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.

Burning Man Bus

Most excellent!

What a fun camping setup. Sleeping in a bus was a unique touch to such a beautiful spot. So many neat places to just sit and enjoy the Mtn and ocean views, hammocks, love sac, deck chairs and even a couch on the roof. The little kitchen area was a comfortable place to prepare our meals and stocked with everything you’d need to prepare your own food. It’s you’re a 5 star resort kind of person, this is not for you. But if you’re a tent camper this would be a 5 star experience.

We loved our stay at Chris’s camp. It is beautiful, quiet and has everything you need for a trip as a family to unplugged. Our girls hung out on the hammocks and just giggled and talked to each other all day. We even saw a rare comet in the sky. Can’t wait to go back with our telescope! Thank you Chris for hosting us.

Dome Home under the Queen Palms

I woke up to incredible views every morning and went to bed with great sunsets every night. This is a hidden gem with everything you need for a secluded getaway.

Dome Home under the Queen Palms

I recently stayed at Baile's Farm Dome Home with my girlfriend and my dog. Overall, it was a delightful experience with a few minor hiccups. My dog absolutely loved running around outside, and my gf loved the spacious and beautifully decorated sleeping area, which made our stay quite comfortable. The dome itself is charming and unique, providing a cozy and picturesque retreat. However, we did find the toilet situation a bit awkward. It’s essentially a toilet seat in the middle of a barrel, and if you’re shorter, your legs might end up touching the barrel, which can be a bit uncomfortable. One notable downside was the issue with yellow jackets. They were quite persistent and swarmed us every time we cooked, which was a bit of a nuisance. It might be worth considering some pest control measures to improve the experience. Despite these minor issues, the stay was enjoyable, and the setting was lovely. I’d recommend Baile's Farm Dome Home for those looking for a unique and pleasant camping experience, especially if you’re traveling with a furry friend!
