Site 5 - Beachin' ranch camping w/ horses
The most unique camping experience
Overall this was a really great and fun experience. However, I must be honest in my review. This sight was not quite as advertised. It is quite far from the beach, and the closest beaches are experiencing a sewage crisis, so we had to travel further than we thought to a beach. The campsite is quite small. We were the only campers at the time, but it would be quite cramped if there were other campers. You are sleeping directly next to horse stalls. However, they are kept very clean and the smell was something we only noticed a few times. It was very cool to hang out with the horses, and you can pet some of them. However, this sight is not very private as business continues as usual on this horse ranch. We witnessed a horse dental cleaning and many owners riding their horses. We did not mind this at all, but if you’d like a private sight, this isn’t for you. You can see the Mexico boarder from here, and the ranch is next to a road where boarder patrol and other cars are frequent, so it is not too quiet at night. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.
The portapotty was kept very clean and there was a shower, which was a pleasant surprise. In the shower were snails and little frogs, which completely made this trip worth it for us.
Overall, we loved our time here and would stay again. If you’re up for the adventure, i 100% recommend. If you like a more quiet, private sight or something with more amenities or closer to the beach, this is not for you.

Site 5 - Beachin' ranch camping w/ horses
The people here are super nice. However, the spot leaves a lot to be desired. It's not so much as a camping site as a patch of grass next to a large horse paddock. The only bathroom is a porto-potty that is inside the horse enclosure. There is no specific water source, though there are hoses around. The sprinkler system started before dawn and woke us up. We were in the middle of enjoying a fire outside when a worker came and put a tall metal ring around the fire, explaining this was "necessary for the horses," making it impossible to see the fire. No one was there to greet us when we arrived and were given literally no information about anything whatsoever.
Again, the people are very nice. We were booked for 5 nights but realized right away that the spot wouldn't work and we were refunded 4 nights without question, after leaving the next morning.
If you love horses and you don't mind a lack of facilities, then this spot could be great for you. The guy that takes care of the horses is super nice as well. The horses are wonderful however it would be nice to have a separate area to camp in, away from the horses (who can be very loud at times), something with an actual bathroom that has it's own dedicated area.

Site 1 - Beachin' ranch camping w/ horses
The pictures are not accurate. This place is a working horse stable. Be prepared to sleep next to horse stalls if you’re in a tent. It’s a busy area and it was loud through the night. Host is very nice. If you’re into horses maybe check it out.

Site 5 - Beachin' ranch camping w/ horses
Sleeping in horse stables
Sites 6-4 are small patches of grass in a dirt lot sitting directly against metal fence horse stables. Site 5 has porta potties sitting directly next to its picnic table, which were pumped at about 8:00-9:00am. Porta potties aside, the entire area had a pungent smell of sewage runoff due to its close proximity to the Tijuana River, and horse stables. I would not recommend this site to tent campers or rooftop tent campers, but sleeping in an RV might reduce the smell somewhat, and noise from the busy road sitting directly next to site 6. Although the owner was extremely friendly and allowed our 5-year old daughter to pet her horses, I would not stay here again and would not recommend it.

Site 6
The owner was sweet and location is very nice.
We enjoyed being nature so much.
But restroom, shower and sink outside, it was not clean and we saw so many ants inside of restroom. The restroom smell was not good.
If owner can take care of cleaning or invest for amenities, it would be wonderful!
