San Elijo State Beach Campgrounds
S Coast Hwy 101, Cardiff by the Sea
That smell of roasting marshmallows brings back childhood memories and the view can’t be beat. Cliff side on some of the finest real estate along Historic Highway 101 in North County, the campground rates will kick your rent’s booty: Why not pitch a tent for a night or two? The Cardiff Seaside Market and famous favorite Pipes Cafe are right across the street -- not to mention surf rentals nearby and Bull Taco on site for a low maintenance hyper-local vaca!

Maderas Golf Club
17750 Old Coach Rd, Poway
Nothing says SoCal perfection like a day on a top rated golf course and Maderas delivers. Rated in America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses for 2013, the waterfalls, lakes, and wildflowers will make you forget all about rush hour traffic on I-5 and get some spring back in your step. Cheers to your escape with some local suds at The Grille, located on property. It features a beer list of born and bred local breweries including Stone, Lightning Brewery, Green Flash and more.

Sunrider Jeep & Wine Tours

By reservation only, Temecula
Climb past the Cabernet into an open top jeep and cruise through the vines! It’s easy: Make reservations and grab a group of friends and they'll set up a picnic with some Pinot, help you relax with some Riesling… you get the idea. The guided off-road tours feature insider local info, back road trails, vineyard one on ones, and of course, plenty of grape tastings and wine! Yelper's proclaim: "Alcohol + Jeep + Off-roading = OMG."
