Perched at the eastern edge of Splitrock Valley with sweeping views of Mt. Palomar and Fallbrook’s rolling farmland, this offers a serene, off-grid glamping experience in a thoughtfully designed geodome.



Set on 101 acres, Splitrock Farm & Retreat features expansive vistas stretching toward the Pacific and Big Bear, with miles of walking and biking trails—including the on-site Splitrock 5K. Just three miles from camp, the Santa Margarita River Trail Preserve—voted the #1 trail in San Diego County—winds along a wild, free-flowing river and supports golden beavers, steelhead trout, and a wide array of native flora and fauna.

Please note the property operates fully off-grid using solar power and battery storage. Power is limited and should be used mindfully throughout your stay. High-draw appliances such as hair dryers, heaters, and AC units will significantly reduce battery life and may not be sustainable, especially in the evenings once solar charging stops. A solar-powered system provides ambient light; we recommend bringing portable chargers for any electronics. Guests may also charge their electronics in the communal area.





Outside:



Outdoor Kitchen Station

Dishwashing Station

Fire Pit with Seating for Two

Picnic Table



Guests are also welcome at the Oak Grove Communal Area, which features outdoor games, fire pits, and a shared kitchen space. On weekends, the Camp Shop, located in the Oak Grove shipping container, offers firewood, snacks, and essentials.



Nearby adventures include the Santa Margarita River Trail, the ecological wonderland of Santa Rosa Plateau, and wine tasting in the hills of Temecula — just a short drive away.

Ben started life in small town Texas, spending most free time building forts in the desert before his family moved to Costa Mesa, CA in 1987. Ben instantly fell in love with the ocean and all the best natural features of Southern California, always at the beach, building BMX jumps in the bluffs, or camping (esp. Joshua Tree). Ben's connection with nature and outdoor recreation was rooted early.

Despite remarkable career shifts from athletics (playing and coaching) to business (MBA and consulting) to academia (PhD and professor), Ben’s connection with nature drove him to create his own recreation and wellness retreat. Vetted through traveling to 72 countries and residing on 3 continents, overlanding 2,000+ mile treks across 5 continents, Ben experienced, lived, played, fed, and meditated with amazing people in the most amazing landscapes on earth. A global search ended with finding the perfect outdoor recreation and wellness paradise a mere 20 miles as the bird flies from his childhood home.

Ben’s experiences and connections taught him to value lifelong learning, exploration, fitness of the mind, body, and spirit, outdoor recreation, and triple bottom line (people-planet-profit) sustainability. These values bleed into Splitrock Farm and Retreat through Ben’s vision and hard work, where you’ll mostly find him building forts in paradise.
