​

Pitch a tent or bring your camper! Located on 12 acres  near the idyllic and historic town of Julian, famous for pies and old time nostalgia. Fort Cross is a working farm and offers many great activities including Archery, Hatchet Throwing, Ghost Town Slingshot Range, Petting Zoo, and so much more!
Many high rated trails and hikes are located in the surrounding area.
 

Our location is great for star gazing, as Julian is apart of the Dark Sky Network. It's not uncommon to see shooting stars and it's a popular destination during meteor showers.
 

****It's Really Super Duper Primo Important to read all of the information below *Before* submitting a booking request!********
 

-Fort Cross hosts several seasonal festival events, as well as regular activities the rest of the year. Each camper age 4 years to adult will need to purchase tickets/passes for whatever activities are planned for the time of your stay in order for your booking to be approved. Regular weekend activities include archery, hatchet throwing, slingshot range, petting zoo and interactive reptile experience. Regular pricing for our Farm Tour Adventure is $25 per person, age 4 to adult.
Hipcampers receive 10% off regular activity package pricing!

*Please arrive before 7:00 pm on the day of your arrival. Late check-ins are not accepted without prior approval; with possible late check-in fee.*

- All fees must be paid prior to booking being approved.

- $47 per campsite; includes up to 4 campers. Campers are considered to be infant to adult. We love and welcome infants, but we count them toward your camper headcount due to possible situations that cause disruptions for other campers within hearing distance. 
- $10 for each additional camper; up to 6 campers total per campsite.

-Only camper/trailer under 30 feet permitted. Extra $20 per camper/trailer for the first night; Camper/trailer fee reduced to $15 per night if booking for multiple nights.
 

-1 vehicle per campsite; $10 for each additional vehicle per campsite. Not all campsites accommodate vehicle parking next to tent; just loading and unloading in those areas.
***If camping during special events (ie: festival weekends including Lilac Festival, Autumn Jubilee, Holiday Hayride), all vehicles (other than camping trailers and RVs) MUST be moved to the parking lot before opening at 10 am each day****
 

-Please arrive before sunset. We are a rustic location and our area supports the Dark Sky Network to keep stargazing awesome. So to avoid setting up in total darkness, we ask that you arrive at least an hour before sundown. Arrivals later than 7:00 pm must be approved and arranged at the time of booking; late check in fee may apply.
 

-Communal campfire provided during winter and early spring months only.  You are welcome to bring a propane fire pit and camp stove. 
We have 2 propane fire pits that can be rented for $30 per night. 1 small propane tank is provided. 

 

- Well-behaved leashed dogs are allowed during camping stays. However, they are not permitted into the animal and reptile areas, nor are they allowed in any u-pick areas due to food safety reasons.
If your dog is a loud and/or constant barker, please do not bring them as they cause a nuisance for other guests. 
They must be leashed and in your control at all times, or you may be asked to leave, without a refund. 
 

-There are a lot of cats here! None of them are aggressive. We are a working farm and our cats help keep the gophers and other pests out of our garden. Use caution when preparing and eating your food as most of these cats are not shy about swiping your tasty treats when you aren't looking!

​

-This one is a bit of a bummer, but due to the fact that we are a family friendly establishment, and have had issues with it in the past, we do not typically allow alcohol on the premises. However, we understand the desire to unwind and have some fun. So if you plan to drink any alcohol, we will allow it only if you do so with discretion at your own campsite. Please do not wander the property with an open container. If you absolutely have to break that rule and risk getting kicked out of here, please do so with a travel thermos instead of a red solo cup. You're not fooling anybody! lol ;)

​

-Smoking of any kind is prohibited on the property.

- Although we do not provide picnic tables at each campsite, we have plenty of picnic tables spread throughout the property. You will find most of them near the covered pavilion. Here, you are welcome to wash your dishes in the deep sink.

​

-Fort Cross is located right off of Hwy 78 and there are a few really fun businesses located nearby. There are occasionally nights when live music is played at one of the nearby establishments. Please feel free to reach out to inquire when those dates might be. We will try to keep up with the schedule for that on our website as it is made known to us.

​

-Sorry for all of the rules. We really do look forward to having you with us and hope we can provide a wonderful stay for you!
