Far Away, Close to Home
Instagram page @splitrockfarmandretreat. Tag your photos #splitrockfarmandretreat #SplitrockFAR #farawayclosetohome
Or, contact the Camp Host through Hipcamp direct message.
Splitrock Farm and Retreat started in January 2021 after a global search of a place to set roots, live off the land, and create an amazing place for recreation, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
Splitrock was part of a 160-acre avocado farm that prospered from 1970 to 2017, generating over 1million pounds of avocados per year until the previous owners switched off the water in 2017. Ben purchased 101 acres in 2021 with plans to harvest the dead avocado trees for firewood and replant with organic, sustainable crops such as grapes, citrus trees, and flowers.
Splitrock's attraction comes from its unique groves, magnificent granite boulders, and sweeping vistas. Mixed within the avocado groves are several ancient groves and solitary trees that include 150+ foot tall pines, hundreds of old oaks, and soaring palms. Freckled throughout the hillsides are thousands of humongous granite boulders, offering a prehistoric feel to the landscape. Above all, Splitrock offers unrivaled views. Over 40 miles of coastline includes views to Point Loma, the Carlsbad power station, and the Pendleton Hospital. To the northeast are views of near 11K foot snowy peaks of San Jacinto and San Gorgonio, with rolling hills of De Luz and Fallbrook in the foreground.

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 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.

Welcome to Nopalito Farm! We’re so happy you’ve decided to spend some time on our beautiful property.
Nopalito Farm has been in operation since late 2014, but the property itself has been a working farm for over 50 years. Lemons and avocados were the primary crops from the 70’s through the 00’s, and are still prominent throughout our 15 acres. Our predecessors then diversified the growing operation by planting a wide range of fruit trees ranging from guavas and passion fruit to peaches and figs. For a decade, hops were grown on 2 acres and were sold to breweries throughout southern California. We’ve since replaced the hop yard with perennial flowers, but continue to cultivate a wide variety of delicious fruits.
We are committed to intentional and responsible land stewardship, using natural farming techniques with a focus on habitat restoration. We partner with various conservation groups to create habitat for wildlife and establish a thriving ecosystem amongst the fruit trees.
Visiting our farm is a chance to experience a working, permaculture-based farm and to learn the ways in which small-scale, local agriculture can restore people and place.

Hideout Mountain Lodge is a peaceful retreat tucked away in the hills of Santa Ysabel, just over an hour from San Diego and a couple of hours from Los Angeles. Spread across 40 acres, the property offers a variety of places to stay — from remodeled cabins with fireplaces and private decks, to vintage trailers, campsites, and RV spots with full hookups and views of Lake Henshaw.
This is the kind of place where you slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the landscape. Guests gather around the community firepit, take walks through the oaks, or just relax on a porch and listen to the birds.
On weekends, you can wander over to Josie’s Hideout Saloon, our on-site bar and restaurant, known for its live music and western character.
We’re just a few minutes from the towns of Santa Ysabel and Julian, easy to get to but far enough away to feel like an escape.

Experience the Charm of Country Living!
Welcome to your peaceful country getaway — a cozy retreat tucked away on 5½ acres of scenic ranchland, where the beauty of nature, the rhythm of rural life, and the gentle presence of friendly farm animals come together to create an experience you’ll never forget. Whether you’re craving a quiet escape from the fast pace of the city, a family adventure surrounded by animals and open skies, or a weekend to slow down and reconnect with life’s simple pleasures, this is your place.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the difference. The air is cleaner, the stars are brighter, and time seems to slow down just enough for you to catch your breath. The property is set back from the road and surrounded by rolling hills and pastureland, giving you the perfect balance of privacy and open space. It’s not just a stay — it’s an experience that brings you closer to nature and reminds you what “peace and quiet” really feel like.
Your Cozy Country Retreat
Your home during your stay is a comfortable, fully furnished trailer — simple, warm, and thoughtfully set up to provide everything you need while keeping the rustic, down-to-earth spirit of the ranch alive. Inside, you’ll find a clean and welcoming living space with cozy bedding and a layout that invites relaxation. Every corner has been arranged to make you feel at home — whether you’re curling up with a book, sipping coffee by the window, or planning your next day of exploring.
Large windows let in natural light and offer views where you might catch a glimpse of cows grazing, goats playing, or the ranch dogs on their morning patrol. At night, fall asleep to the gentle sounds of nature — crickets chirping, the occasional moo in the distance, and the whisper of a breeze through the trees. It’s the kind of quiet that city dwellers dream about.
Unless, of course, it’s coyote mating season — then there might be a little ruckus here and there!

With love and respect that all that Mother Nature designs be left wild and free, the more than 100 acres is dispersed with groves of old oak trees, mountains are
covered in chaparral and manzanita shrubbery, and seasonal waterfalls, streams, a lake with a dam, dirt roads, and hiking trails. Our family's wish is to share our little bit of heaven on earth property with others who will love it as we do. We are happy to share more about the history of the more than 100 acres when you come up to the property for your next camping adventure.
Our property is located in Descanso, California.

My kids (4 & 8) said the events on the farm were their favorite part especially going to do them when the farm closed down to public and we could wander around.
Would definitely recommend camping here over the other parks like William Heise, and I plan on coming back again next year.

This is a very nice place tucked away in the canyon. It's a great location for visiting San Diego.

We had an amazing time! Found this place out of luck and it had everything we were looking for. Super quiet and private, beautiful landscape and views, and perks including good network service, power outlets, and hot showers :) The space was perfect for the two of us and we stayed in the tent space #15. Close drive into Julian town for apple picking and lunch. No complaints at all, I would definitely stay again and recommend it to others.

Weekend Trip to Campo Nopalito
We had an unbelievable stay. The A frame was so cozy, perfect for a couple. The kitchen was truly amazing. It was fully stocked with appliances and tools that could prepare any meal. The bathroom was beautiful and the outdoor shower was one of the highlights of the trip. Jacob clearly thought out every detail. I could not recommend this place enough, and I can’t wait to come back! Thanks Jacob!

I love camping here. The camp seemed to be about 75% full but was so quiet.

We had such a great time. Richard was an absolute great host. I do recommend to bring something that will get rid of the wasps and flies. Richard tried to help me with the wasps and flies. The bathroom did have a ton of spiders in there. However, it is an absolute camping experience. Thank you, Richard!

We always have the best time at Split Rock Farm and Retreat. I highly recommend this place. It's beautiful, quiet and we have a lot of fun as a family of three. Weather is usually super nice too!

Second time here with my kids. They love it! Came here from my eight-year-old daughter’s eighth birthday per her request. We were here three years ago and it was wonderful then. I always recommend coming in the spring to France because they often times have baby animals at that time. Super friendly staff as well.

2 nights at San Diego Canyon Creek
Laura was a great host, helpful and quick to reply. The cabin was very nice, and larger on the inside. The bathroom was even nicer than I expected, everything was clean and well kept. The location is a bit off the beaten path, with a short, winding mountainish drive, so it felt like a good retreat getaway from the city. Would definitely stay thete again!
