Alter Experiences - Glamping in Mt Laguna & Lake Cuyamaca

We just had the most amazing experience at the Blue Jay Nest. Our host, Shantel, was so thorough with the information we needed to prepare for our trip. She was quick to respond to any questions. The site and bell tents were gorgeous and comfortable and Shantel provided more than expected amenities where you literally only need food and ice (and your old clothes of course ☺️) The bathrooms and showers were clean and accessible. The tree tent was such a neat experience for an overnight sleep and

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 boar

Incredible! Shantel is an amazing host and the site is the perfect combination of prime location (direct access to trails, including PCT) and creature comforts. My friends loved having beds to sleep on in the tents and still being able to hike all day. The kitchen was well equipped, so all we really had to bring was a bundle of firewood and ourselves!

Oct 21-23rd Had our first experience in a yurt or glamming. The owners of Alter are amazing. You can tell they care by how and what they have set up in their camp. Very calm and pleasant atmosphere with adventure afoot! The location is right by showers and toilets, along with several trails leading you in every direction helps provide the perfect experience! Besides personal items they have everything you pretty much need. Definitely will return and highly recommend!

My 1st time camping with my husband and it was fun! We had our own private location and inside the tent was clean and comfortable. Even though everything comes with the experience such as bedding, cooking utensils etc I personally feel like you should bring your own plus more just because it feels good having extra and your own personal things . We brought our own pillow and blanket because it gets really really cold at night and HOT in the morning . The restroom I say bring gloves and Lysol
