The property has a long-abandoned gold mine and circular arrastres where miners used mules to break up rocks. Nearby Acton has pick-your-own apples/pears/peaches at Bloom farms. We are at 3000 feet with strong sun during the day and cool mountains air at night.

Weekend Trip to Kingsfoil Hollow

Christine's HipCamp was an excellent setting for a quick weekend camp for our family. Nestled in the middle of several apple orchards along Oak Glen Road, the location was perfect for enjoying the local activities and atmosphere. Christine proved to be a gracious and helpful hostess, and her cats served as campsite companions that were greatly enjoyed by the family.

Weekend Trip to The Ranch

We’re a group of RV campers - 5 rigs and 1 tent, totaling 13 people and we fit comfortably with room to spare. The camp site is private, clean, and incredibly relaxing. There are plenty of shaded areas to chill during the day, and a beautifully lit dinner space. The Ranch is perfect for unwinding and reconnecting with nature. Every detail feels thoughtfully maintained, making it one of the most enjoyable camping experiences we’ve had. It’s clear this place was designed with comfort and community in mind. And then there’s Steven. He’s a great camp host. Very responsive, kind, and incredibly accommodating. Steven goes above and beyond to make sure guests feel welcome and cared for. We’re already planning our next visit. This place is a keeper!

Weekend Trip to Bowen Ranch Deep Creek Hot Springs

A spacious site and beautiful scenery. The hosts are very nice and the onsite fire wood was great to have. Clean bathrooms and great showers! My friends and I had a great experience, and we will be booking again next September.

We had a great stay at the Sarahi’s land. The location is perfect. It is close to so many fun activities. Walking around doing hiking. But is also quiet and private in the clothes optional and the campground was awesome experience. Sara was a wonderful host. I would absolutely book again. See you soon .

1 night at Cross Bull Ranch/CBR

Lisa was amazing, showed us around the entire property walking around barefoot like a true warrior! We stayed at the campsite near the trailer, which was nice and roomy and had room for our big family tent. Close to the beach and some cool cafés nearby in Topanga canyon. Would highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Kingsfoil Hollow

We stayed one night at Kings Hollow Hipcamp. Christine personally met us and showed the charming site where we parked our car. The whole environment felt very warm, friendly and exactly what we were looking for. Christine explained us how to get to her campsite , and was always quick responsive to our messages. Our campsite had a set of chair and table , and water in the hose which was so convenient because we were with a dog. We will definitely come back to Kings Hollow again. Great place ! Highly recommended for any level of camping experience.

Lisa is a great host! I took my sons on a last minute "camping" trip over Labor Day weekend and we had a great time. We loved how close it is to civilization, but still had a true woodsy vibe.

Weekend Trip to Bowen Ranch Deep Creek Hot Springs

High desert camping is always a little rough and dusty, but that’s part of the charm. The real highlight, without a doubt, was the hot springs. Truly nature’s perfect creation—exactly what comes to mind when you imagine a hot spring. It had everything: deep and clean water, hot and cool pockets, shallow areas to relax. Just incredible. Getting there (and back) wasn’t easy, but absolutely worth it. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and an open mind—yes, there are naked people.

Great experience that I will return soon. At night the road was a little rocky but the host came out friendly to great and check in. Hot springs were amazing as well as the campsite with the great outdoor amenities. Bathrooms are a bit far but are clean and well kept. Campground offer many great activities that you should find out on your own curiosity.
