to Bowen Ranch Deep Creek Hot Springs

The site was one of the coolest sites I’ve camped at in a long time. Lots of privacy and space between campers. We got all sorts of visitors from horses to pigs. Clean bathrooms and showers. The host were super friendly. I will definitely come back. The only drawback was the drive up was a little confusing. But the directions the host gave on point.

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Tent camping was great! Lots of space to roam and enjoy!

1 night at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

What an amazing spot! I loved my stay. It was unique, beautiful and felt far away but was only 45 mins (I’m in Oceanside). The goats were such a highlight!

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

There 21 of us. We had a fantastic time. People in charge are wonderful and i would recommend it for everyone. It's a beautiful place! We will be back.

1 night at The Green Ravine & Trails in SoCal

I like how it was hidden and private. Nice flat land to set up. They also have us firewood and brought up more firewood!

1 night at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Really nice place. Would definitely come back again. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Oak grove was really nice. The sites under the oaks are IMO much nicer to be in the shade. But other sites were good too, but imagine would be really hot in summer. We have a 26’ travel trailer, and it was mildly challenging on the roads leading in, if you are a trailer rookie, I wouldn’t recommend. A few people arrived, only to be told the ‘first come first serve’ site they had already set up in had been reserved... so had to move. Would suggest checking at the site office first. Goats and other animals were great for the kids.

About Splitrock Farm and Retreat Far Away, Close to Home For more information... Visit our website www.splitrock.camp Instagram page @splitrockfarmandretreat. Tag your photos #splitrockfarmandretreat #SplitrockFAR #farawayclosetohome Or, contact the Camp Host through Hipcamp direct message or the direct line 760-645-5431. Splitrock Farm and Retreat started in January 2021 after a global search of a place to set roots, live off the land, and create an amazing place for recreation, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Splitrock Farm Splitrock was part of a 160-acre avocado farm that prospered from 1970 to 2017, generating over 1million pounds of avocados per year until the previous owners switched off the water in 2017. Ben purchased 101 acres in 2021 with plans to harvest the dead avocado trees for firewood and replant with organic, sustainable crops such as grapes, citrus trees, and flowers. Splitrock's attraction comes from its unique groves, magnificent granite boulders, and sweeping vistas. Mixed within the avocado groves are several ancient groves and solitary trees that include 200 foot tall pines, hundreds of old oaks, and soaring palms. Freckled throughout the hillsides are thousands of humongous granite boulders, offering a prehistoric feel to the landscape. Above all, Splitrock offers unrivaled views. Over 40 miles of coastline includes views to Point Loma, the Carlsbad power station, and the Pendleton Hospital. To the northeast are views of near 11K foot snowy peaks of San Jacinto and San Gorgonio, with rolling hills of De Luz and Fallbrook in the foreground.
