Private sites
100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
The Ranch has many varied sites to explore from oak woodlands to pine covered woods. The ownership of the land has been held since 1883 by the Summit Lime Company and was until the 1930's the site of several lime quarries one of which was used to supply material for the Owens valley to Los Angeles aquaduct. Current utilization is for recreation, private hunting club, timber production, and cattle grazing. The campground was built in 1967 to provide a location for church, non-profit, and youth groups to enjoy a private, and safe location for outdoor recreation activities. Camping is restricted to family and group activities. The campground has 17 sites a comfort station, water hook-ups, fire ring, and 4X8 foot stone BAR-B-Que. In order to provide a private experience no two groups are scheduled at the same time. An ideal group size is 15 to 150 persons.

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    This campsite seems to be a favorite among those who visit, thanks to its secluded yet accessible location. Guests appreciate the ample space, privacy, and well-maintained amenities like hot showers and clean restrooms. Steve, the site manager, receives high praise for his helpfulness and communication, making guests feel well-supported during their stay. Wildlife sightings add a touch of nature's charm, although some visitors noted the occasional inconvenience of fire bans due to weather conditions.

    We had our wedding here over the weekend and I can only say good things about this place. Clean, nice bathroom and showers, huge fire pit, plenty of picnic benches, and large spots to camp at. It is a beautiful property and glad we were able to have our family and friends here. Steve, who showed us the property and campground was extremely helpful and generous. Glad we were able to meet with him a few times and during our stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
