Santa Paula Eco-Farm Tent/Campsite
This was the coolest campsite I’ve stayed at in years! I got this trip as a gift for my nature-loving partner, and was not disappointed. The area is absolutely teeming with life, and someone who enjoys birdwatching it was great to see so many varieties flying around. We even got a few visits from owls perched on the dome above our tent at dawn (a great horned AND a barn owl, what a treat!). Our hosts were lovely, communicative, and Marcus’s tour around their dinosaur workshop was a real highlight. Looking forward to seeing what they do with this place in the future :)

Unbeatable view of the mountain on one side, beautiful city lights on the other! It was chilly and overcast during the last weekend of May, but tent camping next to the mountain offered such a majestic view. The geodesic dome added a unqiue hangout spot for us, especially for our 5 y.o. Despite arriving relatively late in the evening, Host Anna and her daughter took the extra time and effort to show my family the much anticipated dinosaur fossils just a short walk down from the campsite! Their knowledge/ passion for conservation is inspiring! We also had the neat experience of getting to hang out with the goats (including two baby ones) when the staff handler let them out to graze! As for amenities, while no toilet is provided and fires are not permitted, there are multiple electrical outlets and a water spigot (a short walk away from where we set up our tent near the geodesic structure) that provided much appreciated convenience (electrical hookups were stable enough to power multiple low-power appliances, such as a rice cooker, kettle, and stringed lights). There were not many trees so establishing shade might be needed during hotter weather. Overall, we appreciated both the peaceful privacy at the campsite and freedom to explore the property. We hope to be back soon!

Easy check in and finding out little spot on the hill. Great time meeting the goats.

I loved spending a night at the Eco-Farm! The site was secluded and very peaceful and it was so neat to see all the different structures around the property! Anna was a lovely host and getting to the location was super simple. I’ll definitely be back!

A very special stay
A really lovely backdrop right in nature and yet not far from the little town or Los Angeles. We used the water and electric with no issues. My sons, husband and I were so inspired by Anna & Marcus special collection of fossils as well. A real treat and probably our fav hipcamp so far!
