About Stallion Oaks Ranch
Find space and stillness on 240 acres of oak-studded backcountry in Descanso. Stallion Oaks Ranch is a peaceful sanctuary tucked away in the foothills, offering a grounded escape for campers, hikers, and groups. Whether you're seeking a moment of reflection at our Peace Pole, walking our labyrinth, exploring our winding trails, or using the Ranch as a basecamp for a rugged trek to the PCT, you’ll find a sacred environment designed for unplugging and renewal. ACCOMODATIONS FOR EVERY TRAVELER: RV Sites: We offer a selection of full-hookup sites (water, power, and sewer) and dry RV sites nestled among the oaks. Tent Camping: Plenty of spacious, traditional tent sites for those who want a true nature experience. Group Yurts: Our rustic, bunk-bed style yurts are perfect for youth groups, multi-family campouts, or retreats. Bathhouse: All guests have access to our bathhouse, featuring six flush toilets and six showers, providing comfort and convenience even in the heart of the backcountry. THE HEART OF THE RANCH: The Peace Pole & Labyrinth: Nestled in a quiet grove of oaks, our natural labyrinth is a place for moving meditation. At its center stands a custom-crafted Peace Pole featuring the prayer "May Peace Prevail on Earth" in over 30 languages—including the Kumeyaay language of the First Nations people who first occupied this land. Stone benches surround the pole for shaded reflection. The Barn: For large groups and special events, our historic "Barn" provides a 250-capacity meeting space with rustic charm and an enormous stone fireplace. Ideal for concerts, parties and other group gatherings. Banquet tables and chairs available. Hiking & Camping The PCT: Explore onsite trails or take the 2-mile primitive wilderness trail that connects the property to the Pacific Crest Trail (recommended for experienced hikers). The Seasonal Lake: Enjoy our natural basin that fills with winter rains—a serene spot for bird watching that changes with the seasons. GOOD TO KNOW: A Sacred Space: Owned by The Unity Center, we ask all guests to respect the quiet and peace of the land. Unplugged: Cell service is limited. Seasonal Nature: Our lake and wildflower displays depend entirely on local rainfall. Fire Safety: We follow strict CalFire guidelines regarding campfires.

Nice swimming pool, easy parking, good camping sites
I rented two yurts at Stallion Oaks Ranch for a July family get together. The location is remote and not easy to get to a Friday afternoon, when it's peak traffic time. The ranch was peaceful and ideal for our get together. We enjoyed the hiking to the lake, the stargazing inside and outside our yurt, and a dip in the pool on a hot day. I especially enjoyed that I got no cell or internet service, forcing me to live in the moment and enjoy my family and nature. I can tell this place was something really spectacular before the big fire burned the old place down. Maybe one day the Unity Church w…
We loved the view. However, we went in May, there was no one except our family. I did not see the host. There was no phone signal, if there was bad situation, we could not call for help.
Great land and clean accommodations! We came to celebrate my daughter’s 10th birthday. The yurt we rented was perfect for our group of 6!
Friendly hosts, nice yurts, great restrooms/showers, lots of wildlife (watch for rattlers). Basic beds, good if you like firm otherwise bring extra sleeping pads, pillows, and blankets. Took us under 35min to get to the beaches.
