Bailes Farm

5 sites · Lodging80 acres · Fallbrook, CA
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.

Cabins in Southern California guide

Overview

SoCal may not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking about cabin rentals, but we can guarantee there's a cabin or vacation rental that will make your camping experience one to remember. Whether you're exploring the famous Joshua Tree desert, looking for a dreamy winter wonderland with top-notch skiing at Mammoth, or checking out the artistic town and surrounding hiking spots in Ojai, cabin options range from rustic pet-friendly cottages to luxury cabin stays with full kitchens, hot tubs, free wifi, and game rooms. When temperatures start to rise, you may want to head to the mountains of Big Bear Lake, where things are cooler, not to mention more peaceful. However, for some year-round action, then head straight to the heart of it around Los Angeles. Here you can experience all the bustling city has to offer—including some great hiking—before heading back to a cozy cabin.
