Private Beach Farm

5 sites · RVs, Tents · Goleta, CA

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!

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.

Weekend Trip to Freedog Farms @ Cactus Flower Ranch

We were only able to stay 1 night but it was truly an amazing experience. Sierra and Darin have built an amazing space on such a beautiful property of land. From the first second we met them, they were very welcoming. They made us feel like we were home. Their hard work in the whole space shows. We brought our Australian Shepherd with us, who didn’t want to leave. We are 11/10 coming back, hopefully for more than just one night. I recommend for anybody that wants/needs to be surrounded by nature and good people.

Weekend Trip to SLO Country Camp

We had a great stay at Ken and Judi’s property. It isn’t in the wilderness, but nestled among fields of grapes. Not really vineyard vibe, but charmingly rural. Our site comes with high top bar made of wine barrels and repurposed door, great for serving drinks and food. There is a picnic table but we mostly ate sitting on lawn chairs around the fire pit. Many other thoughtful touches, attributed to Judi, includes an antique chandelier wired from high tree branches, succulent plants in whimsical containers every where, etc. A bit of BoHo chic vibe. Ken is a gracious host, checking in regularly but not intrusively. The weather helped: hot during the day, but cooled down nicely at night, which made the lack of power hook-up not a problem. This property has made it into my “repeat” list. We’ll be back.

2 nights at Freedog Farms @ Cactus Flower Ranch

Had a wonderful experience at FreeDog Farms! Darin and Sierra are very hospitable and accommodating and overall, just lovely people. Their flexibility on my late arrival was much appreciated and getting a welcome drink in the form of a beer tasting was perfect…it was just what i needed to decompress after a frantic few hours of rounding up supplies and packing up my car for a mid-week camping trip. It became obvious that being great hosts just comes naturally to them. Darin took me for a tour of their property during daylight hours allowing me to survey the different campsites for future camping trips on their property (which will, without a doubt, be in the not-too-distant future). His enthusiasm for what he has built is warranted and contagious! I’m a big fan. The camping was not lacking in any area - easy to find, close to civilization with a 3mile drive to the nearest store, yet on 50 vista filled acres of hilly open space with intermixed patches of forest. I had as much solitude as i wanted and would return to the main area for human interaction and wi-fi, when needed. Thank you, D & S for doing what you’re doing and how you’re doing it and I’m looking forward to future trips!

4 nights at SLO Country Camp

SLO Country Camp was just perfect. I stayed solo with my dog. Great horse ranch property on a street so quiet, it felt like a long driveway. I did not meet Judi, but Ken was attentive and available, yet I felt like I had the place to myself the whole time. Plenty of room to camp, burn a fire, move around and, lots of space to walk the dog. Loved the outdoor shower, and - between that and the sink - I was able to stay four days without loading up my Airstream's smallish tanks or using up my water supply. Location is extremely convenient, and the airport was not a bother. Sounded more like rolling thunder than anything else. 10 minutes from Avila and five from downtown SLO. Stay here, you can't go wrong!

2 nights at Cuyama Oaks Ranch

We stayed on Nathan's farm and were the only guests for two nights (benefits of not camping on the weekend!). It was quiet except for the delightful noises from the goats, pigs, and chickens. The morning and night skies were spectacular. Our campsite was clean with an eco outhouse and separate stand-alone shower. Instructions to get to the farm were easy to follow. Nathan welcomed us into the farm when we arrived. We got to experience rain on the 2nd day--lovely. We appreciated the thoughtfulness that went into the creation our campsite.

Gosh, this is such a serene and lovely place. The location-- along a running creek with steelhead trout, lush trees and ample swimming holes-- feels magical given it's set in the midst of a much dryer and arid landscape. I will certainly return.
