This is a beautiful spot, the animals are super special, and the cabin was cute and clean. But we experienced negative interactions with the host as well as other campers. Also they were not always responsive, directions to the ranch and instructions at the cabin were incomplete. Overall did not feel welcome, and thought it was expensive.

We drive from Northern California to Southern California and back to nice to have a fun stop along the way. He had fun with all the animals, and camping under the stars. My husband loved the location and was happy the dog could run free.

The large cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. I highly recommend buying the carrots and firewood bundle. My kids LOVED feeding the animals and making s'mores!

It’s a beautiful ranch with such a great atmosphere. Our hosts were very accommodating and the animals were absolutely amazing. The eggs were delivered by their son I think and it was such a wholesome experience. I already miss the view and the air there I would definitely come back(:

What a beautiful spot! It’s a little bit of an adventure to get there (not far, but for inexperienced RV campers definitely fun), but it’s absolutely worth it.

We had a great trip to the Dromedary House. Spent three peaceful days enjoying the exotic animals and scenic views. I loved the fire pit and BBQ area. It was perfect. The hosts were very responsive but not intrusive. We would definitely go again.

So Bad, I Had to Write a Review

Lone Juniper Ranch Camp Site
This is the first negative review I’ve ever written for any site or rental and unfortunately, it’s well deserved. Our campsite was placed right next to a porta potty that clearly hadn’t been emptied in months. In the summer heat, with no shade, the smell of human waste was absolutely rancid and inescapable.
Flies swarmed our area, and the odor was so intense that our kids gagged every time they tried to use the restroom. Eventually, we had to stop using it altogether and drive down the road just to access a bathroom that felt even remotely sanitary.
We spent most of our time away from the site because the stench was inescapable. Nighttime was the only somewhat bearable part. We would never recommend this location to anyone. The conditions were unacceptable and completely soured our experience.

This a "hotel" with a pulse. My wife and I (and our Rottweiler, Rami) loved seeing the horses, camels, donkeys peacocks, alpacas etc. It was super low key and the views are wonderful with views from every angle....although next to I-5 you don't hear road noise you are basically on the top of a mountain.. It was a great twist from city life....the room we had was awesome and perfect for a couple although it has bunk beds and can sleep 3 although I think this house can sleep more. If my travels take me through so cal I will definitely stay again, but likely stay longer to do a hike, bike and get more immersed with geographical feel. I have stayed at hundreds of hotels all around the world and would place this location in the top 10 ranked on convenience, geographical presence, uniqueness and appeal.

The Dromedary Guest House
Our family had the best time at Lone Juniper Ranch. The cabin was well-equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit and playground area. The kids loved seeing all the animals up close. The limited interaction we had with Marlin and his family was pleasant and prompt. I only wish the cabin doors had screens to keep the doors open and the bugs out. Minor inconvenience! We will absolutely stay here again!

Very cute cabin. My girls loved the triple bunk beds. The heating and cooling AC worked perfect. They had condiments, dressings and cooking oil, all the basics.
The best past was of course the animals, we all had fun feeding them.
The owners were very responsive, even late at night.

We had the best time here and can't wait to come back! If you have a trailer you should familiarize yourself with how to tow on steep, windy, dirt roads but it's absolutely worth it. We can't wait to return.

This place is a great outdoorsy experience for LA folks to have and spend some time visiting livestock, within an hour from the city. We stayed in a small cabin, which was well equipped with a bed, kitchen with a microwave and fridge, a bath, with shower, and nice extra amenities like a hammock, a well equipped barbecue on a fire pit. The animals were definitely the highlight, and we purchased a bucket of carrots from the owner so that we could feed the donkeys, alpacas, and camels. We also paid extra to use the sauna, which was surprisingly hot and was very relaxing. Highly recommended!

We had a great time camping on Lone Juniper Ranch. The views were spectacular and the breeze at night kept the tent cool in the summer. Highly recommend the freshly laid eggs and carrots to feed the animals. Thanks!

We stayed at the cabins before but this was our first time staying at the campsite with full hookups. Just like before, we absolutely loved Lone Juniper Ranch and that’s why we keep coming back. It’s very safe for all kinds of travelers. Our doggos enjoyed running up and down hills. There’s something special this trip, we were so excited to see the 3 weeks old baby alpaca! 🦙 so adorable and friendly! Can’t wait to see the baby donkeys!

This place is amazing. We had the entire place to ourselves. The donkeys/asses were very vocal at times, which we adored.
Stars were amazing. Easy, laid back adventure. Camels in the background, sunrise and sunset just a quick jaunt up the hill.
We had the RV spot, everything we needed was there.
I suggest 2 days, and get the bucket of carrots. Bring sturdy shoes for hiking.

Absolutely beautiful views. The RV campsite is perfectly situated to catch a sunrise and the spring flowers are on full display.
Basic amenities were all accessible and we loved walking up the hill to the ranch and picking eggs from the chicken coop. Feeding the animals was delightful. Our dogs loved getting too bounce around the high grass.

The campsite was beautiful, especially during poppy season. The camels on the hillside were really lovely and it was fun to feed the donkeys and alpacas. What was not fun was the overflowing portapotty. Insist that it be serviced before your visit.

Great spot. Fantastic views and wild flowers. Entertaining to see the workings around the farm, feeding the animals and watching them get rounded up, especially when a camel escaped! Location was a good base camp for visiting the area State Parks. The cabin had everything we needed. It all actually looked better in person than the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised.

This was an awesome experience. The Cabin was wonderful and the environment was a great escape from everything. Almost everything you need is provided to be comfortable at night. This is something I will love to visit again in the future.

Lone Juniper Ranch is a great spot. Crazy that it's just 90 minutes outside of LA. You kind of feel like you're in a different world. We used the RV campsite. Power, water and sewer was available. The hosts are very responsive. Would definitely recommend.
