Site 1 - Road Warriors - Dry RV Camping
Desert boondocking
We had a great stay here! We got to see some puppies and a bunch of farm animals. The host was very friendly and we enjoyed hanging with him. We spent 2 days there and did some dirt biking across the road at Ballinger canyon.

Site 1 - Road Warriors - Dry RV Camping
Communication not good
Because we arrived and it was dark, it was really hard to find the place. Found ourselves in the middle of an orchard after we drove exactly as we were told. I tried calling the host three times from my phone and also texting him from the app but he didn't reply. Only the fourth time. While I tried to call through the hip app, I was able to get a hold of him. Also, by that time I was able to find the place. We were greeted by a very nice gentleman that showed us around and also welcomed us in the morning. He let us feed the animals which was nice. Overall the place is not being taken care of. Underwhelming but if you need a place to stay a night, it's relatively okay.
Communication wise it wasn't the best experience after driving in the dark, it would have been nice if he would have picked up the phone or the texts.

What a beautiful place to escape the city and catch a meteor shower. Very simple but exactly want we needed, a table and BBQ for cooking, a bathroom and place to pitch a tent. An added bonus of being able to feed the deer located on the property. We even got to interact with the boss of the property Gertal, she sure is sassy haha. Our favorite part was laying out on the platform next to the boat seeing all the stars and meteors. What a magical place.

Unique and unforgettable!
Had the pleasure of doing some car camping out here Memorial Day Weekend. Stars everywhere and animals everywhere. The animals will follow you around. You are definitely roughing it a bit and it’s about a 20min drive into town so be prepared!

Not what it seems.
This site is most definitely a work in progress and does not look anything like the pictures posted here. I ended up camping in the monument instead.

Chasing wildflowers
Thomas is wonderfully helpful- he explained to us that the money he makes from camp rentals goes back to the property, which he’s working on restoring. He gave us advice on where to find current blooms and even offered to have us plant a tree on the property.
The nearby town of New Cuyama is really cute- the coffee shop/diner is worth stopping at! Take a drive down Soda Lake Rd to enjoy the San Andreas fault, Soda Lake, and Corrizo National Monument.
That being said, this is definitely roughing it/a place to sleep and enjoy a nice fire. It was cold at night in early May, but Thomas was nice enough to accommodate us with a futon, bedding, and a pillow, which was really helpful. The wildlife is up close and personal here, so expect to fall asleep to coyotes in the distance and grasshopper mice scurrying through the brush. The full moon was magical, but I wish we could have seen the amazing stars we heard so much about.
