This is an incredibly historic site in Santa Barbara history. 2 tribes of Chumash Indians lived here for 10,000 years. This is where Spain landed and began colonizing the area. In the 1950's and 60's, this was the site of the World's largest orchid farm. There is a book called The Royal Rancho, if you are a history buff. We are a farm on the beach just North of Santa Barbara and Goleta, Ca. You will camp in a historic, glass greenhouse with incredible ocean views. Inside is a cob pizza oven that works awesome. (Bring your own firewood),,, a place to pitch tents and tiny artistic structures to explore. You will have a private bath and shower (Primitive, no electricity, but the hot shower has the best view in the world of any shower!) Bring your own toiletries and whatnot. Private beach access from our property. We have a barnyard with a multitude of farm animals. Limited electricity in greenhouse (A couple of extension chords). The fire ban is ONLY for open campfires. The pizza oven and YOUR bbq or propane flame is fine. If you are camping during the rain, be advised, it gets wet in the greenhouse. It's an antique after all!$200 base price is for two people. All additional  day or night campers are $75 a day/night.   *****LOOK***** BE ADVISED, at times, the property has events with upwards of 100 people. These events are not in your space, nor near you, but you will see people walking around and will hear music in the distance usually from 3 pm until 10:15 pm. Most, if not all Saturdays will have these types of events We are a farm on the beach just North of Santa Barbara and Goleta, Ca.

Perfect get away !!
The private beach farm was spectacular !!! The greenhouse was perfect to pitch a tent - make a pizza and spend some quality family time. The barnyard was extra special as well !! A quick walk to the private beach with the picnic table and shelter was super terrific !!!! It was extremely hot this weekend- but stayed pretty cool at the greenhouse and perfect at beach. The farm is just far enough away from the city lights to see all the stars and milky way !!!

Private Beach Farm
A romantic escape with 1970 vibes
Our little beach farm adventure fully fulfilled our dreams: An idyllic location with the charm of good old times, undisturbed adventures at the beach, goats & chickens that excited our daughter, and romantic evenings at the campfire. I want to especially highlight the unique romantic spirit of the green house. Initially, we were impressed by the enormous variety of the plants and the sheer size & variety of our private camping location. The initial setup is as inspiring as the many photos in Hipcamp suggest. The real charm of the location unfolds once you get settled, have set up your tent, and spend the first evening cuddling at the campfire. All the little items in the greenhouse give you the feeling to be part of that little hippie community that must have once lived here. You absorb the harmony that so many people (and especially the initial community) felt at this place before. This place is truly an authentic escape. Beyond the green house, there are so many things to do on the farm and around it. We spent a lot of time feeding the animals, we discovered AirBnBs & skate camps nearby, we dug deep at the beach, and we had amazing hikes in the nearby neighborhood. Only limitation (-1 star): We found numerous broken glass pieces in the green house and therefore needed to train our daughter to continuously wear shoes. In addition, there are numerous nails that stuck out at the wall of the shower. It would be great if the owner could address these safety concerns.

The property was very nice. The value of the camp is close access to a mostly private, pristine beach. I would return for that reason.

Beautiful and unique, w/ drawbacks
This property is so unique and private! There are some incredible views. The farm animals were a fun experience the sunsets were incredible. Unfortunately, the green house you sleep in has a lot of critters (rats, ants, spiders) and the private beach smells like tar (we got tar on our bodies and bathing suits that were very difficult to remove). Swimming in the ocean was something we were most looking forward to. This hipcamp cost a group of 6 over a thousand dollars for 2 nights. That’s a significant amount of money- so these are some things to consider!
