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.

This hip camp truly was magical!! We had such a relaxing time during our stay. The views were insane and the camp hosts were very welcoming and informative. We were actually planning on only staying one night yet loved it so much we decided to stay for two! Definitely recommend :)

The land is gorgeous, the fellow campers are great and the host, Vicki is incredibly gracious i highly recommend. Her work on this land has made it a beautiful serene place. The drive up is a bit bumpy but our tesla made it without damage and the orchard you drive through is amazing

Vicki's property was a dream. The land itself was very well-kept and spacious. You weren't too close to other campers and when I did run into other campers, they were very respectful and courteous. The noise policy was abided by all. I felt like it was just me and the trees (and my dog). Who was also allowed off leash!! Percy enjoyed it very much.

Such a lovely place! The host is super nice, and there are the cutest dogs and little pigs running around. The campsites are spacious, private, and you can even have a campfire! It’s beginner-friendly too — perfect for a chill getaway. This was our second time here and we loved it just as much. Plus, the starry night sky is magical!
