Property is located in the High Desert area of E. San Diego County in the In-Ko-)Pah Mountains. 5 camp sites to choose from and one (1) glamping unit "Casa Agave" which is a small home the sleeps four (4). One queen bed, 1 single and a sofa bed that sleeps one. To the west is Table Mountain a sacred Native American Ceremonial Ground that is on BLM land. The Northern boundary is the beginning Anza Borrego State Park. The East and South borders are private land. There is much evidence of campsites and artifacts that the land used to be inhabited by the Kumeyaay Nation. Mica and Garnets used to be mined in this area as well. The property is a transitional area where agave, juniper and scrub oak thrive. Wildlife in the area includes:
Quail, Rattle Snakes, Lizards, Ravens, Roadrunners, Tarantulas, Rosy Boa, Mule Deer, Pack Rats, Bob Cats, Coyotes and at times Bighorn Sheep are spotted by Table Mountain.
Casa Agave offers a serene getaway with stunning views and a welcoming atmosphere, as echoed by many campers. Greg, the host, is noted for his hospitality and attention to detail, ensuring guests have a comfortable stay with essentials like hot water and a fire pit. The peaceful surroundings provide a perfect backdrop for stargazing and enjoying the natural beauty of the area. However, one reviewer noted issues with an aggressive dog and maintenance problems, indicating room for improvement in certain areas.
Casa Agave is a fantastic place to stay. Our family of four spent two nights there and felt very comfortable. Greg provided all the essentials, including an oven, hot water, fridge, and even a coffee machine!
The private fire pit and the breathtaking view of the tabletop mountain make it an ideal spot to unwind and end your day. Watching the sunset and the starry night sky is truly a magical experience.
Beautiful surroundings and a couple convenient flat areas on the ridge accessible by car. Great star gazing and eggs for breakfast from their hen house was a nice touch!
Greg's camp is a gem as other reviewers have said. Easy to find but no traffic noise at the camp. Site #4 is actually very large with several tent sites and fire pits. You can have a group of people with 3 or more tents and plenty of room to spread out. Water tank is on site and you can park in several spots there. Fire pits are well built with rocky hills all around. Greg was hospitable and helpful. He showed us the trails going up to #2 and #3 sites on top of a hill. Great get away. Would consider staying at his cabin next time.
What a magical spot! Beautiful, clean, safe. Thank you Gregg for your attentiveness and giving us the space to relax and enjoy your amazing space. Until next time :-)
Greg was a great host and made us feel very welcome. He gave us fair warning that it would be windy that day and he wasn't kidding! It was so windy at site #4 that we ended up having to pitch our smaller tent as our larger one wasn't very aerodynamic. But the view was lovely and the 2nd night wasn't nearly as windy. We would definitely stay again and be more prepared for the weather!
