This was such a great setup! We do not go camping often, so I wanted to book a spot that was between camping and “glamping”. This was that perfect inbetween! It does get pretty cold at night during the fall/winter, so make sure to pack plenty of extra layers and blankets. The campsite was very well taken care of, and there weren’t even any bugs inside the A frames. He even included a propane tank, which was great since we forgot to bring one! We had a lovely stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for camping near LA

Had a great time staying here with my family! Everything was so clean , there was cell service so that was nice ! Also some things to note there is a cooking area just no fridge so bring ice and a cooler! No water heater so the shower was cold but felt nice!!! There is a working toilet on site so that was amazing! Two A frames one with a king size bed which was very comfortable it can get windy throughout the day and night but honestly wasn’t a big deal. There’s a port to charge things and some night lights We brought a portable dvd player so once it got dark we were inside the A frame

The site is so great to go camping with a group. Some of us actually used our own tents, some who couldn’t handle the cold used the a-frames that are available. It was a nice little getaway from the cities and all the noise. The stars are sooo pretty at night. I brought my dogs and it was great, I didn’t have to worry about them at all, granted they are trained. They were wandering around and the site is far away from at street, that I let them do their own thing. The girls liked it so much, one of them is coming back with her family to enjoy the sight again.

The cabin is so cute and easy to find/access! It was less than a 5 minute drive from the lake and there were lots of trails nearby. The trails were a bit tricky to navigate with little signage so we didn't venture too far but the views were still great. I would recommend bringing essentials (shampoo, body wash, coffee) but the cabin had pots, pans, toaster, dishes, etc. I would definitely recommend this cabin for a relaxing slow paced weekend away!

Osman and his family have created such an inviting and comfortable environment. A labor of love you can appreciate. The communication and attention on their end was fantastic. We got our car stuck in the sand and Osmans dad saved us by getting us out! (He made magic happen) One of the A frames is shorter and smaller so WATCH YOUR HEAD. Its still very comfortable and cute They provide fans and lanters per A frame. THE BED IN BIG A FRAME IS SO VERY COMFORTABLE. A battery powers a small charging station inside as well The kitchen and firepit area were niceley spaced and very comfortable to cook and work with. Everything was clean and well kept. They have a pool as well but we used it as extra table space. Shower is best during peak heat hours (after 12 pm) WIND is inevitable in the desert so youll have to take that up with god and be prepared for wind and nature. Wind does help with heat so i was grateful for it We saw two shooting stars our first night there. You have your own private walking trail and youve got the place to yourself. 10 acres(: I cant wait to return. Thank you to Osman and his incredible family again. You guys have done a wonderful job

The heat is no joke in the summer but we did keep cool but dipping our feet into the pool and taking an outdoor shower. Once the sunsetted and the temperature cooled down we cooked and made a fire in the pit and watched the full moon rising over the east mountains. We brought binoculars so it was a gorgeous sight to see. We also spontaneously caught a shooting star in the sky!! Everything was very comfortable and stocked. We loved the cabin structure too, very unique. Overall it was a great experience and is a pleasant place to stay.

This is a really cool site with great amenities. I usually camp very nomadically and this was a very nice change of scenery! I tent camped but will be bringing the family back because the triangle lodging would be perfect for them. The bathroom is clean and very functional and was impressed with the shower set up. I also liked the common area and cooking areas. Really great for windy environments with good shade. Lots of great aspects to this site and hope to bring the family during the winter time! Thanks for the great camp!
