The Real Teal (Vintage Camper Trailer #1) is a vintage retro camper that offers a complete glamping experience! Located closest to the top of Hideout Mountain, the backdrop of breathtaking views of Lake Henshaw and the surrounding SD Mountain Range will leave you awe inspired. Staying in a little camper has never looked this cool or been this easy! Simply drive-up, park your car and immerse yourself in nature at the San Diego Mountain Lodge. With a full kitchen, huge private patio space equipped with a BBQ, picnic table & bar height table. To set the nighttime vibe we have a fire pit and string lights.
The Real Teal is a pet-free stationary camper with a full-size bed. There is a bathroom with a flushing toilet inside the trailer and an outdoor shower with hot water just steps away. There is also a park-style charcoal BBQ and a fire pit. There is a 20 ft bar height table to hang out at and take in the spectacular views. Parking for any size vehicle.

This is retro camper is just one of the many options to stay at Hideout Mountain. We are a boutique retreat destination on 40 acres of unspoiled wilderness with an unbelievably cool, one-of-a-kind historic bar and grill called Josie’s Hideout Saloon. Open Friday-Sunday till 5, with live music every weekend, weather permitting.
Ask about reserving Josie's Hideout Saloon for your next once-a-year(or lifetime?!) event. No gathering too small! Your live music stage awaits! Your live music stage awaits! Imagine delicious catering options, DJs, a fog machine and disco balls! What are you waiting for?! Sound exciting enough? Keep reading for more details!
Don't think that our backcountry locals are the only wildlife around here! This place is full of wild animals like deer, fox, raccoons, bats, ground squirrels and chipmunks. Keep a steady eye open for rattlesnakes, badgers and mountain lions, oh my! Make some noise so they know you're coming. Be not afraid, they're honestly more scared of us than we are of them! And once night falls, keep your ear's peeled for our local pack of coyotes while you star gaze under some of the darkest skies in San Diego County! We love to encourage our guests to unplug and unwind, but in case you want to Netflix and chill, we have all the modern comforts of home covered here too.
The fully stocked kitchen has all the essentials to cook a delicious home-cooked meal (once you go to the market first!) and a Keurig coffee machine for that morning cup o' joe. There is a shared outdoor fire pit to enjoy the incredible surrounding landscape, and offers the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine after a day of activities with friends and loved ones. Park it right there! Private parking spaces will accommodate any two large vehicles.
