Youth & Group Camping
Welcome to Palomar Unplugged!
Originally called “Campo Contento” - Bailey’s 60 acre resort has been
hosting campers for over a century now, and our family tradition of a
quality outdoor experience carries on to this day. We offer a traditional
camping experience in a wonderfully natural mountain top environment.
Our group campsites are open to friends, clubs, churches, scouts, and
any gathering of outdoor enthusiasts that are looking for a private,
gated, safe, quiet and comfortable nature experience.
Baileys Group Camp is nestled under a hundred foot forest canopy of
mixed conifers and hardwoods on the edge of our lower meadow and
fish pond. A central fire pit ringed by split log benches is guarded over
by our traditional totem pole “Big Dan” - and makes a great gathering
spot for your group of friends.
Nearby are flush toilets, cold water showers, and individual campsites
each with its own table and fire pit - plus the camp is supplied with the
finest drinking water on the planet!
A number of our Historical Cottages and Luxury Campsites are just a
short walk away from the group camp sites, and across the valley is
Bailey House (formally Palomar Hotel), and our historic Dance Hall and
General store - now our private museum. Combined with our outdoor
wedding venue, our group camp is a world class, mountain top
destination gathering place unmatched in SoCal!
Unlike public campgrounds, Baileys is private, and family owned and
operated. We caterer to like-minded, family oriented groups and
maintain a quiet and respectful environment for all our guests. There
are no “drop-in” users, and advance reservations are required. We are
doggie friendly (leash at all times, please).
Sorry, we are not equipped for large RVs and have no hookups. No
stereos are permitted - but we do welcome acoustical music of all
stripes!
Our traditional group camp sites are open from May through October
each year, and we can take reservations up to two years in advance.
We would be happy to with meet by appointment (no drop-ins please)
to tour our facility and talk with you about hosting your group campout.

family resort please click here for Reservations.
Thank you for your interest in Luxury Camping at our place, we look
forward to hearing from you!
