Bernie was an attentive, convivial host. The RV sites were level and full hookups with nice foliage privacy inbetween. The farm was interesting and lively with naturally beatiful views and a peaceful quiet place at night. The only regret was we were not able to stay longer and enjoy more great conversation with Bernie.
We really enjoyed camping on Bernie and Hoa’s property, tucked among the palms. They were very friendly and we loved chatting with them. Would highly recommend.
Perfect place to stay if you want to camp close to the San Diego Safari. Very welcoming hosts, will definitely be back :)
A relaxed farm setting with steers lowing, chickens cackling, roosters crowing, and Hosts Bernie and Hoa cultivating gardens, moving soil with a tractor, sharing eggs and homemade beef jerky, also inviting us to sit by their fire. Wonderful hosts and a great place to stay. The sites are level, private and offer hook ups. Return visitors!
2nd time on Bernie's and Hoa's property. It was just as peaceful as the first time. Lots of space (there were at least 2 other campers there) and being surrounded by palm trees is pretty cool too. And it is tough to beat the hospitality. Bernie responds to any requests and tries to make sure you feel welcome. I will definitely be back when I am in the area again.
