Welcome to Harison Serenity Ranch!
Located less than an hour north of San Diego on Mt Palomar
Looking for a place to “Unwind” and connect with nature, however you do not want to drive HOURS to get there….We would love for you to come and experience this wonderful sanctuary for yourself.
There are many ways to enjoy this mountain and all it has to offer. Here are a few:
1). If you are an “Overlander” or a “BYOT” (Bring Your Own Tent) type, we have some amazing sites with breathtaking views to catch the sunrise, or sunset. IF this is you, please choose the “Book Now” option to the right under the “HipCamp Rentals” information to the right.
2). If you are more of a “Roughing it easy (ier)” type, check out one of the properties below. These include Heavy Duty Canvas style “Yurts” and “Walled Tents” (YES with Queen Size Beds, Linens, Comforters and Pillows (oh My!). Need a bit more “protection” from the weather.
Step it up a notch in a “Sleep Pod” type adventure, such as the “Tiny Home” units to get you “out of the elements” while keeping you right in the center of the magic.
There are also a few house type structures so if you have a family, or need the “bunk house” for a larger group, there are options.
Whichever you choose, you are sure to experience an amazing spot in nature to build memories that will hopefully last a lifetime.
Each has it’s own unique charm. We look forward to sharing this amazing experience with you and your friends and/or family.

Coyote Mating Season...What you need to know!
This time of year on the mountain, you can hear more sights and sounds. As the nights get colder, it becomes mating season for our Coyote friends on the mountain. With this in mind, if you are bringing your own furry friends with you, please be extra mindful of where they are at all times. Coyotes hunt in packs, so please be aware of your surroundings and the wellbeing of your family and your companions.
