Great location, awesome camp site and really great host. Took a group of 8 people, 2 dogs and 5 cars and they were so accommodating to our big group. We plan to come back every year and make this an annual friends gathering.
Heads up- the road up IS as daunting as other reviewers mentioned. However, our group included one Mazda sedan, one Tesla, a jeep, a compact AWD SUV, and a 4 runner. While the 4 runner and jeep handled it the best/fastest, the other cars got up no problem. Just had to go slowly.

Beautiful views
So amazing! We had the best time. I would definitely come back. Make sure you have 4x4 when driving up the hill. It is pretty uneven!

I was skeptical about this trip as some of the reviews were mixed. We went in November and the trip exceeded my expectations. The views all over the site were incredible, and the place is very well maintained. They even had indoor bathrooms that were kept in very good condition.

I even couldn't imagine that this place so beautiful. Great view from campground on the valley. Restrictions and showers are available.
Nice and quiet place even on Saturday when almost the whole place was packed you still get some privacy.
Sedans with low clearance could get in trouble when you turn on the bumpy and dirty narrow road.
Not an easy way to get there but it is definitely worth it!

Camping in the clouds!
The views were beautiful. Our campsite was right across the bathroom/ showers, very clean, and plenty of warm water. The host met us upon arrival and gave us the tour of the whole property, she was very friendly, personable, and accessible for any questions, needs, and concerns through our stay. Highly recommend! Due to the altitude, on an overcast morning, you sit right above the clouds, absolutely breathtaking!

Amazing location
This was such an amazing experience! Nicole is the sweetest host, she made sure we had everything we needed and showed us around so we could choose a camping spot, which was pretty tough because they were all so spacious and unique. The view is breathtaking anywhere you stay, and it’s just overall such a peaceful experience, which was much much needed. 10/10 :)

Getaway for the Weekend…
This was a wonderful weekend spent at Harrison Serenity Ranch. Our host was very sweet and gave us a quick tour of the property. The yurt was cozy and the beds were comfortable. The view from the Ranch are spectacular and the area is quiet and quaint.
While we would definitely come back. There are a few things to note: The road there has VERY bumpy terrain. An AWD is suggested although you can make it in a car as long as it doesn’t sit too low. They do not provide a map of the layout of the Ranch. Maybe it was just me but I kept getting turned around. We were not directed to where there might be a kitchen/bbq. The Ranch itself is a little rundown. The yoga deck is in great shape but there is an abandoned “healing sanctuary” nearby that is a bit eerie. The benches need to be fixed. They’re broken and nails are sticking out. We signed up and paid for for the hike but nothing was ever communicated with us regarding it…
All in all, we would come back as the pros outweighed the cons, the Ranch is just an hour outside of San Diego and the area has gorgeous views. It was a great little getaway for the weekend.

Great spot
I had a peaceful stay on Nicole’s land. The views were beautiful, area was quiet, and tent was clean and comfortable. Jeremiah was super helpful and welcoming when I checked in. Will definitely return for a longer stay next time!

Great view and pet friendly
Nancy and friends were very communicative and directions were great. Check in was smooth and we had options on camp site which was helpful since we had our pups with us. Very clean and a great place to either relax or be active. The view is fantastic and we were lucky enough to watch a thunderstorm in the distance. The road getting to the entrance was a bit rough but a sedan and a Jeep made it no problem.
Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back.

Nicole is very friendly and helpful, the views from this mountain is breathtaking, if you sleep in, I recommend get your butt out of the sleeping bag, and watch the sunrise from the mountain side.
Clean camp, bathrooms and showers available, I would suggest you check it out.

Everything we could ask for!
We looked at so many reviews of Serenity before going, and the majority of the reviews did it no justice… we absolutely loved it! Our host, Lauren, was amazing. She drove us around to multiple sites for us to choose from, was super helpful, and sweet.
Super clean, obvious pride is taken here, peaceful, and it’s very quiet.
The views are to die for!
We will absolutely go back!

Zen Tent
All the best things about camping: being in nature, quiet, stars, moon rising, sunset, long walks and none of the hassles: no pitching tents, no packing and carrying tent, sleeping bag, mats, chairs, etc. Harrison Serenity Ranch is serene, quiet, and an amazing find only one hour away from San Diego. The outdoors showers, the indoor toilets and showers, yoga deck, the views are almost too good to be true. The road is not well maintained and you do need to go quite slow unless you have a 4x4 or a truck but that’s part of the adventure too. Definitely will be back.

Serenity Is Only The Beginning
Serenity is only the beginning at the Harrison Serenity Ranch! It’s a beautiful, well-preserved piece of land with wonderful hosts and views. From sunrise to sunset, the ranch was absolutely lovely. We were greeted by Lauren who was absolutely great at giving a tour around the place and she was there daily if anything was needed. It was also great to meet Vicky, the owner of the land. She passed by the campsite on day two of our stay and was incredibly sweet! The camp sites are first come first serve but each have a unique view and aren’t too far away from portable toilets (which were very clean). There are also fresh spring water spouts and hoses throughout the property. During our stay, the weather was warm but just perfect to us and the evenings were cool and perfect. Favorite part was watching the sun set from their yoga deck not too far from the camp sites. It’s a great place for pets too! I’d recommend this place for others! The drive up the mountain is quite the ride but it was worth it once at the top! Wishing Harrison Serenity Ranch all the best! With it being so close to home, I can’t wait to go back!

Amazing views and clean facilities
Loved our weekend stay at Nicole’s! Host was very enthusiastic and welcoming; she even took us on a tour of the whole site right when we arrived so we didn’t have to guess where everything was. The indoor sink and showers was a huge plus for new campers in our group. Overall a great camping experience!!
