Explore Julian, the Desert, and Beyond
🌵 Outdoor Adventures Near Stagecoach Trails
California’s largest state park is just a short drive away. Explore miles of scenic desert hiking trails, slot canyons, and wildflower fields in spring. It’s a paradise for hikers, nature photographers, and off-road adventurers. Don’t miss the famous metal sculptures near Borrego Springs!
Stagecoach Trails is located near mile marker 77 of the Pacific Crest Trail. Whether you’re hiking a section or just exploring a short scenic stretch, it’s a bucket-list trail that passes right through our desert backyard.
With minimal light pollution, our campground is ideal for stargazing. Bring a telescope or simply look up — the Milky Way, shooting stars, and constellations are often visible with the naked eye.
Bring your own horse and ride directly from your campsite! Our dedicated horse camping area offers access to miles of trails across open desert terrain and gentle hills. It’s a favorite among overlanders and equestrian groups.
