I was the only one up there, it was so peaceful! Road getting up there was sandy but my motorcycle made it up and down fine. Close to the town and the nice roads around there. Clear skies were great for stargazing. Host was very accommodating and answered all my questions and offered to help out in a situation I had. Would definitely recommend. Great view out over the desert. Running water was a bonus. I think there was a toilet bit I didn't use it on my stay.

The campsite was exactly what we were looking for. Secluded, easy to access, and it had nice amenities for a campsite. It was nice sleeping under the desert sky.

It was a nice property, but the winds were too strong and we ended up leaving. Couldn’t pitch a tent, so cowboy camped for a bit but ended up leaving.

Beautiful Views in this entrance to a desert canyon. Lots of fun scrambles in the boulder covered hillsides. Just be sure, as the host recommends, taking advantage of the windbreaks for camp set up on site in case you get an occasional wind event.
Close enough to Borrego Springs and surrounded by Anza Borrego State Park, you can do day trips if desired. We used our mountain E bikes to go back and forth to town.

Overall a positive experience. There was plenty of space for our pups to roam around and for there to be privacy from the other family camping there on our second night. The wind was a LOT the first two days! And we didn’t really find wind breaks to set up next to that weren’t in the common area for campers. However there was a spot that seemed to have an abandoned tent and mattress that might have been protected from the wind.
The host was very communicative with directions to finding the site well! Which definitely helped because the coordinates from hip camp wasn’t correct. The location was nice and close to the town and the state park.

We spent booked our stay on Tamsin's land last minute and were had the best time reconnecting with nature. She provided detailed directions when finding the property and we enjoyed the scenic dirt road drive to the site. The space was very big and felt so private. The stargazing was unbelievable and the sunrise was even better. Can't wait to visit again soon!
