Summary AI-generated from real reviews
This area is in a rural spot, but it has modern amenities, like running water and wifi. Jennifer was an amazing host, and she was helpful in getting me setup, despite dealing with a crisis of her own. Her team even helped me get a fire going so I could roast marshmallows.
Full disclosure, there are permanent residents here who live in RVs on-site, so please be comfortable in that environment. The neighbors are respectful and keep to themselves.
I would definitely come back again! It’s a wonderful location nearby state parks.

I really loved the retro trailer. Also got to stay in the tent. The campground is great, amenities are well maintained. Jen the host on site is there for any questions and is more than helpful. I would definitely recommend this place and I look forward to going back.

Airstream At Basecamp
It was really quiet and peaceful. Airstream was really cool and we had a great time. My dog was enjoying the outside and we went up to Julian for the day. We are totally coming back to try the retro tv!

Jennifer was great and her brother Steven—also extremely helpful and welcoming with my Holiday stay! The airstream is great and has everything you could ask for (water spigot, a heater, power outlets all throughout, portable stove top, microwave, utensils, plates and a mini fridge w/ freezer. Also, the community had a nice little Christmas feast and met some of the loveliest of folks while there. Facilities were all clean and very well kept. Will definitely be coming back!

From the booking to checking in the entire process was super easy. The RV was super nice. It had a fridge, microwave and a coffee maker. I brought my own gas stove for cooking. The campsite was clean and quiet. I’ll definitely come back and camp here again!

Jennifer’s retro RV campground near Palomar Mountain’s base camp is a charming blend of nostalgia and nature. The site features vintage, restored RVs from the '60s and '70s, complete with cozy interiors, retro decor, and modern amenities like heating, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The location offers stunning views of surrounding valleys and peaks, perfect for hiking, stargazing, and exploring Palomar Mountain State Park and the nearby Palomar Observatory.

Retro RV
This camp ground is very pretty and the retro camper is cute but the cleanliness of the camper could be improved. Our sheets looked as tho there were drool stains on them. The shower had a large hair ball. The people who run the place are nice and it seems as tho they are making improvements. I would visit again, especially in my own tent. It's beautiful here.

Jenniffer was great and so helpful! A peaceful spot with a clean, cool pool. Plenty of shade at the sites. There are a lot of flies and bugs, so be sure to bring cintronella/ bug spray.

We stayed at campsite #21 and it was great! Very shady and breezy. The bathrooms were well kept and easily accessible as well. We would come back!

The place is very clean, orderly, and even in the area where long term residents reside. There are abundance of California Oak trees that made the campground even more magnificent. And Jennifer is very friendly and has always been available when I needed to talk to her.

Hostess is super friendly. She moved us to a more secluded spot for privacy and quiet during check in, the original spot was apparently surrounded by permanent residents that are active at night. FYI there were a lot of permanent set-ups here.
Campgrounds functional, bathrooms are clean, hot water at the (paid) showers. Mostly dry sand and hardpacked dirt. Only gripe I had was that there are a lot of ant hills everywhere and they started to crawl into my car.

The camper spot was nice and large, with a picnic table and fire pit space under the shade of a tree. The camper itself had air conditioning which was great for the heat! Unfortunately we had issues with the toilet that the host did initially resolve, but the issue persisted. Many essentials (linens, silverware, knives, dishes, pots/pan, strainer, toilet paper) were included which was helpful. The grounds also have a pool and small playground, and make up a mix of residents & campers.

My husband, dogs, and I just got back from a nice and relaxing weekend at this campground. We had originally booked site 14, but when we arrived, Jenniffer suggested a different site with more shade, which we really appreciated. The campground was quiet and everyone was really friendly. On our first night, she asked if we needed firewood, and on the day we were leaving, she kindly came by and asked if she could take our trash in her cart instead of having us walk to the dumpster. Great customer service! It’s obvious they are putting a lot of effort into this campground. I was pleasantly surprised that the bathrooms were so clean. There was a recently renovated game room with vending machines that looked really nice. There was also a new pool that was getting its finishing touches and scheduled to open in a few weeks. We enjoyed our weekend and plan on returning again later this summer.

The site was well maintained, peaceful, and my campsite (17B) was private and mostly secluded. Bathrooms were clean and spacious and the showers were a big plus. Having electricity AND running water at our site was so convenient.
Jenniffer the hostess was amazing and accommodating- she even drove wood and citronella over to my site at night time. Great job with your site and the camping experience provided, Jennifer. Thank you.

Shaddy Oak Tree 21
Everything went well, literally. Jenniffer was so kind, friendly, and ready to help. The campground was so clean, well maintained, and price was very reasonable, too. We went to see Paloma Observatory which was a real treat and hiking was amazing. If you enjoy nature, hills, trees, clouds, and silence, do not hesitate. Go there and spend a couple of nights. You will definitely want to return. We certainly will.

Troy property was wonderful. My wife, dogs, and I had a great time. The spot we have was perfect. Not many bugs flying around and it had shade. And the campsite is really close to Palomar State Park. We will definitely check it out again during the summer.
