The White Lodge is a private home owned by the creator of Hicksville Trailer Palace and Hicksville Pines Bud and Breakfast. Although Morgan(the owner) has retired, he's made his property to feel as if you're in the middle of the woods complete with swimming hole, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, sauna and more!
Our trailer and cave shower entrance are on the smaller size and may not be comfortable for larger bodied individuals.
We are closed May-August because the trailer has no A/C and we're too busy with our Swimply pool business. You can book it only as an add-on for pool guests during that time. More pool info on our website whitelodgepool.com

This was originally a Girl Scout camp called Singing Pines back in the 30’s. You’ll see as you roam around some of the original buildings and structures. It hasn’t been in operation as a Girl Scout camp for over 30 years. The bigger building is an Airbnb for groups. They will also have access to the lake.
DIRECTIONS:
Take Exit for Angeles Crest Hwy (Hwy 2) from the 210
Go North, up the mountain for 29 miles
Turn left on Sulpher Springs Rd
Go about a mile and you will see a Singing Pines sign up on a hill on the right side.
There is a white gate which is usually open but if it's closed go ahead and open it.
Go down that driveway about a mile and turn left at the fork.
Follow that road down and around the lake staying to the right. Once you passed the lake there will be a little uphill and the location is on the left.
Learn more about this land:
The Skoolie is a converted short bus with two love seats that convert to an RV queen bed, sink, stove top, dinette, and over head lights. Outside is a private meadow with a short walk to a small lake. You can bring your fishing gear. It's stocked with Bass and Bluegill. Outside the Skoolie is a picnic table, fire pit (firewood $10 a bundle) and a hammock. Up the hill, a very short walk is the private campground toilet facility. This is not shared with anyone else.
No cell phone reception no linens bring a sleeping bag or warm blankets. You can charge your phone in the Skoolie for a sunrise alarm or just to take pictures.

Cold Creek is a unique 112-acre property in the San Bernardino National Forest. Because of its location in a 3,200 foot elevation, it's colder than the Southern California deserts and warmer than the cold mountains above us. Our temperatures rarely exceed 90F and rarely drop below 40F. We have plenty sun and about two to three days of snow every winter. A year-around creek keeps everything green and fresh around the year. We are the second owners since 1913, and operate a small organic orchard on the property. We are most famous for our honey, peaches and figs, but also grow apples, pears, persimmon, blackberries, greens, bay leaf, white sage and more.For years , we were WWOOF hosts (look it up ;-) and resisted opening up Cold Creek to traffic associated with daily camping arrivals, but we finally found the perfect spots for visitors to park their RVs, spend a quiet night and visit the orchard by foot.We are now excited by the prospect of focusing on expanding our micro-farming and inviting campers to look over our shoulders.

The Unhitched Ranch is a family run Clydesdale and Texas Longhorn Ranch. Clydesdales and Texas Longhorns have been the focus of the family owned and operated ranch. The Ranch is approximately 40 acres and is tucked away in a very unique area of Southern California and has spectacular views of the local mountains and city lights. This quaint little canyon is nestled between Loma Linda and Moreno Valley, and is home to about 800 free roaming wild burros that visit frequently.Recently we have added a Gazebo that you can camp near or under as well a a horseshoe pit, and tether ball. We typically only open the ranch to one group of campers at a time so more than likely you will be alone with us on the ranch. There is plenty of room for larger groups, feel free to contact us

I will definitely be coming back for more peaceful, relaxing camping.
Thank you again for being such a sweet and caring host!

Zen ranch was pretty dreamy. Nice night sky’s, quiet, peaceful, and the land is lovey. I stayed in my van so it was a nice middle ground between camping and glamping. The outdoor shower was super fun (I love outdoor showers in general). Also Mary is super sweet! A gracious host that has created a cozy vibe. I’ll definitely be back.

About the Host: Mary is a very conscientious host. She cares about her Hipcamper's experience. She checked in once a day but then gave you your space.
About the property: Pictures do not do it justice. This is a self-contained property (fully fenced area that feels separate from the rest of her property) that has everything you need for a great camp trip. Here is a list of things this property offers.
1. There is an outdoor shower with hot water.
2. Multiple electrical outlets.
3. A nice 3-section bathroom area with a composting toilet, a sink with running water, and a private changing area.
3. A large open patio with a sail shade overhead. The patio has a fire place, chairs, and a covered countertop bar with a working fridge and other appliances available for use.
4. Two cleared areas (lanes) for a couple of cars, or a trailer, or multiple tents.
5. Finally she has an open area just outside the fence that accommodates larger RV's (i.e. 5th wheel trailer). It's not ready just yet, but is in phase 2 of her plans for this Hipcamp.
All in all, I had a great experience at Mary's property. If you have a small group and would like to have a weekend getaway with all the essentials at your fingertips, this is the spot. And the best thing is the price. For everything you get, it is a totally reasonable price. I can't say enough good things about this Hipcamp. I know this sounds like a commercial for this place, but it really is a great spot for the price. See for yourself.

The Zen camp was a comfortable and spacious place to stay. The covered kitchen station with sink and mini fridge included counter space for food prep and stools for dining, with an electric outlet. We appreciated these conveniences and extras like the outdoor hot shower and fresh herbs available to use from Mary's garden. The space was well lit throughout and furnished with plenty of chairs, tables and a hammock. A canopy provided much-needed shade. Mary was a great host and was always available to answer questions or resolve any issues that came up.

The A frames with bedding and lighting offer a quiet retreat after being outside and exposed to the desert. This is especially true during the windy month of April. The outdoor flushing toilet sink and shower are private and airy. There is also a partitioned and inviting kitchen/gathering space for cooking and eating at a table. We walked, and walked in every direction from the A frame (since it is tucked away from the road) without having to cross a street or intrude on neighbors. We saw wonderful birds and wildflowers, various Joshua trees and jack-rabbits. We heard coyote in the distance. Devil's Punchbowl is a short drive away...and must be experienced. Lake Los Angeles is a 7 minute drive away and has a Dollar General store...which has everything food, drink, necessities related. Osman created a very welcoming outdoor and indoor space that is well lit and safe and clean and warm and quiet...we loved out stay.
