Moonlight Camp Area is a beautiful section of the property just down the road from our Overlook sites. They offer maximum wind protection on gusty days, have large clearings for extra camp gear, and aren’t too far from the guest hangout area. Site 1 is great for easy access to the guest hangout for even more space to enjoy, and also has a wind protected fire pit area. Site
Moonlight Camp Area is a beautiful section of the property just down the road from our Overlook sites. They offer maximum wind protection on gusty days, have large clearings for extra camp gear, and aren’t too far from the guest hangout area. Site 1 is great for easy access to the guest hangout for even more space to enjoy, and also has a wind protected fire pit area. Site two has one of the largest and flattest camp clearings on the property and would be great for multi-tent setups.
Each site allows for 2WD vehicles to park at the top of a short truck trail less than 50 ft down to the site. AWD vehicles can drive down directly onto the site clearings. For larger groups or max space to spread out, guests can book both sites for a huge portion of the property. Each of the Moonlight sites are furnished large steel fire pits with spark screens and stainless-steel grill inserts. Guests will also have a commercial grade picnic tables for 10, and a 10x10 ft. raised wooden camp platform for you to use for tents, canopies, cowboy camping or stargazing.
Come see why The Preserve at Aguanga Ranchos is one of the most reviewed and highest rated camps in SoCal!

It was a really nice place to stay. Thought the guest meeting area was super cute. Good if you’re camping solo or in a big group. As a solo female camper I felt super safe. Not super isolated but also not super congested with campers so a good in between.
Awesome place me my girlfriend and dog loved it moonlight #2 is the spot to be at!!!! My only complaint is that there is only one restroom for all the camp sites and no shower but hey it is camping right! I do recommend putting that aside and just going, we can’t wait to go back honestly
It was a very chilled tent camping experience. Super easy to get there and even when it’s busy you find enough privacy.
Great camping option for those new to camping like my husband and I. Sunset was beautiful.
Very nice spot with privacy and great views. This was our first time camping with two little kids and we couldn’t have asked for a better location! The stars were amazing!
Bob’s property was amazing. The views for sunrise and sunset were stunning. Bob was a great/very accommodating host. He was quick to respond to all messages. All the instructions we’re easy to follow and made perfect sense upon arrival. We will 1000% be returning and definitely recommend staying here!
We drove in from Redondo beach ,great views lots of open land .host Bob was very helpful can’t wait for a return visit this fall

Sorry for the inconvenience Cory. We ended up getting the two puppies back to the owner and they are now safe and sound.
