Camping in Doheny State Beach

Peaceful and well maintained. Enjoyed the coyote yips, hooting owls, and so many stars visible!

This is a great campground! Really beautiful, pretty easy to get to, nice bathrooms. The only issue we had was there was no hot water in the showers. I did try to message the owner about this but got no response

1 night at SoCal Campground

This is a great place to get away without driving miles into the desert. You get trees and space (and wild life). They are always improving upon what they have on the property and Christopher was very helpful when we arrived. If you want time to yourself, this is the place to camp.

I had a very relaxing one night stay at Fall’s camp. I stayed in site 17. It’s very private and is shaded by mature oak trees. The site was nicely tended and level. The bathrooms were very clean and I really appreciated the shower.

3 nights at Namaste Farms

I loved Namaste farms and would definitely recommend it. It was fun to see and interact with all the animals. Hanging out at the farm throughout the day with the dogs and puppies was peaceful and relaxing. Sean was a great host, checking to make sure everything was going well. I plan to be back in the near future.

1 night at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

We loved all of the interactions with the animals! My girls (ages 7 and 9) had a great time with the goats, alpaca, dogs, pigs! We added in the animal encounter experience because we weren't sure we were going to see any animal otherwise and it was a great upgrade because we also were able to visit and learn about the chickens!

1 night at Hidden Falls Preserve

Second time. Everything went great. Will book again for sure.

1 night at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Goat heaven...the camp was fantastic for humans as well. Our son loved the goats, pig and llama! We played hide and seek in the rocks with the goats and even had a hot shower. They have put lots of love into this place and even had loads of special details (like organic treats at the camp shop!). Couldn't have been happier!!!

Weekend Trip to Saddle Up Camp

We had a great night camping at Saddle Up! We were on Site 12 which was well described and perfectly located for a great sunset view. The directions to the site were on point and our family enjoyed meeting the horses and goats! Perfect for an overnight stay. The owner was super friendly and next time we will definitely explore the horseback riding available.

Weekend Trip to Campo Nopalito

Beautiful. nice staff and fellow visitors! it was such a fun getaway only 30 minutes from a well-stocked shopping center! The views were fantastic and i found the wildlife to be unique and plentiful. delicious mexican food nearby

Weekend Trip to Magical Harrison Serenity Ranch

We loved tent camping here and loved the clean restrooms. Definitely much better than public campgrounds. I would highly recommend and would come back.

What an absolutely beautiful place. First I have to mention the hosts attentiveness and response. Vicki answered all my questions all the way from booking to check out and came by to say hello to make sure we were comfortable. There are various porta potties on site with hand washing stations, showers, and places to get water. They have a family of pigs on the grounds and the male pig came to visit us a few times during our stay (he loves belly rubs). Our site had a deck where we set up the tent, a really nice wooden table, brick fire ring, and a shovel to put out the fire. If you need fresh mountain air, stary skies, and a view, this is the place for you. Harrison Ranch we will see you again.

Weekend Trip to 2 Sites-Vintage Trailer/Roomy Loft

Site # 16 has enough shade and space for three 4 man tents. It also had a picnic table, Enough parking and is the highest of the campsites. So it gets one of the better views. It's a small campsite so you can hear sites 14 to 18 easily.

Wonderful little place. Cozy trailer in a quiet neighborhood. Absolutely recommended. Be aware that if you're a bit bigger than me (5'8" average build), you might feel a bit tight in there, but you will most likely enjoy the aesthetic nonetheless.

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

We had an amazing time at the campground! Walking alongside the goats, campfire, great views, good customer service… 100% recommend!

About Splitrock Farm and Retreat Far Away, Close to Home For more information... Visit our website www.splitrock.camp Instagram page @splitrockfarmandretreat. Tag your photos #splitrockfarmandretreat #SplitrockFAR #farawayclosetohome Or, contact the Camp Host through Hipcamp direct message or the direct line 760-645-5431. 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 Farm 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 200 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.

Welcome to Nopalito Farm! We’re so happy you’ve decided to spend some time on this beautiful property! In case you’re interested, here are a few interesting things about our farm. 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.

The sweet Aussie poked his head in our tent to say "you good?" haha It was so cute and they were extremely friendly and social! The black kitten stayed at our camp all night and cuddled on our laps by the fire. It was such a lovely experience.

Hi Hipcamers, we stayed here over the last winter holiday and I just booked again for this year as we have family in Dana Point. I have mixed feelings on this place and am surprised by the 96% rating to be honest. The biggest of all drawbacks is the constant sound of generators. ALL DAY ... and multiple sites, almost every other RV or trailer runs a generator. I don't need to rant on about them here, but seriously if you want to watch TV, stay at home! No hookups for water or sewage either. Very basic camping. Beachfront is 10/10 unreal, the further back, not so nice.. I'd never stay here as a "destination" , just for traveling through.

Reserve early and enjoy truly camping on the sand. The shore break here is often brutal just in front of the campsites - like, so rough even adults would not enjoy it. But a short walk north takes you to a much calmer section of coastline. We rented a 4-person pedal-powered surrey and cruised around for a couple of hours one afternoon. We generally like to "get away" a bit more, but for beach camping these days, this is hard to beat.
