Find your inner calm. Quiet and beautiful 5 acre, mountain forest retreat with walking paths, seating areas, yoga platforms, swings, caves, boulders and a hammock. (Our neighbors had a rooster for a short time, but they moved it on!) Our sanctuary is more like a bed and breakfast, with touches of being in a warm home environment....an outdoor living room and kitchen.
Easily accessible to cliffside hiking, caves or / rock climbing and the beach. Close to the Lizard's Mouth recreational area that has acres of exquisite cliffside boulders overlooking the ocean. Close to the Playground Recreational hiking area. And close to the Chumash Painted Caves and the Santa Ynez River. Some folks like to go to Montecito to Cold Springs Hotsprings.
Tent camping, ( for a small fee, we have one if you don't). Room for a camping van.
We have a variety of games to choose from for the whole family. Kid friendly.
We have 2 friendly kitties and a small doggie.
Outdoor kitchen with grill, wash basin, outdoor shower, potable water, fire pit, electricity and wifi. Hot tub is available for a small charge. Spa upgrades such as massage are available.

Nestled along a spring fed creek in the beautiful mountains of Santa Barbara. Immerse yourself in the great outdoors while staying cozy in a Yurt, or one of our Geo Domes. Each is secluded with a hot shower, propane fire pit, camp kitchen (stove and sink ) please bring pots/ pans and all necessary cooking supplies, and a comfortable queen bed. Wake up to the sound of the birds chirping and the creek rippling. Hike to our very own 30' ft waterfall where you can take a dip, lay out and catch some sunshine. The trail is rugged so be ready to boulder and use your hands in some places. Our wood burning hot tub is freshly filled every time, and right along the creek for a natural hot/cold plunge experience. We also offer morning yoga, and relaxing massages for a fully rejuvenating experience.
We provide a list of things to explore off-site, but our on-site amenities include things like disc golf, corn hole, ping pong, puzzles in the yurts, books, and more!

We had a lovely time at Sanctuary Cielo. A peaceful setting with ample amenities. There are nice walking trails around the property that we enjoyed exploring with our two year old son. The campsite is in view of the house but there’s a privacy screen to keep things feeling private. Amber the host was warm and inviting but never intrusive. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something close to Santa Barbara!

We had such a great stay at Harmony’s Glamping! It’s incredible that you can feel completely tucked away in nature while being just 20 minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. The property is beautiful — surrounded by trees, with a creek running alongside the sites — and the yurts (we stayed in the Luxury Yurt + Creekside Fairy Dome) struck a perfect balance between comfort and adventure.
Harmony was an excellent host and made sure we felt well-prepared before arriving, especially with helpful notes about the drive in and things to bring. Definitely make sure you bring pots/pan and foil for cooking, and headlamps for light. Harmony had alot of the other essentials there for us such was, silverware, soap, sponge, shampoo, lighter, instant coffee, and paper towels.
This spot is ideal for anyone looking for an easy, nature-filled getaway without going too far off the grid. We left feeling refreshed and already talking about when we could come back!

Holiday RV Park offers so much. I was greeted by a staff member that had me follow him to my site. He assisted me in backing my RV perfectly into the site. The bathroom and showers are clean and heated. My grandchildren and my self enjoyed the pool and spa. Lots of swim toys for the kids and floats for adults. They offer outdoor sinks, which helped me with more space cleaning dishes. The office staff is so awesome, friendly and helpful.

Harmony was very accommodating and even allowed for an upgrade to a different site. The drive down to the site is a little sketchy, but well worth it. We had the entire site to ourselves and was one of our best experiences camping/glamping ever. The dip in the water was refreshing and the nights were peaceful. We didn’t make it to the waterfall because of small dogs, but it didn’t bring our experience down. The ping pong and freezbie golf was a high light as well.

Weekend Trip to Harmony's Glamping
We enjoyed our stay at Harmony's Glamping. Harmony was very responsive online whenever I had questions and she was warm and friendly in person. The site at the Luxury Yurt was very attractive and the kitchen had everything we expected. The Yurt itself was very comfortable, pretty, and well-furnished. We enjoyed showering outside on the hill. Though the site had enough visual privacy, there was a lot of noise from the other sites. I imagine this could vary a lot depending on the other guests.
The hike to the waterfall is short and the creek crossings and boulder hopping make it pretty fun. It's easier on the way back to see which way you're supposed to go. The waterfall and swimming hole is very nice and worth spending the whole day at.
The drive down into the camp is very bumpy with sharp turns - a few spots would be tricky in a car with low clearance.
The one downside about the camp for me (besides noise from the other sites) was the port-a-potties, which are obviously never a pleasant experience. These ones are at least kept clean, but a compost toilet or fancy port-a-potty with a flush toilet bowl would have been much nicer.

Gosh, this is such a serene and lovely place. The location-- along a running creek with steelhead trout, lush trees and ample swimming holes-- feels magical given it's set in the midst of a much dryer and arid landscape. I will certainly return.

1 night at Harmony's Glamping
We absolutely LOVED our experience here! The road down is an adventure in itself and we couldn't believe the oasis that is Harmony's land! The hermit dome was so cute and cozy! Watching the stars as we fell asleep and waking up to birds chirping was such a relaxing experience. The hike to the waterfall is a must do and a fun challenge. Make sure you are good at identifying poison oak! They graciously have poison oak wash at the site which was so appreciated. Will def be back!

This is one of the coolest and most special camping spots we have ever stayed at! It’s the perfect combo of adventure and gorgeous nature with some really nice and thoughtful amenities! The flowing water is so refreshing and the group area has so many little gems and activities. We did the hike to the waterfall and it was a challenge with some risk and poison oak but the perfect adventure to really feel accomplished by the time you get to the stunning waterfall! We will be back for sure! Highly recommend!

We stayed in the yurt and we absolutely loved it! The campground itself had plenty of things to do for all ages. The waterfall trail is a must! Harmony and her boyfriend were super helpful and even sent us a recommended packing list. This along with the maps, pdf guide & equipped campsite made the trip so much more easy to plan and relaxing. We booked during the week, lucked out and got to enjoy the entire campsite to ourselves! We will definitely be coming back but with friends this time. Thank you Harmony & team for this amazing campground!

We loved our time here! My husband and I brought our 2 dogs and 7 month old baby and everyone had a blast! We hiked to the waterfall and it was even more gorgeous than the pictures. Worth the moderate hike in and out of the creek, and rock hopping. We went prepared with water shoes and were baby wearing, which made it easier & we just took our time and it was no problem at all. The amenities were awesome, & Harmony was helpful and responsive when we needed to reach out.

We had a great time at Harmony’s. It was amazing to sleep in a real bed within a tent. I only wish I had realized to look under the bed to find the cots. I completely miss them.
There is a common area that has ping-pong, a tire swing, and tables that we used for playing card games. My kids really enjoyed that area.
We also enjoyed hiking from the campsite to the river, although we never quite made it to the waterfall not everyone was comfortable climbing across rocks in the river.

Hello, my sister and I had a wonderful time, we are in love with Harmony and we are already planning our next stay. I recommend it, you will not regret it, it is a unique experience, everything is very clean, there is no doubt that the people in charge of this beautiful place do a great job, the road to get there is an adventure!! You just have to drive carefully and everything will be fine. It is not recommended to arrive at night, you have to arrive during the day, but there are no words to describe how beautiful it is to stay. We stayed at the Hermit Dome and it is great, very private, away from others and very clean.

Loved loved loved the Hermit Dome. Harmony’s place is magical. Private, completely in nature, water (creek) nearby, hot water shower (propane), water from a well, a comfy bed with a nice comforter and pillows, private stoves and fire pit…. We were two gal friends looking for a reset and time to talk and get inspired. And that we did! Can’t wait to go back!
