Near Pinnacles National Park
Within a 60-minute drive from the East Side Visitor Center.
Started in 2014 by Tim and Michelle Borland and their three kids, the Bar SZ Ranch is a true family business with a mission to help others “forge their legacy.” Set on 2200-acres in its own valley with iconic California oak trees and golden hills; views of the surrounding mountains and Pinnacles National Park; and painted, sunlit skies guests can't get enough of, this working ranch offers unique, getaway camping and glamping experiences for both new and seasoned campers. The Bar SZ Campground is near Pinnacles National Park but relatively remote from other services, which is part of what makes the area so special. It is a place to unplug, share stories and spend time with your family and friends, and explore the wilderness of California. If you’d like to schedule animal feeding, horseback riding, arena riding/horsemanship lessons, or archery/BB gun lessons with us, these are available at an additional cost and a link will be provided for booking. (No activities available on Sundays or Mondays, except for holiday weekends.) From the ranch: Pinnacles National Park East entrance 6.6 miles Nearest Groceries and restaurants: Hollister 36 miles north King City 28.5 miles south Tres Pinos 29.2 miles north The nearest amenities (stores, restaurants, gas) are about 30 miles away so please plan ahead and bring the things you will need during your stay. We have great service for AT&T on the ranch. Do you have an even larger group? Message us if you have a larger event or are interested in a whole campsite/ranch rental.

Campsite #6 - Camp Near Pinnacles National Park
We loved tent camping at Bar SZ Ranch. It's a gorgeous spot, conveniently located near the east entrance to Pinnacles N.P. The camp sites are very spacious, so you don't feel too close to your neighbors. The hosts provided all the amenities you could wish for. And our kids loved playing in the creek. A magical place that we will surely visit again.

Great host BarSz, very committed to helping guests enjoy their time. We couldn’t be happier for them to allow our Bible group to be hosted there. We’re able to make some noise in this big area without too much fuss. Kitchen was very easy setup and to cleanup.

Campsite #6 - Camp Near Pinnacles National Park

We loved staying at the ranch campsite. The huge property is so tranquil, the farm animals were very exciting for our toddlers, and the Borlands treat you like family. We enjoyed seeing a bandage change for a little kitten, feeding the bunnies, and collecting chicken eggs. My friend also enjoyed horse riding. The campsite had everything we needed (and more!) for a one-night stay. It was better than camping at the full (and dull) Pinnacles NP campsite while also allowing easy access to the park. We'll definitely come back!

Great for night sky viewing! The campsites are closer to each other with not much shade and privacy (except 6) but it didn't bother too much as you could walk around the huge farm if you like to go away from other campers.

Awesome facilities, amazing location, wonderful hosts. Could not believe how friendly the owners were and how much they let our little kids “help” with the animal feeding every day. The only thing I’d recommend is to bring a LOT of your own shade and/or plan to be out and about most of the afternoon. The sun is brutal and relentless until it gets behind the wall of the canyon. That said, once the shade does come back, the place is amazing and we had so much fun by the fire the rest of the night. Highly recommend and we will be back!
