The camping experience I had at Ellen’s ranch was phenomenal. Our initial nerves were put at ease because Ellen was a very welcoming, friendly and humorous host. I would recommend camping here and packing very warm!

The property is beautiful, accommodations great, but most importantly Ellen was an absolute joy. She made sure that I had everything that I needed, knew my way around the property, and had great recommendations for Jacumba nearby. Can't recommend enough!

Fantastic stay, great view, awesome
What a fantastic stay! This place is very special and I would highly recommend it - especially the high camp. Ellen gave us the tour of both campsites, her amazing work with tie-dye, the miniature horses, and the sage. She was very inviting And I will surely be staying here again.

Can’t wait to go back!!!
I spent two nights solo car camping here. It was amazing! I was far enough away from everything that it was incredibly private, yet close enough that I could easily knock on Ellen’s door if I needed anything. The scenery was beautiful, especially the stars! Ellen was a wonderful host and after showing me around made sure I was free to find her if I needed anything. Other than a couple brief interactions I was completely alone which is exactly what I was looking for! I’ll definitely be returning!! If you are able to, make sure you climb Ellen’s mountain. It’s not the easiest hike and it does require some scrambling over boulders but 1000 % worth it! The views and natural scenery were unbelievable from the vantage point!

Beautiful sacred land
My boyfriend and I came out to camp and celebrate our 2 year anniversary. We had an amazing time on this beautiful property. Fell in love with the dogs and mini horses. Ellen is a breath of fresh air, it was a joy to visit with her! We will be back to celebrate my 40th with friends. I also plan to bring my kids at some point. It’s a great property for all walks of life!
