We had mixed feelings and wanted to share so that others could have appropriate expectations about the site. For context we only stayed 3.5 maybe 4 hours at the site before leaving
Positive: Amy and her husband were very nice and responsive, and the site had a very pretty view
Could be improved: The skygazer dome was not as clean as the photos would suggest; we didn’t expect a hotel but there was a lot of animal hair and many stains on the sheets - we would have brought our own sleeping bags etc if we’d known but assumed the cleaning fee included sheets. There were also many cobwebs and spiders (alive and dead) in the dome and the door made a terrible loud scraping noise each time we opened it, scaring our small dog each time. We did check and asked about the temperature in the dome for our dog being warm enough and were assured it would not be too cold for her, but immediately as the sun began to set the temperature dropped dramatically to a point where we could no longer stay due to the dome’s internal temp, not to mention our reluctance to sleep on the bed. The dome was also right next to the other dome - and there is no cover on the door so anyone can see inside. Finally, it was decorated with some random furniture (old desk, somewhat broken lamp, random decor) that cluttered the space inside.
Overall, this was not really ‘glamping’ but the host was nice and communicative. If we tried again we would choose a campsite instead. We were not offered a refund

I have some mixed feelings, photos were extremely misleading. There were lots of photos of a projector showing movies on the dome, and a professional telescope. The dome was named stargazer, so from the pictures we thought there would be an opportunity to use the telescope. When we got there, the telescope was in our dome, but we were told that it was not set up or prepared in any way. We had asked earlier about the projector and we were told that couldn't work either. The place was advertised as having an outdoor kitchen, and there was some options, but there were no plates or silverware. We couldn't figure out the grill, everything was very dirty and, and there was a small sink next to the bathroom, but there were no kitchen cleaning items and no sink That was big enough to clean any dishes. There was a cabinet w some pans and pots, but it was open and dusty, and there was no sink or soap to clean any of the dirty dishes. For a $60 cleaning fee that felt really steep, the dome was full of dog hair, the furniture was dusty, and one of the lamps didn't have a lampshade. I don't expect perfection, but it was not a cheap stay for one night, so I did feel like the price point wasn't fair. The owner was super nice, and accommodating in the morning when we asked about a few things, but not available in the evening when we had a bunch of questions about the grill that we couldn't figure out. The location was filled junk everywhere, that for a cheaper price point would have felt ok

Amy's land is a great place for campers. Not too crowded even when full. Felt homey. Toilets are clean, and there is a spot for showering. The views are majestic. Just be ready for when the clouds roll in. They will condense into water droplets. Great experience overall

If you’re seeking a peaceful escape from a hectic work week, you’ve come to the right spot!
The views were absolutely stunning! The rolling green hills, serene lakes, horses, and the wildlife.
We had a blast on the tennis court! The sunset was simply breathtaking!
And one more thing, the hosts were incredibly kind and attentive! Such cool people!
I’ll definitely visit again.

Sunrise Ridge Campsite
Great place to spend the night with family. Beautiful night views and sunset views. The road to getting there is a one way lane and very narrow so keep that in mind. It gets very windy also. They have a large tennis court u can play in. The domes are pretty cool and also have some chicken in the back of the hills u can check out. Hot showers and toilet available there’s bbq equipment u can use too.

My buddy and I had mixed feelings about our stay. On the plus side, Amy was incredibly responsive and handled a power outage quickly. You also truly cannot beat the view as it is stunning.
However, for a full recommendation, several areas need attention. The site feels a bit neglected: electrical lines aren't properly protected, the tents seem to be used for owner storage, and the outdoor amenities were hit-or-miss. The grill had a rusted burner dial making it hard to cook, the fire pit was out of gas, and the surrounding cinderblock wall felt unstable with loose, unmortared blocks.
While the listing didn't promise Wi-Fi, there is an extender on-site that doesn't work. Additionally, the Porsche near the bathroom is significantly more rusted than the listing photos suggest. Lastly, we were offered a comped day for leaving early, but were disappointed to find out it only applied to a "future stay" rather than a refund. There is great potential here, but the upkeep needs to catch up.

beautiful views sunset and sunrise - love love the sounds of bird song as the sun sets. Early moning the fog covers the valley and you get an above the clouds view. amenities are functional - toilet and hot shower, not the cleanest but does the job.
On the con side, it feels like you are on a construction site, a little messy with work in process all around, there wwere a couple of friendly dogs but they pooped right where i setup my kitchen and peeded all over my containers.
For the price, i had much higher expectations

Valley View campsite 🏕️
We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The views are absolutely stunning, and the bathroom was clean and well-maintained. Amy is incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating. The campsite itself is private and peaceful. We also enjoyed using the tennis court during our stay. It can get a bit windy up there, but the view makes up for it. Highly recommend.

Very friendly hosts. They had a grill and some pretty cool chairs that looked at epics views. Could see the sierra mountain range from my tent view which was epic.

This place is great and so private. It's wonderful to have a place where you can let your dog roam as well. Amazing view and yes, the pictures are accurate. Would definitely stay here again.

Amy and Jim graciously accommodated a last minute request after a prior plan fell through. They were very responsive when various issues came up with the RV's functioning. The RV was well equipped, clean and cozy.Directions to the site were clear. The location was fabulous - nearby and easy to get to from San Francisco but felt remote once we arrived. Very private, isolated flat hilltop with gorgeous 360° views. Awesome viewing of sunsets, sunrise and starry night skies. Wind picks up at night. Just down the road from Morgan Territory Preserve with its extensive and beautiful hiking trails.

I loved my stay here. Direction to get there was easy, Amy was great at communicating and replied right away whenever I had any questions. The RV was clean and had everything we needed, instructions were clear. The sunset view was great and had a short hike through the beautiful landscape. It did get a little windy, being on the top of hill. but the view was amazing. So close from the bayarea yet you feel you're in quiet and private area. The sunrise was breathtaking. This place is beautiful hidden gem.

Amy's place are gorgeous. No language can discribe the amazing view of the clouds here. We are stunned by the panoramic views . Each corner has different beautiful scenery. Even we stayed there in the foggy days we still had fun. Amy is very kind and easy to communicate. We definitely will visit again.

Sunrise was the best part of the trip. The trailer is perfect for 4 people. More than 4 would be too tight. A great getaway place in the East Bay!

Very quiet and safe! The sunrise and sunset on the top of the mountain are super shocking! We also saw meteors at night. You can see the sky full of stars at night. 5 star trip！We will come back in different seasons～

Amy’s place is so amazing to disconnect completely . Sunrise and sunset is so spectacular that it puts anyone in awe.
It’s clean and has all basic amenities to be live on top of the hill . Super reachable from the bay.

Great spot to hang out with friends! Perfect spot for a post mount Diablo hiking day to relax, grill, and enjoy a beautiful sunset above the clouds. The RV was clean and came with everything needed to cook + sleep. I’d recommend for a quick getaway from the city.

Hilltop Sunset & Sunrise retreat
I celebrated my birthday here this past weekend with my partner and a couple friends and our dogs, and it was a really nice close to home adventure. The site is very private, you're the only group there, and there is a ton of room. There are 360 views that made for great sunrises and sunsets - we even got to howl with the coyotes at one sunset, quite a vibe!
We hiked at the Morgan Territory Preserve that is indeed right across the street, it was beautiful and that was a big bonus of staying here for us. It rained our first night so we weren't able to bike on the trails, but hopefully next time we can do that too.
We really enjoyed using the grill and also having the cozy trailer available to hang out in, as it was really understandably windy at times at the top of the hill (PS bring a windbreaker). The dogs absolutely loved sniffing around (and the hike of course), heads up that coyotes and other predators may come through and rattlesnakes do live in the area as well, so it's good to keep an eye out for them if you're visiting with a dog. We found it best to have their beds/chill spots set up in the car to keep the trailer clean as the Host clearly takes amazing care of the trailer and we wanted to keep it that way too!
