LOCATION INFORMATION Our farm experience offers a no-fuss stay on a real working 20 acre farm approximately 15 miles south Bakersfield with easy freeway access. Sites are perched on the edge of the pond – enjoy catch and release fishing or spend some time on the provided paddle boards or kayaks. Most of our campers are road tripping, getting away from LA, or are looking for a stopover on their way to/from Yosemite, Sequoia, Joshua Tree, etc. We are in a desert climate – cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Each site has a small table, water spigot with potable (aka drinkable) water, picnic table and fire pit ring (you provide your own wood). All sites are BYO (bring your own) tent or you can sleep in your car. Certain sites have height limitations and cannot accommodate pop up tents or trucks with campers – you’ll see these limitations in the campsite names. There is one shared indoor toilet and one outdoor shower that has hot and cold water. You may be greeted by our 3 working dogs - they're big, but friendly and love visitors. RULES 1. Pets are not permitted. You will be asked to leave (with no refund) if you bring a pet. We have working dogs and it is an unsafe environment for your pet. 2. No fireworks or anything else that involves fire outside of the firepit. 3. 1 Tent and 1 Car are permitted per site (with the exception of site 4, which fits 2 tents and 2 cars). 4. No tents, tarps, or canopies may be set up on our grass/lawn area. 5. Absolutely no feeding the farm dogs any food or treats. 6. At checkout, we ask guests to dispose of all trash in the dumpster located near campsite 5, wet down any hot coals, wipe down your tables and if you’ve moved any tables/chairs or used the paddle boards/kayaks to put them back. 7. Quiet hours observed between 10pm-7am. 8. We provide shampoo/body soap for the shower and do not allow outside bath products in the shower. 9. No moving or relocating the firepit SPECIAL HELPFUL NOTES 1. You may wander the property, but campers are not allowed in the pasture, barn, or on farm equipment and vehicles. We do not offer farm tours at this time. 2. There is no electricity or wifi at the campsites. Cell phone service for all providers is great. 3. You're welcome to hang your hammock if you have tree straps - no nailing or screwing anything to the trees. 4. Paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing (catch and release) are permitted however campers do so at their own risk. 5. We have working dogs who bark if predators are near, bullfrogs who croak at night and roosters that crow in the morning. Earplugs are recommended if you're a light sleeper. 6. There is a Walmart, Lowes, Albertsons and Vallarta market all located within 20 minutes of the farm for any firewood, ice or other items you need. 7. Do not leave your shoes or trash on the ground and accessible to animals. Between the dogs, wild cats, coyotes, foxes, skunks, racoons, squirrels, etc. they will go missing or you'll find a big mess in the morning. 8. We are a true working farm and we operate 7 days a week. This means any day of the week, we may be doing tractor work, fixing irrigation, mowing the lawn, weed eating, chain sawing, or any number of other activities that it takes to keep a farm operating and the camping area looking clean and nice. We also have staff coming and going in the early hours for farmers markets. 9. The campsites are cleaned every Monday and Thursday. We love our trees for the shade they provide and so do the birds – which means there’s bird poop (part of nature). If this is going to bother you, bring a tablecloth or towel. 10. We are on well water, during the summer months, let the water in the faucets run for a couple seconds to release the sulfur smell. 11. We do not provide electricity to charge electric vehicles.

Site #1: No Campershells/RV/Vans

Our experience at the farm campsite was pleasant. The host was responsive and came to check in and introduce herself. However, the limited number of trees and close proximity of the campsites did not give much privacy. Unfortunately, both our group and other campers were woken (around 8am) by landscapers using a leaf blower and lawn mowers on our site. It would have been appreciated to be informed in advance about lawn maintenance so we could enjoy our morning and not feel like we had to leave in a hurry. The table and chairs had not been cleaned and we didn’t have supplies to wipe it down. The bathrooms were very clean. There pond had so many beautiful birds we enjoyed watching!

Site #5: BYO Tent, Vans Ok, No RVs

It’s a great place, I love it. I like the restroom’s it was really clean, also if talking about negative points. mosquitoes and dogs were very annoying especially when eating. But overall it was a good night and a good environment

Site #6: BYO Tent, Vans Ok, No RVs

Have mixed feelings. The host was responsive when I couldn’t open the gate and flexible with changing camp sites. The place didn’t match to the photos - the pond was dirty to swim and the tables/chairs look like they weren’t cleaned in soo long. Luckily we brought our own chairs and table to amend for that so I recommend to bring your own. Outdoor shower was nice but there were specific geese that croaked all night. Even with ear plugs you could hear them. I’d still recommend it with tweaks.

Love the Campsite

My daughter keep urging me to leave comment after our visit and here is what she says: this was one of the best camping trips I have ever went to. My family stayed at campsite 2. I had a lot of fun playing with the dogs and on the hammock. Cleo is the one that begs me to massage her, Brody is the one that likes to play, and Nola is the one who enjoys the shade. The dogs can sometimes be a little dirty though. Showers were pretty good for outdoors and I love the hot water it contains. I would definitely come back to this campsite and visit the dogs again.

We enjoyed our stay. They maintained the property neat and clean. The scenery was peaceful and relaxing. The weather was getting hot, but there was enough shade to cool us down. Tons of nature sounds!

Site #5: BYO Tent, Vans Ok, No RVs

This was an amazing trip. Will definitely be coming back. One of my favorite camp sites Ive ever been too. Very relaxing and private. The property is really beautiful and gives you that on a farm out in nature relaxing experience. The pond was so much fun to swim and paddle board in. We were at site #5. The site was well equiped with two tables a fire pit with a grate for cooking on and even a well made clothes line to hang our wet bathing suits after going in the pond. The bathroom is really cute and clean and the outdoor shower was great, including hot water and peppermint soap! All those animals do get very loud at night though, so I recommend bringing a speaker and fully charged phone to play some ambient music to help drown it out. Once we did that, no problems sleeping through the night. It does get really hot though, make sure you place your tent where shade will hit it in the morning.
