The photos don’t do it justice the views are spectacular and the host is incredibly gracious 

This place is absolutely gorgeous 

Where to begin?! Absolutely book your trip here, we had a life changing experience here! Essentially a private mountain top with views above the clouds — seeing the clouds roll in was unreal. We had 25 people across the multiple levels of campgrounds with plenty of room to spare. Mazen, the host, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly throughout the weekend. Showers were hot no matter how many people took them, multiple bathrooms and kitchens/fridges makes for a luxury group camping experience. A/C in the house is great for cooling off from heat. 5 min drive to Ortega Falls, which creates a magical hike when the waterfall is running, and it’s an easy outing in the area. Can not recommend this place enough, 10/10 we will be coming back!

INCREDIBLE! 

We couldn't find any campgrounds, after calling multiple places we came across "The Secret Place". They have the best views I have ever experienced! Especially during sunset and as the city lights start to twinkle. 
Very nice and quiet place. No full hookups, but good bathrooms and showers available. The camp host was knowledgeable about the area and recommended great things to do. Very helpful, very respectful and very friendly. Will definitely stay here again, made our honeymoon trip very memorable!  A+ recommend.

Friendly, knowledgeable and respectful hosts, best views I have ever experienced.

Although we booked a campsite, it felt more like we were invited to Mazen's home. He was communicative and responsive, happily answered all of our questions, and was beyond generous. I can't say enough about the beautiful views of Lake Elsinore! We can't wait to visit this campground again!

Peaceful, Private, Beautiful

Well secluded sites each with an incredible view!
