VISION
Alter Experiences LLC is a glamping & nature travel company based out of San Diego, CA. We're dedicated to creating meaningful experiences in nature & getting people outdoors.
We offer high altitude glamping retreats in the Cleveland National Forest, as well as cross-border experiences in Baja California.
Our glamping sites are nestled in the high mountain forests of San Diego's backcountry - sky islands where pristine nature & wild-life thrives. These are some of the most remote & biologically diverse habitats in all of Southern California.
Our sites in Baja are along the majestic Sea of Cortez - one of the most biologically diverse marine habitats on the planet!
Our sites are handpicked to offer you a truly nature immersive experience. We strive to create the most comfortable outdoor experiences, even at our most remote locations. We take all that's fun about traditional camping & combine it with modern comfort & state of the art equipment.
We offer various accommodation styles depending on location. Our Tentsile tree tents are definitely the most popular - a lightweight tree house that uses 3 anchor points to create a "living space" suspended between trees. Our elevated tree tents bring a whole new dimension to camping.
Our plush & cozy bell tent was designed with the ultimate comfort in mind! It feature all the amenities you can expect at a hotel & redefines the outdoor hospitality experience.
Our Hacienda in San Felipe is located a mere 4 hours from San Diego and offers a more cultural experience in the heart of San Felipe, next to various restaurants and the San Felipe Brewing Co. You can learn more about our Baja program here.
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN NATURE
We founded Alter Experiences out of our love & passion for nature travel & the great outdoors. We believe in the healing & regenerative powers of nature immersive experiences.
It’s a mission that we’re very passionate about & the principles we founded our business on. Our glamping retreat in Mount Laguna immerses you in giant oak & pine trees in the Cleveland National Forest. We have a fleet of bikes that you can rent to explore the nearby trails and meadows.
Our Baja experiences are diverse and include marine life interactions, as well as tours down the coastline to Los Cabos. We manage a beautiful Hacienda in San Felipe along the majestic Sea of Cortez, which you can book here.
