The ultimate way to experience the outdoors! We cannot wait for you to indulge in Banner Ranch. Nestled in the meadow you will find tent campsites underneath the cover of breathtaking trees. A creek flows through the valley, turkey and deer roam, and wildlife flourishes where the apple orchards once stood. During exploration of the sixty-two acres you will stumble upon many of the ranch nature trails. A spacious layout, perfect outdoor climate, and the company of family and friends is the recipe for a soulful stay in Banner Ranch! From Banner Ranch there is immediate walking access to the California Riding and Hiking Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and the charming town of Julian is a ten-minute drive. Banner Ranch is anchored by a historic General Store soon to offer an array of local handicrafts and refreshments. A stay includes complimentary car parking, restrooms, and is pet friendly. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to book Banner Ranch for a special occasion. Also, let us know if you are interested in booking a tiny house or covered wagon on the ranch for a glamping experience.

T7 - Tent site 7

SIte T7

Actually, it was first camping from Hipcamp and it was just AWESOME! The site was spacious and private. Check in and out is super easy and no rushing. And we enjoyed encountering animals like turkey and friendly donkeys. It would be greater if the restroom maintenance is better. And we were heard NO FIRE at all but the other campers made the fire every night. Policy is confusing. But still I definitely recommend this place to my friends!

T4 - Tent site 4

Hot shower and restroom were great. It was good we were able to move from T4 to T5 and the management allowed it because we had really noisy neighbors left and right. We had bad luck with the people around us because everyone else except for them were quiet and kept to themselves! We had no cell reception (T-mobile) which made it hard for us to communicate with management but good thing another camper offered for us to use his phone. His provider was at&t and had full bars. Some places have more shade and privacy than the rest. Choose T4 is you want a communal space and/or want to socialize. If not, choose a different space. Camp spaces that are more private is better than the rest. We had trouble finding T4 because it wasn’t on the map.

Site T7

We loved our stay at Banner Ranch! Site T7 is beautiful, spacious, and shady. Only downsides were close to road noise and quite a hike to the restroom in the middle of the night, but we loved the wildlife and little creek running through the property. The spigot at our site wasn’t working, but we just used one at a different site for dishes.

Banner Ranch Julian

Overall we enjoyed our stay, a few things I wish I had known prior to staying would be that the sites aren’t very clearly labeled and that each site doesn’t have its own water spigot or trash can. We stayed in T2 which was spacious and had lots of shade. Relatively clean bathrooms and showers (with hot water!) but I wish there were a few more lights leading up the pathway to get there (midnight bathroom trips were pretty spooky, even with a flashlight) Overall I think we will stay there again, just plan a bit differently

It was relaxing we were able to see the wild turkeys roaming around and it was just so relaxing camping here.

Banner Ranch Julian

The campground as a whole is lovely. T8 was def one of the smaller sites with a lot of foxtails everywhere. I would return but would try for a meadow spot next time. Very clean facilities, good location. Note: ~10 degrees warmer than Julian proper in May.
