1 night at Boulder Gardens Sanctuary

I loved camping at the boulder garden sanctuary, coming here is always a restorative experience and I’ve never seen anything else quite like it. This place is perfect for nature enthusiasts, art lovers, and anyone looking to camp/spend some time somewhere beautiful and remote. The hosts here are very welcoming, the art installations are captivating, and the views incredible. This stop is a must if you’re traveling by!

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

What a lovely spot! There are so many trails and multiple gorgeous views. The individual spaces were very large and varied from shaded to sunny, from remove, to nearer to others. Having the goats run around freely was just so much fun to watch. Every employee we encountered was helpful and really friendly. The bathrooms were always clean and well stocked. I never used the showers, but they looked clean and private enough for being outside. I can't wait to go back. If there was on less than perfect thing to mention, it was that the shop had no ice. It was advertised that they sell ice. Because it was Sunday afternoon, maybe they sold out as people so many people were leaving/checking out. Other than that, absolutely glorious!!

Wonderful property. Camped with a group of 7 women under the old oak tree. Benjamin was a fabulous host and we enjoyed the goats and llama. We will be back with more Butterfly Tribe—women who camp.

I can't rave enough about this place. It was breathtakingly beautiful. We stayed at the Oak community camp and it was amazing, there were goats and a lama that wander around and we also saw a quail with her chicks. The staff went above and beyond for us and bathrooms are spotless, it was so nice to have a hot shower available. We will definitely be back.

I took my nearly-4-year-old boy on his first ever real camping trip here. We had a great time. Two days is just about perfect. This is a good "beginner" camp site. I recommend finding a spot in the shade - we stayed in the Oak Grove. Nice hiking for a toddler, a nice camp store, and nice staff. Lots of goats and an alpaca wandering around. A+. My main "suggestions" would be to increase the water pressure in the bathrooms, increase the refill rate in the toilets, and ensure the hot shower is hot. But these are minor - again, overall this was a great place to camp and we definitely enjoyed ourselves! The owner has done a lot to put little "easter eggs" around the property to make it exciting and fun to walk around with a toddler. Also it's a quick 15 minute ride into town in case you need more ice or anything! I would definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Took my boyfriend and my two boys out to T-Rex Creek and it was on its own path, fit our family of four just nicely and was a beautiful spot with the added table, chairs, and firepit! We rented the bell tent and had the children take the cots that were included. The camp store was great, thanks Lyla (hope I didnt spell it wrong)! The observation deck nearby gave a real beautiful site! The bathroom was very nice! Our spot was shady, a big rock to climb on, and was a lot of fun hiking around. We saw the properties very friendly goats, friendly barn cats, one of two Great Pyrenees and Alpaca, saw them during the animal encounter and my boys were so happy to have that one on one hour with them. Rick and Susanna were so kind showing us around! My boyfriend even saw a pack of coyotes walking down our path during the night. The only thing that was mildly irritating, NOT due to the property or the owner, but the campsite that is located next to the camp store about 200 ft from us. Unfortunately they were loud until 3am playing music and their older kids were running close to our campsite screaming and yelling so we didn't get much sleep. However, we would still love to go back. Either back to T-Rex Creek or to try another site maybe further away. It was a real fun time.

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

We had an amazing experience at Redtail Rock! The views overlooking the valley were absolutely beautiful — both sunset and sunrise were breathtaking — and the stars at night were stunning. We loved the surprise encounters with the goats, alpacas, and the friendly dogs roaming the property, which made the trip extra memorable. The host was kind and welcoming. There were some animal droppings around the site, but nothing unexpected given the open nature of the property. There were rocks to climb and plenty of space for the kids to explore and play. Just a heads-up for larger groups: the site came with a small table and a few chairs, which wouldn’t be enough on its own for a big group (we were 15), but we brought extra tables and chairs and it worked out perfectly. We’d definitely come back — such a special place!

Beautiful views and privacy. Camp store was awesome and would go back to see Whiskey the cat. Showers and nice bathroom great after a day at the river.

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Great exploring around the grounds. This place is an excellent alternative to the standard state campgrounds and yellow posts sites out there. Close but feels far.

2 nights at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Everytime we come to Split Rock we enjoy a really relaxing time birdwatching, hiking, bike riding and eating fire roasted meals. There are flushing toilets and hot showers. I hope everyone enjoys this place and cleans up after themselves so we can enjoy it for many years to come. Thank you Ben!

1 night at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

We loved all of the interactions with the animals! My girls (ages 7 and 9) had a great time with the goats, alpaca, dogs, pigs! We added in the animal encounter experience because we weren't sure we were going to see any animal otherwise and it was a great upgrade because we also were able to visit and learn about the chickens!

1 night at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Goat heaven...the camp was fantastic for humans as well. Our son loved the goats, pig and llama! We played hide and seek in the rocks with the goats and even had a hot shower. They have put lots of love into this place and even had loads of special details (like organic treats at the camp shop!). Couldn't have been happier!!!

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

We had an amazing time at the campground! Walking alongside the goats, campfire, great views, good customer service… 100% recommend!

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

I can't speak highly enough, everyone at every age thoroughly enjoyed the stay, the land and especially the animals. Can't wait to come back!!!

3 nights at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

What a wonderful hidden gem of San Diego. Everyone loved the property the hosts and mostly the animals that frequent your camp. Can't wait to visit again!

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Such a beautiful place. I’ve only been gone a couple days and I already miss it. If you’re into camping for the connection with nature, it can’t be beat. Miles of places to hike, my daughters and I walked for an hour and a half with 30 goats and an alpaca who were following us around. It is a bit rustic. You might have to walk 10 minutes or jump in your car for a flush toilet, and our site didn’t have any electricity, but it depends what you value in a camping experience. And for me the beautiful views, huge boulders, random pig walking through my campsite in the morning while I was making my coffee, just simply can’t be beat by any other place I’ve seen. I really love it and will be back as often as possible. Also, the staff are amazing and welcoming.

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.
