Relax and enjoy the sunsets and feel miles away from the city but yet still be in San Diego county. Only a 30 min drive to Rancho San Diego, Tecate, Chula Vista, and less than an hour from the Beaches. Fair climate year round. Wildlife includes Quail, coyote, bobcats, hawks. No bathroom ammetities at this time but there is an out door non private shower. There is a firepit and some chairs to relax in. Private brushed walking hiking trails. Gated access for a sense of security. Across the street there is a popular Winery open on the Weekends and a Taco stand with tacos cooked over an Oak fire open, Friday Saturday and Sundays. An open range shooting range is just up the road. The road getting to the property is paved but the land is not paved so if you are a pavemnt princess this is not the spot for you. If your up for a better view and have a 4x4 the top of the mountian has a supreme location with a great view. Great location for star gazing.

Weekend Trip to Stone Meadow Ranch In Wynola

Loved the stay at stone meadow. Idyllic spot, the giant oak tree alone makes it special. An owl came out just at sunset and perched on a tree near by. Dogs enjoyed sniffing and running around. Would definitely stay here again, might come back to climb Volcan or to check out Wynola which is only a 20 min walk.

We had such a great time camping at Stephen’s Stone Meadow Ranch site! It was the perfect spot to enjoy with the pups! Cory and Jess were amazing when we arrived! And we found the spot to be plenty private for our family’s weekend getaway! Well definitely recommend and return!
