Summit Trail Hilltop Retreat
Hosted by Heidi · Jamul, California
2 sites · Lodging · 10 acres
The Space
Welcome to a peaceful 11-acre hilltop sanctuary tucked into the chaparral-covered hills east of San Diego. This rustic retreat offers wide-open space, deep quiet, and a private hiking trail leading to a mountain summit with breathtaking 360-degree views of rolling mountains, valleys, and endless sky.
From fiery sunsets to crystal-clear night skies, this is a place to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with nature. On clear nights, enjoy exceptional stargazing and luminous full moons—no city glare, just stars.
Accommodations
We offer two thoughtfully spaced camp sites, ideal for couples, friends, or small families of up to four.
• Bring your own tent and enjoy a comfortable, well-supported camping experience
• Sites are spread out for privacy and quiet
• Easy access to shared amenities (no roughing it here)
Everything is designed to feel simple, peaceful, and stress-free—real camping without the chaos.
Amenities
- Shared enclosed shower shed with hot water and sink
• Clean composting toilet
• Private on-property hiking trail to a summit viewpoint
• Panoramic hilltop views from camp
• Camp essentials provided (cookware, fire setup, seating, lighting, etc.)
• Farm stand on property
👉 Guests typically tell us they’re surprised by how easy it feels—just bring your food and clothes.
The Experience
Fall asleep to coyotes calling in the distance. Wake to birdsong and soft morning light moving across the hills. Hike your own private trail for sunrise or sunset—no crowds, no noise, just you and the land.
Spend the day relaxing at camp, exploring nearby trails, or heading out for local adventures. Return in the evening for golden-hour skies, crackling firelight, and a sense of deep calm that’s hard to find anywhere else.
