Camping @ Quail Run Ostrich Ranch

8 sites · RVs, Tents62 acres · Lake Hughes, CA
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 & 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.

Originally 40 Acres The Farm Provided ALL Produce, Dairy, Poultry & Beef to The Topanga Community via The "General Store" Until The End of WW2 IN 1945 when The American Public were Sold Post Military Chemicals as pesticides & fertilizers. It was Then That "Corporations" began Buying Up Fertile Farm Land, Clear Cutting, Mono-Cropping. Creating Corporate "Grocery Store" Chains DESTROYING "The Family Farm." My Son's Father & I Rescued This Land in 1998. It was Derelict. We were Handed A 1' HIGH FILE FULL OF Building Department "Violations" The Oaks were ALL Dying from Lack Of Fresh Air/Oxygen & Sunshine. We Removed (8) 5 TON DUMPSTERS/40 TONS OF GARBAGE INCLUDING: Cars, Car Parts/Tires, Toilets, Jacuzzi Tubs, Dishware, Newspapers, Utensils++. We Picked Up EVERY Chard of Glass from Broken Beer Bottles, EVERY Bottle Cap, EVERY Cigarette Butt. Which ARE NOT BIODEGRADABLE. It was A "Travesty." And... "A Labor Of Love." We IMMEDIATELY "Invested" $25,000.00 Clearing & Cleaning, "Healing" The Oaks. With Ropes NOT Spikes. We Bought A Brush Cutter & Cut Down Weeds TALLER THAN ME. At 1st you Couldn't EVEN See The Topography Of The Land. We Renovated an Existing Trailer Adjacent to The Farm House.

Again "I Prayed" HARD & Divine Inspiration Came To me Similar to "Food Being Medicine," that Pachamama, "Mother Earth" is The MOST Potent Healer. I Decided to "Open Up The Land" To Offer To "Others" to Leave Society & Devices Behind. Ground Themselves. FULLY IMMERSING Themselves, Family & Friends in Nature "Maskless." In Order To Breathe Fresh Air. Filling Their Lungs With Life Sustaining Oxygen & Bathe Themselves in Sunshine which Is A PowerFULL Disinfectant, Recharge "Their Souls" & Stimulating Their Third Eye/"Pineal Gland." Helping Others To Re-Boot & BOOST Their Immune Systems. Which is Of The UTMOST IMPORTANCE "Right Now." I Am Lisa Cianci and... I AM Looking Forward To Seeing YOU Here On The Ranch!" Until Then...

The best camping near Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area guide

Overview

About

In the Baldwin Hills, just outside of Culver City, Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area is a great place to get away from the Los Angeles sprawl for the day. Even with no camping allowed, it's a particularly nice spot for hiking, with plenty of trails along with great views out over the city and over to the Hollywood sign. The park is also popular with families, and has multiple playgrounds and picnic areas along with volleyball and basketball courts, two baseball diamonds, an outdoor fitness circuit, and a disc golf course. There's even a fishing lake that's regularly stocked with rainbow trout and catfish.

When to go

The park is open for day use throughout the year, but if you are visiting in the summer months, you're best off coming either early in the morning or just before sunset, when temperatures tend to be cooler and the sun less abrasive. The most pleasant time to visit is in spring and fall, when the weather is warm but not overly hot, though be prepared for overcast days (known as "June gloom") in late spring.

Know before you go

  • Dogs are allowed on paved roads in the park, if leashed, but are not permitted on the trails.
  • On-site parking is available for a daily fee. Annual parking permits are also available, with discounts for seniors and visitors with disabled parking placards.
  • An ADA-accessible shuttle bus runs between the Metro Expo La Cienega Station to Kenneth Hahn State Recreational Area and the nearby Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, but only on weekends and holidays.
  • If you plan to fish in the lake, it's wise to first check about regulations or permit requirements with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
