A NATURE SANCTUARY IN THE MOUNTAINS.
Welcome to Hideout Mountain, a magical outdoor retreat situated amidst 40 acres of lush oak, cedar & pine trees, offering views of Palomar Mountain, Lake Henshaw, Cleveland National Forest and surrounding valleys. Only about an hour from San Diego and two hours from L.A., Hideout Mountain offers a perfect scenario for your dreamed getaway. Step into nature and return to what matters: the earth, and your own rhythm.
SAN DIEGO'S BEST KEPT SECRET
Behind The Hideout Saloon—an old western-style bar and restaurant that used to be a lively stop in the 1950s — lies a quiet stretch of land where a spring-fed creek moves gently through the hills. Tucked among the trees are restored cabins, trailers, and campsites, including an adobe house built in the traditional style of Southern California.
Originally a fisherman’s basecamp for excursions to nearby Lake Henshaw, the property has been thoughtfully reimagined. Today, you’ll find a collection of restored wooden cabins, cozy trailers, and welcoming campsites, all anchored by the historic Adobe House—an architectural nod to Southern California’s roots.
This land carries a quiet history and timeless beauty. It’s easy to get lost in its winding trails, shaded by oaks and pines, while a symphony of birdsong plays overhead.
