Terra Vivus is Latin for "The Earth is alive."
Welcome to a great balance of being away from civilization, engulfed in nature with peace and quiet yet also being 10 minutes away from the nearest market and 30 minutes away from the nearest city.
Chipmunks, crows, doves, crickets, coyotes, sparrows and many other creatures call this land home. This is protected land called a Significant Ecological Area mostly because of the thousands of Joshua Trees.
Send a photo/video of you sharing your water with the plants at terra.vivus.inquiries@gmail.com and receive $3 off your stay.
25% of all revenue goes to restoring, preserving and enhancing the existing ecosystem. Come experience and contribute to the preservation of this beautiful landscape.
It can be windy at times, in order to mitigate this I recommend using your car(s) to block the wind. Local markets also sell neck gaiters for face protection. I also have pieces of plywood with bricks that you're welcome to move and shift to fit your needs. I am in the process of building a tree/shrub wind block.
There's about .4 miles of dirt road to get to the property, there are some dips to watch out for but I come out here in a little Prius so it's manageable.
Overall, there is an element of seclusion but occasionally people do drive by on the dirt road.
I would rate the cell phone service a 7/10, it's pretty solid but can go out at times.

Run by three generations, our ranch has been in our family for more than 70 years. We opened our doors to the public in 2014 to help support feeding our animals, bred and rescued, after the Powerhouse Fire almost burned us out. We’ve survived a county quarantine(2018-2019), the COVID Lockdowns (2021-2022), the Lake Fire (2020), and the Hurricane Kay burn scar debris flow and flood (9/11/22), depending on hard work and strong family and community bonds. In addition to camping and educational tours, we host private and community events, grow and sell produce and eggs, hatch and sell chicks, rescue ratites, and support the local bee population (which gives us RAW honey to sell), and are working to open a private U-pick-by-appointment orchard. We are all animal lovers, and conservationists, and try to do our part to ensure our children inherit a healthy and viable world. This is our home where we live, work, love, and play. We enjoy sharing our space with visitors who we hope learn about ostrich and make some great memories.

Chrissy & Ian love the desert for how quiet and open it feels. They bought this land to have a simple place to get away, spend time outside, and slow things down.
It started as a spot for friends and family to camp, cook, and hang out together without a lot of distractions. Nothing fancy, just space, fresh air, and a chance to unplug.
We hope you enjoy your time here!

This was originally a Girl Scout camp called Singing Pines back in the 30’s. You’ll see as you roam around some of the original buildings and structures. It hasn’t been in operation as a Girl Scout camp for over 30 years. The bigger building is an Airbnb for groups. They will also have access to the lake.
DIRECTIONS:
Take Exit for Angeles Crest Hwy (Hwy 2) from the 210
Go North, up the mountain for 29 miles
Turn left on Sulpher Springs Rd
Go about a mile and you will see a Singing Pines sign up on a hill on the right side.
There is a white gate which is usually open but if it's closed go ahead and open it.
Go down that driveway about a mile and turn left at the fork.
Follow that road down and around the lake staying to the right. Once you passed the lake there will be a little uphill and the location is on the left.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The campsites and facilities are well maintained and John is a fantastic host! We took a hike around the area and enjoyed the bird watching We were able to do. I wish I could have stayed longer!

If you’re looking for a place to unplug, relax, and make some amazing family memories, Bare All Retreat is IT!
Our family of 8, ranging from 6 months to 52 years old, had the absolute BEST time. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and full of so much life. We got to see horses, pigs, goats, Highland cows, baby chickens, and the sweetest baby horses—which were definitely my favorite! 🐴❤️
There was plenty of space for our two tents, three cars, and a trailer, and we never felt crowded. We also had space to set up corn hole and can jam. Our spot was huge! At night, listening to the creek flowing was one of those simple things that made the whole experience feel extra special and peaceful.
Corey and his family were so friendly and welcoming. Their kids played with our kids, showed our kiddos how to hold baby chicks. And even gave us carrots from their garden. You can tell they truly care about their.
If you need Wi-Fi, you can get a connection near the volleyball courts, which was a nice little bonus.
I honestly could go on and on about how much we loved this place. It was the perfect family getaway, and we will absolutely be back!
Thank you, Corey and Alexis for opening up your beautiful property and sharing it with us. We made some wonderful memories that we’ll be talking about for a long time! ❤️
I didn’t even want to say this until I was long gone because I am a bug magnet, but I came home with zero bites! Extra bonus!

A true beauty. Incredible oaks, gorgeous sunrise, and conscientious host. Was just stopping through on a trip but felt very lucky to have been able to sleep under the oaks and breakfast in such a serene and quiet place.

2 nights at Skoolie in a secluded meadow
This place had it all! Alittle less than an hour outside of town but completely in nature! We ended up walking around and exploring for about an hour and still didn’t see all of the property. Brian was awesome and left us with water and an ice chest! Propane stove with pots and pans, designated fire pits, toilet out house.

We stayed one night at lone juniper ranch and it was a great experience! My kids absolutely adored feeding carrots to the camels, alpacas, and llamas. The property has lots of hiking trails and it's very quiet at night. Our cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed.

I had a lovely time with my dog on John’s beautiful property. We absolutely loved the beautiful views from the cabin. John was beyond kind and accommodating, especially when I had an emergency and had to leave a day early. He helped me to make sure that everything was OK and I have already received my refund for the day that I had to leave early, which was beyond generous I can’t wait to go back to the cabin with my whole family again soon.

Overall, we had a really nice camping experience! The hosts were kind, communicative, and welcoming throughout our stay. The animals on the property were really cool to live amongst and added a unique touch to the experience.
One of our favorite parts was the creek. It was very clean, and my son absolutely loved spending time playing in it. There was also a restroom and shower available in the RV on the property, which was a great convenience. I would assume those amenities are only available when the RV itself is not being rented, but they were definitely appreciated during our stay.
One thing I would mention for future campers is that the camping area is more open and visible than we initially expected. Depending on where you camp along the lane, you are approximately 30–40 feet from the road, so headlights can shine toward the camping area in the evening. The campsite is also located on a lower level directly below the hosts’ house. While the layout still gives you your own camping area, the house, road, and other campers are all fairly visible, so it doesn’t have the secluded or private feel you might expect from a more remote campsite.
Because of that, I think this is probably a better fit for novice campers, families, or anyone who is comfortable with a more accessible and social camping environment. If you’re specifically looking for a very private, secluded, or off-the-grid camping experience, this may not be the ideal spot.

We all loved camping at Corey’s! The horses and cows randomly showing up was pretty memorable for us and the kids. Everyone was very welcoming. It was a bit tricky to initially find our location but very easy to wave down the rest of the family members as they drove by. Highly recommend this site to anyone looking to spend some time in nature surrounded by friendly animals.

John was very kind and gave us a tour and some tips right when we arrived. He was the best host. It’s incredible what he has built on this land. The drive was very do-able, but watch out for the neighbors great pyrenees!

Overview
About
In the western Mojave Desert, on the edge of Los Angeles County, the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve attracts visitors to Southern California with its eight miles of trails and colorful wildflowers—notably poppies—generally in full bloom from late winter through early spring. Other features include a seasonal interpretive center (open during the blooming season) as well as a picnic area with an interpretive display. Camping is not allowed at the park, but if you’re staying at another California state park in the area, your camping receipt will entitle you to free entry. Many visitors pair their visit with a trip to the nearby Arthur B. Ripley Desert Woodland State Park.
When to go
While the park is open year-round, the best time of year to visit is during the annual wildflower bloom, typically from around late February until May. This is also the busiest time, so you're best off visiting early on a weekday morning to beat the crowds. If you just want to come for a hike, autumn and early winter generally have pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
Know before you go
- Remember to leave it better when visiting the poppy reserve.
- Parking is limited and carpooling is recommended. If the parking lot is full, you can park along Lancaster Road within 100 feet of the entrance.
- Accessible features include ADA-compliant restrooms and parking, and there's a manual wheelchair available for checkout from the visitor center during wildflower season. The picnic area also has wheelchair-accessible picnic tables and a paved pathway.
- Mojave green rattlesnakes that call the flower fields home. The snakes are not generally aggressive unless provoked, but it's wise to give them space, particularly if they are rattling.
- Biking is not allowed on trails, and dogs and drones are not allowed anywhere in the reserve.
