Was an amazing experience for the whole family. The kids loved the hot tubs and seeing the goats was so magical at night walking around plenty of space. Being able to wash our camp dishes in a sink was a special treat.
The house are kind and welcoming. This is a space we enjoyed connecting with fellow travelers as well as quality time with family and the date palms which sheltered us from the wind and provided shade and ambiance creating the perfect camping home. We loved that Sam’s which is a family friendly day pool spot was walkable/bikeable, we had a great day there. Im excited to come back and see what Ronald continues to create with the space. The dates are delicious too, be sure to get a pack!

The kids and I had a great time. The Ramen and the dates were absolutely delicious! The yurt was very spacious and had air conditioning-the mineral spring tub was refreshing after a long day. Little bunnies hopping everywhere….adorable. Very dreamlike setting- thank you Ron, please tell your wife “we miss your ramen!”
Will be back!!

Five star culture does this place a disservice. This went above and beyond my expectations, 10 stars. Ronald is a great host. The site was wonderfully relaxing and romantic. A truly luxuious camping experience. Will definitely be back!

We loved staying on Ronald’s land! Very cool and educational experience. Ronald took time to show and explain to us how dates reproduce. Their Dates are absolutely delicious, as was the home made ramen (absolutely exceptional!).
The camping and property was nice. The spring near our campsite (on-site bell tent) was amazing and refreshing after several days on the road. We will definitely head back for the dates, ramen, spring soaking and Great hospitality. If you consider yourself to be someone who likes a good soak, this is a great spot.
