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.

Dome Home under the Queen Palms

The place provided us with exactly what we needed. The host was nice and responsive. I would go back and recommend that spot.

Dome Home under the Queen Palms

Loved our stay here! Dome Home has everything you need for a great glamping experience. Stunning views, peace and quiet and best of all, no WiFi or cell reception. Loved being off grid with our kids for a couple days.

Hilltop Lodge Tiny House

Worth every penny

I booked this last minute for one night. Wanted to get a quick family summer trip in a before school started. Getting there is a little bit difficult as you can’t use navigation and it’s dirt roads. However once you’re there immaculate! The views are incredible the outdoor shower was amazing!! The attention to detail by the owner really makes an exceptional experience. For under $200 a Night ALL IN it’s a steal. If you have a dog(s) or Dogs; all the more reason to go here! I think the dogs had more fun than we did and we had a blast. With it being a short drive away from San Diego it feels like its a world away. The owner was great, the site was great And i highly reccomemd To just book it if you find an opening. We stayed at the hilltop location.

Dome Home under the Queen Palms

We had a great visit. We didn’t have cell service but with such beautiful surroundings, a great kitchen to cook in and a few games we found at the site to play, we found it a refreshing change of pace. Its proximity to both the ocean and wineries was fantastic and Fallbrook is a great little town for amazingly fresh produce. We appreciate that the host has created such a lovely space to share with others.

Hilltop Lodge Tiny House

Thoughtfully set up off grid glamping! I would revisit again on another day when they aren’t firing artillery at Camp Pendleton, my doggie was scared. We had a great time regardless and would recommend!!

Hilltop Lodge Tiny House

My wife and I visited Hilltop Lodge for the fourth time and loved our stay! This year we brought our 5 months old puppy and our two other dogs and they also loved it too! We appreciated the annual upgrades at the lodge. This has become our yearly tradition, and we're already looking forward to the next trip and seeing the next upgrades!
