Property details

The Portal at Splitrock Farm & Retreat Nestled beside the iconic Split Rock and a seasonal creek, The Portal is a peaceful, off-grid glamping escape set on 101 scenic acres. Your spacious canvas wall tent features a cozy queen bed and overlooks sweeping views of the Pacific horizon, Big Bear, and miles of private walking and biking trails — including our signature Splitrock 5K loop. Just 3 miles away, the Santa Margarita River Trail Preserve offers even more adventure. As one of Southern California’s last free-flowing wild rivers — and voted the #1 trail in San Diego County — this protected area is home to golden beavers, native wildlife, and the southernmost population of steelhead trout. Inside The Portal, you’ll enjoy: Queen bed with soft linens and plush pillows Loveseat & blanket for reading, resting, or taking in the views Full-length mirror for getting ready Rustic coffee station with storage and a French press (bring your own coffee/grounds) Solar-powered ambient lighting Clothes rack with hangers Fresh towels on a dedicated shelf Please note: The Portal is fully off-grid and does not include standard electrical outlets. Solar lighting is provided, and guests are encouraged to bring portable chargers. Device charging is also available in the communal area. Each glamping unit includes its own private fire pit. Step outside to your private deck with a bistro table and chairs — the perfect spot for sunrise coffee or stargazing at night. At the Oak Grove Communal Area, you'll find fire pits, outdoor games, and a shared kitchen space. The Camp Shop, located in the Oak Grove shipping container and open on weekends, is stocked with essentials like firewood, snacks, and bug spray. Whether you’re exploring nearby trails, unwinding beneath the oaks, or visiting local gems like the Santa Rosa Plateau or Temecula wine country, Splitrock Farm & Retreat offers the perfect place to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with nature. Embrace Nature As this is an outdoor glamping experience, you may occasionally encounter insects or wildlife despite our regular cleaning and preventative measures.

September 2026

Wife and I celebrated an anniversary at the "Portal" tent site. It's one of several glamping venues where accommodations are set up. I want to go back with family or friends! Cons: * Pictures make the tent site appear slightly more polished and elegant. This is a camp site by all means. * There are nearby campsites so you can hear noise from other parties (we woke up next to early risers). Pros: * Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. It has the feeling by being run by a mom and pop operator and not a corporation (like post cabins in Big Bear). * Bed linens were clean and neat. * Insect free during our trip. * Bathrooms have running water, flushing toilet and is nearby the site. * Off the grid but you still have cell service. * Hose with running water. * Great stargazing and local hiking including nearby goat farms. * Dog Friendly and extra fee of $20 was reasonable. * Nearby Downtown Fallbrook to explore the avocado capital! Tips: Bring your own campwood and drinking water. Bring carrots to feed the goats. Have reasonable expectations and enjoy this cute venue.

This was a great spot to camp out for the night and would also be wonderful for a long weekend! While they include a camp stove, be sure to bring propane and cooking pots/pans.

It was a great peaceful time staying here. Would recommend for someone looking to soak in the views and escape the city for a while.
