Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

Excellent dog-friendly getaway with great views. Cabin was fully equipped. Would love to return. Thank you, Bobby

2 nights at Hideout Mountain Lodge

Private, quiet, stunning view. WiFi is spotty, but that shouldn’t matter if you come to experience peace and natural beauty.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

The place is very well kept and we enjoyed being away the peace of being away from the city for a bit. We loved the view at the top of the short hike and how clean everything was. This was a first time camping at the Hideout but definitely won’t be the last.

Fun area for weekend camping ! I definitely recommend renting the whole cove the sites are a little snug!

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

Great location with great views. The staff are direct but helpful. We were comfortable and I’ll probably try a larger cabin next time for my son and I.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

This was our 3rd time here! First was in a cabin, second in a travel trailer, and third in a roof top tent with 2 kids under 4! Each time was a great experience. So many upgrades as well.

1 night at Stay Tiny Palomar

This place is absolutely adorable – it might just be my favorite tiny house I’ve stayed in! Loved the lofted bed - it truly felt like living out that childhood dream of having your own secret fort, nestled high up in a cozy space. The tiny house was perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We had a great time cooking our meals in the well-stocked kitchen and relaxing in the peaceful vibe of the space. One fun surprise was the remote-controlled color lighting – you can easily set the ambiance with a range of colors, making it feel like a personalized little retreat. The bathroom was stylish and functional, with all the modern amenities you could ask for. A quick tip – just remember to take out the shower plug where it drains, or it could flood the bathroom. While the tiny house is right next to the other tiny house site, it’s actually a perfect setup for groups of friends or family looking to go glamping together. You can enjoy the privacy of your own space while still being close enough to share the experience. I’d definitely return to this little gem. It’s conveniently located near Palomar Mountain, with beautiful hiking trails nearby. This place has everything you need for a cozy, memorable getaway!

2 nights at Birdsong Backcountry Retreat

We had such a nice time at the Bluebird Tiny House at Birdsong Backcountry Retreat. The property was very private and quiet and had lots of space for our dogs to roam the fenced yard. The converted horse trailer was so cute and cozy and had everything we needed to disconnect from our busy lives and just relax. The outdoor space was very peaceful with lots of comfortable areas to sit and read and a hot tub and gas firepit to keep us warm in the evenings. We look forward to visiting again!

Weekend Trip to Yellow Sands

This was an amazing time! I took my 3 little ones camping for the first time as a single mom and this was great! The was so friendly and welcoming. Very secluded out there! I didn’t want to be close to many others because the kids can be loud and I didn’t want to be unsafe. The stars were amazing! We visited Joshua Tree on Saturday, which is 10 mins away. I definitely recommend Tye and her cozy secluded piece of the desert. Don’t fight for spots at Joshua tree that are tiny and have you close to many others. Camp with Tye and relax!

2 nights at Yellow Sands

We made a last minute instant booking with Tye. Super duper last minute. She was very responsive and helpful when it came to finding the site. When we showed up and met her, she was so hospitable and sweet. A great host. She showed us around and then we got settled in. We had a little bonfire and roasted some weenies. It was pretty far from neighboring properties. We loved that. We were just trying to get away from the city and spend some time alone off-grid for my pal’s birthday. It was just the getaway that we needed. We will definitely be back in a couple months. You’ve gotta check this place out!

Weekend Trip to Tiny on the hill

TOTH was perfect for a weekend away! Perfect for 2 people, all the amenities you need while still all of the outdoor experience. Located only 10 minutes from the Saloon and the entrance to the park. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

Fantastic theme great work great people thank you our Valentine’s Day 2025! We won’t forget The Raven! Recommend!

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

We loved camping here. It was quiet, great views and pretty secluded from other campers. A great place to watch the stars at night and wake up with a coffee overlooking a farm and the sky as a backdrop. We loved how you are allowed to bring in firewood yourself, but if you forgot, you can purchase from them. Close to hiking, Julian pie, c couple cages, Julian if you'd like. We had everything we needed for our stay. Great place!

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

This site was really nice for an overnight stay! We really enjoyed the view and amenities available in the camper (bathroom, kitchen, dining area). There’s also a lookout point which has a beautiful view of the area. The site has a shower but the water was just barely above cold temperature. However it was tolerable & nice to have the option to shower after a day of hiking.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

This spot was generously spaced, offering plenty of privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. The setup was well-designed. The RV has everything you need and very clean. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a cozy getaway with great hosts!

3 nights at Hideout Mountain Lodge

this is probably one of the most special locations that we’ve camped at using Hipcamp. The way it’s laid out reminds you of how camping used to be. It feels like a real campsite, and the owners have taken great care of the property, the cabins and the public spaces. Here you’ll find amenities you weren’t expecting, including Josie’s at the bottom of the hill. Little strands of lights come on at night automatically, and if you choose one of the campsites at the top of the hill, the view of the valley below is breathtaking. if you’re looking for a campsite that feels private and safe and thoughtful you should check them out. Bobby met us when we showed up unexpectedly after booking online when another campsite didn’t work out and his friendly hello and directing us to our site was super welcome. This is a great place for chill awesome campers. Definitely one of our go to’s from now on.
