Welcome to our Hipcamp located on a 40-acre flower farm in the heart of Valley Center. As soon as you arrive, you'll be surrounded by lush greenery. The sound of the creek flowing nearby will immediately put you at ease. Our serene setting is the perfect place to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Our property is bursting with color and nature, thanks to the many types of flowers and plants that we cultivate here. You'll love wandering through the fields and taking in the beauty that surrounds you. Whether you're a nature lover or just looking for a peaceful getaway, our Hipcamp is the perfect place to disconnect and recharge. At night, the stars shine bright overhead, and the peaceful sounds of the creek and wildlife create a calming atmosphere that you won't find anywhere else. Whether you're camping in a tent, staying in a camper, or enjoying one of our glamping bell tents, you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of our farm. We can't wait to share our little slice of paradise with you! Follow us on Instagram @thunderinghawkretreat

Everything 10/10
I loved every single thing about this place. Off-road to get the site. WE WILL BE BACK!! It was a beautiful sight overlooking everything. We came just in time for the sunset as we watched while cooking food. Darrell is such an amazing host and super accommodating. He took us up to our site, gave us two jugs of water and was timely with all responses. He even offered us to use a shower. The true star of the show was Benji the ranch dog. He is the best boy ever and my dog loved him. He was on alert and very protective. He also has a lot of patience as our other dog is not accustomed to unfamiliar dogs. The tent was so spacey and we added the extra propane tank which we used for our fire and provided heater. The sight 10/10, site 10/10, tent 10/10, Benji 10/10 and hospitality 10/10.

Birthday overnight camp
First,Lance was so gracious and helpful with all our needs. The tent was clean and the beds were comfortable.FYI, Bring your lantern for the dining table area. The solar panel lights were not enough to light the whole area. And lastly, Benjie the friendly dog who was there to watch us against these howling cayotes. And he loves to eat almost anything. Thank you again to you Lance(host). Until next time.

It was perfect for our one night stay! Loved having the beds all ready for us and were able to pitch a tent near by for our sons. Darrell was great and the pups were super sweet. We will definitely be back!

We loved tent camping and the place has all the setup with amazing stargazing views. Lance is a great host, he helped us a lot throughout the entire trip and was very accommodating and helpful. Definitely worth it.
