Prospector Ranch is an 1800s style ranch located right next door to the acre used for Hipcamping. The ranch is made up of their home and is also a venue for filming, photo shoots and small events. When not being used, camping guest are welcome to enjoy the area down around the authentic saloon, use the picnic area under large Oak trees and hike the property. We purchased the ranch 8 years ago and love being outside of the city in the mountains. Stargazing is a must when staying there! The campsite is NEXT DOOR to Prospector Ranch, which is our 1800s-style ranch tucked away in the Santa Monica mountains, close to beaches, vineyards, amazing hiking, biking to the beach and the city! The wide open empty lot looks out at the beautiful mountains. Enjoy stunning sun sets and Picnic under the grand Oak Trees at the ranch or maybe come by the saloon next door for a cold beverage if we are around. :-). We are happy to point you in the direction for what ever you want to do. There are so many things to do in Thousand Oaks!

We used the RV site for our rooftop camper and it was a fantastic stay with level ground. The host was incredibly welcoming and provided clear directions before/at arrival. The site had great rustic charm with plenty of space and was peaceful and quiet during our stay. Highly recommended!

This place was a true gem! Great for a local staycation. It was hot, but Malibu was the perfect spot for daily escapes to beat the heat and jump in the ocean. Meagan and her team were amazing. One night in The Fearless Mary and one night in the Wagon! Loved it and would definitely go back.

What an amazing experience we had. My son who is 7 asked me to take him camping but I wanted to do more of glamping and close to our home so Prospect Ranch ended up being a wonderful place that made us all happy. Very easy to get to, close parking, private, beautiful scenery. Love the saloon and play area around it. Did not remember electronics. Incredible host who is so response.
