The Cuyama Valley separates the Caliente Mountain Range from the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. Tucked away in the northern foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range of the Los Padres National Forest is Cottonwood Canyon of the Cuyama Valley, located in northern Santa Barbara County. Cottonwood Canyon is known for its spectacular high desert landscapes offering open ranges, rolling hills, chaparral with oak woodlands, riparian and juniper-sage terrain, and seasonal wildflowers. Cottonwood Canyon is also home to our secluded 116-acre ranch. The flora and fauna are plentiful, the mountainous views are indescribable, and the night skies are unforgettable! Perfect for unplugging, wildlife watching, photography, meditation, and much more! Our ranch has miles of hiking, mountain biking and horseback trails and is just two short miles from the Los Padres National Forest. This is the true essence of wilderness meets country, and we can’t wait to share it with you! Even though we are in the middle of nowhere, we are conveniently located near many recreational sites. Just to name a few, about 20 miles east is Alison Canyon Park; About 30 miles east off highway 33 is OHV recreation area, Ballinger Canyon; About 35 miles east off Hudson Ranch Road is the Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge; About 60 miles north off Soda Lake Road is the Carrizo Plain National Monument; About 12 miles west is the Chimineas Ranch Ecological Reserve; and, about 60 miles east off highway 166 is Wind Wolves Preserve. Get a peaceful night’s sleep with full bellies! Here at -G Ranch, it’s important to us that you get the most pleasant stay that you deserve. Bring your own food to grill on our communal BBQ or possibly let us cook for you! Contact us before your stay and we can discuss food details. Learn more about this land: Come spend the night under the stars at our Grant Line camp site and event center. The Grant Line campsite is situated right next to an original 1840’s Spanish Land Grant boundary line, which is intersected by Forest Route 11N01. The grant has since been divided, but large pieces of land still remain, mostly inhabited by mountainous wildlife, ground squirrels, rabbits, coyotes and cattle. This area is also rich in Chumash history. Million-dollar views of the Caliente Mountain Range await you for evening sunsets and the Sierra Madre Mountain Range await you for your morning coffee enjoyment. Don't miss the brilliance of the famous Cottonwood Canyon Wildflowers with your front row seat. For your comfort, there is a 16x20 rustic-style shade structure (which has also been used for a dance floor!), water spigot, fire pit, small BBQ, and an outhouse. We have oak firewood available for purchase and a larger BBQ capable of cooking for 200+ guests available for rent, if needed. This site also provides plenty of parking for multiple RV’s and can accommodate larger groups.

We loved staying here! This was our first stop on a road-trip up to northern California with our two dogs. There was so much space for the dogs to explore. Very relaxing and quiet spot (except for the coyotes at night haha). We will definitely be back to this spot!

RYEFEST at Grant Line Camp Site
Grant Line Campsite was the perfect backdrop for the most epic 30th birthday ever! The minute we rolled in, Dave made us feel right at home. He kept the good vibes flowing with a daily truckload of firewood, making sure we were warm enough during those 36 degree November nights. Surrounded by nature's beauty, the campsite gave us killer 360-degree views that had us constantly snapping pics. The place was top-notch, with facilities that blended right in with the rugged scenery but kept us comfy. The bathroom was a big plus with a flushable toilet and running water for the sink and outdoor shower. Celebrating in the wild at Grant Line created memories that'll stick with us forever – shoutout to the super-friendly hosts, breathtaking views, and the daily firewood that took our stay from cool to downright amazing. If you're after a camping experience that's a cut above, Grant Line is where it's at for real natural beauty and genuine hospitality.

Amazing campsite with bathroom!
This is the 2nd time we camp here and we all absolutely loved it. Our group this time was larger than the first and we all had plenty space to set up. The owners house is far enough where we can plan music and not disrupt them. The road to the land was very easy for small cars. You can purchase wood from the host if u run out as well. The star of the weekend was the newly built full running bathroom with a toilet and sink. Make sure to bring a generator as there is lighting available. The host has two very sweet dogs so make sure to drive slowly when you pull in. I absolutely recommend this site. We would love to return for a third time.

Camping With Extras
We really enjoyed David & Whitney’s place; it has all kinds of charm and cool accommodations like the Ramada, flushing toilet, water, pipe-bar, bbqs, giant shade trees, chairs and tables, oak firewood, and so on. It is great! It’s particularly useful for larger groups, as there is ample space and lots of ways to utilize all of the stuff that comes with the camp. The landscape is also striking, with distant mountains, hawks, and amazing star-gazing. The only challenge is finding the actual location… so read the directions; they work. Also, David and Whitney go out of their way to help you find it. (“Call us and we’ll walk you through it.”) All in all, we’d heartily recommend staying here! Do it, or we’ll beat you to it!

Nice place for camping in private!
We were surprised we weren't able to use our Quads like last year, kids got really bumped out, but seems that those are the new rules with hipcamp, and we were not aware, just took it for granted. The place still is a really nice and private place for camping with the family.

Book this Hipcamp!
What a property!!!! David & Whitney’s place has it all!!!! Incredible views, peace, tranquility, roofed wooden structure to sip coffe/cocktails or dance under the stars. Amazing oak trees to bbq under and endless views. We LOVED our stay and are trying to think of any reason to throw an event in this incredible space!! We simply MUST have family/friends see it!! David and Whitney and their family are lovely humans and could not have been more accommodating.
