Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
These 6 acres are like a secret gated oasis in the middle of rural Vista. The site has access to power and water and a natural spring-fed stream and pond, a shade structure with a table for meals and a little creekside trail. Plenty of space to view wildlife, romp around, play games or rest and relax. In town for work? Surf trip? It is a family-friendly escape that’s close to everything! 10 minutes to multiple stores, restaurants, coffee shops, urgent care etc… 20 minutes to the beach 20 minutes to Fallbrook wineries 30 minutes to Legoland 40 minutes to San Diego Zoo Safari Park 50 minutes to USS Midway 50 minutes to Sea World 50 minutes to San Diego Zoo

Owl Creek

100%
(12)
Vehicle site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 25 ft
Great horned owls live in the oaks surrounding this lovely little spot and can often be heard at night. Close to the gated entrance, this site has access to a gazebo with a table for meals and shade. A meandering creek flows through the site, with level space for outdoor games and some palm trees for hammocks. There is a 15 amp outlet at the gazebo and a spigot for water. The pad is fairly level for a smaller camper/trailer. The most level spot on the pad is all the way at the back of the parking area. Parking closer to the gazebo may require some leveling. There are no bathrooms onsite and no blackwater dumping or human waste dumping onsite. Guests must bring a camper/trailer or a portable loo. An additional tent may be placed on the site for larger groups as long as there is a trailer or portable loo available for bathroom use.

Turtle Pond Flats

100%
(7)
Vehicle site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 32 ft
Turtle Flats is a large, level lot with a pond overlook. The turtles from the pond love to come up and lay their eggs on the surrounding hillside, hence the name 🐢😁. We can accommodate RVs or trailers up to 32 ft. Although the pad is large enough to accomodate larger trailers, the driveway to get to the pad has a narrow turn that does not work well with larger rigs. There is currently 30 amp electricity available and water hookups. There is a covered area for shade. The steel structure may be tall enough to accommodate parking for smaller campers, however taller trailers can park adjacent. If parking adjacent, make sure to have a longer power cord and hose for reaching the hookups that are under the parking structure. Close access to the pond and creek for wildlife viewing and general relaxation. Expect to hear frogs and crickets at night. 🐸 There are no bathrooms available and no blackwater dumping or human waste disposal available onsite. Guests must bring a trailer or portable loo.

Cricket Cove

100%
(1)
Vehicle site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 22 ft
With the sweet soundtrack of crickets all night, campers will find this to be our most private site, tucked away near the far corner of the pond. There is a nice level spot for parking a camper van or other small camper (under 22 ft total length.) We’ve run a 15 amp extension cord out to the site and there is a spigot nearby for water but no water hookup unless you have a super long hose (over 200 ft). There is a small table for 2 and a shady area where you could hang a hammock. You’ll be camping surrounded by oaks and native plants. Navigating into the spot requires a bit of a steep driveway and sharp left turn but it’s totally manageable if you are a confident driver of your vehicle. Exiting the site will require backing up and turning around before heading out. Please note that there are no restrooms available for this site and that all campers must have a portable loo of some kind. There is no blackwater dumping onsite and we ask all campers to use only campsoap or other totally non toxic biodegradable soap for any grey water that is dumped in the bushes as this campsite sits in an environmental easement and we want to take good care of the wildlife.

Cricket Cove
Hidden Waters is a perfect name for Lacy's property. My site, "Cricket Cove" was very private right on the pond under Oak Trees and Palm Trees. Lacy initiated and replied to preparation messages promptly so I felt prepared and very welcome. I will definitely be coming back.

Amazing spot, close to everything in North County San Diego. We fit our 19 foot van easily. Very quiet. Easy to find. Exactly what we were looking for.

So nice to find the green belt, live water, an audobon sanctuary, and a historic park -- nestled within a suburban area on a peaceful six acres.

Lacey kept in constant contact with me prior and during my stay. She was very accommodating as well. Good place to just relax and get away by yourself. Property had plenty of space for my dog to explore.

Turtle Pond Flats
We camped at Turtle Flats and had an amazing experience that met our requirements. The view was spectacular from the campsite. It felt like you were in a tropical jungle. The family loved hiking around the property, swinging in the hammock, hanging out near the lake, looking at the wildlife . We saw an owl, egret, turtles, and ducks. We had a 22’ Airstream and there was 30amp available and water hookup. We brought our portable firepit since there was a fire ban in the area. For us it was easy to get in and out. The incline was not bad at all from some other comments. Highly recommend.

Lovely lovely spot to park a camper / rv in. We stayed with Lacy and Ben for 2 nights and they couldn’t have been nicer. Helped us sort out our parking and gave us great local tips. Would 100% recommend this beautiful spot and hosts!

Turtle Pond Flats
Lacy was great. She communicated well. She even reached out to me in advance to let me know about a jazz concert that was going to be in the area during my stay. The property was great too. It was very peaceful and quiet. The availability of 30 amp power, water, and the large shade cover with picnic table right at the site was a huge plus. Also, there was plenty of restaurants and things to do only a few minutes away.

Lacy and her husband are the best! Lacy’s communication is top notch and I really appreciated that from the very beginning of our interaction. Unfortunately the day before our trip was supposed to commence, we found out that our electrical was damaged by rats upon getting it from storage. This completely devastated us as we were looking forward to our trip to Turtle Flats and the fact that we now have to have our RV in the shop for several weeks before we can get back out there! Fortunately Lacy and her husband have been more than gracious with us and our situation and we are forever grateful! We look forward to finally having our RV ready to go so we can book at Turtle Flats again and actually get to stay this time! I highly recommend booking Turtle Flats or any other spots they have on their gorgeous property!

Lacy was great with everything and the property is very nice. We enjoyed the area for exploring (20 minutes to the beach) and the property provided nice quiet evenings for us. Thanks Lacy.

I loved my stay. Lacy was great at communicating about arrival so that she could meet me and show me the site and the property. It was a great site with the gazebo, lights, electrical and water. Very comfortable and quiet (though there can be some street noise). The surrounding creek, nature, pond created a beautiful place to enjoy a small walk and listen to many birds. Definitely at the top of my Hip Camp stays.

Lacey’s property was beautiful lots of many adventures and sites to see on the property. Only 20 minutes away from Carlsbad Beach and Oceanside. I will definitely come back when we come back to the beach.

Such a great spot! Felt like we had our own nature preserve to ourselves! Turtles, trails, hammocks, boulders, all kinds of birds - Turtle Flats has it all! We came here on a beach excursion from Phoenix, and Turtle Flats was our base camp. Lacy was so kind and hospitable, everyone here was so friendly! Definitely planning on staying here again in the future and definitely recommend Turtle Flats to all worthy Hip Campers! Thank you for your kindness and making our special trip possible, Lacy!
