20mi from Mount Laguna · 1 site · Tent, RV
Relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Julian in the neighborhood of Wynola! Located conveniently just off the 78 for easy access but the space and quiet of being deep in the mountains. Tent camp in our meadow with room to roam and explore the natural rock features, big oaks and other flora and fauna of the area. We have two compost toilets avaliable for guests with water access.
Perfect location for enjoying all of the fun Julian has to offer:
🍎 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive through the Calico orchard to enjoy local wild fermented cider made from Julian apples, pears, quince and more.
🥑 Need to stock up on snacks? We’re just a few minutes drive from Patchwork Market farm stand with great local produce and vintage goods.
🍕🌮 Less than 10 minutes drive to all kinds of food options. Our favorites are Julian Beer Company & Quecho but ask for more recs!
🐴 Next door to a horse sanctuary, Hills of Gold Equine Sanctuary, where you can volunteer or book a private experience to get hands on with 6+ rescue horses.
🌲 So many trails to explore in the local Cuyamaca State Park or Santa Ysabell Nature Preserve. We recommend the Santa Ysabell East trail for a mellow hike through rolling meadow amongst lots of cows!

Quiet, peaceful spot on a large property near Julian. Pit toilet was available if needed - communicative and responsive host. Ground is a bit uneven and grassy. Cute orchards and cidery nearby.

Great place to car camp, definitely needed a rugged vehicle to get us there. Level ground with a great view, perfect for a rooftop tent or ground tent. Easy access to the state park for day hikes.

We had a great stay! It was wide open, dark skies and impossibly quiet. Andy was SO kind and very helpful. He even met us out at the spot and helped us arrange our tiny camper perfectly with his 4x4 ranger. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves desert camping 🩵

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.

It was quiet and well off the main road so we had plenty of privacy. No light pollution so the stars at night were fantastic! The owners checked in on us and made sure we had what we needed.

The owners were communicative, friendly and there to help if needed. It’s a remote piece of land, which is what we were looking for. There was a porta potty, fresh water container and open space enough to accommodate our party mixed with RVs & tent campers, group of about 30ish. It had rained recently so a small fire was allowed and the owners provided firewood. They are friendly and supportive.
Thanks for a memorable weekend

Our group has been coming to this area for the last 9 years and when our normal campsite fell through, BS Ranch to the rescue! There were over 40 of us, including kids and a couple dogs, so it was a bit of a production.
The hosts were super-accommodating on many fronts. It had rained the day prior, so they brought us wood to have a small fire at night, which provided for smores and a good camping feel. Also, their son had purchased a pink Hummer limo that looked to be 100ft long... he took the kids for a joy ride and let them blast some music with a kung-fu movie on. They have a couple of shepherd dogs that were super friendly, even to the visiting dogs. They would visit at night to ensure that no food had dropped and in the day they would hike up the mountain with the kids to ensure their safety - it was pretty cool.
The host called to let me know that the site was not all gussied up quite yet, but they were working on it - I appreciated that. It worked for us and we had a great time there, enjoying the beautiful night sky and some of the trails in the area.

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!
