Pool Ranch is a high desert camp in Ranchita, CA. The property is surrounded by Anza Borrego State Park, BLM land, and Reservation lands. 1.5 hours from San Diego, 2.5 hours from LA. Enjoy being in the center of southern California's dark skies, hiking in the parks, or just relaxing around the ranch.ACCESSIBLE BY 4x4 ONLY. If you do not have a vehicle with high clearance, all wheel drive/four wheel drive, your booking will not be accepted. Overlandia is a small group campsite (2-4 vehicles) in isolation. The site is perfect for small groups who know how to dry camp. No services are provided at these sites other than the plot. Enjoy being tucked away in a private valley surrounded by Anza Borrego State Park. A few steps (literally) and you are in the park and free to roam. Wildlife in the lower valley is abundant. Packes of coyotes can sometimes be seen and often heard, hawks, owls, reptiles, etc. A sweet spot for nature and isolation lovers. The night sky in Ranchita is EXCEPTIONAL. Stargazing, night hiking, etc. Weather can get windy, but for the most part is mild compared to the lower desert. There are two separate units in Overlandia and plenty of flat spots for a tent or your rig. A fire pit and picnic table are provided. The owner lives up the hill but out of site of your camp. Please do not enter the homesite. Overlandia and Homesite are not visible or audible to one another. No water, no restrooms. Please plan to pack out ALL of your waste.
