Glamping-style accomodations are available in cedar cabins or adventure yurts where travelers can blend modern amenities, such as Wi-Fi, alongside the escapism and adventure recreation of camping, in accommodations that offer all the plush comforts you enjoy and expect.
El Capitan Canyon is a wildlife corridor. For the safety of your pets and the preservation of the Canyon, the property has a strict no pet policy.

All Church Camp glamping... beautiful place. Welcoming staff went the extra mile to help me find our yurt in the dark.
What a beautiful place indeed. Stayed here for the weekend in a little cozy cabin that has everything the family needed. The super bloom this time of year was incredible so I really enjoyed the hikes through the hills where at some point I was surrounded by 7 foot flowers and weeds and felt one with the plants then suddenly spotted two deer. However I did end up getting poison oak so pay attention to what's growing around you.
We had an amazing time staying in the Adventure Yurt in December! Our room had everything we needed for a true "glamping" experience - electricity, space heater, hot water maker, microwave, and plenty of warm blankets. The staff very friendly and gave us some tips on how to get our fire started. Although it was a bit damp because it had rained earlier in the week, we were still able to get the campfire going and enjoy s'mores and a pseudo-camping experience.
The communal bath/shower room was relatively clean, though one of the shower stalls was directly under a bird's nest and had some bird poop in it. The bathroom/shower was never crowded and we could take a shower comfortably.
You can hike up the hill at around 8am and hang out with the animals - they have sheep, goats, a donkey, and llamas, and they usually need help feeding them! This was great for the kids to get some up-close and personal time with the animals.
We will definitely be going back and probably booking the bunk or queen cabin, since those have a private bathroom and kitchenette.
Overall, it was a very nice place. The room was nice and cozy. However, the Creekside Queen was a lot smaller in real life than the pictures. The bed edges stuck out and I kept hitting my legs on the hard wood. The location was immaculate. The trail leading to the animals overlooking the ocean was amazing👌. The food was really good and not very pricey.
