Indian Hills Camp

Deep in the heart of Southern California, nestled amidst 85 acres of rolling hills and valleys, lies Indian Hills Camp. This isn’t just any campground. Indian Hills Camp has a rich history, intertwined with the land and the people who have called it home. The Kumeyaay Indians, specifically the Tiipai tribe, were the original inhabitants of this land. They used it for agriculture and raising cattle, leaving their mark on the landscape long before the first tent was pitched. Indian Hills Camp itself was founded in 1960. Its initial purpose was to teach children about Jesus through the experience of camping. Today, Indian Hills Camp welcomes people of all backgrounds and beliefs. It continues to serve as a place where families, scouts, church groups, and students can connect with nature and each other. Indian Hills Camp offers a variety of lodging options to suit every preference. If you’re a traditionalist, pitch your tent at one of the campsites equipped with water and electricity. For a touch of the Old West, try the Conestoga-style wagons circled around a communal fire pit. Prefer a more indigenous experience? The tepees in Tepee Village await, complete with water and electricity. The Western-themed cabins and Miner Shacks offer even more comfort, each accommodating up to twelve people. But Indian Hills Camp is more than just a place to sleep. The activities here are as diverse as the landscape itself. Two sparkling pools offer a refreshing escape during the summer months. A BMX track beckons thrill-seekers, while a petting zoo delights animal lovers. Explore the hiking trails, try your hand at gold panning, or test your aim at the archery range. The game room, zipline, and paintball range promise hours of fun for all ages. Indian Hills Camp also has a dedicated amphitheater for performances and gatherings. If you need supplies or a sweet treat, the camp store is conveniently located near the pool area. And after a day of adventure, gather around a campfire for storytelling and sing-alongs under the starlit sky. Indian Hills Camp offers a unique blend of history, nature, and recreation, making it an unforgettable destination for all who visit.
