So bring your horses and enjoy the ride D & J Stables is a family run facility created by Dick and Jenny Tynan in 2005. It is located on the Kimzey Family Ranch in San Diego. Since their passing, the Stables have been managed by their son Scott Tynan. Our stables offer a clean and quiet place for horse owners to board their precious companions - short or long term - or to serve as a weekend getaway for a person or group of friends/riders. Each Boarding Corral has walking space, shaded corners, automated water feeders, soft dirt, partially sheltered sides and is in close proximity to a round pen, a small arena (turnout) and is encompassed by a small walking track. No two corrals are close enough to each other for the horses to interact, reducing the likelyhood of mishap from a neighbor. Each Weekender Corral comes equipped with the same as the above, excepting only the partially sheltered side panels, and are right next to where you will be parking your trailer or camper. With access to all 38 miles of equestrian trails in the area and less than a 2 mile ride to the beautiful South San Diego beaches, D&J Stables is a prime location for horse men and women everywhere.

Porta potty, Porta shower. Hosts were gratefully supportive.
Beautiful shady location my dogs absolutely loved running around and meeting other camping dogs they all had so much fun. It was a nice quiet location nice people not too crowded at all. We had plenty of space nice green grass and the horses and the birds just a little beautiful location
We stayed for 3 nights with our 2 horses. Our 3 horse LQ with 12ft short wall fit once unhooked in the space. We actually set up in space 4 as that was easier access to the gate into the stable area. Very clean, secure location with access to trails. Mostly we stayed here so we could leave the horses and visit our grand daughter at San Diego State. It worked well. Hosts were very accommodating.
The site was not what we expected but it was a good experience! The Hosts were extremely welcoming and hospitable and very easygoing! About 20 minutes from downtown San Diego and a very affordable place made our stay very enjoyable!
I was pleasantly surprised by this peaceful camp spot. The hosts were so kind and friendly. Brought my 7 month old puppy who also had a great experience with their dogs, Koda and Tucker. I am looking forward to my next trip to San Diego and hopefully there will be a spot for me. I would say, don't hesitate to give this ranch your business. It's rustic and peaceful!
