I really enjoyed tent camping on Ric's land. They have an amazing set up. The outdoor shower is absolutely gorgeous! Its a great spot to escape the city. Ric and his wife were very friendly as well.

I enjoyed the land as usual and particularly appreciated Kim’s flexibility with my schedule. I always appreciate how open it is and the fire pit. Just a good time and hope to visit as much as I can.

So happy to see this beautiful space now on hipcamp! I've had the chance to attend a gathering at Casa Zen, and it's truly a peaceful, open, and welcoming place. Perfect for those seeking a quiet overnight stay under the stars- with outdoor grilling, a refreshing rock shower, and a calming meditation circle. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to return!

Wonderful private location! 4wheel drive would be helpful, but both our cars were 2wheel and owners had no issues pulling us up!

The whole trip, starting from the comms from the host, directions to the site as well as the state of the site was amazing. We had such a great time being out in the vast desert and the night views were incredible!

Such a peaceful and beautiful space for solitude. You can feel the love and care put into the land. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unplug and escape for a while. I’ll definitely be returning for more quiet time in nature.

Casa zen was a relaxing, calm stay. Great place to get away from all the city noise. It’s located on a small town in piñon hills of a dirt road. At arrival Rick greeted me and gave me a quick tour of the place. He’s a very friendly host. Place has just enough for a city person to feel comfortable but also just enough to make it feel like a campgrounds get away. Place has a shower, picnic benches, a bbq area and a fire pit. The night sky was beautiful and the noise at night was almost non existent. Got to see a bit of wild life as well. I would definitely head out to this location again.

This is my favorite nomadic spot and really like how open it is from all angles. If you’re a camper that can bring everything you need, this is a perfect. Private, quiet, away from it all

Ric’s property was beautiful, quiet and clean. The camping area, the bathroom and the hand-built outdoor shower were so nice. We were only able to stay for a little while, but it was just the spot that we needed. Close to lots of beautiful mountain and desert areas to explore, and some quaint cafes. Grateful for Ric’s hospitality. We will definitely stay again.

The site was a perfect place to watch the stars. Would definitely recommend showing up before dark so that you can find the blue painted items.

I wasn’t able to stay overnight because the winds were too high on the day I went, but I’m looking forward to booking this site again in the near future. It was a little challenging to find just because the site itself is set back away from the dirt roads, I’d recommend possibly for the hosts to install some sort of flag or maybe small sign at the entrance from the road where to turn in. Other than that, I’m in love with that area as it’s very secluded and I didn’t come across a single other soul while I was out there. I love the privacy. Hosts were great and very accommodating!

We loved this spot! We lucked out and got to meet the hosts- Effie & Seth. They are both so kind and friendly and we enjoyed talking with them and learning about their land. The property is quite special. We got to enjoy the gorgeous desert night's sky while feeling safe and comfortable sitting outside. In the morning we climbed up on the rocks and connected with the land and the surrounding area. We have a rear wheel drive Ford Transit van and we were able to make it onto the property just fine. We had a little trouble with some loose sand once on the property and Seth was right there to help us navigate. They also provided some boards for us to use so that we could even out our van for sleeping. We will certainly look them up and stay there again when we pass through the area next time!!

Effie and Seth's place exceeded our expectations! Seth came out to the road on his dirt bike and lead us into camp. He even helped us level our van for the night. the spot is really awesome. It's a crevasse nestled in between and gentle hill and a rock ridge, but it also has a spacious open feel as it opens to the southeast with a wide expansive view of the lucern valley. We watched the spectacular night sky, slept well and climbed to the top of the rock ridge in the morning. Seth and Effie were very friendly and accommodating. Seth is building a bunch of cool stuff on their property and we can't wait to visit again and see the progress and enjoy their little desert oasis!
