Santa Ysabel, CA · 26 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Hideout Mountain Lodge is a peaceful retreat tucked away in the hills of Santa Ysabel, just over an hour from San Diego and a couple of hours from Los Angeles. Spread across 40 acres, the property offers a variety of places to stay — from remodeled cabins with fireplaces and private decks, to vintage trailers, campsites, and RV spots with full hookups and views of Lake Henshaw.
This is the kind of place where you slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the landscape. Guests gather around the community firepit, take walks through the oaks, or just relax on a porch and listen to the birds.
On weekends, you can wander over to Josie’s Hideout Saloon, our on-site bar and restaurant, known for its live music and western character.
We’re just a few minutes from the towns of Santa Ysabel and Julian, easy to get to but far enough away to feel like an escape.

Welcome to Nopalito Farm! We’re so happy you’ve decided to spend some time on this beautiful property! In case you’re interested, here are a few interesting things about our farm.
Nopalito Farm has been in operation since late 2014, but the property itself has been a working farm for over 50 years. Lemons and avocados were the primary crops from the 70’s through the 00’s, and are still prominent throughout our 15 acres. Our predecessors then diversified the growing operation by planting a wide range of fruit trees ranging from guavas and passion fruit to peaches and figs. For a decade, hops were grown on 2 acres and were sold to breweries throughout southern California. We’ve since replaced the hop yard with perennial flowers, but continue to cultivate a wide variety of delicious fruits.

New Cuyama, CA · 23 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
1948- On January 1, 1948 a wildcatter named George Hadley, who had been oil prospecting in the valley for 10 years, made the first oil strike in the Cuyama Valley. Richfield Oil Company soon moved in and extracted nearly 300 million barrels of oil in just a few short years. To accommodate an exploding workforce in the early 1950s, the company built the town of New Cuyama, its infrastructure, public buildings, the Cuyama airstrip (L88) and all the industrial structures that are now home to Blue Sky. Richfield Oil Company, later merging with Atlantic Oil Company forming the Atlantic Richfield Oil Company (ARCO), created high-paying jobs, a safe and prosperous community, and developed schools, churches, and recreational areas for the employee-residents.1973- With dwindling production in the area and new discoveries in Alaska, Atlantic-Richfield Oil Company put the town of New Cuyama and its associated infrastructure up for sale. Word of an entire town for sale made its way to entrepreneur, Russell O’Quinn of the Foundation for Airborne Relief (FAR) and Mildred Dotson, a wealthy widow from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The two worked together to acquire the townsite and adjacent land. O’Quinn, an aviator, inventor, and test pilot, aspired to use the New Cuyama airstrip and facilities as a base for humanitarian relief and a non-profit trade school. Though not fully realized, FAR’s primary vision included utilizing converted military aircraft to airlift food and medical supplies to developing countries and global disaster areas. Dotson had loftier goals. Her plans included an 18-hole fly-in golf course, expansion of the Buckhorn Restaurant and Motel, and a 40- to 50-acre lake for amphibious landing and water sports. 1986- Another visionary, Harry Kislevitz, inventor of the popular design tool Colorforms® and founder of Future City/Villages International, sought to develop the site as a “City of Friendship,” an all-electric village of 5,000 earthen homes. The dwellings were to be designed by Nader Khalili, an Iranian-born architect who specialized in earthen structures, worked with NASA on prototypes for lunar homes and received an award from the United Nations for his work towards the development of low cost, sustainable structures for human shelter in impoverished and disaster prone environments. One 628-sq-ft Khalili prototype remains on the property today ("the Cantina"). Khalili went on to form the California Institute for Earth Art and Architecture, Cal-Earth, in Hesperia, CA.1993- Recognizing the transformative potential of clean, solar power and the attractiveness of a rural destination, entrepreneur Mike Nolan worked to develop the Solar Skypark and Big Sky Guest Ranch with Santa Barbara Architect, Barry Berkus. The Sky Park included plans for sixty-five fly-in residences on one-acre lots powered completely from clean, solar energy. The Big Sky Guest Ranch was intended to function as a clubhouse for Skypark residents complete with an equestrian center, a small subsistence farm, pool and plenty of enriching recreational activities. 2012- At the end of 2011, the Zannon Family Foundation made a long-term investment in acquiring the New Cuyama Airport property with the vision of rehabilitating the site to be a low-cost resource for programs and organizations working to advance sustainable living practices and technologies. Plans began soon after towards developing a framework and organization to develop the space and coordinate with prospective programs and institutions. In 2014 Blue Sky Sustainable Living Center ("Blue Sky Center") received 501(c)(3) not-for-profit status, endeavoring to reclaim this property for the public good. Today, Blue Sky Center provides unduplicated services and technical assistance to support small businesses and entrepreneurs as well as the local food system, with core work focused on community research and advocacy led by Cuyamans.

*Warning! The hike to the Deep Creek Hot Springs is fairly steep and can be difficult for some people, especially in warm weather, so everyone’s physical fitness needs to be considered when deciding to hike to the hot springs with pets, children, elderly people, or out-of-shape/over-weight people in your group. Even though Deep Creek has never had any known cases of amoeba outbreaks, be advised that the warm waters around hot springs can carry a sometimes fatal amoeba.
*Although children are permitted at most sites on the property (children are not permitted at the cabin or spring pool sites), we do not recommend bringing them due to occasional nudity that may be seen in the area and the degree of difficulty for the hike. In order to be prepared with the correct gear to make the hike to the hot springs and know the USFS rules that apply to the area, please educate yourself before coming by visiting the USFS website page for the Deep Creek area. Know before you go!

Visiting this property is a very unique experience, some describe it as “glamorous camping”.
No photoshoots, parties or cats allowed. Please read the full description, disclaimer, and reviews, to make sure this is what you are looking for.
****************************************************************************
DISCLAIMER: This is quite different from staying in an ordinary hotel. We are really in NATURE here - these are older cottages hand-built by artists in the forest. They are very rustic! It's like living in a mountain village, with other cottages nearby. While we work very hard to keep our places pristine and spotless - if anyone in your group will faint if they see a bug or lizard or little frog inside - then this probably isn't the place for you. Please be very careful booking cottages for someone else - like your parents just arriving from another continent - they might prefer something more conventional.
Some folks describe our places as a luxurious form of camping. We make our cottages very comfortable - they have all the basics - electricity - wifi - most have kitchens, bath or shower and comfy clean beds. But they are not like a hotel with perfect walls and a sterile atmosphere. Please look at all the pictures and read all the reviews. We can't offer refunds just because we don't meet the standards of a normal hotel. Most people are charmed by this idyllic and bohemian lifestyle - but it's not for everyone.
*********************************************************************
FILM AND PHOTOS SHOOTS: This is an amazing property for photography, and film, with 13 acres of rustic cottages, oak forests and sculpted streams. But please note we have special, and quite reasonable rates for filming, in addition to the normal rental charges. Please let us know ahead of time so we can work out the details. Commercial filming is not permitted without permission.

A clean home, warm shower, and cozy bed in the middle of the Mojave is a perfect place for me! As stated, there is only one queen bed so remember your extra bedding for additional campers. Everything was as stated in the listing. It does require driving a bumpy dirt road for a few miles but I’m guessing if you’re already a Hipcamper, your car will fare just fine. Given the road condition, it was about 35 minutes to the West entrance of J. Tree. Had a blast and would gladly stay again should we find ourselves needing a Mojave fix.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We recently stayed at Cabin #1 — The Bluebird's Nest — and it was an absolute gem of an experience from start to finish. Hideout Mountain Lodge is the kind of place that immediately feels like a home away from home.
Hosts Janice and Mike set the tone right from the start. They were warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive — exactly the kind of hosts that make you feel like a valued guest rather than just another booking. It's clear they take real pride in what they've created here.
The cabin itself was wonderful, but what truly elevated our stay was the unexpected bonus of live music at Josie's Hideout Saloon. The band Gallivant was playing throughout our visit and they were fantastic — the perfect soundtrack to mountain life. It added such a fun, lively energy to the whole experience and was a delightful surprise we didn't see coming.
This place is a keeper. The setting, the hospitality, the atmosphere — it all comes together in a way that's hard to find. We will absolutely be coming back and can't recommend Hideout Mountain Lodge highly enough. Do yourself a favor and book a stay — you won't regret it!

I stayed at the cabin on John's property. The land is gorgeous with great views. The cabin is amazing. It's really well-built, clean, organized. John really cares about his place. The bed is a pull out bed, pretty comfortable but definitely bring another pad if you like a more cushioned surface. There is a heater that does a great job keeping the place warm. A fair sized fridge with freezer, as well as a larger freezer in the camp kitchen area. The BBQ was super clean and works well. Ditto with the restroom. I didn't try the showers but they looked awesome. There is plenty of seating inside and out. The views are gorgeous. You'll see the sunset, stars, and sunrise from your bed. The description on here is exactly how it is. Just beware of GPS sending you the wrong way!!

I don’t often write reviews, but I had SUCH an amazing stay here. I arrived at about 3pm, Laura was outside and welcomed me in and showed me where to park. The cabin was great, very comfortable and cozy. I read my book on the hammock and then used the fire pit area which worked great! The bathroom was also very nice and looked to be newly renovated. Frogs started to chirp around dusk and I fell asleep to the sounds of nature. I would highly recommend booking this little cabin! As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe and relaxed throughout my stay. It was perfect and so peaceful. An experience within a stay. Thank you for having me!

John is an amazing host. The cabin was just perfect everything you may need for a weekend off the grid. I would come back 100%. Views are phenomenal too!

Weekend Trip to San Diego Canyon Creek
Our best memories are the frogs serenading us, while we relaxed in the cab. The river going by the property was very relaxing. Very nice set up on the next trip. We want to take advantage of the fire pit. The cabin is 10 out of 10.
