This 150 acre slice of heaven contains an isolated private perennial stream that has run the last two years from January to July. Located down a bumpy dirt road off of Highway 94 Dutchman Canyon is at 1300 feet above sea level, The temperature in Dulzura remains nice year round. There are many Oaks, Sycamores, Eucylptus, Pepper and Pine Trees on the property. The fire road has been cleared to the top of the grade and a slight ocean view is available down the Otay Valley Road view line for hikers or mountain bike enthusiasts. A hiking trail has also been cleared to a stand of Eucylptus trees on the hillside with a pond area at their base on the west facing slope. The Dulzura winery is located across the valley and we are only 1/8 mile from the General Store of Dulzura. The Tecate Border crossing to Mexico is 10 miles south of the property. Located a few miles west of Deer Valley we have deer in the canyon year round looking for fresh water from the creek.

North Creek Car Camp With Tent
This area was so gorgeous! There was only one other group there and it felt super secluded and quiet. Phillip was super accessible and happy to show us around and point us up to a beautiful sunset hike and the pond. The pond was a little dried out when we visited as it was the summer when we visited, but there was a lake not too far away that we were able to sit by on the way out.

South Creek Car Camp With Tent
Great host!
Philip and his site were great! I had to reschedule my visit due to sick kids and he was more than accommodating. His property has a couple nice mellow hikes that I enjoyed while I was there.

Stone House Creek
Rustic and undisturbed valley.
Rustic and undisturbed valley with many nooks and crannies to camp in. If you want to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere with lots of privacy…this is it. Philip is an unwavering and caring host who was always there for us. The best outhouse view I have ever seen :)

Ranchers Hillside With Tents
Beautiful property to stay at!
Me and my friends booked the Ranchers Hillside tent spot on Philips property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful property, with 360 degree views, Surrounded by huge rocky mountains and a good variation of foliage and trees on site as well. The creek was all dried up when we went, but to be expected in early June. The water was flowing further down the creek, but was to overgrown to access the water. Would reccomend bringing some sort of 'Shade' at this particular spot, zero shade all day at our campsite, we survived under our hammock. But multiple trails to explore and worth the stay, Shade or not! We had a blast, and would totally come back down the road, Would reccomend for a couple night get away from the world. Total, 100% privacy too, There was 1 other campsite with people on site when we came, but never saw or heard them. We took a drive up the fire road on the property, Beautiful views to be seen. Caught a bitchin sunset up on the Hill as well. The post says 2WD accessible, which is true, but dont expect to bring a honda civic up there, the hill was very steep getting up to our site, very narrow roads and a few dips that would be tricky for lower profile vehicles. Thankfully we chose to leave a car near the bottom of the hill from our group, and took the 4wd fourrunner up to the camp spot to save any headaches on the road!

North Creek Corral Camp With Tents
Beautiful area with a creek, pond, and some cool ruins nearby. Bundled up with sleeping bags and blankets, we were able to hammock from a tree by a dried creek bed (Which was great because it meant no mosquitoes, but we could still walk to a gorgeous pond!). Our host was extremely welcoming and accommodating. Even as three women camping by ourselves, we felt very safe.
