Great place for stargazing. Stephan was a great and communicative host.

The RV was equipped with everything needed and was secluded at the top of a hill, giving a beautiful panoramic view of the mountains and sunsets. There’s an indoor stove and outdoor griddle, indoor seating and table and a picnic table outside, kitchen sink, and a spacious fridge and freezer. The stars were breathtaking and the skies were clear. The site is also a half hour drive from Los Padres forest that flaunts amazingly clear swimming holes and awesome hikes!

I loved my time at Heavenly Views! While our trip wasn't that long (3 days), the overall vibe, views, ambiance, and location were all lovely and really helped contribute to a relaxing but engaging vacation.
It's a great location for stargazing, hiking, and just going for walks. The drive from South Bay Area isn't that long or difficult, and we were able to make it there easily even leaving later than anticipated (8pm~). Very dog friendly, and Stephan was an amazing and engaged host who constantly checked in on us, helped with itineraries, and is himself a fun and interesting guy to talk to with a lot of stories to share :)
What an amazing host! Stephan goes out of his way to make sure your needs are met! He is friendly, warm and committed to you having an amazing stay! His place is awesome! Incredible views!
He recommended we take a trip to the swimming holes in Los Padres National Forest and our family loved it! He knows the area very well and can set you all up! He even brought us chopped wood and made a fire for our family to make s’mores!! What a great host!
Wow, absolutely incredible stay at Stephan's place. Stunning views and night sky, super clean, private and comfortable and the host, Stephan is not only ultra kind and accommodating, his knowledge of this hidden gem of an area, is astounding.
Absolutely check out the swimming holes and the fire honey... both are the stuff of legend. Thank you Stephan and Lucy!!
Such a scenic place with an amazing host. Stephan was incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. He shared so many hidden gem spots nearby that made exploring the area even more special. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests having a great experience. The space was comfortable, cozy, and had plenty of heating, which made the stay even better. We also loved the fire pit outside, which was perfect for relaxing in the evening. Hands down, we’d come back anytime.

This site is amazing with fantastic views! The host gives great recommendations on places around the area to explore as well as suggestions for nice stops to see along our road trip to the site, and helped us find our way to the site, firewood, and more. The trailer is also well-stocked and clean. Would definitely come back!

This site is absolutely gorgeous, the trailer was super clean, and Stephan is a natural host who knows this area like the back of his hand.
Definitely plan your days so you get back to the property before dark- There is limited reception and you don't want to be driving up the wrong driveway. Also the sunset is gorgeous.
My sons and I had an incredible experience on Stephan’s property. We intentionally avoid the hustle and bustle of the campsites in the parks and this property was exactly the solitude we were looking for. A beautiful setting to make family memories. Great spot!
We had an amazing stay here! We were traveling back to Southern California from San Francisco and found ourselves needing to stop soon, but didn't prefer a motel in King City. We're so happy we found Stephan and his beautiful setup not far off the 101, west of King City. The RV was spotless, cozy, and perfectly set up for a comfortable getaway. The views are absolutely stunning — both during the day and especially at night with a sky full of stars right outside the door. Stargazing in front of the fire pit was the highlight of our trip!
The host went above and beyond with his hospitality. We had forgotten groceries for breakfast, and he kindly provided us with organic free range eggs, ham, and even fresh fruit so we didn’t have to stress. Cooking and eating outside while enjoying the scenery was such a highlight.
Between the peaceful setting, the fire pit for evenings under the stars, and the thoughtful touches from the host, this was one of the best camping experiences we’ve had. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a mix of relaxation, comfort, and nature.
Perfect weekend getaway spot. The view is absolutely beautiful and feels wonderfully remote.
The camper was spotless and very comfortable, the grill outside and oven/stove inside made cooking easy no matter what weather you get, and we really appreciated the perfect fire starters that they prepared with the fire wood… no need to be a pro with fire pits. Everything was well thought out and taken care of.
One of the highlights for us was stargazing. The host provided a telescope, and the sky here is unbelievably clear. Stars lit up the sky at night. The Milky Way was as incredible as I can remember ever seeing anywhere.
The host is super friendly, helpful, and welcoming. You can tell they thought through every little thing you could need and then made sure it was there and easy to find. It definitely made it even more relaxing.
When driving in, make sure to use the hosts directions since for the last sections the road is dirt and slight inclines. Research satellite view of the map ahead of time from Jolon Rd onward and you’ll be good. The road is definitely fine for two-wheel drive as long as it’s not pouring rain. I wouldn’t take a low ground clearance car… a bit tricky for a miata for example. We had no problem and way more clearance than needed with our 2wd RAV4 though.
Between the comfort of the camper, the thoughtful amenities, the hospitality, and the night sky, this is easily one of my favorite camping spots now. We’ll definitely be back
Great place to stay, King City is about 20 minutes away, came over from HWY 1 and i was looking for a nice quiet place. The place is wonderful and the night skies are amazing. But the nearest cold beer and groceries are in King city. The Host was great the AC running when i got their but was not needed that night as it gotten cool. The bed was awesome.Just bring your own beer and food before getting there. Will stay again when passing thru the central coast.
This litte hidden Gem is at a mid point between San Francisco and Los Angeles 20 min South of King City off the 101 freeway on Jolon Rd. With a true 360 degree view on top of hill. The Lockwood valley has some of the best star gazing clear skies with little light pollution. The host Stephan, aka (Steve) was a hoot, super cool ole army fellow master meat cooker had smoked brisket that was amazing cheese and wine waiting in the fridge when I flew in and landed next to the trailer. Message him ahead before you fly in. The day was warm but the nights are cool so bring light coat or sweater. It is after all summer in coastal CA but the A/C worked well mid day and trailer was very clean and comfy. Trailer has a nice awing out front chairs on large gravel area with a fire pit and firewood so you dont have to bring your own logs. I will go back again thanks (Steve) keep up the great Hipcamp.....
