A Bit of Old West

A hundred acres of high-desert history

Long before the hacienda, this was a working homestead — a vast expanse of oak trees and California junipers spread across rugged, mountainous land, alive with jackrabbits, quail and owls. The ruins of the original homesteader's cabin still stand, alongside a long-abandoned gold mine and the stone arrastres where mules once turned to break ore. We're keeping that Old-West spirit, and opening the mountain to campers again.

The Experience

Bring your setup, the mountain does the rest

This is simple, off-grid camping the way it's meant to be: you bring your tent, RV or camping truck, and we give you private access to a quiet mountain — wide flat sites with 20-mile views, and a secluded canyon site down a private dirt road for those who want to disappear entirely.

Today, two private sites are open on the mountain — Campsite 1 and Campsite 2 — each with its own picnic table and room to spread out. Every camper is welcomed with our camp table, a welcome sign, and a game of checkers.
