The drive to this location is beautiful. I love being in the rolling hills of California. This spot is in a valley and the last few miles of the drive was gorgeous. Our spot by the stream and the road was nice. It was peaceful. I would recommend, but a few things to consider:
-Have a shovel handy. Had to clear out a good amount of horse manure from the site.
-Zero cell service for T-Mobile
-Very, very windy. Make sure your tent is secured.

My son and I spent two nights and had a blast.
The animal visits were amazing. We had goats, horses, dogs and a chicken stop by to say hello.
Lots of trees and shade & a babbling brook.
The stars were amazing and the weather was perfect. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.
We’ll definitely be back.

Gateway Ranch Dry Camp
We had a lovely time here and would definetely come back in the future! The hosts were very nice, quick to reply, and took the time to show us around different camping spots to pick from. The property and surrounding area is beautiful and there's a lot of interesting places to explore. The creek isn't hard to cross with any regular car which isn't too close to the ground. The animals were great too, they got some beautiful highland cows and horses which came up to us to say hello. There's a lot of bones around the property if bone collecting is your thing. They also got three shepard/guard dogs which are very friendly. We were the only campers there when we went so having them around at night really put our minds at ease. As others have said you lose signal relatively soon after you exit the highway and take Caliente, so plan accordingly

As inexperienced campers, I’m not sure what we were expecting, but this place was pretty great! Their 3 big, fluffy dogs hung out with us the entire time, which was a dream come true for me and my dog. She loved being off leash, romping with the dogs, and running through the stream (best days EVER). Their horses came near our site on the last day and it was so nice watching them peacefully grazing and drinking from the stream. As I mentioned, we’re pretty inexperienced campers and had to leave early due to the cold. Just know whatever the weather apps say, it probably be a bit cooler since it’s nestled between rocky hills. We definitely want to return when it’s warmer or come back better prepared.

What stood out is not only the beautiful views but the water stream that goes through the property. Very peaceful & Cory & his wife are very welcoming and helpful!

Had a great time. Tons of open area to explore, a soothing creek running by the spot we chose. Beautiful horses came right up to us by us and were very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

We loved spending time with all the animals at this campsite! The host Corey showed us multiple sites and let us choose. We picked one close to their home so we could use the WiFi but it was also a nice flat area and next to the creek! The farm animals were social and came by our campsite to visit quite a bit. The dogs came by often to check on us - SUPER friendly! The hosts were very helpful and answered any questions or needs. There is not cell service or WiFi once you exit off 58. GPS screwed us up on finding the entry gate but Corey was so patient and waited for us to figure it out! Some of cows slept by our tent one of the nights about 30 feet away or so. It was quite hot by late afternoon and very cool at night. This place is for you if you like animals! It was very peaceful- lots of stars at night- very secluded. It was a great experience to camp at a working farm.

Cory and his family are amazing! The spot is as described. Get ready for wild animals and no reception! Family had a blast playing in the river and enjoying what farm life has to offer.

Ultimate farm camping experience

Corey’s farm is the ultimate farm camping experience. It has everything you’d need. We had a blast. Their instructions were really easy to follow. Road to get there is beautiful and their land is clean. The campsite had all the amenities I’d like to have. (Electricity, water and sewage hookups). They were available if we needed anything. Also they have large dogs that are the friendliest farm dogs that you’d ever encounter. I highly recommend everyone to stay here and experience this gem of a campground.

We had an amazing time camping at Bear all Retreat.
Corey’s place is 130 plus acres of pure-outdoor bliss.
Creek with clear streaming water, amazing views, starry nights and campfires right outside our door. Free range cows, horses, goats, pigs, and chickens, greeted us daily and provided us with entertainment. The family dogs came to visit often hanging out with us keeping us safe and our dog enjoyed making new friends. We hiked and walked on trails collecting pinecones, pine nuts, watercress and fell asleep to the chorus of the frogs in the creek.
Corey’s wife Alicia and kids were so kind and gracious sharing with us fresh farm eggs, goats milk, points of interest around the area and pleasant conversation. Camping the way it is ment to be, cant speak highly enough of this hidden gem. We will surely be returning to Bear all Retreat to clear our mind and soul while camping and hiking in the great our doors.

Convenient location for anyone travelling into the Twin oaks area.
Only downside to 1st camp is it right next to the highway. If in a tent, car noise a bummer.

This is an absolutely beautiful spot! It is a very memorable road to get there, for sure! Through a steep canyon but such gorgeous scenery!

Awesome place to relax and unwind off the grid. Corey & his wife are super hospitable and showed us around. At any moment you can see horses, goats, pigs, cows and chicken roaming free throughout the property. Wonderful getaway spot not too far from La.

Wow, what a stay. We were greeted by Corey’s awesome son who showed us to a more secluded campsite by the creek and gave us a rundown of the place.
In the morning, as we cooked breakfast, we were met by 3 large dogs who were great company. We also saw llamas, goats and horses watching us from a distance! After eating, I walked along the creek and met the very friendly animals. I was greeted by a cane corso along the way, who walked beside me the entire time. Loved it!
Super thanks to Corey and the family for being so flexible. We decided to bring our dog with us last minute and they were more than accommodating. 10/10, definitely recommend this campsite.

Corey and his family are really nice and they have a lovely piece of property. It’s definitely out there but it’s really quiet. There are lots of animals so you need to be in love with animals. They will come and greet you each day each night and pretty much all the time lol it was lovely. Corey bent over backwards to help me out every time I needed it thank you Cory and thank you for letting me stay there😀

It was a great first time Hipcamp experience , a whole different world from State Parks and regular camping spots, this felt private like if it was your own place for a couple of nights , the peaceful sounds alongside the cold creek, sky full of stars, beautiful landscape on the route , a lot of cows lol, at Corey's land there was a super friendly pack of dogs playing with you during the day and guarding you at night. Also Horses , Llamas, Goats, a Peacock, a Cow and calf, lt is fun for the kids in a very private set up, this spot has wifi but only if you get closer to their house, in my opinion if you're worried about wifi, camping is not for you LOL, happy camping everyone, and don't hesitate to visit this place at all, thank me later.

My husband and I went camping at the gate entrance lot with our dog and had the most amazing time! It was my husband's first time camping, and it was great. The bubbling creek made everything feel so peaceful, it was nice and quiet apart from the occasional car driving by and dogs sounding alarms up the hill, and we got to pet the horses when they came down to the creek to drink water!
We did have trouble finding the right gate upon arrival (we drove back and forth looking for it and ended up having to leave the canyon so we could have cell service and call Corey, who promptly sent her son out to help us) . It's the one with the bones strung around the wood fence! And we had trouble finding the lockbox but if you ask Corey I'm sure she can tell you where it is, honestly it was our own fault since we arrived after it had already gotten dark.
Highly recommend this place and we'd love to come back! Such a great place to camp

It was such a pleasure staying here and meeting this sweet family! Fell in love with all of the beautiful animals and loved walking around by the creek. The horses were so nice and the beautiful pack of mastiffs guarded us all night. Plenty of wood to forage for a fire. A hidden gem with great energy.

There was quite the delay for check in and then once we arrived at the site it was missing options posted in the listing. There was no potable water and the electric did not work. We were advised internet could be spotty but we weren't provided access. We decided to leave and book elsewhere.

We actually did not stay there. Could not find the place but the places we saw along that road were pretty trashy.

The land and drive up was amazing ! Corey and his family made us feel welcome to explore their property. From a cute donkey to llamas chilling by the creek there were a million things to see. The water was cool and refreshing as we caught some frogs and watched all the wildlife. The WiFi and amenities kept us up to date but let relax into being out in the woods. We all loved it thanks Corey and family

Bare All was an amazing camp site! There’s a lot of different spots to choose from, we had a secluded spot that Corey helped us drive to where no other campers were but still close to our cars. Heads up, in July it was HOT! seeing the horses roam free was beautiful, we were given heads up not to leave food out cause horses would come and get the food but we didn’t realize they would do it AS we were cooking 😂 it was hard to get them away and one ended up kicking my wife as we tried to get them to move away from our food so we needed help & Corey gladly helped to get the horses away which we are so appreciative of. If you want a closeup experience with horses this is perfect for you, which is what I wanted lol just be mindful the horses will come close if you have food! Also, keep in mind there’s no service (at least where we were) but you can do a 10 min hike to get free WiFi and you’ll see llamas! So cute. Will definitely come back, thank you!!

Kind, accommodating owners and spacious and very comfortable rv with great amenities. Perfect for beating the 105 degree heat! We loved saying hi to the livestock and watching them go about their day, the creek was gorgeous and so much fun to walk and explore. Thanks so much Bare All Retreat for having us this was the perfect weekend getaway!

Having never been through this part of California before, we were so impressed with the drive. The farmland, the golden foothills and the beautiful canyon country. Corey’s property is unkept, but has a natural beauty. The animals on-site were a joy for us as well as our 2 large dogs. Felt isolated and safe at the same time. The running stream was perfect for our dogs to play in. Trees, hills and nature make this a great experience.
