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

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.

Casa Agave is a fantastic place to stay. Our family of four spent two nights there and felt very comfortable. Greg provided all the essentials, including an oven, hot water, fridge, and even a coffee machine!
The private fire pit and the breathtaking view of the tabletop mountain make it an ideal spot to unwind and end your day. Watching the sunset and the starry night sky is truly a magical experience.
