Pool Ranch is for everyone. It's a place for life. A place where humans and nature are supposed to remember they are interconnected. It's a place for creativity and adventure. Friends, it's also a place to play pool in the desert. Welcome to our 30-acre off-grid homestead, within an international dark sky community and hub for nature-based activities. Step directly from our backyard into Anza Borrego, the largest state park in California. The goal of our ranch is to function as an evolving testing ground for living. Building Pool Ranch prioritizes materials and collaborations that celebrate the abundance of Ranchita, and neighboring rural San Diego communities. We want to actualize the true benefits of community. Our vision is to be an example and invitation for rural communities to create income through environmentally passive, and community centric eco-tourism.

Overlandia Backcountry Group Camp

The peaceful quiet and views!

I loved camping at the overland site at Pool Ranch. The peaceful quiet and views were exquisite! The hosts were great and went beyond by offering any assistance needed. Highly recommended!

Overlandia Backcountry Group Camp

Great spot secluded just outside of anza Borrego - great flat spots for 2 overland rigs. If 3 rigs you might need some levelling blocks for the 3rd parking spot. Hosts were great in relaying the information to get to the site easy. Make sure you preload the map area in your phone. Little reception in the area on t-mobile. They provided some items on site to help us get a fire going quick and easy and enjoy an evening star-gazing. Highly recommend taking the road east to Borrego springs area. Beautiful scenic route.

Nomadland Overflow Camp

This was a wonderful place to camp! Especially if you’re looking for a private and remote location. Nice fire pit and spacious site. Really close to Anza borrego - overall a 10/10 if you are looking for some time away

Nomadland Overflow Camp

Incredible view above Anza

Amazing view, high in the mountains above Anza borrego (my app said 4,000 ft!) so be prepared for a slight difference in climate. GPS coordinates take you right to the campsite. Probably one of the most incredible views I’ve ever had while camping! I highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Nomadland Overflow Camp

Pool Ranch is a beautiful spot! I stayed in nomad land, which was perfect for needing to pull in late and leave early. I definitely want to come back and stay in the A frame with my husband! I picked this spot to land since I camped solo with my dogs before heading all the way into Anza Borrego park. I felt super safe!
