Excellent camping experience in a historic greenhouse. Worth it for the price for this unique location and features. Fred and Jinger have been great with their comms as well. Our second time and won’t be our last.

The private campsite had a clean bathroom, and the host was very thoughtful and kind with their messages. We really liked the setup overall.
But after around 9–10 PM, there were so many dog noises that it became really hard to get my little girls to sleep in the tent. At one point we almost packed up and left, because we kept hearing 10–15 different sounds and we honestly couldn’t tell if they were dogs, coyotes, or something else. It felt like they might come close to the tent, and that really scared us.
We also noticed what looked like dog urine around the site. We’re not pet owners, so that was uncomfortable for us. It could have been from wild coyotes, so I don’t want to blame the host, but the nonstop dog/coyote noises went on for hours and we couldn’t sleep.
There were also a lot of motorcycles in the area, and some were riding even late at night.
We left the campsite cleaner than we found it, but unfortunately, because of the nighttime dog/coyote noises, we don’t think we would return.

It was incredibly calm and peaceful in the greenhouse and throughout the property. We could hear the ocean at night. It was really nice to be able to let our pups run around off-leash inside, especially in the morning so I could sleep in. Be sure to bring a towel for the shower.

It was in the same area as the Highway 62 Art Tour sites (weekends Oct 1 - 21) and not far from Joshua Tree National Park. There are a couple of houses within 1/2 mile. I enjoyed staying there and the dark night sky and the stars.

This place really is good vibes! Came and stayed for the weekend and had a really enjoyable time. The hosts were very friendly and really wanted to make sure we had a good time. The dogs on site were very friendly as well and came over to hangout with us a bit.
These hosts really give a vibe of wanting to share their little slice of heaven with you and make sure you are enjoying yourself. I will definitely be back to enjoy this relaxing place.

We drive from Northern California to Southern California and back to nice to have a fun stop along the way. He had fun with all the animals, and camping under the stars. My husband loved the location and was happy the dog could run free.

The large cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. I highly recommend buying the carrots and firewood bundle. My kids LOVED feeding the animals and making s'mores!

What a magical experience and stay! Great for families, brought our two little ones and they loved the animals, the stars, the passing trains, and the private beach. Pizza oven was a hit! The girls loved making pizza and watching it cook. Also loved exploring the various greenhouses, we left inspired for our own home garden.
Appreciated the fresh drinking water and running water for washing our dishes and showering after a day at the beach!
Beautiful sunsets and moon rises. The lighting in the greenhouse at night was so cozy. Kept our food closed up in a snap lid bin (especially at night) had hungry visitors like raccoons and mice sneaking around.
Overall, fantastic weekend!

1 night at Lone Juniper Ranch
It’s a beautiful ranch with such a great atmosphere. Our hosts were very accommodating and the animals were absolutely amazing. The eggs were delivered by their son I think and it was such a wholesome experience. I already miss the view and the air there I would definitely come back(:

Weekend Trip to GoodVibes Ranch Disc Golf & Camping
GOODVIBES is just that. Gives you a great feeling of open spaces and nature. The hosts Bernie and Dana are wonderful people , friendly and helpful. This was my second time camping in my Xterra and I loved it. Sundays they had a live band playing and they were really good . It’s a go to place if you want to relax, enjoy a conversation or just do your own thing . I will definitely go back.
