4 nights at San Diego Canyon Creek

I enjoyed my recent stay at Honeycomb cabin. Being right next to the creek was wonderful, and falling asleep to the sound of the frogs each night was so peaceful. It was exactly the kind of getaway I needed to decompress and relax away from the usual hustle and bustle. I also really appreciated having the outdoor kitchen, which was well-equipped for cooking my own meals. Laura is such a great host! Communication was excellent and just the right amount.

1 night at San Diego Canyon Creek

I really enjoyed my time here! The cabin was so cozy, the sound of the creek was nice, and walks around the neighborhood are very pretty. Laura is a very responsive and great host, would highly recommend! Keep in mind that it is in a residential area so there is the sound of cars driving by:-)

4 nights at Rogue Farm

Was a wonderful place. Directions to site were perfect. Erin was so accessible via messaging for any questions. Big location for my large trailer. Table and chairs clean and even hookups. The little organic store is just dreamy really. Picked up eggs for breakfast! What a special place!!! Thanks so much for letting me stay!

1 night at San Diego Canyon Creek

Great dry camping, it was really nice to have hot showers and common kitchen area to wash dishes. The host was also very friendly and welcoming!

Weekend Trip to Loomerland

We loved the sweetest dogs we ever met and all the farm animals! The baby bunnies and goats were a special treat for our kids. The dogs did bark a lot through the night and you gotta be ok with the roosters and birds all waking in the early morning, but there is something pretty cool about living with all the animals that makes that part worth it. There are also many sites with lots of shade!!! That is a big bonus. Watch out for red ants and poison oak. Sean gave us a new campsite so just check to see if they can look over your campsite for these things before you arrive.

4 nights at Loomerland

Everything was so warm and welcoming! We had issues with our van he was so helpfu!l!

Weekend Trip to Loomerland

My son and I loved camping at Loomerland! The animals were such a delight to spend time with and the land is absolutely beautiful! Lots of fun things for the kids to do and the hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The outdoor kitchen was such a great addition to camping too! We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Loomerland

Our tent site was happy hilltop and had a great view, it’s a short walk down the hill to the animals and toilet, the walk back up is a little steep but not too hard. The bunnies were so cute with babies, cats, dogs, chickens, goats, sheep and pig are all amazing to keep the kids busy. Had a great time and will be back!

Weekend Trip to San Diego Canyon Creek

What a little gem Laura's place was. Close enough to everything bit far enough away. Beautiful surrounding and a symphony of frogs at night. My husband and our dogs fully enjoyed this little camping trip.

1 night at 2 The Rescue Animal Sanctuary

A lovely stay. The camper is well equipped and comfortable. However, you’re really coming for the animals and Ilana’s hospitality. We got to help feed all the animals at 4:30pm and snuggle with Thor, a gentle giant of a dog. A great quick trip! Highly recommend

Weekend Trip to Glamping in San Diego’s Backcountry

The entire camp site setup and the facilities were great. The site was beautifully set up—spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The tent was cozy and well-equipped, with a comfy bed, warm blankets, and even string lights that made the nights feel magical. We had a private fire pit, a sitting area for stargazing, and enough privacy to feel like we had the forest to ourselves.

Weekend Trip to Loomerland

We loved it Sean was extremely attentive to all his campers. The animals were the best part and they were all very friendly. Would definitely go back again perfect spot to relax and explore the grounds.

Weekend Trip to Sagewinds Farm High Desert camp

Beautiful land and views; great hiking adventures from camp and enjoyed host Ellen's green thumb sage fields and flowers and the two ponies. Such a great stay. Loved the boulder mountains - beautiful sunrise hikes!

1 night at San Diego Canyon Creek

Always a pleasure to stay at Laura's place. Very clean and quiet. She is a great host. The outdoor kitchen is great and the little creek makes it very idyllic. Much nicer and cheaper than most other camping spots in this area.

2 nights at San Diego Canyon Creek

Our family had such a special time here! We loved falling asleep to the sound of frogs and waking up to cook breakfast in the cozy outdoor kitchen. The location was perfect—close enough for a few days of surfing and a trip to Legoland, yet tucked away in peaceful nature. We have two autistic boys and a 1-year-old just starting to explore the world. This space was incredibly sensory-friendly and calming. The boys could splash, dig, climb, and explore at their own pace. Watching them catch crawlers in the creek while I read Frog and Toad Are Friends was unforgettable—they truly believed the book was written about this very place! Everything was clean, thoughtfully set up, and full of charm. Our toddler was relaxed and engaged the entire stay. It’s rare to find somewhere that feels so safe, enriching, and accommodating for our whole family. We can’t wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Loomerland

We stayed for a weekend and we had so much fun staying at the Warner’s Teepee! Our favorite parts of our stay: the dogs hanging with us (especially Willow), playing with the pig, watching the goats and chickens graze, and the peacocks walking right up to our site and hanging out with us. We loved walking around and having animals walk beside us. Sean and Ty were nice and made us feel welcome. The kitchen and outhouse definitely exceeded our expectations as well. Something to keep in mind when you’re out there, not at fault at all of the hosts, but we did notice a lot of ticks around. Given that we are out in nature, there’s not much to be done with that. But I would recommend not letting the dogs come into the tent no matter how cute they are. We also used Apple Maps getting to the site, and the address led us right to the correct place. (we were worried we were going in the wrong direction at first, but if you’re using Apple Maps you should be good!) Rory also was very knowledgeable and gave us a tour of the cat and bunny sanctuary. We 100% recommend this site for those who enjoy animals.
