San Diego Mountain Lodge is a beautiful escape to nature sprawled out over 40 acres of land on Hideout Mountain, a breathtaking spot in Santa Ysabel, CA. With a combination of offerings ranging from glamping in our vintage camper trailers, RV sites with full hookups, and campsites, to a luxury experience in our remodeled cabins each with a fireplace. Gather and share ideas with fellow guests at our community firepit and picnic tables. What makes Hideout Mountain a magical place? The stunning views of Lake Henshaw and the valley and surrounding mountains, stretching as far as the eye can see. We also have a one-of-a-kind restaurant and bar on the property, Josie's Hideout Saloon. We are located just a few minutes drive away from downtown Santa Ysabel and Julian, with easy access off Hwy 76.

The Scenic Sanctuary RV Site #15
Overall, we had a good experience but the site is misleading and the site manager was quite rude. We booked a RV campsite that can accommodate 10 people but we had a party of 6. We had 2 vehicles with roof top tents and 2 small ground tents. The site manager confronted us and said we were taking up 2 camp spots. The campsite we were designated can barely fit 1 ground tent so I’m not sure how can that site fit 10 people. Secondly, he said we were causing problem’s because we called telling him that the bathroom door is locked and if he can unlock it for us to use. He stated that it was never locked before and no one uses it except us. The 2 days we were there I saw other campers using it as well. Lastly, there was no toilet paper and we had to remind his twice to bring some. Luckily we had a roll to use for the night. The owner of this property definitely needs to train his site manager to watch how he speaks to customers. We’ve been to many Hipcamps and all the hosts was great. This is by far the worst camp hosts we’ve experience.

# 9 The Zen Den - Modern Cabin
A very tranquil property. Definitely more of a family environment. The whole process of getting to the property was very easy.

Bad spot
Okay So this campsite is not working worth the price. It is really noisy as it feet from the bar and there is live music on Saturdays. It is also very small and you can see into the shower from your campsite. Could never find the bathroom as they are not marked, and there is no map. There’s not really much to do in the area and I think calling it Nature is a stretch.

The Raven Tiny Home - Site #13
Wonderful space to recharge from city life! Raven House is the cutest, well laid out tiny home. We enjoyed s'mores by the firepit and wine looking down toward the lake. The house includes enough cookware, etc, but we enjoyed eating out in Julian. Definitely the sleeping loft would be a challenging space for some, but we managed to avoid bumping our heads. Communication with the host was clear and timely. We appreciated being able to bring our furry friends (with pet fee). We hope to come back!

This One is THE BEST!!!
This is by far THE BEST CAMPSITE we’ve camped at so far. It’s clean, well organized, the bathrooms are very clean, the showers anre very well kept ( hot water included) and the camp itself is beautiful!!! Bobby is a gift! We ran into a car issue and he stepped in to assist us in so many different ways. This man understands customer service! He is what makes the campsite what it is, because his friendliness, knowledge, assistance and overall presence makes the experience amazing! We are coming back and bringing the kids next time. This campsite could easily be on Airbnb and people would book it out! I know, I have worked in real estate. (Just being clear on the quality of this property!)
