Try out camping without having to rough-it! You can rent the Honeycomb Cabin! Or swing through for a safe place to spend the night in your van, or tent, while taking advantage of San Diego and all it has to offer! So much to be seen or done within 30 miles! You can plan a visit to the World Famous San Diego Zoo, Museums, Sea World, Birch Aquarium, Safari Park, Lego Land and more! San Diego county has wine tasting, breweries, theaters and eateries of all kinds. There are several beaches, mountain lakes, and even the deserts! You can skydive, or scuba dive, go deep sea fishing, or lake fishing, mountain biking, hiking, climbing, or walking the boardwalk! SAN DIEGO CANYON CREEK is a SMALL PATCH of WOODS, NEAR a ROAD, in a NEIGHBORHOOD. In the midst of the trees we have a great view of the stars at night. Harbison Canyon is surrounded by rocky peaks, with a creek! We have multiple species of song birds, owls, hawks, and other wildlife that live in this Riparian Habitat. There is a chorus of frogs throughout the spring nights, and crickets year round! It's a very short walk to the neighborhood park- equipped with several types of playground equipment and public creek access, or a five minute drive to a Crestridge Ecological Reserve containing multiple trails. We have three campsites and a cabin on about an acre of land. If you'd like to hang out on the property, we offer a table and chairs with each campsite to lounge in while enjoying the fresh air and nature. There are also a couple of hammocks available. In addition, our SHARED amenities include an outdoor kitchen that includes a sink with hot water, 2 mini fridges,(full at times, extra coolers available) coffee maker, a two burner stove, a griddle, a toaster oven, blender, tea kettle, and a few pans, plates, bowls, cups, and utensils. Also here to SHARE is a Propane fire pit and BBQ area. The bathroom now includes a flush toilet, sink and shower. We are continuously making improvements. Fun Fact: Harbison Canyon was named after John Stewart Harbison - aka the King of the Bee Keepers. He arrived with over one hundred colonies of bees in 1874 and within 7 years he became the world's largest honey producer! Today there are just a few bees in the area.

Honeycomb Cabin

Hidden gem, don't miss!

This place is a hidden GEM! Laura was incredibly kind and has thought of everything you could want. The shared kitchen has anything you may have forgotten, and the bar seating faces the creek perfectly. The fire pit was the cutest end to a tranquil day and the view from the cabin window is such a treat in the morning. We heard crickets and frogs in the evening, then entire space felt magical. This place is very special and you can see it in all of Laura's work here, an absolute MUST!

Honeycomb Cabin

We stayed at Laura’s Honeycomb Cabin and we had an amazing time. The cabin was small but adorable, and the outdoor kitchen, grill and fireplace were perfect. It was the perfect distance outside San Diego, so the nature was beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!

Waterfall Campsite

Great Camping trip with Daughter

This was an excellent camp ground by Laura. Everything was in great condition and very easy to find and get things setup. Quite nice place to camp, I highly recommend. Very nice bathroom that is great for kids or anyone that is not great at the outdoors. There is an also an excellent county park close by for kids that you can walk to.
