Loved, loved, loved camping here. It is such a gorgeous spot with truly epic views. Nothing beats unwinding after exploring the nearby state park then some hot tub soaking. I can't recommend this place enough. It was everything I needed for a quick solo getaway.

Yuliya's land is a hidden gem! It has been by far one of my favorite places to camp. The views are amazing and you get to enjoy them from a private jacuzzi! We soaked up the night sky in the warm water and enjoyed a beautiful star show. Yuliya is super easy to communicate with and was very accommodating when we needed to make a change. I would love to come back here again!

5 star! Julia was so kind! She was texting me the week leading up to my reservation night with weather updates about some strong winds. Some others ended up canceling, so she offered us site #4, the one I originally wanted because my friend said that was the best one, and it did not disappoint! It was secluded, you could see the coast perfectly from where we slept and where the jacuzzi was! There is a kitty that wanders around and came right up to our jacuzzi. The entire ground was clean and everything was minimal impact to the land which I also loved. I already told several of my friends about it so they can book. I really like what Julia is trying to provide and how she goes about it!

Beautiful location! The hot tub was amazing in the cold night and an easy place to set up camping gear. Yuliya was great and accommodating. Our original booking site was not available due to a broken feature but Yuliya set us up at a different spot (#4) which was even more stunning. We had to cut our trip short due to strong winds that our tent couldn’t withstand, so I recommend looking at weather and wind reports if you’re planning to tent camp.

Julia was a great host!! She met us there and let us look at 2 different sites so we could have our pick. Her collaboration with Grazefulle yours…was awesome because We were able to order an amazing s’mores charcuterie board which was delicious. The Jacuzzi was clean and cozy warm and the sunset was amazing

The spot was absolutely beautiful! The sunrises and sunsets were amazing, though sunsets were harder to see because of all the trees. This is easily the most private spot on the ground; we didn't see a single soul the whole trip. The hike to the bathroom is STEEP, but the bathroom is very clean and well-stocked. The driveway is very narrow and there is no way to turn around, so I would recommend backing into the spot so it's easier to pull out. Jacuzzi was clean and warm. Stars were beautiful (though the moon was very bright). The nights we stayed, the winds were absolutely howling and we ended up sleeping in the back of my truck. Also, the hike to the creek you can hear from the spot is VERY VERY VERY steep, I don't recommend it unless you are in excellent shape.

We had a great time and will definitely return. The jacuzzis have a great view down the mountain. You can see all the way to SD. Each campsite has its own wood pile for fires. Yuliya was a great host.

My girlfriend and I absolutely loved this Campsite. I have over 300 nights of camping experience in a tent and my girlfriend has maybe about 5, but we can both agree that this experience was like no other. From the beautiful views, the jacuzzi, and the friendliness of the host. You'll have everything you need for a great and unique camping experience. The stars were unreal. Juliya was awesome and very nice. She'll greet you upon arrival to show you your campsite, and then leaves you alone. Couldn't have asked for a better host. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

The sites are peaceful and views are beautiful, the jacuzzi is just the best thing ever. Perfect for stargazing especially when it is clear. The fog came in one of the nights but it was still very beautiful. We could hear a lot of birds in the area, site 3 is near some very considerate and quiet family of woodpeckers. Julia is a wonderful host! We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back!

Amazing view from every part of the property. The hot tub was super hot and the stars were lovely. Yulia was so friendly and the coffee station made for the perfect “coffee with a view” morning we were looking for. Can’t wait to stay again!

Best camping experience so far! Beautiful spot, beautiful view, the jacuzzi is a super plus! However the hosts pay attention to the little details and are so attentive! That’s what really makes the difference here. They are amazing! Julia is very accommodating and beyond responsive. I would definitely come back again and I’m already spreading the word to my friends and family. Thank you Julia! You guys rock!

Super chill, spot that will allow you to replenish your soul and senses. Host was immediately responsive and has created a wonderfully unique camping experience minutes from Palomar Mountain and hiking. Will definitely be staying here more commuting from San Diego to San Luis Obispo. Sunsets and sunrises are breathtaking.

This spot was near the top of the property. You have to drive up a dirt hill to get up there. The dirt can be muddy if it recently rained and requires AWD or 4WD to get up there. The view is somewhat blocked by trees, but it’s mostly the city lights from Escondido. The place where you park your car is lower than the campsite and hot tub so it takes a bit of work the haul the gear up the steps. The top of the property is closer to the road where people tend to race their sports cars around the twisty turns. The hot tub was a really great experience. Make sure to get the fire burning hot early as the hot tub takes hours to reach a nice temperature.

First and foremost, hosts were so welcoming and accommodating. This was a surprise Christmas gift for my fiancé. He absolutely loved it. The whole hot tub on the side of a mountain experience is by far one of the most romantic camping trips we’ve taken! Loved “soaking in” the views and being surrounded by the peacefulness of nature! The stars in the sky and moonlight over the mountainside was spectacular! So bring a phone or camera with night-mode capability. And night-mode will come in handy especially if you add bioluminescence to your hot-tub booking!

This was my second time coming here and it won't be the last. I love the location, the views, and the firepits and hot tubs. Already planning my next trip!

We loved our overnight stay at Palomar Stargazing Jacuzzi #5! Yuliya could not have been more hospitable and welcoming. We let her know what time we’d be arriving and the hot tub was heated and ready for us. The property itself has gorgeous views and they recently did some clearing on #5 to make a fantastic opening for sunrise viewing. We appreciated the privacy that #5 offers and it was a good trade off for the bit of a hike to the (very clean) bathroom. We will definitely be back.

Amazing camp site. Jacuzzi #5 is super private with it’s own driveway. Host was available anytime we texted her. Views were amazing all throughout the day and night. UNLIMITED firewood. Just do it already

Great experience staying with Yuliya. Her place is a paradise away from the city. We came during a meteor shower without even knowing it and caught some of the best shooting stars we ever saw.

Awesome place to tent camp, Yuliya and husband Ed have done an extreme amount of work to make a beautiful private camping retreat. The views were breathtaking. We had spot 5 so we had an amazing sunrise view plenty of room and privacy. Upon our arrival they had just enlarged this campsite. Adequate parking. A near by trail for a hike with waterfall. We will definitely be returning!

Such an amazing place! Yuliya was so welcoming when we arrived. The fire was already going and the hot tub was hot so we quickly unpacked and hopped right in to catch the sunset. I highly recommend spot #9, it seemed to be one of the most private sites and offered amazing views of the mountains and sunrise in the morning (the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee). Yuliya’s place is the perfect spot to escape the city for a few days and we will definitely be coming back!
