Operation #KickstartGlampingSanDiego

Operation #KickstartGlampingSanDiego was successfully funded on March 31, 2019. We raised over $27,000 thanks to the help of our backers, family, friends and supporters. This campaign was a major stepping stone for outdoor hospitality growth in San Diego.

 
Operation #KickstartGlampingSanDiego

We launched our Kickstarter campaign towards the end of February with this feature video. We had been preparing for the campaign and sharing little sneak peaks leading up to March 1, 2019, in preparation for the actual launch date. The video was very well received and set the tone for our campaign launch.

Sky Island | A Mountain Journey

This was probably our favorite video and we got so lucky to have had this much snowfall, just as we were getting ready to launch the campaign. It very much reminded us of the first winter we moved up here just over 2 years ago, which was another record snow year for our San Diego Mountains.

 
Behind the Scenes - Sky Island | A Mountain Journey

Here's some of our behind the scenes footage from our latest video - Sky Island | A Mountain Journey. It's a rare occurrence to have this much snowfall in the San Diego Mountains and we tried to capture every beautiful moment of it.

Cabo San Lucas Retreats

Cabo San Lucas - Baja California, Mexico. At the very tip of the Baja peninsula is the vibrant resort city of Los Cabos. This extremely unique region is where the Sea of Cortez and Pacific Ocean meet. It is a habitat to a wide a range of wildlife, including rays, sharks, birds, and many fish species, such as mahi-mahi (dorado), and striped marlin. In the winter, pods of whales can be observed in the area. They bear their calves in the warm waters of the Gulf of California after completing their 6000-mile migration from Alaska and Siberia. It's an incredible destination featuring miles of white sand beaches and turquoise blue waters. It's considered one of Mexico's top 5 tourism locations. We're thinking it's an ideal location for an outdoor hospitality experience. Who's in?

Glamping in Baja

Bahia San Luis de Gonzaga - Baja California, Mexico. In our on-going search for pristine and remote destinations to host our glamping retreats, we came upon this gem just south of San Felipe on the Sea of Cortez. The combination of off-shore islands, mangroves and warm waters make this an ideal habitat for a wide diversity of marine life and various other species. This sheltered bay is an oasis along the beautiful Sea of Cortez and serves as a resting ground for dolphins, whales and other pelagic species. Who wants to get away from it all and glamp out at this beautiful destination? Well you’re in luck beacause plans are already in the works for the first glamping retreat along the Sea of Cortez. More info coming soon.
