My family and I (two adults, two kids & one dog) camped at Eray's beautiful site over the weekend and had a great time! Eray and his father have done a beautiful job of positioning campsites in a way that is socially distanced but you still feel the safety of other people around. Each site is named after an animal, we camped in Quail per Eray's suggestion and it was perfect for our family. We were able to set up two tents in the seclusion of trees helping keep our tents cool and the kids feel extra safe at night (it was their first time!). The toilet, sink, and shower were added bonuses. The shower had perfectly warm water thanks to the heat wave and the views were amazing. Our first night there Eray was nice enough to come over, hang out for an hour & tell us about the nature surrounding us, point out the moon and just talk. 100% suggest going to Camp Juniper for a perfect weekend trip. We're actually already planning to go back in October when the weather is a bit cooler.

Camp Juniper was really something different! Eray is a very caring and attentive host, he made sure we and others at the camp were attended to and if we were doing okay. It was hot, but the views of the sunset and the night sky were perfect. The location made it seem like we were far from home, but not really. Will definitely come back in the spring to see a different landscape!

Eray’s place was magical. The day was hot and duaty (as was expected when forecast for 117 on Labor Day weekend!) but as soon as the sun dipped behind the hill around 5pm the dusk and night was enchanting. Wonderful views, wonderful time to be had for all. Flushing toilets and cold running hose to cool off for the kids was a super great plus. The dogs loved it too although we didn’t let them off lease as I was worried they would love exploring so much they would get lost! Eray was wonderfully welcoming and extraordinarily helpful.

This place is awesome! We stayed in campsite #5 with our two dogs. Eray and his father were super welcoming and accommodating. The property is remote and beautiful with plenty of space to explore - the Manzanita Trail was especially charming and a fun place to find shade during the day. Loved the unique toilet setup - super convenient and way better than a portapotty! We only stayed one night and did a quick visit to the nearby Devil’s Punchbowl. Once it cools off, we will be back for a longer stay! Thanks Eray!

We loved our campsite. It was very scenic - next to many Joshua trees and to a nearby short hike through colorful manzanita (leading to a beautiful view of the valley). Eray was courteous, thorough and welcoming. We hope to come back in the Fall when it’s a little cooler to explore the Devil’s Punchbowl area more.

Our stay at Camp Juniper was truly delightful and relaxing. Eray was the perfect host and made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout our stay. The campsite was clean with plenty of shady spaces for hanging out during the day. Thank you Eray, we will definitely be back again!

Camp Juniper exceeded me and my fiance's expectations. It was surprisingly close, only an hour away from Los Angeles but still remote. We camped in a secluded area under Juniper trees and Joshua Trees. I was surprised by how many Joshua Trees there were in the area and how full of life it was in the desert. Lots of rabbits and chipmunks and birds. The nights are beautiful in the desert
The site was clean, had toilets, a shower and a nice dishwashing station. Eray was a great host. He was friendly and helped us pick our site.
Would definitely go back

We really enjoyed staying at Camp Juniper. As everyone else has written, Eray and his dad (Mr. Kim) are both super nice and accommodating. The campsite is well laid out with a central area with helpful amenities such as a shower, cooking/dining area, dish station, handwash sink and toilets. Everything is fairly basic but it all works nicely. Campsites are spread out and offer good privacy. We were able to choose our site and really loved the seclusion that it offered in addition to the beautiful views of the mountains and surrounding landscape. Overall, this is a great option for a quick weekend trip out of LA.

I had such a great stay at Camp Juniper! Even though I was only there for one night, Eray guided me on a hike (we did see a rattlesnake!) and offered to take pictures and shared dinner with me. It was such a pleasant evening and my campsite had so much privacy. It was perfect!

My wife and I stayed at Camp Juniper to celebrate my wife’s birthday, pandemic social distanced style. We wanted to make sure it was a private site where we could easily social distance without anxiety. Eray definitely made sure to assign sites to ensure enough distance between the different groups. He also seemed to be very sensitive to our initial goals for the trip, so make sure you let him know why you’re coming and what you’re hoping to do while you’re there.
Eray was also very friendly and helpful. He gave us a quick tour when we showed up. He set up each communal site with plenty of hand sanitizer. He also answered any questions and gave directions when asked.
We would definitely come back. Maybe next time with a large group.

Camp Juniper was absolutely beautiful! The number of Joshua Trees on the property was incredible and since we stayed at Campsite 1, the view (especially during sunset) was especially pretty.
Eray was a very welcoming host! He was right at the entrance when we arrived and when he showed us around the property he offered some other sites that were unoccupied if we wanted to move. He even did a full on photo shoot with us in front of the sunset which was awesome!
We only stayed one night but may actually stop here again in a few weeks on our way back from our road trip.
Thanks Eray!

We stayed for a night and had a great time! Eray offered to take our photo at sunset which was very nice. The hand washing station was also great. Beautiful area and a great place to camp.

This is a really beautiful and special site! Magical trees throughout and Eray was a very gracious host. He met us when we arrived to make sure we got the best site for our family. He also led us on a little tour of the land...social distancing, of course....and took some family photos for us. There are flushing toilets, sinks with wash tun for dishes. I would definitely recommend this site and plan to return again in the spring!!

Camp Juniper exceeded all expectations. The land is stunning and it is SO QUIET and peaceful, while being super close to civilization still! The work Mr Kim and his son have done on this land is incredible - the sink basin in a juniper tree with plumbing + the open air flushing toilet stalls were such a nice comfort and done in a way that fit perfectly with the land. Mr Kim was a great host, he helped give us the lay of the land upon arrival & made us feel welcome. We wished we had more time to talk to him about the property! There was plenty of shade that even in July desert heat we were comfortable. I would 100% go back!

Eray was extremely accommodating & friendly! Such a cool person! The property is seriously gorgeous. Nice views and walks to take. Lots of plants and animals. Eray talked to us about all the different plants on the property. They created a trail that’s forged through beautiful manzanita trees. You feel like you’re in a magical garden while wondering through it. There is also a shower, dish sink, and body/hand wash sink. Also! Two FLUSHING outdoor toilets, just another thing of magic provided by Camp Juniper. Don’t hesitate to go here!

Eray is the BEST host. He was extremely communicative the entire time and sent an amazing PDF with recommendations of activities in the area and instructions.
I love the private nature trail that is just a few minutes away with a beautiful view and Manzanita trees. The extra amenities (toilets, sinks, communal spaces) are a plus too.
Eray and his family created a very special spot.
Highly recommend to all!

Etsy was a great host. He met me as I drove in and showed my my comping spot, which was a relief because I arrived a bit late. He was very gracious. The comp site was well mainrained and beautiful.

Took my fiancé and stepkid camping here and it was amazing! It was their first time camping and we had the best time. Comfortable flushing toilets, surrounded full of juniper berry bushes and Joshua trees, sunset and sunrise views are unreal. Wish we were able to see more stars in the evening, but since there was a super moon that weekend the stars didn’t show up as much but it was still amazing to see how big the moon was as it lit up the entire desert.
Eray and his father are the most hospitable people ever and even gave us the option of moving to a different more secluded campsite since we had neighbours and they were worried our kid wouldn’t be able to sleep but we’re pretty loud as a family ourselves. They came in to check up on us once we checked in and checked out - you can tell they’re just super warm people with such positive energy.
We’re hoping to make family camping trips an annual tradition and will be back!

Wow dude, this place is legit. Eray is very chill, super attentive, welcoming and friendly. He was right there, ready to greet us when we showed up, guided us to our campsite and gave us a tour of his campground, which is cute af. He's got a great setup with a hand washing/tooth brushing sink, separate dishwashing sink, little private flush toilet area, and even a little makeshift hose shower area. The campsites had little picnic benches for convenient cooking/eating, and he even had little solar powered lanterns around the campground to light the paths at night. As for the location, it is remote wilderness as advertised, a little rough to get to in a small, low car but our little Hyundai Accent loaded to the brim with gear (trunk, bike rack, roof storage) made it without bottoming out at all, so most vehicles should be fine unless you're driving a lowrider. But the beauty of the campground and the sky at sunrise and sunset is well worth the drive to get out there. Highly recommend staying at Eray's campground.

The pictures don't lie. It's a beautiful spot with good hiking and amazing views of the valley below. Eray was a great host who struck the perfect balance of checking in to make sure we had everything we needed while still giving us our space.
The individual campsites aren't very private but they are well spaced and the campground didn't feel too crowded even though it was completely full the night we were there. The vibe was very relaxed and there's a nice communal feel to the layout that would be fun to take advantage of once the pandemic is over. Having running water to wash up and flush the toilets was another plus.

Camp Juniper offers a truly unique landscape. On our first day staying here, we drove an hour to a nearby hike & waterfall that was insanely gorgeous and what makes the landscape so interesting — desert to waterfalls within one hour driving distance. On our second day, we hung around enjoying the campground and even went for a walk on the Manzanita Trail (located walking distance from the site).
This campground is matched with a rockstar host who was incredibly kind and accommodating. We were also able to bring our dog, who loved exploring the area alongside us. From start to finish, our host was communicative and helpful. Thank you for everything, Eray! We enjoyed staying at Camp Juniper :)

Eray and his camp were lovely. So rural and private, while still being close enough of amenities that it made for a great weekend. I’d just be a bit cautious on car choice. We take our Prius everywhere but it definitely got hung up on some of the pints in the driveway. So beautiful though and would highly recommend. Eray was great:)

First I just want to start off by saying how beautiful this place is. A mixture of the mountain, los Angeles forest, and an abundant amount of Joshua trees. The place is just beautiful!! Eray is such a friendly and accommodating host. He thought of where to place our group prior to us arriving there and made sure there were enough shade for all of us. He was constantly checking in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. He also took time ouf of the day to guide us on a short hike. I'm already planning on coming back again soon since it's such a short drive outside of LA.
