Discover Splitrock: A Glamping Escape in San Diego’s Scenic Mountain Range

We all crave an escape from the daily grind - a place where we can disconnect, unwind, and reconnect with nature. But let’s face it, as much as we love the idea of an outdoor adventure, “roughing it” doesn’t always sound like the ideal vacation.

That’s where Branch Out Glamping comes in. We’ve created a way for you to live out that dream getaway, immersed in the beauty of nature, without sacrificing the comforts of modern hospitality. It’s the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and cozy luxury, where you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

We're proud to introduce our newest glampaway destination: Splitrock Farm and Retreat. Located in the breathtaking mountain landscape of Northern San Diego, California. Splitrock offers a peaceful, extraordinary glamping experience like no other.

Whether you’re looking to unwind in style or embark on an outdoor adventure, Splitrock has something for everyone. This hidden gem sprawls across 101 scenic acres, with views that stretch from Mt. Palomar to the Pacific Horizon, offering an unbeatable backdrop for your next getaway.

Our Unique Glamping Tents

Currently, we offer two stunning glamping tents at Splitrock: Palomar Vista and The Portal - each designed with comfort, style, and breathtaking views in mind.

Palomar Vista is perched at the eastern end of Splitrock Valley, offering jaw-dropping sunrise views over Mt. Palomar and the surrounding farmland. This spacious wall tent features a cozy queen-sized bed, a charming seating area, and a rustic coffee station for enjoying your morning brew while soaking in the serene landscape.

Step outside and you’ll find a private bistro table and firepit, the ideal spot to unwind as the sun sets behind the mountains.

Meanwhile, The Portal offers a slightly different vibe, with a cozy yet elegant feel perfect for those looking to relax and recharge. Tucked away in a tranquil corner of the property, with views of trees climbing the mountain's edge, The Portal offers the perfect retreat.

Inside, you'll find a cozy queen-sized bed and a rustic wooden coffee station, while outside, a charming deck invites you to relax and take in the peaceful beauty of Splitrock.

Both of these tents come equipped with all the essentials for a memorable stay, from fresh linens and towels to cozy seating areas and charming outdoor spaces for dining, relaxing, or stargazing.

Furthermore, with Splitrock’s extensive walking and biking trails, you’ll have plenty of ways to enjoy the great outdoors, from the Splitrock 5K to group hikes and yoga events, including peaceful sound baths.

Meet the Maker and Host of Splitrock

At Branch Out Glamping, we’re all about creating connections—not just with nature, but with the people and places that make each location special.

We partner with property owners like Ben, who is passionate about combining outdoor recreation, wellness, and sustainable living. Ben’s vision for Splitrock Farm and Retreat is to build a place where guests can truly recharge, explore, and connect with nature.

What are the Splitrock Rocks?

Splitrock Farm and Retreat draws its name from the dramatic Splitrock formations found throughout the property. These iconic boulders, naturally cleaved over centuries by weathering and tectonic forces, tell a powerful story of the Earth's dynamic history.

These geological wonders are the backdrop to a glamping experience that blends natural beauty with immersive tranquility. The Splitrock Portal campsite is set in the heart of the valley, directly facing the legendary split rock featured in the property's logo. 

This serene location is enhanced by a nearby natural spring and creek, which flows seasonally beneath a canopy of majestic live oaks. The landscape’s unique mix of palms, towering boulders, and lush greenery evokes a scene straight out of Jurassic Park.

Beneath Splitrock Farm's highest peak at 1,477 feet, Peaceful Valley lives up to its name with its tranquil ambiance and towering boulders, including one that symbolically forms a "V" for victory. From here, guests can take in sweeping vistas of San Diego County, rolling meadows of abandoned avocado groves, and even the Pacific Ocean on the horizon.

Both locations offer access to over six miles of hiking trails, shaded oak groves, and open skies perfect for stargazing. With massive boulders for climbing and plenty of spaces to explore, Splitrock Farm and Retreat truly embodies the spirit of adventure and relaxation.

Meet the Friendly Locals!

At Splitrock, you’ll also get a chance to meet some special residents. The farm is home to a variety of friendly animals, including free-roaming goats, sheep, alpacas, and the adorable guardian dogs who help protect the property. It’s a fun, memorable experience that adds to the farm’s peaceful and rustic charm.

The nearby Santa Margarita River Trail, Santa Rosa Plateau, and the famous wineries of Temecula are just a short drive away, offering endless opportunities for outdoor fun.

For those seeking a more communal experience, Splitrock also offers a charming Oak Grove Communal Area, where you can enjoy games, fire pits, and even an outdoor kitchen.
