Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Camping @ Quail Run Ostrich Ranch

It was nice for location and price . I was there one night and zero complaints. Exactly what you would expect from a hip camp location . Thank you

2 nights at ArtFarm Movie Ranch & Nomad NeXuS

I enjoyed my stay at ArtFarm and would definitely come back for another glamping trip! The cabin was very cozy but clean. Very quiet and relaxing. Steps away from the kitchen and bathrooms which made it very convenient. The cabin was a bit warm and stuffy during the daytime, so I had to leave the door open to get airflow during the day - keep that in mind if you are staying during the hot summer months. The WiFi was also bit hit or miss at times. My one suggestion for the host is to have some signage up to point where some of the key landmarks are - there’s a lot of land, and that would have been helpful for orientation.

Weekend Trip to Malibu RV Park

This place was awesome , great views , hot showers and restrooms , the spaces were a lil tight but still a great time ! Would definitely recommend !!

1 night at The Lodge at Deer Creek

Wonderful host. Beautiful spot overlooking the mountains. So close to the beach! We’ll be back!

1 night at Lone Juniper Ranch

We had the best time here and can't wait to come back! If you have a trailer you should familiarize yourself with how to tow on steep, windy, dirt roads but it's absolutely worth it. We can't wait to return.

1 night at Lone Juniper Ranch

Hands down the dreamiest location I’ve ever stayed at. Amazing views, friendly hosts and animals. 10/10. Can’t wait to come back.

1 night at Malibu RV Park

Todo superó las expectativas. Es un lugar de sueños, todo espectacular. Las vistas , la limpieza , la hospitalidad Volvería sin ninguna duda y lo recomiendo

Weekend Trip to Cross Bull Ranch/CBR

our host was very kind, let us pick our spot with any of the open ones. my Son and I had the best fathers day here camping……… hope to be back one day :)

Weekend Trip to Prospector Ranch

It’s a very nice spot. We loved all the old west decorative touches. We brought an RV and also rented the “Fearless Mary” airstream. Enjoyed the sunset and early morning views up there. Also dined below by the saloon under the big oak. It’s 25 minutes to the beach, 10 minutes to shops and restaurants. The hosts were great. Emphatic thumbs up

Weekend Trip to Rancho de Granville

What a great site! Catherine was very accommodating and made us feel at home. The site has a great mix of shade and sun, plenty of space, and areas to explore.

Weekend Trip to Camping @ Quail Run Ostrich Ranch

Ostrich educational tour was very good, Josh is very knowledgeable and good at explaining Access was easy and instructions were very detailed and clear

Weekend Trip to Arber-Moore's Ranch

Third time staying here and loved it just as much as the other times! It's well-kept, beautiful and they are always doing upgrades! The shower was amazing and they were kind enough to bring us some fresh eggs one morning. 10/10 would recommend!

Weekend Trip to Lone Juniper Ranch

This place is a great outdoorsy experience for LA folks to have and spend some time visiting livestock, within an hour from the city. We stayed in a small cabin, which was well equipped with a bed, kitchen with a microwave and fridge, a bath, with shower, and nice extra amenities like a hammock, a well equipped barbecue on a fire pit. The animals were definitely the highlight, and we purchased a bucket of carrots from the owner so that we could feed the donkeys, alpacas, and camels. We also paid extra to use the sauna, which was surprisingly hot and was very relaxing. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Malibu RV Park

Really incredible views and helpful staff! Also really stocked front office for last minute snacks, if a bit expensive

Weekend Trip to Lone Juniper Ranch

It was adorable! Clean and the beds were comfortable. Decor was cute, great kitchen space. Camels running amuck entertained us thoroughly!! A little hidden gem for sure, would highly recommend.

2 nights at Arber-Moore's Ranch

Love this place will be back with my family amazing host!

1 night at Malibu RV Park

Ocean view is fantastic and Dog's walk is even more beautiful with ocean view.

Weekend Trip to Arber-Moore's Ranch

Very clean, perfect campground to start the summer! Ty

Weekend Trip to Arber-Moore's Ranch

I had a great time here! The hosts were extremely kind and they had a really nice piece of land!

Weekend Trip to Arber-Moore's Ranch

This was our first time using Hipcamp and must admit it was great! I really appreciate the site being on private property, so there's peace of mind knowing that our belongings would be safe. Also, the photos and description of each location were on point! We stayed at Riverside Site 2 and it was really private - and super huge! It was just my partner, me, and our dog and we really enjoyed the large space and not necessarily concerned about people camping next to us. Vivian was a great and informative host and hope to camp at her Hipcamp site again!

Wild Horizon Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents20 acres · Lake Hughes, CA

The property is about as remote as you can imagine. It is bordered on all sides by empty land lots. The nearest house is over 1/2 a mile. The property is at the top of the mountain. 360 views!! Down to desert, across to Tehachapi, and over the community of Lake Hughes. It’s spectacular, the space and peace is breathtaking. Many local people have said it’s the best views in the whole area. At certain times of year the mountains are snow capped. We are at 3800 feet, so there is snow at times in winter. The property is a working horse ranch, and small holding. We share the space with pigs, goats, Abigail the donkey, chickens, and horses. You are welcome to visit with them. There is lots of meadow area to camp!!! Please do not plan to arrive after dark. The maps usually will send people, on incorrect routes, and you will need additional directions from me.

Arber-Moore's Ranch

6 sites · RVs, Tents22 acres · Oak View, CA

Beautiful natural campsites in the Valley of the Moon (Ojai Valley). Our sites are within an eighth of a mile of walking, running, biking, and riding trails from Ojai to the beaches of Ventura. On many days you can experience Ojai’s famous pink moments. You can hike the trails above Ojai, boat, eat, or picnic at Lake Casitas. Travel to nearby Ventura to shop, fish the pier, or take a deep sea fishing charter or Island charter to Whale watch or fish around the Channel Islands. Please note the aerial view of the camping area recently placed by Hipcamp is NOT AT ALL REPRESENTATIVE of the current camping sites and shows a photo that is many years old when the site was merely land. That photo is without any of the existing amenities or improvements. The actual sites are all Larger than Federal Park and Statepark guidelines, with averages of 20'x30' for campsites and 20'x40' for a long RVCampsite. We have planted many young trees and continue to plant trees and native shrubs around and near the sites. We have picnic tables, table coverings, fire pits, and camping rugs/footprints. There is also an outdoor shower, a shower tent with hot water, and an upgraded porta-potty with a sink. Note: During times when high heat is predicted, we strongly recommend that our Hipcampers bring pop-up shade tents or canopies for their sites. The Hipcamp is adjacent to our working ranch, and any photos of old sheds, trucks, a wood lot, or other equipment are NOT on the Hipcamp, but you will drive past that property to get to the separate Hipcamp area. Wineries, Farmer's Markets, Craft Breweries, dispensaries, and more are within 10 to 15 minutes of our site. Our location allows moments when you may see Hawks, Owls, Geese, Swallows, Robins, Bluebirds, and more. We offer both tent and RV camping. The Majority of our Guests love it here: "Vivian and Dave were exceptional hosts! Easy to contact and find our way to their property. Also gave us a plethora of places to go and things to do in the Ojai area. The area was open and spacious, and many trees and upgrades were in the works to make future stays more user-friendly. Big pluses were the shower and toilet facilities—much appreciated !!"

Run by three generations, our ranch has been in our family for more than 70 years. We opened our doors to the public in 2014 to help support feeding our animals, bred and rescued, after the Powerhouse Fire almost burned us out. We’ve survived a county quarantine(2018-2019), the COVID Lockdowns (2021-2022), the Lake Fire (2020), and the Hurricane Kay burn scar debris flow and flood (9/11/22), depending on hard work and strong family and community bonds. In addition to camping and educational tours, we host private and community events, grow and sell produce and eggs, hatch and sell chicks, rescue ratites, and support the local bee population (which gives us RAW honey to sell), and are working to open a private U-pick-by-appointment orchard. We are all animal lovers, and conservationists, and try to do our part to ensure our children inherit a healthy and viable world. This is our home where we live, work, love, and play. We enjoy sharing our space with visitors who we hope learn about ostrich and make some great memories.

You will be nestled in a 13 acres with other cottages dotted throughout the property, along with private creeks + trails up the mountain. Visiting this property is a very unique experience, some describe it as “glamorous camping”. No photoshoots, parties or cats allowed. Please read the full description, disclaimer, and reviews, to make sure this is what you are looking for. **************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER: This is quite different from staying in an ordinary hotel. We are really in NATURE here - these are older cottages hand-built by artists in the forest. They are very rustic! It's like living in a mountain village, with other cottages nearby. While we work very hard to keep our places pristine and spotless - if anyone in your group will faint if they see a bug or lizard or little frog inside - then this probably isn't the place for you. Please be very careful booking cottages for someone else - like your parents just arriving from another continent - they might prefer something more conventional. Some folks describe our places as a luxurious form of camping. We make our cottages very comfortable - they have all the basics - electricity - wifi - most have kitchens, bath or shower and comfy clean beds. But they are not like a hotel with perfect walls and a sterile atmosphere. Please look at all the pictures and read all the reviews. We can't offer refunds just because we don't meet the standards of a normal hotel. Most people are charmed by this idyllic and bohemian lifestyle - but it's not for everyone. ********************************************************************* FILM AND PHOTOS SHOOTS: This is an amazing property for photography, and film, with 13 acres of rustic cottages, oak forests and sculpted streams. But please note we have special, and quite reasonable rates for filming, in addition to the normal rental charges. Please let us know ahead of time so we can work out the details.

Lake Casitas Recreation Area stands out as a unique destination, nestled within stunning wilderness areas that offer a perfect blend of natural beauty and outdoor adventure. To ensure a memorable and safe experience during your visit, consider the following tips. When setting up your tent and equipment, be mindful of your surroundings.

To minimize risk, choose a location for your tent that is well away from trees and their branches. In addition, it's essential to bring insect repellent and securely store your food. The Recreation Area is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including deer, coyotes, mountain lions, skunks, bobcats, raccoons, opossums, and numerous bird species, such as nesting bald eagles.
