We stayed for two nights in the Safari tent and loved the entire experience. Diana was extremely communicative from the start. Due to high heat warnings, she even offered to reschedule our trip. Luckily, it was very nice and breezy when we arrived. Most of the property is shady so we rarely felt hot. Diana also put out an umbrella for us at the picnic table. It was very nice to eat dinner and watch sunset each day. We didn’t have a food storage bin so Diana lent us one.
The Safari tent itself was very spacious. The bed was so comfortable and fit two adults and one toddler easily. There were many thoughtful touches that made the stay really easy. The private toilet was very clean and right next to the tent. The booking includes a clean bottom sheet. We brought our own blankets and pillows. At night, the temperature was perfect and didn’t feel cold. I’m very happy that I added the propane showers. Water pressure and temperature was just right. Highly recommend bringing a bathrobe since there is a short walk from the shower back to the tent.
The location was closer to Santa Ysabel so we were able to enjoy all the famous pie places without the long lines.
What made the stay really special was Diana’s hospitality. She was very patient and answered all of our questions since it was our first time camping with a toddler. We loved learning about the land and the habitat. Will definitely be back!

Doreen and the rest of the staff were fantastic. The butterfly site was large and had plenty of flat areas for our large tent and two canopies.
My kids (4 & 8) said the events on the farm were their favorite part especially going to do them when the farm closed down to public and we could wander around.
Would definitely recommend camping here over the other parks like William Heise, and I plan on coming back again next year.

Wow, Happy Camper is the one! My partner and I had the most amazing time at Happy Camper. ✨☀️🌈 Davida is the absolute sweetest, so kind, grounded and caring. We miss her already! ✨
Ok now about the Camper itself. Perfect size, AC was amazing, super comfortable and supportive bed and bedding. The bathroom was clean, toilet and shower are great. Hot water when needed, water pressure is fantastic. Always thankful for a microwave haha. There are also lots of little details throughout that make it even more special. I’ll let you discover them for yourselves. 🧡💜✨
The outside area: we loved that it had some green turf, multiple areas to lounge, big fire pit and wood provided which is going the extra mile. The soaking tubs are fantastic! Dipped in multiple times. It was nice after our hikes and walks, and Frisbee and yoga. An amazing additional bathroom if needed. The stars at night are beautiful and the land is so peaceful with the best welcoming energy. And also lots of great wild life. 💙🩷✨
The land: The farm is so well taken care of, everything is so beautiful, the friendly people that take care of and run the place make it even more special. The smells and the fresh air are just amazing.🤩 ✨😊
Make sure to stop by their shop right within walking distance to really enjoy the experience to the fullest. We can’t wait to go back. Leaving more grounded and happier than when we first arrived. Just book it have a blast. 💜🧡💙🩷☀️✌🏽🌈😋

Adil was responsive and accommodating to our last minute booking. Adil’s directions, pictures and instructions were clear and helpful in finding a spot. The sites are easily accessible from the road in a two wheel drive vehicle.
We loved viewing the night sky from Adil’s land. We set up our car camping hatch tent in the dark among desert brush and cactus surrounded by hills. I spent a long time sitting under the sky staring at the stars after that. Pet friendly and on leash feels right with the road proximity.
There is plenty of wildlife! From neighbors to road noise to ants to coyotes to dogs. We heard barking and howling and a neighbor yelling overnight. It was mostly quiet. If you are self contained and looking for an easily accessible site for stargazing in a desert landscape Adil’s sites fit the bill.

We loved camping here! The hosts are amazing, the dogs and all of the farm animals are the sweetest. It has everything you need for camping. We 100% will be staying again if we are back down in the area. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Stayed one night at the Hill top site, very peaceful, the kids loved the animals, they even got to pet a Turkey. I’m pretty sure one of the dogs slept outside our tent most of the night keeping watch. A great getaway.

We stayed at Loomerland for 2 nights and we loved it! The kids already asked to go back. They enjoyed the animals, zipline and swings. Everybody is so nice. Thank you 🙏

I enjoyed my stay on Diana’s land. Perfect for the occasion! A quick trip to Julian to escape my busy work schedule. A nice relaxing, quiet sleep under the stars! ✨

Such a cool and interesting site! We camped over the Labor Day weekend and had a blast, especially the farm tour- which I highly recommend. Camp site (Doug Fir) was close to the restroom and shower.
