Site 3 - LovelightTentsite & Car Camping
My group and I had a great time at Lovelight! There are super friendly cute dogs at the property and lots of fun art and things to look at. It was located in a great, convienent spot that was close to the Sams hot springs. There was a high wind advisory and Mikey was kind enough to offer a different, more covered site so we had a more comfortable and less exposed stay.

The Desert Isle
AMAZING place to stay!
We LOVED staying in the Desert Isle at the Lovelight Ranch! It was such a cool and unique space. Even though we were there in February, we were sheltered from the wind at night and heat of the day. Mikey made it so cozy with lots of blankets. Mikey was such an accommodating host! So nice and friendly and easy to communicate with. Everyone at the ranch was very friendly and helpful and welcoming. We were obsessed with the camp dogs who were so fun (we miss Alice already!) The entire site is a magical place with gorgeous views and amazing art! We had everything we needed and more and loved cooking in the outdoor kitchen and hanging out in the Buddha Lounge! We can't wait to come back and spend more time in this beautiful spot!

Communicated with host to coordinate arrival day prior. Sent him updates per instructions but never heard from him again. Wasn’t let into property and had to find another place to stay night of. I’d warn future travelers to make sure travel arrangements are aligned.

This place has everything and Mikey was an amazing host. Exactly like the description. It is an art lover's paradise with so many nooks and crannies to explore. My family and I had an amazing weekend there and would definitely come back again!

A wonderful place!
We would highly recommend this place. Everyone was so friendly, we loved the warm welcome and tour with Mikey. It’s a beautiful place, artfully decorated with wonderful outdoor rooms and hang-out spaces, kitchen, bathroom all with wonderful art. The campsites are nicely spaced apart with great communal spaces. Wish we could have stayed longer. Don’t skip the sound bath experience with Kyle! It was remarkable!

In the wonderful womb of art
Absolutely loved my stay with Mikey and the gang. Art in every nook and cranny of the property and Mikey spent a few hours with me painting on canvas which was a first for me. Thank you Joanna, Chad, Jessica, Kyle, Emily and all the beautiful pups on the property. It's exactly what I needed! Mikey, I'll keep getting my "art on" and Jessica, lll plant the starters when I get back.
