Sagewinds Farm is the first certified organic white sage farm in the world. Located in the high desert of San Diego county, between 3500 feet and 3800 ft. this beautiful 40 acres features caves, massive boulders to climb, views, flat land and privacy. At night the stars are magnificent and the milky way is visible...there are meteor showers several times a year. Permanent residents in the barn are the 2 mini horses to visit and four wonderful dogs. The nights are always cool and usually below 60% so be prepared to sleep well . There are visiting animals that past thru and could include, coyotes, bobcats, Coatis, foxes, rabbits, quail, hawks and mountain lions. There are also some snake and lizards. We do have rattlesnakes. To make up for the rattlers we offer two flush toilets! Camp on the healthy, beautiful and first certified organic white sage farm in the U.S. The place to heal from pandemics. High desert,(3500') with boulders, boulder mountains, caves and views. Rolling southern California terrain, home to all kinds of birds and wild life. Camp on top of the mountain, or camp in a cave or anywhere in between. See the Milky way on most nights, all have incredible stars. 40 acres. Visit the the little town of Jacumba Hot springs down the road. Exciting things are happening there. Hot Springs being renovate and are under new ownership. This is the prettiest property in east county! And the healthiest! It is a White Sage farm. This is the old west! Come in the spring for the wild flowers on the land. Come for the dark skies. Come for the very occasional snow. Most definitely come for all the Meteor showers.. You can see the Milky way on most nights

Wonderful
Ellen’s place was amazing. There were plenty places to hike and explore for the kids all day. She gave us a great tour when we first checked in and she made us feel extremely welcomed. We will be heading back again for sure.

Staying on Ellen’s property was incredible! She was so sweet and had two incredible campsites to choose from. The hammocks in the cave were a favorite. Would definitely come back!

Rock On!
We visited Ellen's land during an "excessive heat" warning weekend, which made us initially hesitant as to the upcoming challenges. However, directions to the site were clear, and we were grateful that owner Ellen was still up the night that we arrived, providing us an essential overview despite our very late arrival. Shade was limited during the day and summer heat got very real (~100 deg)! Finding the rock cave with the hammocks (just a short walk from the camp site) was such a relief! My family, including toddler and pup, all took a refreshing nap in the cave oasis. At night, star gazing was amazing, and night temp was comfortable (~66 deg). Not too many bothersome insects, although there seemed to be ant nests near the picnic table and other more level site (they can crawl up and leave a lingering bite). We appreciated being able to have our pup off leash, but as the owner's dogs occasionally ventured over to our site, we did have to be vigilant of the dogs' dynamics. Overall, our use of the multi-acre property felt private, almost exclusive, and was memorable!
