San Diego Canyon Creek

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents1 acre · El Cajon, CA

Try out camping without having to rough-it! Or swing through for a safe place to spend the night in your van, or tent, while taking advantage of San Diego and all it has to offer! Within 30 miles or so, you can plan a visit to the Zoo, Museums, Sea World, Scripps Aquarium, Safari Park, the beaches, mountain lakes or deserts nearby! San Diego Canyon Creek is a small patch of woods, near a road, in a neighborhood. We are surrounded by rocky peaks, with a creek that most often runs year round! We have multiple species of song birds, owls, hawks, and other wildlife that live in this Riparian Habitat, with a chorus of frogs throughout the summer nights. It's a very short walk to the neighborhood park- equipped with several types of playground equipment and public creek access, or a five minute drive to a Crestridge Ecological Preserve containing multiple trails. If you'd like to hang out on the property, we offer a table and chairs with each campsite to lounge in while enjoying the fresh air and nature. There are also a couple of hammocks available. In addition, our SHARED amenities include an outdoor kitchen with a double sink with hot water, mini fridge, coffee maker, a two burner stove, a griddle, a toaster oven, blender, tea kettle, and a few plates, bowls, cups, and utensils. Also here to SHARE is a Propane fire pit and BBQ area. The bathroom now includes a flush toilet, sink and shower. We are continuously making improvements. Fun Fact: Harbison Canyon was named after John Stewart Harbison - aka the King of the Bee Keepers. He arrived with over one hundred colonies of bees in 1874 and within 7 years he became the world's largest honey producer! Today there are just a few bees in the area.

Soul Fungi Ramona Ranch

1 site · Lodging9 acres · Ramona, CA

The RV has an amazing view of the surrounding valleys and hills. There is a hill to walk with an even better view and boulders to sit on. The RV is in a fenced in area that is private with it's own separate entry. There is a cold water outdoor plunge tank, cornhole, picnic table and beautiful sunsets. Thursday nights in Ramona are amazing - there is live music at the local organic grocery store and just across the street a bar has trivia night. Also, there is line dancing and bands at a local spot called "The Barn." There is an incredible 25 minute drive to Julian where you pass the camel dairy, Trumpers Honey Shack, Julian Hard Cidery, Calico Cidery (organic dry and amazing), and then Julian itself. It is one of the most incredible secrets I have ever run across in the county of San Diego (in which I have lived to almost 20 years).
