3 nights at Hideout Mountain Lodge

I had the pleasure of discovering Hideout Mountain Lodge during a break between work assignments, and it turned out to be such a delightful getaway. I was impressed by the variety of accommodation options available, from camping spots to RV and cabin rentals, all with incredibly scenic views. Initially, I had planned to camp for my entire stay. However, the weather took an unexpected turn with cold temperatures and rain on my last night. The lodge staff were exceptionally kind and offered me a cabin at a discounted rate, which I truly appreciated. I'm already looking forward to a future visit to Hideout Mountain Lodge and hope to bring along some friends and/or family next time to share the experience.

1 night at Detour n De Luz Fallbrook San Diego

Relaxing and peaceful camping trip. Was greeted by Allie upon arriving which was pleasant. I locked myself out of my car and she offered to help me. Even though that happened I still had an amazing time! Thank you Allie!!

Weekend Trip to SoCal Campground

Quiet beautiful area near Murrieta. Really enjoyed our stay here. Having a renovated and clean bathroom was a really big plus. Had ample space to enjoy the privacy.

Weekend Trip to SoCal Campground

Great site!! In a beautiful location, host was responsive and super helpful, and we will definitely be staying there again

Weekend Trip to SoCal Campground

There’s something special about Fallbrook. There are a lot more trees there than most of the rest of Southern California. Which means lots of birds. You’re greeted by a chorus of them every morning when you wake up. I got a chance to meet the hosts and they are lovely couple. Putting this campsite together seems to be a labor of love for them. Clean bathrooms, warm showers, highly recommend!

2 nights at Cottonwood Creek Camp

This spot was perfect for our weekend getaway! It’s close to all the winery’s and 15 mins from lake Skinner. We loved bringing our dogs for the trip and were very satisfied overall with this location.

1 night at Magical Harrison Serenity Ranch

This hip camp truly was magical!! We had such a relaxing time during our stay. The views were insane and the camp hosts were very welcoming and informative. We were actually planning on only staying one night yet loved it so much we decided to stay for two! Definitely recommend :)

2 nights at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

If you Love animals, nature, quiet, stars, beautiful walks, kind staff don't look an further. I had the best time. I'm coming back to stay longer . Maybe even for life. ;) animals were so friendly, people there helped me so much. Please do go.

1 night at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Very cool view and peaceful. Bought s’mores stuff in the camp store. Enjoyed the fire and the stars. Quite a bit of artillery fire from the Marines in the distance but didn’t last all night. Hope to be back.

1 night at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

We stayed at camping with our family and were 100% satisfied! It’s a very peaceful and secluded spot, perfect for those looking to escape the city noise. The campsites are spacious, the grounds are well maintained, the views are beautiful, and the hosts are friendly and always available to help. In the evening, we enjoyed sitting by the fire, and at night — total silence and a sky full of stars. Everything is well thought out and comfortable. We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

My girlfriend and I did tent camping at Granite Gulch and it was lovely. The bathroom was much nicer than we expected. It was far too cold to shower but there were some! Everyone staying was so friendly and kind. There are a few cats and a big fluffy dog that made it feel like home when we were missing our pets! There were also goats, a llama, and a pig! Slight warning that it's a little difficult to sleep in due to the goats but it wasn't too bad. We heard a couple cars struggle to get over the bump in the dirt road by the campsite but my RAV did great. We fell in love with the area. So beautiful and green. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to King Creek Campground

Had an amazing time - sad we decided to leave a bit earlier because of the rain! Absolutely loved the campsite and recommend it 100%! Carlota and Richard were wonderful hosts and the property is like a little piece of heaven! We would definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to Magical Harrison Serenity Ranch

Vicki is so cool! She introduced us to the property and told us some interesting history about it. The property is beautiful and clean. Lots of privacy as well. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Magical Harrison Serenity Ranch

Beautiful views, very peaceful! Vicki was a very kind host and shared some of the amazing history behind the land we were fortunate enough to visit. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Magical Harrison Serenity Ranch

Beautiful quiet spot to camp. Host is friendly and accommodating. Beautiful view. Definitely will be visiting again in the near future.

Weekend Trip to Wild Seeds Ranch

Beautiful, and lush ranchland, my family and I enjoyed emerging ourselves in nature but still having plenty of amenities. Those living on the property were at close proximity to our tent, but we still felt like we had privacy. Even when running into someone they were friendly and we loved getting to know a few of them!

Weekend Trip to Magical Harrison Serenity Ranch

Such a lovely place! The host is super nice, and there are the cutest dogs and little pigs running around. The campsites are spacious, private, and you can even have a campfire! It’s beginner-friendly too — perfect for a chill getaway. This was our second time here and we loved it just as much. Plus, the starry night sky is magical!

Weekend Trip to San Diego Canyon Creek

Great place to camp! The frogs sang most of the night. The kitchen is well organized and provides most things we needed. Laura was friendly and responded quickly.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

I had an amazing stay at this campground and will definitely be coming back! The site was incredibly clean and peaceful—exactly what I was looking for. The toilet was well-maintained, and although the hot water heater for the outdoor shower wasn’t working during my stay, I still enjoyed a brisk navy shower. There’s something refreshing about showering outdoors, and I actually loved it. The view from the top of the site was stunning, with a sweeping overlook of the valley that made mornings and sunsets extra special. At night, the distant sound of cows mooing added a unique and calming touch to the experience—felt totally immersed in nature. There were some really thoughtful touches around the campground too, like string lights, a cozy hammock, and a tire swing that gave the place a fun, homey vibe. I do wish they sold firewood bundles down at the saloon—it would’ve made campfires easier to plan. But other than that, the site had everything I needed. The shade here is also perfect, and I imagine it would be ideal for summer camping. Can’t wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Great views, very clean, we just leave and want to go back! Thanks!!

Splitrock Farm and Retreat

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.

Mild seasonal temperature swings, fresh air, clear evening skies for star gazing, the property is in a valley surrounded by the Cleveland National Forest and it was formally used as a 1950's Boys Scouts of America campsite. Our Mom purchased the family property over 40 years ago, and my siblings and I grew-up with weekend trips exploring and camping on the property.

Our family's wish is to share our little bit of heaven on earth property with others who will love it as we do. We are happy to share more about the history of the more than 100 acres when you come up to the property for your next camping adventure. Our property is located in Descanso, California. Descanso is located east of Alpine and west of Pine Valley.

It gets very cold at night but the star filled skies are breathtaking. This time during our stay we had 3 kitty visitors and 3 dogs that rolled up to our camp multiple times, it felt like they were checking up on us. It was so cute. The sweet Aussie poked his head in our tent to say "you good?" haha It was so cute and they were extremely friendly and social! The black kitten stayed at our camp all night and cuddled on our laps by the fire. It was such a lovely experience. TJ and her crew have done an amazing job with this place, I don't have enough words to explain. Just see for yourself! You'll love it!! Can't wait to visit again!"

RV camping near San Diego guide

Overview

Whether you’re driving down from Los Angeles, over from Arizona, or up from Mexico, when you pull into San Diego, relaxation takes over. Beloved for its year-round (mostly) perfect weather—beware of the May and June marine layer—San Diego has enough to do to keep your RV parked for weeks. Silver Strand State Beach is bordered by both the ocean and San Diego Bay and offers swimming, surfing, and boating, while Torrey Pines State Beach stretches below a clifftop nature preserve with hiking trails. Check out Balboa Park for museums, gardens, and the San Diego Zoo, or Mission Bay for standup paddleboarding and kitesurfing. Cabrillo National Monument has a short hiking trail and expansive ocean views. In La Jolla, go kayaking and look for marine life along the rocky shore. Waterfront RV parks on the bays fill up quickly, so book well in advance or look a little bit inland to find available spots.
