One of the last remaining undeveloped parts of Southern California, De Luz Heights lies surrounding to the Cleveland National Forest, and the Santa Margarita River (simply a few miles from the camping area). This 12-month flowing river is the just one in Southern California that has actually never been changed or dammed by people, and includes a state-managed hiking path with many water holes along the way with clear, clean water to dip into. On my 80 acres, there are no major roadways going through or next to the residential or commercial property. My land is 13 miles from the Pacific ocean and enjoys a reasonably moderate yearly climate. Giant stones offer topographical relief and offer platforms from which to delight in the view of the neighboring Santa Margarita Mountains. The valley views are filled with olive and avocado groves, vineyards, and horse ranches. The Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base neighbors, so you may hear some weapons in the distance on some occasions. The camping area embraces all the comforts of “glamping”: a hot shower, composting toilet, beds with sheets offered, gas grill with a stovetop, pots and pans, kitchenware, a sink, picnic table, shaded deck, sofa, lounge chairs, and propane fire pit. The basics are offered: bathroom tissue, paper towels, cleansed drinking water, towels, sheets, cooking oil, and so on. Campers need to bring their own blankets. I’ve created a network of hiking trails for especially healthy hikers looking for a more extensive hike than the nearby Santa Margarita River Trail. My trails lead through creek beds, over stones, through rocky crags, with views of the Pacific ocean on a clear day. Hikers on my tracks need to wear proper hiking boots with good traction. Areas of my routes will require bouldering with hands and feet. Expect to have actually tired out quadriceps, some scrapes, and a sweaty hat brim. The camping site is available with a two-wheel drive vehicle; I drive a Kia Specialty out there regularly. However, some pointers when driving a two-wheel drive automobile: when going uphill on a dirt roadway, try to keep some momentum of about 12-15 MPH. If you stop and attempt to start once again, your tires will draw out. If that happens, simply reverse down the hill, and try it once again with more momentum.
