Started in 2014 by Tim and Michelle Borland and their three kids, the Bar SZ Ranch is a true family business with a mission to help others “forge their legacy.” Set on 2200-acres in its own valley with iconic California oak trees and golden hills; views of the surrounding mountains and Pinnacles National Park; and painted, sunlit skies guests can't get enough of, this working ranch offers unique, getaway camping and glamping experiences for both new and seasoned campers. The Bar SZ Campground is near Pinnacles National Park but relatively remote from other services, which is part of what makes the area so special. It is a place to unplug, share stories and spend time with your family and friends, and explore the wilderness of California. If you’d like to schedule animal feeding, horseback riding, arena riding/horsemanship lessons, or archery/BB gun lessons with us, these are available at an additional cost and a link will be provided for booking. (No activities available on Sundays or Mondays, except for holiday weekends.) From the ranch: Pinnacles National Park East entrance 6.6 miles Nearest Groceries and restaurants: Hollister 36 miles north King City 28.5 miles south Tres Pinos 29.2 miles north The nearest amenities (stores, restaurants, gas) are about 30 miles away so please plan ahead and bring the things you will need during your stay. We have great service for AT&T on the ranch. Do you have an even larger group? Message us if you have a larger event or are interested in a whole campsite/ranch rental.

Great stay close to Pinnacles!
Great location for access to the east/main entrance of Pinnacles national park. Only about a 20 minute drive away. Accommodations were clean and easy to find, and the hosts were very helpful in answering any questions I had. Loved their cat!

The views were beautiful on this ranch, and the animals were so cute. Loved the space and all the amenities (grill, utensils, microwave, sink, etc). Would definitely come back!

Bar SZ Ranch was a treat!
Excellent hosts: Friendly and hospitable. We enjoyed staying on Bar SZ Ranch. The tent sites are right next to each other but with the right set up there is plenty of privacy. The communal camp kitchen was such a bonus and made things a little easier while camping with two little ones. The other huge plus was the opportunity to learn some things about farm animals. Overall great experience and would definitely stay here again.

Great Spot!
Really enjoyed tent camping at the ranch, would go back if the opportunity comes. It’s a great drive through the ranch with views of horses along the way. Great place to see stars and get away for a bit.

Beautiful stay, but very pricey
Good place to stay in nice surroundings. Very calm and quiet and great company from the cats and dogs. Close to Pinnacles so all good. The only downside is the price. For $270 for two nights in off-season I’d expect more than an empty field, porta potties and cold water. Besides that I’d recommend it.
