Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a weekend with friends, our Mount Laguna glamping sites offer the perfect basecamp for exploring San Diego’s beautiful backcountry.

Our trip was amazing and Alter Experiences made it all possible. We are so glad we spent our time at Blue Jay in the Laguna Campsite. The tents, the kitchen, everything was well stocked, clean, and well thought-out. We love the extra touches, games, extra blankets, etc., that show how much love and care is put into the accommodations in this beautiful place. We felt comfy and cozy at our campsite and loved taking incredible hikes. Shantel is very knowledgeable about the area and gave great advice about trails. She checked in to make sure we had everything. Our birthday celebration weekend was a success. We will definitely reserve with Alter Experiences in the future. (I hope to update this review with photos very soon!)

I’ve been following Alter Experiences via Instagram for a few years. I LOVE Mt. Laguna and was so curious about the glamping experience. I’m so happy I finally pulled the trigger and booked. This is 5⭐️ camping for sure. It was so nice rolling up and not having to set anything up. The kitchen was fully stocked and extremely clean. Our bell tent was so clean, really cute, and extremely comfortable. The beds are platform beds with comfortable pillows and mattresses. The temp dipped to 30° at night and we were warm and never even felt the wind blowing. As for my two kids (11 & 14,) they each had a tree tent they never wanted to leave. They both commented on how comfortable they were. It was a real treat for them to sleep in a hammock tent. We plan on making this an annual trip!

We stayed in the Blue Jay Nest in November and had a wonderful time. The bell tents were clean and very roomy, and the beds were warm and comfortable. The family favorite was the giant hammock where we would relax during the day, and bundle up at night to lay on for some star gazing. Other friendly campers strolling by inquired with envy about the suspended tents and hammock. Everything you need was provided in the kitchen in addition to cookware. There was coffee, tea, hot cocoa, a cutting board, plates, utensils, paper towels, foil, etc.. There was even a wash station set up and toiletries provided. The campground itself was sparkling clean and the bathrooms were better than expected for a campground. The owners were helpful and responsive. We would definitely recommend this unique glamping experience and hope to visit again soon.
