I enjoyed the dome campsite and its secluded location very much. I'm a podcaster and I recorded my journey through Lovell Canyon and my experience at the dome for my show. I plan to use the dome again but on my next visit I will be bringing my fellow podcast hosts. Thank you Keilani for creating such a wonderful place for me to enjoy a quiet little pocket of the world and be alone with my thoughts.

Brandon was super friendly and welcoming! The site was nice, hookups were easy. Very clean & well kept. Great signage and decorated really nicely & so fun- you can tell they take pride in it. Remote but easy to get to. They are just waiting for their license so they can sell their wine. Would definitely stay again - even bought the T-shirts.

Wonderful place. It is very secluded and you have everything you need. They have gone above and beyond with the look and feel. You will have everything you need. I was in my own van but I walked around and could tell that they pay attention to detail and their accommodations are perfect. You have to use the outdoor shower.

Weston’s land was an amazing experience, getting there was easy and place was absolutely beautiful. My husband and I had a great time there, from cooking on the fire pit, to have lots of space to rest, relax and even play! Our little shih tzu had a great time as well. This is a place we would definitely love to visit again!

We had a great time staying here. Wild horses grazed in the yard while we were there... Which was awesome. Nice to have more space than the average campsite... And, not have to compete for a space. We're already considering a return visit.

We stayed in the RV spot close to the house and it was easy to find. It's a beautiful piece of property and they have many amenities. The only thing I would caution is there's no shade in the heat of the summer when you stay in the RV site. We went for walks down the gravel road and found a shady place to relax just a few miles down the road.

A most excellent camping experience! The camp host greeted us upon arrival and was friendly, helpful - we're glad to have met her. If you love the desert southwest, this would be a great home base for exploration. We would stay there again without hesitation. I loved the "open sky" shower!
