The Rainbow Junction offers a unique camping experience at the intersection of Mines Road and HWY 130 in the San Antonio Valley. We operate a restaurant and we offer camping friendly meals for guests. We love the wildness of this property and do not allow cars or vehicles beyond the parking lot. All of our sites are hike in sites. It's about a 1/4 mile hike on a small foot path. We have a wagon available for guests to use and we are happy to help you carry your things. We host a communal fire pit in the evenings, weather permitting, for all guests to enjoy, we do not allow open fires on the property. Cal Fire has requested that all campers get a permit, even to operate a gas stove. The permit is free and takes just a few minutes. https://permit.preventwildfiresca.org/ Please pack your trash, food scraps can be place in our compost but please be prepared to take all other items with you when you leave. Our swimming pond is about a 3/4 mile hike through brush from the restaurant but is a great way to beat the heat during the day! Campsites have a picnic table. A dry toilet is a short walk from campsites and we equip sites with a water dispenser and a sealed container for trash. Water from our well is always available outside of the restaurant and bathrooms with running water are available during business hours. There is a fire trail along one of our ridge lines that offers stunning views of the San Antonio Valley as well as our abundant wildlife. We sometimes host speakers and educational workshops and guests are always welcome to participate in events. Campers, trailers, RVs and Vans are welcome to stay in our lot but we currently do not have hookups available. Have a large group? We are happy to reserve group sites.

A shower and a compost toilet are available for all campers. Enjoy a designated smoking/vaping spot, multiple benches, swings, a "grounding" spot, birding, water fountains and art. A no noise policy by the county occurs at 9 pm. Due to a high risk fire zone, no open fires (small camp stoves are ok).

We are situated in a rural neighborhood setting, with sounds of sheep, goats, chickens, wild turkeys, dogs and many birds nestled between both counties. For enhanced protection we ask that a waiver be signed. Security cameras are on site. While respecting your privacy, we can be seen improving the property. The terrain is hilly and staying on paths limits poison oak exposure. Vega Vortex has been called a Park and Machu Picchu due to the amphitheater landscaping of terracing.

Minutes away from National Parks, the Mystery Spot, Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk, Roaring Camp Train, Monterey Bay Aquarium, National Steinbeck Center, Moss Landing, Elkhorn Slough/Canoe/Kayak, Estuaries (bird watching), golfing and multiple beaches.

Enjoy your visit to our historic California cattle ranch while staying in one of our romantic cabins for the perfect Ranch Retreat experience. The Gabilan Mountains are calling, inviting you to take in majestic views of oak-studded rolling hills atop Panoche Pass. Just 45 minutes south of Hollister on a less-traveled road, you'll discover some of California's most beautiful, untouched landscapes. Bird-watch, paint, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings with your gracious hosts. The Space What to Expect A million stars on clear nights and crisp mornings overlooking the rolling hills through large, picturesque windows. Peaceful surroundings with minimal traffic on the area's only road. Life moves a little slower out here on the ranch, so take your time and savor the simple pleasures of cooking, visiting, and unwinding. These rustic homes were built in the 1930s and retain many original details, including charming chippy paint on the original-pane windows. We are also on a well that is rich in minerals, so expect rust-marked porcelain tubs and a distinct mineral taste in the drinking water. We are a working cattle ranch. When the cows are grazing in the lower pastures, you'll hear and see authentic ranch life in action. There may also be friendly ranch cats hard at work keeping the mouse population in check, along with local wildlife that occasionally meanders through on its way to the nearby watering hole. Guest Access Guests are welcome to enjoy the yards around their cabins and the shared covered outdoor kitchen at any time. Please do not enter any of the white outbuildings or the areas behind them. With permission, guests may access the ranch trails outside of the PG&E camp. A signed liability waiver is required, and guests must text us to check in and out. Other Things to Note We welcome well-behaved, well-socialized, vaccinated pets. Please note that this is a pet-friendly property with other animals on-site, so your pets must be friendly and kept on a leash at all times. Pets may not be left unattended in the house while you are away from the compound area.

Weekend Trip to Sacred Owl Land

We had a great time in the glamping tent at Sacred Owl Land! Vaza and Ludo were so kind, welcoming, and helpful. The view was gorgeous, the campsite was so peaceful, and the tent is huge!

Weekend Trip to Leafy Lanes Tree House (“Fort”)

We loved how the treehouse was nestled into the beautiful redwoods alongside a running creek. It made the experience so tranquil and inviting. Inside was designed so well, it made us feel like we were in some far away land. The smell of the treehouse was my favorite, like fresh wood and palo santo. Melissa was so attentive and provided everything we needed and more. We will definitely be sharing this place with our friends!

Weekend Trip to Sacred Owl Land

Had the absolute best time at Sacred Owl Land. The stay here for the weekend was nothing but peaceful, beautiful, quiet, and a perfect way to reset and recharge completely unplugged with nature. It was exactly what I needed. A beautiful yoga room to stretch, hammocks to relax, hot tub to unwind, a fire pit for s’mores, and of course we can’t forget the amazing view of all the beautiful trees! This is the place to be if you’re looking for a nice little quiet weekend getaway.

Kim was a lovely host, accommodating but still giving us lots of privacy. We loved feeding animals, riding bikes and jumping on the trampoline then winding down by the fire afterwards. Cabin and bed were very cozy.

1 night at Leafy Lanes Tree House

Oh my gosh. If I’m ever driving up to San Fran or Berkeley again, I’m 1000% staying here again. My FAVORITE stay thus far. You have everything you need in this little tree house. Melissa was so sweet. I came to stay by myself with my small dog and I felt completely safe. It truly was the best little get away to disconnect. I couldn’t stop taking videos because of how cute and well thought out everything was. (Get familiar with the gotta go portable toilet before you arrive! lol)

1 night at The Hobbit Hideout

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Magical stay at the Prancing Pony — highly recommend!** My husband and I had such a wonderful time at the Prancing Pony. The space had everything you could need — hot showers, a spotless bathroom, fully stocked kitchen, and a cozy bed. Firewood is available on site as an add-on which makes for a convenient campfire evening under the stars. 🔥 The highlight was getting to meet Miguel, who was warm, welcoming, and passionate about what he's building here. He showed us the new Hobbit Hideout spaces currently under construction and they are going to be absolutely stunning — the craftsmanship and creativity are next level. Such a treat to connect with him and see his vision coming to life. This place is magical for couples, families, and friend groups alike. We'll definitely be back. 🌿✨

We had a wonderful stay here! Miguel greeted us right as we parked and gave us the grand tour. This place is extremely well maintained with amazing amenities. They're working on expanding the grounds and we can't wait to come back. Highly recommended for those who want to be pampered somewhat during their outdoor adventures.

Weekend Trip to Sacred Owl Land

A beautiful camping retreat tucked away among the redwoods, far from the noise and stress of daily life. It really felt like a little slice of nirvana. The hosts were warm and welcoming and made us feel instantly at home. The setup was simple but thoughtfully done. The heated outdoor shower worked well, and the composting toilet was perfectly clean and odor-free. A campfire was already set up for us, so all we had to do was light it, and the candles and solar lanterns around the campsite made the evening feel especially magical. I missed the note that guests should bring their own pillows, sleeping bags, and water, but the hosts graciously helped us out, which we really appreciated. I also joined the onsite morning yoga class, and it was fantastic. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back soon!

Weekend Trip to Sacred Owl Land

The SOL was the Memorial Day Weekend reset my best friend and I needed. Vaza was an amazing host and our only regret is not being able to talk to her more. We really enjoyed our stay in the cabana and the sunset views were amazing. The cabana was comfortable and so cute!! Vaza was easy to reach and communicate with, I definitely recommend staying here!

Weekend Trip to Sacred Owl Land

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the sky view cabana! Vaza, our host, and her husband were nothing short of kind and generous. There were very responsive to all our questions and helped our trip feel seamless. The cabana itself was soothing and very immersive in nature. We were offered many amenities and our view every night/morning was beautiful. We would definitely recommend for a nice, relaxing getaway. Make sure to plan ahead for directions, as wifi can get spotty, but overall we are so grateful to have had such a great experience! 5/5

Our stay was wonderful. Vaza was kind, generous, and always available to help. The tent was private with a stunning view exactly like the photos. The jacuzzi and showers were excellent. Everything matched perfectly, and we highly recommend it - we will definitely be back! Vaza made us feel completely at home. Her warmth and care truly turned the stay into something special. There is also something very spiritual and peaceful about this land; it gave us the space to reconnect and create the kind of body-and-mind bond we really needed. G&H

Weekend Trip to Windsor Family Farm

Kim is a wonder woman of a Host, extremely communicative and especially great with kids. She let our toddlers feed the sheep and goats, which was an instant highlight. We booked both cabins, giving our group the run of the small property, and spent the evening making s'mores over the firepit. For families with young kids, this place is a great fit: multiple structures to explore, mini kid chairs, swing sets, a trampoline and tons of bikes in every size. Kim made a delicious breakfast of french toast and eggs in the morning. Highly recommend for a quick getaway for kids.
