Splitrock Farm and Retreat offers guests access to 101 acres of land, which includes beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean to the southwest and Big Bear and Mount Jacinto to the northeast. Hipcamp named Splitrock its #1 Glamping site in America for 2023. Guests have access to 6+ miles of walking and biking trails, including the Splitrock 5K (3.12 miles) that covers most of the property and all the key features and viewpoints. Splitrock is located 5 miles from downtown Fallbrook, 14 miles from wine tasting in Temecula, and a mile east of Camp Pendleton Nature Preserve.
There are currently 10 campsites at Splitrock Farm and Retreat that are bookable via Hipcamp, Airbnb, and VanLife Campgrounds. The campsites vary from communal tent camping to unique glamping. Preview the campsites at our website www.splitrock.camp.
We prefer the Camp Host to live on-site, which is a bonus for the position for those seeking this lifestyle. Park your own van, RV, or tiny home. Or, we have a RV that we can barter.
