Paicines, CA · 4 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Dark skies, ancient blue oaks, forest bathing, and birdwatching in an Audubon Important Bird Area, about an hour from Pinnacles National Park.
Pitch your tent or park your camper amid the ancient blue oaks of California. In the oak-studded Diablo Range, gentle breezes wind through the trees, giving you days of dappled sunshine and nights crisp and cool. Warm yourself by the campfire and drink in some of the darkest skies in the state, where the Milky Way, shooting stars, galaxies and even Saturn’s rings are yours for the watching.
Forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) is at the heart of our camping program.
Shinrin-yoku is the Japanese practice of slow, mindful immersion in nature, and a blue oak woodland is a wonderful place to try it. There’s no destination and nothing to accomplish. Wander wherever you want or simply sit under the oaks: the dappled light, the scent of the oaks, birdsong, the breeze moving through the branches. Research links time spent this way to lower stress and better mental and physical health. Also look for signs or ask your host about our self-guided tour.
Bring your binoculars. We’re in an Important Bird Area, and birding here is a quiet joy. Blue oak woodland is some of the richest bird habitat in California: watch for acorn woodpeckers, western bluebirds, oak titmice, California quail, and hawks and golden eagles circling overhead. Whether you’re a dedicated birder keeping a life list or just love waking to the dawn chorus, birdwatching under the oaks fits right in with a slow morning and a cup of coffee.
Shake the dust off your work-worn spirit. Let the celebration begin. Dance to the music in your heart and sing along with the songs of the ancients. Regenerate. Breathe and hear yourself breathe. It’s time to take time, to play and enjoy with friends and family, and to talk late into the night as the campfire slowly dies.
Our four spacious sites each have a fire pit with grill and a picnic table with benches, and plenty of room to find your privacy. We also have a flush toilet, outdoor hot shower, and clean clear water from the faucet. Perfect for group gatherings of up to 20, and just as welcome for families, singles, couples, and well-behaved, on-leash dog friends. Watch for wild rabbits, squirrels, the occasional fox, and listen for coyotes singing in the night.
Our firewood ($15 a bundle) is sustainably harvested from downed trees and branches. No healthy live trees are harmed, and no native trees are felled.
Before you come: we’re remote, and GPS, Apple Maps, and Google Maps are spotty. We’ll send directions right to your campsite after you submit your SmartWaivers, so please submit them before you leave and bring everything you need, since there are no stores nearby. If you forget something, ask Veronica, your on-site host. We can almost always find something for you. Pricing is per person, not per site. Wi-Fi is available if you want it. Dress in layers, and bring warm clothes and blankets for the evenings.
Use us as a home base for Pinnacles (watch for California condors), birding in the Panoche Valley, Monterey, Carmel, San Juan Bautista, and the ocean, or rest and relax the world away, forest bathing under the oaks by day, birdwatching at dawn, and stargazing by night. Come with your cares and leave clear and regenerated.

Secluded private river and forest camping on the South Fork Mokelumne River. The site has incredible views and a pristine private gold-bearing trout stream with Native American and gold mining history located in the Sierra Nevada foothills of northern Calaveras County. This unique property is adjacent to over 900 acres of public land and 2 miles of private stream for exploring. With a total of only 6 campsites, it is a great location for larger groups as well. All campsites have potable water spigots, 20 amps of electricity, and access to the river and cold/cool shower. Guests enjoy the ranch while swimming, floating, snorkeling, stream exploring, hiking, gold mine spelunking, forest immersion, birding, catch-and-release fishing for wild trout (excluding warmer water season from late June to mid-August), gold panning, or simply relaxing in a breathtaking environment – come fall in love with this special private ranch. After one stay, you will be a repeat guest.
PLEASE NOTE: A 4-Wheel Drive vehicle or high clearance All-Wheel Drive vehicle is MANDATORY to access campsites 1, 2, 3, and 5 - while strictly 4-wd vehicles are MANDATORY to access site 6 due to the road incline and rock and gravel road surface. PLEASE PREPARE ACCORDINGLY. Campsite 4 is accessible with a 2-wd vehicle, but the steep and longer walk to the river and shower typically required an All-WD or 4-WD vehicle. Sites have beautiful open views of the property and river canyon with natural shade in the morning and late afternoon. Although shade structures have been constructed at Campsites 1, 3, and 4, the other sites are partially shaded by trees during portions of the day. Consider providing your own additional shade structure(s) as the direct sun can be an inconvenience at each site.
Pets are limited to one large dog OR two small to medium sized dogs per campsite. There is a strict policy that all pet owners pick up waste from their dogs and that dogs be quiet, well-mannered, and under immediate control at all times so as not to disturb other campers. Please be aware that some wildlife species including rattlesnakes, skunks, mountain lions, and bears (very seldom) have been observed on the 117-acre property and could potentially be observed near the campsites. Manage your waste responsibly.

There is only one spot available at our property to reserve as we leave our trailer up there for most of the summer. The good news is you will have the place all to yourselves unless we happen to be there which is not very often and we will let you know if we overlap. This spot has a 30 amp RV plug and a sewer connection. There is no water or trash service so please bring your own water and practice pack in/pack out practices. This spot is for RV's only with a full restroom as we don't have restroom facilities onsite. This is a very quiet spot but does have a few neighbors within earshot so if you are planning on a party spot or having loud music this is not the spot for you. There is a large smoker/BBQ that is not maintained but is available for your use if you want, we have used it several times and it works great. There is also a firepit to use when fire season permits. We are only 4 miles from Graeagle, which is a great little town to explore and eat some ice cream in the park. There are many great lakes to explore in the immediate area including Lake Davis, Gold Lake, Upper Salmon Lake, and of course upper and lower sardine which are my favorites.

Valmy, NV · 1 unit · Tent, Motorhome
Welcome to Antelope Run Ranch, a one-of-a-kind off-grid escape tucked deep within Nevada’s Pumpernickel Valley, between Battle Mountain and Winnemucca. Spanning more than 40 acres of rugged desert beauty, this developing retreat offers vast open skies, endless exploration, and a chance to experience the high desert the way it was meant to be—quiet, raw, and unforgettable.
Here, solitude meets adventure. Whether you’re off-roading, stargazing, hiking, or simply seeking stillness, Antelope Run Ranch gives you space to breathe, explore, and reconnect.
The ranch stretches across an expansive section of open Nevada desert, with a dry riverbed winding through its heart. This natural feature tells the story of the land—once carved by flowing water, now home to soft sand, wild sagebrush, and the occasional curious pronghorn antelope.
Everywhere you look, the horizon stretches without end, framed by distant mountain ranges that glow gold at sunrise and turn deep violet by dusk. When night falls, the Milky Way reveals itself in spectacular clarity, making Antelope Run Ranch one of the best stargazing spots in northern Nevada.
Small young trees—recently planted and lovingly tended—hint at the ranch’s gradual transformation into a sustainable desert haven. Each visit offers a new glimpse of its evolution.
Three operational campsites are available, each large enough for a travel trailer, rooftop tent, or ground tent. These sites are spaced widely apart, allowing guests to enjoy solitude and quiet while still being close enough to share meals and stories with others.
Future upgrades will include a central communal area—a shared cooking and gathering spot where guests can meet, eat, and relax under the stars before retreating to their own camps for rest.
Antelope Run Ranch isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a launch point for adventure.
Surrounded by miles of BLM land, guests have unlimited freedom to explore. Bring your 4x4 vehicle, ATV, or UTV and dive into soft desert sands, rocky trails, and open valley plains. Whether you’re hunting, rockhounding, hiking, or just wandering, the landscape invites exploration in every direction.
If you’re a stargazer, photographer, off-road enthusiast, or someone who loves wild open places, this ranch was made for you.

Joshua Tree, CA · 1 unit · Tent, Motorhome
Important: This is a remote, unlit desert property. Arrival before dark is strongly recommended unless you are already familiar with the area.
This is an intentionally off-grid, private desert retreat for guests who value space, silence, dark skies, and solitude. You are renting the entire 40-acre property — there is only one campsite, and it is exclusively yours.
There are no toilets, no water, no electricity, and no artificial lighting. This is a self-contained desert experience, not a campground.
What is here:
A large handcrafted wooden deck
A handmade stone fire ring
A 12-foot solid wood picnic table
Exceptional stargazing with minimal light pollution
Forty acres of private desert bordered by empty parcels and public land
This property is best suited for experienced campers, vanlifers, RVs, Airstreams, and tent campers who are comfortable navigating dirt roads and practicing Leave No Trace ethics. It is not suitable for first-time campers or guests seeking amenities or on-site assistance.
Off-leash dogs are welcome. Please clean up after them so this policy can remain in place.
Guests must bring their own water, use a self-contained toilet system (pack out all waste), and pack out all trash. Desert conditions change rapidly — wind, heat, and cold are all possible. Four-wheel drive is recommended, though many standard vehicles and RVs have accessed the property by driving slowly and carefully. If a vehicle becomes stuck, guests are responsible for arranging their own towing.
This is unfenced private land bordering public Bureau of Land Management (BLM) areas. On rare occasions, someone may mistakenly pass through assuming the land is public. This has always been resolved easily by letting them know they are on private property.
Located at the base of Copper Mountain, the property offers wildlife sightings, panoramic views, and generally good cell service despite the remote feel.
Drive times: Hwy 62 (8 min), Downtown Joshua Tree & Farmers Market (11 min), Joshua Tree National Park entrance (19 min), Indian Cove (16 min), Pioneertown (29 min).
If you are seeking a quiet, expansive, off-grid desert retreat, this land offers something increasingly rare.
