Our Story

A place where
the forest
becomes your
home.

Bluff Mesa Group Camp sits on the slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains, where the air is cooler, the pines are taller, and the nights stretch wide with stars. For decades, we've been the destination for groups who want more than a campsite — they want an experience shaped by the land itself.

Our grounds span over forty acres of mixed forest and open meadow, designed to accommodate everything from intimate retreats to large organizational gatherings. Whether you're leading a youth group, planning a church camp, organizing a team-building retreat, or gathering your family for a weekend away, Bluff Mesa provides the space, the setting, and the foundation for something meaningful.
