Had a lovely time camping here! Loved how shady our camp site was and the host was very welcoming, helped us to our spot and showed us around. It's very dark at night, would be great to come back on a new moon for stargazing. It's also conveniently 30min out from lake Isabella, where you can grab groceries, rent stuff for water sports, or just go picnic by the lakeside and take a dip like we did! We'll be back :)

Danny’s land was great! Water was easily available and the campfire was great. The space was perfect for 2-4 people. Danny was also great and responsive to any of our questions.

Had a great weekend at Danny's site! Nicely shaded. We were also able to order the firewood and fresh eggs with Danny. The compost toilet was easy to use and clean. Not a far drive to Lake Isabella or to the Kern river. Would definitely come back!

The host Danny was great, very nice and was very helpful with me and my kids. The campsite was very well kept and nicely shaded under 2 trees. I would definitely recommend other campers to his little farm sanctuary.

I loved hearing the rushing creek while falling asleep in our tent. Hosts very kindly helped jump start my car when the battery was dead in the morning.

A great city escape
We loved our stay. Danny was welcoming & the sweeping oaks & towering pines on the property were just beautiful. Having archery (& cats!) to occupy our attention part of the stay was also such an added benefit. The compost toilet + a water hose within proximity of the fire pit was the perfect amount of luxury for an otherwise primitive site. 10/10 would recommend & go back.

Danny was a great host! Very welcoming throughout my stay. I purchased a homestead tour and archery lessons which I very much enjoyed. Danny takes great pride in his garden, animals and land.
I had my own little camping spot under a gorgeous oak grove, a nice campfire and got to practice my new archery skills.

Shady spot with a great fire pit!
We had such a pleasant experience at Danny's camp. I totally recommend the stay. A shady and secluded spot with chickens and dogs. A nice firepit.
Danny was super-friendly and accommodating.
There's no cell service which was refreshing. We only stayed one night but would totally come back for a long weekend and explore the nearby Lake Isabella region.

Wonderful Camp Site!
A very wonderful experience all around. The campsite is a hidden gem of the local area. A small but very warm fire pit kept our small camp party lit throughout the weekend. The darkness is perfect for star gazing. We saw a few shooting stars on our camping trip. (Helpful that Perseids was peaking the weekend we camped lol.) We also drove around and found a nice hike and a couple of hot springs exploring the local area. The hosts are professional and attentive to anything you may have questions about. I was taught how to use a bow and arrow and even got a bullseye. We also had delicious eggs each morning for breakfast that we’re laid by the chickens at the campsite’s homestead and farm. I 100% recommend this camp site for future visitors.

I really really loved my stayed at Havilah ranch. amazing scenery, plenty space for set up. exelent weather we enjoyed every single unforgettable experience.
Wasn't hard at all to get there, even though I arrived at night with Danny's direction was super easy to find the ranch
. talking about Danny, an amazing guy always there for us, his disponibility went far beyond my expectations, truly an amazing person with soooo much to do alround there, I could write a long list but I only going to mention my transportation to the past visiting the host town , highly recommend.

Amazing site
The camp site was very private and hidden away which was nice and the host was very accommodating and helpful during our stay. The site is actually very big and wild feeling which was great and they have a lot of things to do nearby like hot springs, lake, etc. I recommend this to anyone who wants to have a private hidden away trip.

A lovely weekend
This property was lovely! Quiet and beautiful with options for shade or sun. The host, Danny, gave a great tour and shared the lovely animals and amazing garden that seems to be expanding rapidly! We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful spot to stay. Awesome mountain drive in. The shaded sight was perfect after staying in the desert and visiting Death Valley. Danny and his dog stopped in to make sure everything was good. Super friendly.

One of My Favorite Trips!
Seasoned camper here- This stay was one of my favorite so far, that I even decided to extend the trip by a second night! Booked this site on a whim without much research. This homestead is under 3 hours drive from Los Angeles and enjoys a much fairer climate. Tons of forestry and mountainous views with the most wildlife I’ve encountered camping in California. Neighbors have turkeys, who might come over to peek into your tent. Terrain can be a little steep and rocky into the village and also on the homestead- 4WD not compulsory but recommended. Firewood is available on site for a fee, but 7-11 in Lake Isabella (30 mins away) also has some.
When booking, do note that this is truly off grid with no cell service, WiFi or GPS. It does get cold at night so prepare well and there shouldn’t be a problem. Lots of bugs, including red ants and beetles, which were a delight to me as a nature lover, but be warned to keep food sealed and skin covered if this bothers you.
Danny was very welcoming and accessible- the family lives up the hill from site #1 so it was good to know that help was nearby if an animal tried to eat me at night (unfortunately did not happen). Delivered firewood in a wheelbarrow and gave up some good recommendations for the towns nearby. Bakersfield is just under an hour away, where there are tons of antique stores and sights to see. It is a large Californian city, comes with everything you’d expect from it.

Overall pretty descent place
the fire pit is just a shallow hole on the ground
Not really a scenic view around the area
All other activities are outside of the site
There were no cats at our site :(
Also there is one scary dog that came and ate our food

Great clean and quiet campground. Super appreciated the fire pit because most of the camp sights in kern you cannot have a fire.

Overall it was a great and quiet place in nature (what we were looking for). Unfortunately all the mentioned activity’s were only reachable by car, like the hot springs.
The campsite has everything you need (toilet, water), but it’s pretty basic.

Loved this site! Danny was very welcoming and I was able to order some firewood before arriving. Directions were clear and the site was easy to find. the road coming in felt a little narrow, but it is do-able.
The site includes a bench and a fire pit. There are large trees covering and plenty of shade. There is a composting toilet and Danny provides directions on how to use it and clean up afterwards. There is also a water hose to help you wash dishes, put out the fire, or refill your water bottles.
There was plenty of space and level ground for a tent or car camping.
The neighborhood was quiet and night and you don't even realize that there are neighbors, the site feels very secluded.
Recommended activities:
Stargazing! You can see so many stars, there is plenty of open air space between the trees.
Set up a campfire! Ask Danny about buying firewood
Head out to Miracle Hot Springs about 30 min away.

You need to stay here.
Found this place super last minute after not finding a single campground in the sequoias due to forest closures. With that said, Camping here couldn’t have gone any better! Danny was super accommodating and he even showed us how to shoot a bow and arrow. Overall I would definitely recommend!

Danny was a great host. Our group of 7 had so much fun and the kids loved the archery. Plenty of shade and very peaceful. The only downside was the toilet situation but the hosts lists everything in the description. We will most definitely be back! Thanks you!

Great little site! Easy to access. Friendly host. Good shade. Cute and curious cats.
Bring earplugs if you're sensitive to the sound of animals (wild and domestic)
Would definitely camp here again.
