This property was obtained around 60+ years ago via the Homestead Act by a family who we have become very close friends with. Over the last 60 years it's only been used sparingly as grazing land for cattle. Since we've obtained the land we've been focused on learning it's history from those who have been here the longest while also being proud BIPOC owners of land in this area. We've also connected with the original people's of this land who were here during the time the land was colonized. We've found ceremonial and everyday pottery, crystals, and underground caves throughout the surrounding properties which we own. Over the last 2 years we've learned about the Redwoods that have been wiped out of the area and that the mountain is eroding quickly. It has become our mission to plant indigenous plants and trees that are extinct from the area, reviving the plant like, reviving the mountain and doing what we can to encourage the water table to rise! Our plans for the 12 acres the campground occupies is to add an outdoor shower that can be used all year, installing solar powered water heaters & bathrooms as well as establishing a community meeting space and a greenhouse where we can host gardening classes and provide fresh fruits and veggies in this food desert! This land is sacred and we intend to continue treating it as such!

A restful stay in a natural setting

Our family of for had a restful stay. Thanks to our hosts for providing a space for us to explore and giving us a tour of the land. Really enjoyed getting to know the land up close and personal. So much space to roam and natural landscape to take in. We had the whole campground area to ourselves to explore!

Quiet refuge, plus farm fresh eggs!

Thank you, Cristina and Daniel, for sharing your spacious land and gracious hospitality with us. For travelers seeking quiet refuge off the 117, near Techado, Sustainable Camping Close to Nature is the place to rest. Privacy assured and endless hiking possibilities. The farm fresh eggs were also a treat. Highly recommend.

Camping on the Mountain was great. We arrived late, around 10pm, and were received warmly and we were given a quick tour of our campsite. Campsite was clean, secluded, quiet, safe, had LOTS of fire wood ready to be enjoyed, and were even left with a shower, water, and other goodies. Very happy with our stay. Would definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you Cristina!
