Cross Bull Ranch/CBR

Lisa was wonderful and her property to camp on is just as advertised. My daughter and I had a really special trip there - it was her first proper / outdoors night camping and so I'll never forget it!!!

Fantastic stay! Lisa was very warm and hospitable. We ended up at the glamping site but were able to use our own tents. Very well shaded, plenty of privacy and room for 4 of us. Would definitely come back!

Nice campsite for a close, weekend getaway. Lisa, the host, was accommodating and even let us stay in a bigger, more private campsite because it wasn’t booked.

Beautiful spot with a little creek running thru the property. Lots of nature with birds and frogs singing. Close to a cafe and a restaurant and not too far from shopping, laundry etc. A great getaway.

Lisa was amazing, showed us around the entire property walking around barefoot like a true warrior! We stayed at the campsite near the trailer, which was nice and roomy and had room for our big family tent. Close to the beach and some cool cafés nearby in Topanga canyon. Would highly recommend!

Good times

Lisa is a great host! I took my sons on a last minute "camping" trip over Labor Day weekend and we had a great time. We loved how close it is to civilization, but still had a true woodsy vibe.

When I tell you hands down this was THE trip of the summer, I mean it! Lisa is incredibly kind, and her campsite gave everything it was supposed too! She is such a PHENOMENAL person, with a beautiful heart and spirit! My son and I had a blast, and her recommendation for the Sunday Brunch spot exceeded expectations! It was something out of a story book! Thank you for such a rich experience and memories that will last a lifetime! We will definitely return! I have already told others this is it; look no further for an incredible experience you'll never forget! Thank you Lisa, and God Bless!

Great spot to hang out with family and friends. This place is sacred, gorgeous and extremely flammable! So keep your fire and sour drunk buddies out! Lisa is a great person. Would love to see her again.

Staying at Cross Bull Ranch was an amazing getaway experience for my partner and I! We wanted to get out into nature somewhere that wasn't super far away from us and we definitely got what we were looking for. Lisa was a great host and we really enjoyed talking to her and plan on going back! Camp sites all were well maintained and we picked one with plenty of shade to get out of the summer heat. I recommend staying here if you want a convenient getaway. Wish we could've stayed longer! Thank you Lisa!!

Cute not far from home getaway !

Tent ·

I didn’t need to bring a canopy as there is plenty of shade or chairs which were already provided was nice. This was a nice not far from home getaway. You’re not far off the main highway but it still feels secluded. You can sleep in a tent but also jump in your car and go to a cafe, bistro, or market 5-10 minutes away if you wanted to. I think my spot at the moon lodge was the best as you’re tucked in a nice corner by the stream and the mountain. Lisa was very sweet and accommodating, we were the only ones there when we went to it was nice to have the place to ourselves. She has dogs but they were so well trained they didn’t make a peep the whole time we were there. She even has a rooster that Lisa let us feed which i loved ! Bathrooms were clean but you have to walk outside of the property to get there. The equalivent of maybe 1 street block give or take depending on where you are. Which is not uncommon for camping. I 100% recommend this spot of your looking for something local. :)

Lisa was a really good host. She was super friendly and welcoming and made it easy to arrive unassisted. I brought my two young daughters and they loved swinging on the rope swing and exploring the dry creek bed. We had a nice propane fire pit. (No real fires allowed). And when we needed bug spray I drove 5 minutes to pick it up and come back. feels removed from LAand yet not at all removed from civilization.

Beautiful Topanga

Tent · With kids ·

Lisa set us up again for an amazing visit to her place this past weekend. We had warm heaters and clean bathrooms and made full use of the amazing space. The kids had a great adventure with the swing and running through the trails on the hill. What's great about the location is with how easy it is to get the central are in Topanga. On Saturday afternoon we took a field trip to the coffee shops, restaurants and had a great hike at Red Rock Canyon Park thanks to a recommendation from Lisa. We will all be returning back to Lisa's again this summer.

The location of Lisa's camp is great, there are coffee shops in walking distance but it still feels very remote. Lisa met us at the gate and let us stay in the glamping site because no one had reserved it during our stay. It was nice with seating areas and the toilet. This was a great place to stay nearby LA without being in the city.

The best long weekend

16 ft car · With kids ·

My daughter and I had a lovely time on Lisa’s magical land! After camping under the shade of the trees in Topanga Canyon we drove 15 minutes to have a beautiful day at the beach. What could be better? Lisa was a fabulous host, with lots of fun stories about the property and recommendations for things to do in the area. Don’t just take my word for it, here is a review from my eight year old: Five out of five stars. I think it was amazing. It was an awesome experience. There were so many things to do. There were so many animals. I love the kitties and the doggies. I also love the Robin, the rooster. And the flowers. I loved it so much and I wanna go back every day.

Close to LA, but what a great experience! Lisa is a super friendly host. My son and I had a great time hanging out here. He especially enjoyed hanging out with the rooster, 2 kittens and the dog. The weekend we were there, hot during day, but nothing that a short drive to the beach didn't solve. Nights are also relatively cooler, but we were comfortable with a standard 3 season tent, and sleeping bags.

Loved our 1 night at Lisa's glamping site! The beds were sooooo comfortable, the teepee was clean. The gas fireplace was awesome to hang out at in the evening and great to have since woodfires were forbidden/fire risks at this time of year ( AUGUST). The little dining table and chairs were also super comfortable to hang-out in in the slow morning.... WALKABLE!!! What's great was that we could just walk to the Topanga Living cafe for breakfast AND to the REGGAE on the MOUNTAIN festival 🥳. BASICS: No shower at this site and I believe no water, so bring your own extra water/shower setup to wash-up!! The toilet is a porta potty, stacked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer + small water faucet to wash hands. Worked for us. WEATHER: In the shade of the big oaks, we were super comfortable, not too hot at all..., it was perfect :) We stayed from like 7pm to 11am. BUGS/ANIMALS: Did not get bugged much. Lisa left a bug spray but we did not have to use it. No mosquitoes.
