Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
In 1881 my family purchased this property. It's home to abundant wildlife, our cattle herd and minutes away from the Los Padres National Forest. The area has a rich history, of gold and silver mining and bank robbers. Jesse and Frank James lived at the nearby La Panza Ranch while nursing gunshot wounds. We are a short drive from Pozo Road, where you will find yourself nestled under an oak amongst the season's vegetation. Abundant wildlife in the camp area with pigs, coyotes and Tule elk residing in the mountains on the property. Seasonal birds, wildflowers and cattle grazing.  Hike, bike or just relax on the property and enjoy the star gazing that comes without the city lights. It's just a few minutes down the road to the Los Padres National Forrest but at least 45 minutes to the closest town. If you bring your dirt bikes or ATVs you'll need to enjoy them only while on the forest property. We enjoy our wildlife and work to protect it with rotational cattle grazing. The property has been in the family since 1881; remnants of past farming and livestock operations are ever-present. We look forward to your visit!

In the heart of California ranches
The site is quiet and well signposted. Thanks to Suzan for the details! Remember to cover yourself well because the nights are cool.

Site 4 - 1881 Rangeland Camping
Too wild
This place appeared abandoned , with grass growing tall and unchecked, giving the impression that it hasn't been maintained in some time. We arrived later than planned and felt quite uncomfortable, as the overgrown surroundings made it difficult to see what might be hiding nearby. Additionally, there was no phone signal for miles around. Given the circumstances, we ultimately decided it wasn’t safe to stay the night and had to find alternative accommodation, even though it was already dark. This experience turned out to be a little too wild for us.

Camping in the trees. Quiet.
We had an excellent stay for 2 nights. This place is lovely and remote. Very quiet and the sites have lots of old trees. Our host Susan answered all of our questions. The entrance is almost opposite the fire station - less than 0.1 mile. Easy access for our 32ft travel trailer.

Beautiful. Peaceful. Quiet. Away from everything. It was exactly what I was looking for. I would stay there again!

Beautiful land! It really gave me a feeling of "life on the open range" :). I always see land from.teh highway and really appreciated the opportunity to step foot on it. It also felt like a great adventure without traveling too far from home. The terrain os really pretty, and the stars were wonderful 😊
