Saddle Up Ranch is a horse rescue that is ever growing. We have over 180 trees on the property (mostly beautiful flowing California Pepper Trees) and have gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains and horse pastures.We offer horseback riding, goat yoga, and goat milking. You can also volunteer and help care for the animals while you are here by feeding, grooming or simply petting them. TJ, our owner, is working her way through the race track. Our campsites are managed by Tony. He works closely with guests to expand our campsites. TJ and many of the guides volunteer hard hours to rehabilitate the horse and give them a good home. You should see how the animals flock to TJ. The ranch also has goats, pigs, chickens, dogs and cats. You can support our mission of rescuing horses by booking one of our horseback riding or other services! Thank you for your support! Guests love staying here: "Second stay and looking forward to returning again! <3 We were the only campers during the weekend, it was so serene. It gets very cold at night but the star filled skies are breathtaking. This time during our stay we had 3 kitty visitors and 3 dogs that rolled up to our camp multiple times, it felt like they were checking up on us. It was so cute. The sweet Aussie poked his head in our tent to say "you good?" haha It was so cute and they were extremely friendly and social! The black kitten stayed at our camp all night and cuddled on our laps by the fire. It was such a lovely experience. TJ and her crew have done an amazing job with this place, I don't have enough words to explain. Just see for yourself! You'll love it!! Can't wait to visit again!"

Stayed at campsite 1 with my two doggos. What a great night we had. The horses were so beautiful to look at. We got lucky and were the only ones at the cluster of sites. Had to get a spontaneous camping trip in for night, the local campground was booked out. And I’m glad it was, it was great to find this gem available. I loved how I could book it instantly. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Small site right next to the horse pens, took my 3 yr old here and he loved feeding the horses and goats. It’s fairly close to highway 79 but the noise wasn’t too noticeable. Great hosts, very friendly. Looking forward to coming back and booking some horseback rides next time!

Wow, what a treat! My weekend stay at this spot was awesome! To be surrounded by so many beautiful horses, and to be able to volunteer my time and help out the owner (TJ) and just have a weekend to myself was exactly what I needed. TJ is phenomenal and what she does to help the horses is nothing short of a selfless act. The horse back ride I went on was calming and fun too! I recommend this place for sure.

We had the best time camping on this property! It was private, peaceful, and had such a cute setup. The hosts were welcoming, and we loved getting to interact with the animals—petting them was definitely a highlight! Horseback riding was an unforgettable experience and made the trip even more special. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with a touch of adventure, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

LOVED this place! I stayed at site #12 and it was pretty private, it had beautiful views of the mountains and overlooked the ranch. Came with my gf, brother and mom and we all enjoyed it so much. We were thrilled to pet and feed the animals on the ranch and all the beautiful horses! Highly recommend it, the host was awesome and her do Coco is the sweetest! Will be back for second round for the horseback riding!
