Manzanita Hill is just: - a five minute drive to antique shops, Patchwork Market, cideries, farm stands, bakeries, and restaurants at Wynola Junction. - 10 minutes from historic Julian township, an old gold mining town. - A scenic 10 minute drive up Wynola Road to the Volcan Mountain Preserve trailhead, Menghini Winery, and apple orchards. - 15-20 minutes to Santa Ysabel for Julian Pie Company, Dudley's Bakery, Santa Ysabel Art Gallery, access to Santa Ysabel Preserve and Interpretive Center, Cuyamaca Lake, and more! Manzanita Hill Homestead, an early 20th century structure is under going a revival to modern homestead and community space. The surrounding woodlands are receiving some TLC focusing on forest health and wildfire prevention. There is one adventure trail onsite and a community propane fire pit (allowed when extreme heat or high winds are not forecast), because, well... s'mores.

Diana was a great host and responds to any questions you might have. This campsite was a perfect blend of natural beauty, and an unforgettable stargazing experience. The deers and other wildlife just casually walking right by you was pretty cool. If you’re seeking a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, I highly recommend this spot.
Beautiful campsite, clean bathroom, and a wonderful host
Amazing place to camp! Lovely host, beautiful town! We got see the stars and heard some wild turkey! Would love to stay there again!
Stayed here for 3 nights and loved everything about our stay! Clean bathrooms, hot and cold outdoor showers, fire pits, and the tent was really well made with a comfortable bed. I would take a few extra blankets because the nights definitely get cold and would also recommend taking your own wood for the campfire. I'll definitely be back here in the future :)
Great property, and very comfortable safari tent setup in an ideal location in wynola. Diana was a very welcoming and helpful host. We had a lovely weekend staying there.
I had the best experience! Diana is so welcoming and staying on the land was an absolute great start to my vacation. I would definitely be back.
