Speakeasy Lodge
Spent a weekend at the lodge with 10 friends and we had a blast! So much space for games, cooking, hanging out. Was perfect. Utilized the provided sleeping pads and kept the wood burning stove inside burning all night. Slept nice n warm and like a baby. Thanks Jim for everything. A perfect host.

Little piece of heaven!
We booked this site for a weekend camping trip after reading all the amazing reviews Jim had and boy does he not disappoint! Jim is an amazing host and very hospitable and accommodating. He was kind and helpful! The campsites are private and well spread apart so you cannot really hear or see neighbors in campsites near by. Definitely recommend, don’t hesitate and BOOK! We will be back Jim! Thanks so much!

Jim’s land is beautiful and open, well kept, and flourishing with native plants! Had a great time tent camping! We camped up on songdog, camp 3 east: great views, no neighboring camps, and great stargazing! bathrooms were spotless and directions were clear!

Always enjoy my stays here. You can tell Jim takes great care and pride in his property. During this stay the night sky was awesome and it was so peaceful there. Have stayed there several times and will be going back again soon.

This is our 2nd time at Jim’s place. I can recommend it more. Campsites are clean and well cared for. So is the entire property for that matter. Such a relaxing beautiful peaceful place to spend a few days and nights.

Site 3 - Songdog West Campsites
My husband and I had such a great time camping on Jim’s properties. We followed his instructions and easily found our camping site. The site was very private and had lots of space between the other sites. Our campsite came with a fire pit, a picnic table, trash can and additional chairs! It really exceeded our expectations. When we ran low on fire wood we were able to buy some from Jim. Our dog also had a blast getting to roam around. Would definitely stay again.

Jim is always an amazing host. We’ve stayed with Jim in the past and it’s always a 10/10 experience. It’s safe, clean and all the campsites are easy to get too. I recommend his glamping sites as well!

Site 1 - Songdog East Campsites
We were the only campers on the east tent sites during the night we reserved! It was wonderful to be alone with only the stars. Thankful for the isolation, flat tent site, fire pit with grill, nearby water, and pit toilet. Self-pay firewood for $1/piece was helpful.
Signage and the directions to the site could’ve been clearer. Wish I could’ve met both of Jim’s dogs, only met the German Shepherd when we were getting firewood!

Silence and stars
This is an exquisite property, secluded in a stunning landscape. Jim has curated each of his sites to give the outdoor enthusiasts unique experiences. Jim and his dogs Jill and Gypsy are warm and welcoming, ensuring his guests have the best possible experience. This was our second Thanksgiving at SongDog, and it won't be the last.

Glamp Tank site
Site is a bit hard to locate but Jim was kind enough to explain the steps in finding the silo. For future hip campers — do not proceed down the road especially if you have a car that is not lifted. Jim left supplies at the camp site for cooking and wood burning. I did have to leave early due to an emergency and Jim gave me a voucher for my next stay (which was nice). Overall, I would recommend the camp site just make sure you do your research before arriving (ie, read the directions given and maybe check the air in your tires).

Loved camping at SongDog West. Driving up onto the mesa was super cool, great 360 degree views of the valley and the spots are all spread out enough where you don't feel like you're on top of other campers. The bathroom (outhouse) was very clean as well. I'll definitely be coming back here.

Glamp Tank site
Songdog is the perfect place to re-charge. The Glamp Tank site is private with all the basic amenities included. Watch the sunset over the mesa and enjoy the stars and campfire once the sun dips in the west. Jim is a gracious host and any of his sites are highly recommended!

For the dogs!
For the dogs!!!! I’m a dog mom. And my two huskies LOVE SongDog! We get to roam and practice off leash skills. They absolutely LOVE it. ❤️ Jim is super friendly and accommodating. We adore his hospitality. We’ve made several memories at SongDog. I can’t recommend this place enough, even though I want to keep it quiet for ourselves. 🤷🏼♀️☺️ five stars. Hands down. The best peace and quiet you’ll get.

Very wonderful get away
We love this spot! A true getaway under the stars. A wonderful short ride from Santa Barbara in an almost zero populated area. Fairly rustic but for true camping experience a delight!

Solo night at site #4
Showed up a bit late to appreciate the view, but site (#4) was incredibly clean and was able to set up easily.
Come morning, walked around a bit and was amazed. Jim came up with his 2 noble steeds to greet and see how things were going. Great hospitality, will be back for sure.

Another great camping trip
Fourth year in a row camping at Songdog. We love Jim and his gorgeous rugged ranch. A great secluded get away. We love that we never have close neighbors. Outhouses are well kept. And the campsites have everything you need.

Go See Jim!
Such a great experience. I usually opt for open camping on public land during my Cuyama Valley exploits but opted to try out Jim’s place during this last minute decision to get outta the city and enjoy the mountain air — and I’ll definitely be coming back.
The spots are conveniently built out with roofed dining areas, fire rings, toilets nearby, and even came with a couple chairs!
He’s graded really nice dirt roads so just about any passenger vehicle can navigate the property.
I showed up at night without reading the directions i was emailed (oops) and ended up giving myself a nice tour of the property before caving and calling Jim. He kindly came out, greeted us, and pointed my nose in the right direction.
Can’t wait to go back.
