This land has been a community gathering space for the Native's Ceremony and Healing Space for over a thousand years. Feast your eyes upon the Matates and traces of the people that once gathered here so long ago. Upon the mid 1800's we had a Settler named Nate Harrison find this to be the ideal space, and he set up homestead here, and lived an amazing full life. He was to become the first African American to aquire land here in San Diego County, and his homestead remains to this day; studied by archaeology students to this day. Sensitive habitat and magic lies within our gates, and we must approach the mountain as we would any sacred space; with RESPECT. We welcome you to enjoy Nate's land and inspire who you are deep inside your heart.

Very accommodating
Vicki was great accommodating an injury I suffered right before our reservation. She was gracious in postponing the trip by one day and getting us from a tent site into a glamping tent. Great communication, beautiful spot, very nice glamping tent.

Star gazing & glamping
I had the best time and the most beautiful views. Went up to see the stars for a meteor shower and was completely blown away at how beautiful and peaceful it was. Thank you for an amazing experience. Going back very soon.

Camping with 3 first-timers 🤯
Our stay at the mountain campsite was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by crisp, fresh air and breathtaking views that stretched as far as the eye could see. Nestled amidst beautiful trees and sounds of nature 🙌🏽 , the campsite offered a true retreat from the hustle of everyday life. The real highlight, of course, was the surroundings. Waking up to the golden sunrise illuminating the peaks was an unforgettable experience. Night was spent hiking trails. the clear sky became a canvas of stars, offering a peaceful end to the day by the campfire. Can’t wait to visit again. I brought 3 first time campers along with me and they’re already asking when is the next camping trip. Love the communication between us and the host, really made our stay easy and welcoming allowing us to really enjoy the campsite with no issues. Shouts outs to Brain and Vicki 🤟🏾

Beautiful campsite! We went on an unpopular weekend which one of the owners allows us to select a campsite since there was many. It was just us and another group (5 ppl) there. Each camp site had a fire pit, chair and table. There were multiple portable bathrooms. The drive up was intense, winding road (turns), and unpaved road (rocky & dirt). I saw different cars go up, we had a truck, so it wasn’t a big deal. It took us 26-30 minutes from Nate Harrison road to the campsite. Overall great experience!
