The owners were communicative, friendly and there to help if needed. It’s a remote piece of land, which is what we were looking for. There was a porta potty, fresh water container and open space enough to accommodate our party mixed with RVs & tent campers, group of about 30ish. It had rained recently so a small fire was allowed and the owners provided firewood. They are friendly and supportive. Thanks for a memorable weekend

Weekend Trip to BS Ranch, Home of the Big Spots

Our group has been coming to this area for the last 9 years and when our normal campsite fell through, BS Ranch to the rescue! There were over 40 of us, including kids and a couple dogs, so it was a bit of a production. The hosts were super-accommodating on many fronts. It had rained the day prior, so they brought us wood to have a small fire at night, which provided for smores and a good camping feel. Also, their son had purchased a pink Hummer limo that looked to be 100ft long... he took the kids for a joy ride and let them blast some music with a kung-fu movie on. They have a couple of shepherd dogs that were super friendly, even to the visiting dogs. They would visit at night to ensure that no food had dropped and in the day they would hike up the mountain with the kids to ensure their safety - it was pretty cool. The host called to let me know that the site was not all gussied up quite yet, but they were working on it - I appreciated that. It worked for us and we had a great time there, enjoying the beautiful night sky and some of the trails in the area.

2 nights at Oasis Ranch

Beautiful site, very private. There are two camp sites side by side but the area is wide enough to not be crowded. Camp site was nicely shaded and flat so it was easy to set up our tent. There were areas we could drive up and unpack the cars directly in to camp. The ad says no potable water but there is a hose with water which was convenient for other uses. Tubing was fun but we did find used fishing line wrapped around a branch near the bank. That was a little gross and dangerous. Definitely recommend river shoes. Our pups were happy running around and also enjoyed the water but there is a resident peacock that although gorgeous, does make a lot of noise. Our pups were curious so we had to keep an eye on them and make sure they stayed close to camp. At night, Mr. Peacock likes to perch on a tree near the restrooms so be prepared for the giant bird silhouette looming over you! It's beautiful! There were a lot of sounds at night, machines, vehicles, and wildlife. If you're a light sleeper, may not be easy to ignore but otherwise it was very relaxing. Julian was quick to respond to any questions. This is definitely our new favorite camp spot.

It was an excellent place for group camping! The camp had great amenities such as a portal toilet (spotless!), tables and stools, water (not for drinking), and trash bins. Since the weather was projected to be very windy, it wasn’t! Which I was very grateful for! I would say the two campsites are not far apart. For reference, the space between the two campsites is four trucks parked next to each other. Since I came with a big group, I got both campsites for more privacy. It was only 35-40 minutes from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Overall, the campsite was perfect!

My friends and I had a wonderful time camping at this site. It has an intimate, secluded feel that makes it seem like it’s just you and the stunning natural surroundings. Although we weren’t able to have a campfire the first night due to strong winds, we enjoyed a fantastic one the following evening. Firewood is available for a very reasonable price and lasted much longer than we expected. The site is also conveniently located within a short drive to Anza-Borrego, making it easy to access for our day hikes. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

The views were absolutely stunning! Absolutely no complaints. Super easy directions and perfect place to set up! I suggest bringing an inner tube or something to float on in the pond as this was easily my favorite part of the trip. Very clean and the property was awesome to explore. Plus there’s a gorgeous peacock that we loved to go search for as it is a bit shy but definitely lets you know it’s there! 100% recommend this sweet spot. Will be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Oasis Ranch

This tent camp option, only 2hrs from San Diego, was exceptional! It was peaceful & serene with the pond! Best part was that there was a bathroom (port-a-potty), but serviced and clean for its purpose of use. Also, the fire pit was massive and awesome with numerous seating options at the West campsite. We even had a neighbor at the East campsite and they created privacy for themselves with the way they parked their vehicles, but I still feel as though the campsite was a decent enough distance away from us that we weren’t bothered at all. It’s located on a bunch of farm land so if you are looking for a lot to do right nearby your campsite…this may not be it. But, if you want to just chill and enjoy the outdoors, this was perfect! Also, Julian was very helpful in providing the proper details needed to arrive and was helpful and responsive if I had any questions. Thank you!

The freeway was a bit loud at night but other than that was really cool experience. Fire pit was large, plenty of space for many chairs to sit around. Porta potty was clean.

Gerry was a great host! We got a huge parking different plenty of room to hang outside. He was very generous and even blew up his bounce house so my son could play in it. He also let me use his printer! This spot is about 15 minutes from the Mexacali East border crossing making it a great option on the way down to Baja. Would highly recommend!
