Oak Glen Is A Small Town In Southern California That Offers Plenty Of Peace And Quiet
The beautiful state of California isn’t exactly known for peace and quiet; usually, when one thinks of California (especially SoCal), they think of sandy beaches, artsy cities, and traffic galore. However, there are some small towns throughout Southern California that are actually perfect for that R&R some of us so totally crave.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

The town's elevation measures up at 4,734 feet above sea level, which is much higher up there than the vast majority of SoCal cities.

The stretch of byway that Oak Glen is on is mostly scenic land. Though the road stretches for 20 miles, just five of those miles are what makes up Oak Glen.

It's astonishingly beautiful even during the winter, which is the slow season; we highly recommend a visit while the little town is dusted with snow.

The town of Oak Glen has been around for a very long time. Some farms and homesteads are as old as 103 years!

It's so unlike the rest of Southern California. It has the mountain beauty of Colorado combined with the breathtaking wine country of Northern California, and we can't think of a more peaceful place in SoCal to relax and unwind.

It might be small, but it's got big-city charm in the sense that there's plenty to occupy your time with up here.

If you’re hoping to spend the night (or the weekend!), Oak Glen has a website with accommodation information available here. Take your pick from farm stays, bed and breakfasts, campsites, and luxurious retreats. When it comes to peace and quiet, this little township is an absolute can’t-miss. It’s got all the small-town charm of any tranquil mountain town, but it’s right in our backyard in Southern California.
