Retraite Sunshine - VCT#2 Glamping à Santa Ysabel, CA

This is a vintage retro caravan that offers a complete glamping experience! Located closest to the top of Hideout Mountain, the backdrop of breathtaking views of Lake Henshaw and the surrounding SD Mountain Range will leave you awe inspired. Staying in a little camper has never looked this cool or been this easy! Simply drive-up, park your car and immerse yourself in nature. With a mini kitchen, huge private patio space equipped with a BBQ, and a picnic table. To set the nighttime vibe we have a fire pit and string lights.



This is a stationary camper with a full-size bed. But it also has a fold down table to create another bed for two more people.There is a hideaway bathroom with a flushing toilet inside the trailer and an outdoor shower with hot water just steps away. Parking for any size vehicle.



We are a boutique retreat destination on 40 acres of unspoiled wilderness with an unbelievably cool, one-of-a-kind historic bar and grill called Josie’s Hideout Saloon. Open Friday-Sunday till 5, with live music every weekend, weather permitting.



Don't think that our backcountry locals are the only wildlife around here! This place is full of wild animals like deer, fox, raccoons, bats, ground squirrels and chipmunks. Keep a steady eye open for rattlesnakes, badgers and mountain lions, oh my! Make some noise so they know you're coming. Be not afraid, they're honestly more scared of us than we are of them! And once night falls, keep your ear's peeled for our local pack of coyotes while you star gaze under some of the darkest skies in San Diego County! We love to encourage our guests to unplug and unwind, but in case you want to Netflix and chill, we have all the modern comforts of home covered here too.



The fully stocked kitchen has all the essentials to cook a delicious home-cooked meal (once you go to the market first!) and a Keurig coffee machine for that morning cup o' joe. There is a shared outdoor fire pit to enjoy the incredible surrounding landscape, and offers the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine after a day of activities with friends and loved ones. Park it right there! Private parking spaces will accommodate any two large vehicles.



This is the ultimate getaway destination for a retreat, festival, reunion or just a romantic weekend with a loved one. Invite your friends and make it more the merrier! We are just 18 minutes from Julian and down the road from the Santa Ysabel Business District. We are also uniquely situated as a hub for popular biking, hiking, boating, fishing and motorcycle riding.
