One of the last remaining undeveloped parts of Southern California, De Luz Heights is located adjacent to the Cleveland National Forest, and the Santa Margarita River (just a few miles from the campsite). On my 60 acres, there are no major roads going through or next to the property. My land is 13 miles from the Pacific ocean and enjoys a relatively mild yearly climate. Giant boulders provide topographical relief and offer platforms from which to enjoy the view of the nearby Santa Margarita Mountains. The valley views are filled with olive and avocado groves, vineyards, and horse ranches. The Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base is nearby, so you might hear some artillery in the distance on some occasions. The campsite embraces all the comforts of "glamping": a hot shower, composting toilet, beds with sheets provided, gas grill with a stovetop, pots and pans, kitchenware, a sink, picnic table, shaded deck, sofa, lounge chairs, and propane fire pit. The basics are provided: toilet paper, paper towels, purified drinking water, towels, sheets, cooking oil, etc. Campers need to bring their own blankets. I've created a network of hiking trails for especially fit hikers looking for a more rigorous hike than the nearby Santa Margarita River Trail. My trails lead through creek beds, over boulders, through rocky crags, with views of the Pacific ocean on a clear day. Hikers on my trails need to wear proper hiking boots with good traction. Sections of my trails will require bouldering with hands and feet. Expect to have fatigued quadriceps, some scrapes, and a sweaty hat brim. The campsite is accessible with a two-wheel drive vehicle; I drive a Kia Forte out there regularly. However, some tips when driving a two-wheel drive car: when going uphill on a dirt road, try to keep some momentum of about 12-15 MPH. If you stop and try to start again, your tires will spin out. If that happens, just reverse down the hill, and try it again with more momentum.

Great trip with kids and a dog

Dome Home under the Queen Palms

The Dom was awesome for myself and my 2 kids. I brought them for their first camping trip and it was perfect for us because I didn't need to set up anything, it was all set for us: beds, heated dome tent, outdoor kitchen, etc. We only stayed one night but that was a great start. My kids and dog were able to go adventuring on their own and found the stream. The kitchen was great, just a tip, be prepared with an alternative meal that can be cooked on the grill instead of the stovetop if it's too windy. The wind was blowing so much that it was difficult to even light it and the food took too long to get hot we just gave up and put it on the grill. The beds were SUPER comfortable and cozy. The land is beautiful. I would give myself an additional 30-60 minutes to get in and get out because it's tricky to find the Dome and pretty tricky to get back out as well (little exit signs would help). It was scary driving on the roads but we made it in a Toyota Highlander Hybrid easily, it just looks scary. Overall, my kids want to go back and so does my dog!

The Dome camp was truly memorable! Peaceful little area, perfect for glamping. Comfortable indoor beds, clean cooking area, and lots of trails nearby. Will definitely be back in the future!

Dome Home under the Queen Palms

The location was awesome. Felt like I was tucked in the hills far away even with it being a short ride from San Diego. The amenities were top notch. We had everything we needed plus more ! Would definitely stay here again !

Hilltop Lodge Tiny House

We enjoyed our stay at the Hilltop Lodge! The views were great and it was an amazing spot for star gazing. It was the perfect amount of privacy where you could see some of the other properties on the site and not feel completely isolated but were not close enough where you could hear people at other sites. We had some issues with the propane burners in the outdoor kitchen because of how windy it was, but other than that everything worked well. Would definitely come back and try out some of the other properties!
