Gracewood Santa Barbara

This is an historic ranch with buildings dating from the 1880's to the mid 1930's and then some newer and spacious structures.  See management for tours, history and accessibility to some structures and areas.  This is a working ranch with a fascinating heritage going back three owners to an impressive land grant.  There are 6 miles of trails and roads on the ranch shared by vehicles, hikers and equestrians.  A map can be provided which will insure that neighboring properties are not trespassed on.  All visitors to the ranch must have checked in with the office and management.  There is an extra charge of $40.00 per person per day coming onto the ranch whether they are spending the night or just visiting.  This charge is beyond and in addition to the charge made for the first four individuals on the reservation for each day.  We find that many of our regular clients on the ranch are very friendly and helpful.

Only 1 site is exclusively available right now 

Come stay at our rustic campsite under some large oak trees next to a little open area by an ecological pond on our working ranch!

With 54 acres for our horses and avocados, we welcome guests to camp on a somewhat private part of the ranch (on occasion, equestrians may ride by). We can accommodate up to 8 more campers depending on the group type. We love welcoming families to the ranch, but like to approve larger groups ahead of time!

At the campsite you'll find picnic tables, a fire pit for small fires, and running water.

Minimal 110 Volt electrical outlet is at the campsite.

There is a fully functional unique bathroom made out of a converted horse trailer with a toilet and sink a few hundred yards from the site. Walking around the property, you'll see an activity barn and a historic 19th century cottage which houses a private library. Permission may be granted for entry to these structures if requested. There is an outdoor shower at the campsite with cold water only. Some firewood may be provided at no cost.

Campers, making reservations during cold winter months when the otherwise beautiful weather becomes cooler, should be aware that because of the proximity of a wind machine which makes a noise like a helicopter about 300 yards away from the campsite, on a neighboring property,  may interrupt an otherwise peaceful and quiet experience.

 The wind machine comes on automatically when the temperature drops to around 37 degrees so that avocados in the orchard do not suffer from a freezing temperature. Please note the trigger temperature for the machines is taken at individual low points on the adjacent property and may reflect as many as 6 degrees lower than what is found on forecast sites. 

 This machine probably might turn on maybe 7 nights in a year and only during the cold winter months.

Headlamps are a great idea, otherwise, flashlights for sure.

Minimal 110 V. electricity at campsite.

The library and restroom are a little ways away from the campsite
have lighting but it is very dark between the campsite and those facilities.

We are located only two miles to the ocean beaches and about a mile to a major shopping center. UCSB is just minutes away. Bicycling is very easy as all roads and access are flat.

Please return all furniture to the place(s) from which it was moved and thank you for putting out your fire(s) and carrying out your trash to the dumpster when leaving the campsite.

Climb the ladder up this awesome tree for a view of the luscious creek below!

On the property is this building that was built in the 1800s. It now has a library inside that guests can peruse. 

A tent, a firepit and a body of water. Our three campsite essentials!

Trails, primitive roads, mountains.. a true adventure at this ranch. 

This beautiful pond is alive with flora and fauna. 

The swing is so peaceful and a perfect place to sit and watch the wildlife!

You'll have access to private beach / famous surf spot, known as Ed's Beach. 

Private Beach Farm

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!

Our lovely hosts Fred and Jinger! Ask them for a tour of the permaculture / aquaponics systems! 

To get to the beach, walk down the path and cross the railroad with caution, Amtrak regularly comes through (super cool to see it whiz by!)

Dare 2 Dream Farms

Dare 2 Dream Farms began in 2009 as a small scale egg farm. Today we raise and sell chickens from Los Angeles to San Francisco and sell eggs at over 20 egg retailers from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles county. The farm has 1.5 acres of organic produce growing. Nestled in the back of a canyon with old growth oaks and eucalyptus, the birds chirping in the canyon in the wee hours of the morning and the beautiful stars at night are two of the things that make the farm a magical place to live, work, and host others.

Fire pit with chairs to enjoy in the evening, there is also a grill if you want to cook on that!

we opt to camp in the car, but there's plenty of space for up to three tents

camp area with picnic table and chairs :) 

Seating and dining area inside. This area is such a perfect nook for reading a book or enjoying a cup of coffee, the light is beautiful 

salmon and squash are on the menu for dinner

camp is at the end of the dead end street

The bed in the back of the airstream, very cozy and cute!

The airstream is equipped with cooking supplies and plenty of dish ware

We have been doing this for a while now and we absolutely love it.  We’ve learned a lot along the way so the following information, I know it’s a lot of info, please read in its entirety so that you get the most out of your stay with us.

We chose to offer sites on a PER PERSON PRICING bases rather than a flat rate for each site. This way solo campers have affordable pricing and access to our camp.

PICKING YOUR CAMPSITE: When we are not sold out we place campers at campsites on a first-come-first-serve basis upon arrival.  If we are sold out we will pre-pick your campsite based on where we feel each of our campers will be happiest given their individual camp set up, i.e. Tent, Van, Trailer, RV, and size of the group.

All of our sites are spread out with plenty of space for social distancing.

DRY CAMPING: All of our sites are DRY camping (no water/electricity.) We provide a picnic table and one umbrella and a propane fire pit with a propane tank.  Please bring additional shade structures if you think you’ll need more shade.

Our best sites, with little-to-no traffic noise, (and the best views) are on our back property.  Best suited for tents, camper vans, trucks, and SMALL trailers or SMALL RVs.  There is a semi-steep hill up to our upper property if you're towing a trailer you will need a powerful vehicle to make it up the hill.

Sites on our lower property by the common area are easily accessible with views up the hills/mountains but come with some highway noise.  We imagine it sounds like waves crashing and call it the "steel river."  

For your private camp area, please bring your own drinking water, water to wash dishes and if think you'll need: chairs, camp tables, umbrellas or shade structures, trash bags/cans (throw your trash in the dumpster out side our entry gate when you leave. 

Plan on being fully self-sufficient.  Otherwise, feel free to use the common area BBQ, Sink, tables and chairs at the barn until 10 pm.

MOST DOGS WELCOMED...  WE PROHIBIT UN-neutered aggressive breed dogs.  

DOGS ARE FREE TO RUN UNLEASHED ALL OVER OUR LAND. The front of our property is all. Fenced. The back property just has barbed wire.

ABOUT OUR DOGS: We have one female dog and three male dogs (one of the three is UN-NEUTERED) a 10-year-old yellow lab (Titan-Dan.)  A 14-year-old American Dingo (Reno.)  5-year-old Great Pyrenees (Bandit.) And then there is Cannoli a 7-year-old female Great Pyrenees who adopted us we saw her come through the bushes from the neighbors property across the highway… She ran across the highway and jumped the medium and ran up to our gate, she hasn’t left since…

COMMON USE AREA:  Inside and near the barn include tables, chairs, hammocks, wood fire pit, outdoor propane BBQ and stove, wash sink and outdoor mineral shower, and mineral cold plunge tubs.

FIRE SAFETY and PROPANE FIREPITS:  We have “very safe” propane firepits and fire extinguishers at every site. Under the right conditions, we will light a real wood fire at the common area by the barn.  Feel free to join us in the early evening until 10pm.  

PORTA-POTTIES: We have porta-potties next to the Barn, the Garden, Running Dog Flats, and the Art Studio.  They are pumped clean every Thursday and are generally very lightly used.  If you don’t want to use the porta-potties we recommend/encourage you to bring your own camp toilet, bags, and absorbent. 

WILDLIFE: Our dogs do a great job of fending off the resident bobcat and coyotes on the front portion of our property and by the barn, if they are barking in the night there's a reason. If you end up camping on the front portion of our property and think their barking will affect your sleep, bring earplugs ;-).

Drinking-WATER, Dish Washing Water and Shade:  All of our sites are dry camping i.e. there is no potable water available. Please bring all your own drinking/dishwashing water.  We have a picnic table and 1 umbrella at all the sites. Please bring additional shade i.e. easy up or other shade structures if you think you'll need it.    

Cold Mineral Dunks and Hot Outdoor Mineral Shower: We have huge aluminum cowboy cold dunk tubs available at what we lovingly/jokingly refer to as our very own “Cactus Flower Beach,”  which is not a real beach… It feels like a beach because we’ve decked it out with lounge chairs, a daybed cabana, 150K pounds of sand and tiki-hut umbrellas.  It’s fun to hang out there when it’s hot under the shade of the pepper trees.   

NOTE:   The Outdoor Shower screening is a tad see-through. If you are shy, wear a bathing suit.  

Please limit showers to 3-5 minutes max.  

Mineral Water Definition: Water from a mineral spring or well (i.e. our well) that contains various minerals, such as salts and sulfur compounds.  

TRASH: Please pack all your trash out to the large trash bin located at the entrance to our property. Please take your recycling with you.   

ELECTRICITY and Wi-Fi:  We have charging stations in the barn for your computers, phones, etc. Password: HowdyDoody (Accessible in and near the barn common area.)  

COMMISSARY:  We have farm fresh eggs and meats from the pork palace across the street, and other swag i.e Hats for sale in the barn.

Each campsite and area has its own name and each one has a story to tell. Make sure and ask Darin & Sierra about it!

We loved having our own table and fire pit to enjoy at our campsite.

Handcrafted signs point you in the right direction! And they all have a story behind them.

Sierra & Darin have 25 hens which means tons of fresh eggs for you to buy!

The yoga/meditation deck has incredible views in the morning, but sunset is the best time to head up there.

Sierra was hard at work the morning we left, getting ready for a busy weekend. Also note the beautifully crafted beer wall around her!

Darin took us on a tour of the land before we headed out and of course Bandit had to ride along with us!

Our new goat "Furiosa" thinks she's a dog!
