Love this campground! Beautiful rolling hills, views of the valley (which the mountains have cool looking formations), night time is amazing with dark skies lit up with all the stars, the sites at this campground are far apart so that you feel like you’re out there by yourself, not too hot or cold during Spring, speaking of Spring, all the wild flowers were blooming.

This was THE coolest campsite I have ever been to! It is on top of a mountain and only has a single lane dirt road to the top so just keep that in mind when driving here. Amazing off-roading about 2 miles farther into the mountains. Jim was so sweet and very accommodating. He has soaker tubs that you can rent ($ based on size) to help with the heat ($20 for the single person). There were ZERO mosquitos/spiders/etc. I think I only saw one or two flies my entire stay. Almost every campsite has its own outhouse (non flushable) but clean, private and with toilet paper. Fire pits, table and potable water at each site. I was solo camping and felt very safe! Adorable ranch dogs too! I will ABSOLUTELY be back again!

Third time here ⛺️One of the best campsites two hours from Los Angeles.More than ten locations for any company from very small campsites to large ones with houses. There are also many medium options with and without berths.Each location is uniquely decorated in its own way, but all have at least a plumbing, a grill, a table with benches under the roof, trash containers and a toilet.All locations are at a distance, so you will never intersect with neighbors.I prefer campsites on the hill, but campsites at the bottom have their advantages too. great place for sunrises and sunsets. At night you will have a clear starry sky.

Went to the second annual skykamper event and wasn't impressed with the event or the campground. But for those looking for a clean campground, and needing cell service this is the place for you. But for those like me, that prefer camping off the grid and away from everyone, you might want to pass this one up.

We were lucky to be there during the height of the pandemic. Very few people were out there with their ATVs so it was very peaceful. Jim is an awesome host. The property is amazing. We camped perched on top of a 200 foot plateau with an exceptional view of the valley.Well worth it. Look it up on hip camp.

Peaceful and quiet, with a great host and his helpers. Sunset is absolutely beautiful. The road is sand and gravel, so if you're on a cruiser take your time. There are flies, bees, ants, coyotes, and other wildlife, but that's to be expected in the middle of nowhere.Santa Barbara Pistachio Company and Cuyama Buckhorn provide good food, and friendly service nearby.Sadly, my bike was acting up on me so I left early. I would have gladly spent another night falling asleep under the stars there.

great pet friendly location. each site has an outhouse, potable water, covered picnic table and a firepit. some sites are more remote and not all are listed on hipcamp (i think they are adding new ones. the one we stayed at looked like it has just been finished)

Great camping venue with tons of space on the mesa for tents, campers and RVs. Loved the communal lodge/outdoor kitchen area.Restrooms: Outhouses and portos.Picnic area: There are palapas with tables and benches in the camping sites.

Great little camp ground spot. On a bluff and spread out enough to have privacy. Everything you need at the sites. There's also a group camp at the speakeasy lodge, great for big groups.

This is a unique place to camp. It's rugged beauty and isolation make it a great place to relax and commune with nature. We stayed mid week and had our pick of a couple dozen or so campsites with each just out of view of the others. What you get is a campsite with a picnic table located under a shade structure, a fire pit and a water source located nearby. The owner Jim set us up with some firewood and come deluxe comfy foam pads. Good eats and gas are located just a few miles up the road towards Ojai. All in all a unique and pleasant place to get away and commune with nature. Also, this place is dark. The stars were amazing.

Beautiful views that overlook a private, secluded canyon with miles in view in each direction. Great hiking and close to several national parks and wine country.
