Weekend Trip to A Unique Mountain Retreat

Discovering this place was an absolute win for my girlfriend and I who was looking for a place to getaway from for the weekend! We stayed in this very charming wooden cabin that was equipped with a pull out bed, fridge and a small sink. There are free showers available at the entrance of the property also equipped with deep sinks for dishwashing, basically you have everything you need to be comfortable. The place was so well kept and cleaned and the best part about this place was honest the host John! This sweet human being welcomed us when we arrived late into the night, showed us around the cabin and it’s features and than later he showed us the additional buildings around his property. We then found out that everything on this establishment was built be John himself, all the buildings, all the mechanics to keeping the place running was all done by him! John, if you’re reading this, we would love to come back again for a visit! We had such a lovely time, thank you so very much for accommodating us! - Richie and Annie

14 nights at Bare All Retreat

June 2025 25ft Travel Trailer We had an amazing time camping at Bear all Retreat. Corey’s place is 130 plus acres of pure-outdoor bliss. Creek with clear streaming water, amazing views, starry nights and campfires right outside our door. Free range cows, horses, goats, pigs, and chickens, greeted us daily and provided us with entertainment. The family dogs came to visit often hanging out with us keeping us safe and our dog enjoyed making new friends. We hiked and walked on trails collecting pinecones, pine nuts, watercress and fell asleep to the chorus of the frogs in the creek. Corey’s wife Alicia and kids were so kind and gracious sharing with us fresh farm eggs, goats milk, points of interest around the area and pleasant conversation. Camping the way it is ment to be, cant speak highly enough of this hidden gem. We will surely be returning to Bear all Retreat to clear our mind and soul while camping and hiking in the great our doors.

3 nights at Private Sanctuary on the Tule River

From start to finish, it was an amazing experience. Xavier met us and was thorough with his directions. He even made suggestions on where to charge our EV and about seeing the Trail of 100 Giants instead of being bombarded by tourists in the Sequoias. Mehmet is also another caretaker. He was an amazing host, showing my family the best place to stargaze, as my daughter loves space and was excited to see stars and the milky way. He is also so very passionate about nature and is a fountain of information. The animals were a delight and made fast friends with my daughter. She had never been so close to chickens or donkeys. She also feared dogs but had no fear as these amazing dogs loved her instantly. We didn't want to leave, but unfortunately had to return to our boring lives. We will definitely be going back! Thank you again Xavier, Mehmet, Gio, and Christian (I hope I spelled that right)!

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents

This was our group's 6th stay at Gary's ranch. It has always been a great place to stay, but Gary manages to improve it every year. Highly recommended.

Weekend Trip to Okihi- Reimagining The Kern River

My Wife and I had an awesome time during our 1 night stay at Okihi. We pitched our own tent and enjoyed the environment as a whole. We will definitely be back! I think our favorite part was that we truly achieved the camping experience and then arrived back home within 30 minutes!

2 nights at Private Sanctuary on the Tule River

The host was so kind and just such a giving person, and land was so peaceful and rejuvenating. I stayed her because I was working close by and I had to work long hours, I was pretty much wiped out by the time I got back, but ending my day at a place that was so peaceful was so nice. I would stay here many times and would definitely recommend it to other campers!

3 nights at Bakersfield Farm Animals & Pond

We tent camped for our stay. We really enjoyed the property even in the hot weather as we relaxed, lounged, and swam around. The host was very responsive and the dog was absolutely adorable. Expect flies in the warm weather on a farm of course, but did not affect our fun experience.

1 night at Private Sanctuary on the Tule River

Camping in our tent along the river was magical. Xavier is an awesome person and so kind and welcoming. The land feels so sacred and we are so grateful to have gotten to experience being there. Beautiful outdoor kitchen and shower too. Thank you so much for having us, we absolutely recommend! - Nick and Anna:)

1 night at Private Sanctuary on the Tule River

Great dude epic spot thank you ! Will return soon

2 nights at SoCal Camping

Overall it’s was a good camping experience, it’s not glamping. It’s more camping with very nice spacious cabins. The cabins were clean and nicely kept. Everything inside was well kept. We did have an ant situation on the bed one night. The group site is situated right at the entrance of the campground. But it’s still quiet and peaceful at night and during the day. But having to park across the road was a bit odd. And I wasn’t informed that the showers/bathrooms weren’t working so that was a bummer. Since at that point everything is on the other side of the campground. (Still close, but with kids a bathroom closer would be helpful). But overall my family had a good time, the staff that I encounter friendly and helpful. The river is beautiful and close by. There’s a sandy beach area within walking distance. We had a great time. My only dislike was someone bathing their dog on the washing station. There’s only two and dishes get washed there. It’s a personal thing.

1 night at Private Sanctuary on the Tule River

What a beautiful site to spend some time to relax and connect with the land. Xavier made us feel very welcome and we really appreciated his hospitality. Lots of things available to use/do while there. thanks!

Weekend Trip to The Squattage in the Sequoia National Forest!

This was the perfect cozy cottage to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary! At the base of the Sequoia National Forest, among nature and the peace quiet, we were able to Retreat + Recharge + Reconnect. Ozzy built this cottage thinking of every little comfortable he could put into it including two fans inside that my husband was so happy about! And Diane decorated the cutest cottage to feel like a home away from home <3 What a dynamic duo! We will definitely be back!! :)

Weekend Trip to Okihi- Reimagining The Kern River

I loved the property, the animals, the focus of creating sustainable land, and the hosts!! We attended a sound bath event that made everything magical. The RV we stayed in was well taken care of and had everything we needed, including AC! Can't wait to come back to explore the river and trails!

Weekend Trip to Bakersfield Farm Animals & Pond

It was a beautiful area, it accommodated my friends and I perfectly (8 people). We all enjoyed meeting/feeding the animals, and of course kayaking during the sunset.

Weekend Trip to Okihi- Reimagining The Kern River

Okihi is such a magical place! The trailers were comfortable and perfect for a group of friends for an easy weekend get-away. We had a blast exploring the property, building a campfire, hanging with all the animals, and floating on the beautiful Kern River. Katherine and Steven are top notch hosts and stewards of this very special place! Be sure to ask Katherine for some Okihi eggs!

Weekend Trip to A Unique Mountain Retreat

John's place is spectacular! It is not to be missed. Very will designed. Be sure to follow the GPS directions that take you on Dennison Rd. to Summers Drive. We enjoyed the off-the grid set up with wind and solar. Good facilities and a wonderful host.

1 night at Okihi- Reimagining The Kern River

Underworld Farms

15 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents6 acres · Kernville, CA

Underworld Farms is a small goat ranch in the Kern River Valley. Surrounded by forestry land, on the Kern River, and on top of what used to be the old town of Whiskey Flat (Later re-named Kernville). There is no end to the beauty, history and adventure all around the property. Life took us to the Kern River Valley after moving out of Los Angeles. We enjoy living in the Southern Sierras immersed in all its natural beauty. The small but magnificent town of Kernville is approximately two and a half miles north of us. Our livestock includes horses, dairy goats, sheep, and rabbits: Most of which are raised and bred as our son's 4H or FFA projects. You may be wondering why our farm is called "Underworld Farms". In a nutshell, since our ranch is on the footprint of the historic town of Whiskey Flat, we just happen to be south of the old Whiskey Flat "Boot Hill" Cemetery. Our "driveway" is the road that led from the old town of Kernville to the cemetery. We hope that you consider parking your RV, van conversion, or trailer on one of our customized spots on the property. Or drive your vehicle and pitch a tent on one of our tent friendly sports. Or enjoy a stay in one of our small cabins. Regardless of what you stay in, you will definitely have a memorable time. The campground is VERY barebones and rural. Critters, bugs, and sometimes fellow Hipcampers can be sparce or prevalent pretty randomly. Because Underworld Farms is a working ranch, you will probably hear livestock noises like horses neighing, sheep and goats calling, and our protector dogs barking from time to time. We encourage you to walk over to the horses and goats and meet them. They especially like when you bring them carrots or apple pieces. The ranch has a double outhouse with a hand washing station sandwiched in between, it is rustic and bare bones. We check it to see if it has paper products, soap, water, and plenty of room in the trash bins. During the hotter months, the "daddy longleg" spiders enjoy infiltrating the outhouses and seem to spin new webs overnight. But they and their webs are harmless and easy to brush off. We ask for your assistance if there is something missing, or the trash needs taking out, or if the spiders have taken over again by getting ahold of us through the Hipcamp App and letting us know. With all that being said, there is an ambient beauty here that is unbelievable and memorable. This beauty and draw is so powerful that it causes the many people who come visit to make arrangements to live in our little valley. There is much to do in and around our valley that you couldn't do it all in a lifetime. We hope that you come and stay at the ranch while enjoying our valley. May you have a great time. *** THE PIN MAP ON HIPCAMP IS NOT 100% ACCURATE. PLEASE REFFER TO THE MAP OF THE PROPERTY IN THE PHOTOS
