After spending a few years traveling around the world and working remotely, we chose San Diego to settle down and start a family. Given our unconventional lifestyle and the old-school mentality of mortgage lenders, it took us a while to buy our first home. It is a fixer-upper house with about an acre of land. We recently added a garden, citrus trees, grill, patio, and plan to add more amenities for campers. We love our home and the land around it, and we hope you do too! Since we chose San Diego out of anywhere in the world to live, we have tons of great recommendations to enhance your stay. We are open to both short-term and long-term stays. We thank you for sharing our space that we call the Crest Co-op, and we thank you for contributing to our never-ending-projects-fund. People that stay with us love our views, both facing north where you will see the 3 largest peaks in the region, and at the top of our driveway where you can see the ocean and downtown San Diego. The sunsets are unreal! Our guests also love the recommendations. As avid travelers, we can help you find the best restaurant, beach, brewery, hike, or whatever you are into. **PLEASE READ TO ENSURE THIS IS A GOOD MUTUAL FIT** When you submit a request or message, please let us know what kind of vehicle you have, especially the length. Please note that if the total length of your vehicle (for those with trailers that includes the length of the truck) should be under 35 ft. This is a general guideline since we've found larger vehicles are difficult to back down our driveway. We have backed a 33 ft airstream down the driveway with a 20ft truck so it is doable if you are a pro at backing up, but please note this before booking. Also please let us know if you plan to use electricity or water, and add on the electricity since this costs us a lot of money. San Diego Gas and Energy is the most expensive energy in the country and our average electricity bill is over $700 per month, so we unfortunately have to pass on some of these costs if you decide to plug in. Wifi and water are free. Last, if you tell us a little about yourself and what you're looking to do in San Diego we can try to make your stay more enjoyable with conversation and recommendations. See ya soon!

Best Hipcamp choice?

Raymond is a wonderful host and very helpful for when I was car camping at site one for a week. He provided a bin for me to do my dishes in and he let me use the water hose when needed. I felt very safe staying on this property with a beautiful view to wake up to! Every night you’d hear a beautiful creature chirp noises nearby which is very snoozing ! I would definitely rate staying here 5 stars.

Perfect for the evenings!

Raymond’s property was perfect of my needs. I was in a sprinter van with my 2 dogs. It is an extension of his driveway and he allows you to be in his yard as well. So my dogs enjoyed being able to roam. I was able to charge my batteries and fill up my water. I actually ended up extending my stay 1 night. I liked knowing I had a safe place to park at night so I could stay out at the beach till late and then drive to his place and park for the night.

It was a safe and quiet place to stay while in San Diego. I would stay there again. Quite the view of the city.

Great spot, easy to find. Beautiful view of the San Diego hills! I would definitely recommend if you're looking to be in San Diego :). The lights at night are spectacular and the driveway is nice and quiet if you're looking to sleep in like we did.
