San Diego Mountain Lodge is a beautiful escape to nature sprawled out over about 40 acres on a breathtaking spot that we call Hideout Mountain in Santa Ysabel, CA. Multiple experiences are offered: -- glamping in our vintage camper trailers, -- RV sites with full hookups and incredible views of Lake Henshaw -- campsites, -- luxury camping in our remodeled cabins (studio, 1br, and 2br cabins) each with different amenities ranging from full kitchens, wood burning fireplaces, large outdoor decks and private fire pits. Gather and share ideas with fellow guests at our community firepit and picnic tables. What makes Hideout Mountain a magical place? #1 on the list are the stunning views as far as the eye can see of Lake Henshaw and the valley and surrounding mountains. We also have a one-of-a-kind, world renowned restaurant and bar on the property: Josie's Hideout Saloon, open on weekends with live music. We are located just a few minutes drive away from downtown Santa Ysabel and Julian, with easy access off Hwy 76.

Great stay
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!

The Real Teal -VCT#1 - Pet Free
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.

Hidden Gem
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!

The Cove#2: OakTree Shaded Campsite
Beautiful getaway from Busy SoCal!!
Right next to a motorcycle club on a mountain with lots of other cabins and tent camping spots. There’s beautiful views of the land with many cows mooing their lives away. I loved the area and will definitely be coming back to relax and recover from the California city life. (I’m a country boy at heart)

Great view of the lake and valley. Felt private. Perfect for one person or a couple. My guest stayed one night on the dining room settee and it was quite cramped.

RV Campsite #14 - Lake View Oasis
Great storybook type campground.
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.
