I would have given it a five stars for the TOUR EXPERIENCE, if not for somethings that could be better as a business. We were the only customers - like having a private party. Great! Mathew and Dylan were nice young men and great tour guides, very attentive, constantly paying attention to the group, slowing down to allow the group to stay together, led us to fun "dunes" to roam free. Take it from our 17 years old twins, who had been to Oceano Dunes SVRA (Pismo Beach area): This was better! Suggestions: 1. Clear up the website information. Delete the old, outdated addresses and phone numbers (I did my homework and got all the right information. Easy to find the operation location with that.) 2. Train the guides on first aid and have a first aid kit with them. (ATV fell on me - always blame someone or something else! LOL. I had the Band-Aid. Four stitches hours later at a Kaiser ER in San Diego.)

I would give zero stars if I could…read more Preliminarily, I would like to note that they offer a free t-shirt for anyone who writes a positive review, which violates Yelp policies and suggests the few positive reviews may be "bought" instead of legitimate... Some wives organized a dune tour for our husbands on Sunday, May 17, 2026, and unfortunately, the Yelp reviews, which show a clear pattern of fraudulently retaining deposits and double charging customers, were not reviewed before the primary organizer who selected this company. Regrettably, every negative review about this company is 100% correct. This experience was negative from the get go: -Upon arrival, they did not have the can-ams that were pre-ordered -The company was incredibly disorganized and were inexcusably ready extremely late after we arrived but had an "excuse" for everything (lost an oil dipstick for one, had to put air in the tires on another, had to put gas in ALL of the ATVs, all of which should have done before the customers arrived) -We paid a deposit of $2,161.96 but were told that they would not necessarily retain the full deposit -One member of the group did, unfortunately, flip his ATV, and they acknowledged there was some damage and never disputed that the group would cover it; however, the company (Chris, specifically) promised an itemized invoice for the damages. The following is what transpired: *Monday, 5/18 - Chris said he would send invoice *Thursday, 5/28 (1.5 weeks later) - We e-mailed asking for the itemized invoice and security deposits of $1,332.13 and $1,545.00 *Monday, 6/1 (2 weeks after promised the invoice) - Told we would have the breakdown this week *Sunday, 6/7 (3 weeks after the ATV tours) - Asked "Has there been any update on the price/invoice of the breakdown of damages?" *One of the husbands in our group disputed the charge for the deposit given (1) he had not yet received the itemized invoice he had been promised and (2) we had not received evidence to suggest any potential damage equated to the amount of the deposit, meaning there could have been an overcharge *Thursday, 6/11 - Upon learning of the chargeback, Chris sent the attached photographs of threatening messages (these are his own words) threatening with completely incorrect and inaccurate recitations of the law, which were barely comprehensible given Chris' lack of even an elementary level of proper grammar and syntax

There is a restaurant, bar and multiple pool areas on site which is very nice when you are remote (no Ubers and no service). Staff was very friendly and kind, bartender Jay was an EXCEPTIONAL host who has created a fun environment in the bar, killer playlists and even set up karaoke for his guests upon request. Highly recommended getting a cheeseburger and meeting the locals who reside on the property. Cannot thank them enough for having us and showing us around. Would love to go back next time to hike and have some more downtime for the pool. THANK YOU JAY & TEAM. Can't wait to visit again.

Overall, our stay was disappointing, and we ended up leaving after the first night. It was…read moreextremely hot, but more importantly, it just wasn't the peaceful camping experience we were looking for. There were fire ants everywhere, and I wish I were exaggerating when I say that cockroaches were literally crawling on both of us during the night. The campground was also very noisy, with loud music until around 10 p.m. and people driving by our tent talking loudly in the middle of the night, making it difficult to sleep. It also felt more like a full-time RV park than a campground, so it lacked the atmosphere we were hoping for. The only real positives were the clean bathrooms and the grassy area for dogs. There is a pool and jacuzzi, but neither was anything special. The pickleball courts are rundown but still usable. Unfortunately, the noise, insects, heat, and overall atmosphere outweighed the positives, and we wouldn't stay here again.

Agua Caliente Campground offers a relaxing oasis in the desert for day trips or overnight camping…read more Campers can choose from tent sites, various RV hookups, or small cabins depending on their setup. There are three mineral pools: two outdoor pools (including one kid-sized) and an indoor heated pool. There's also a shared locker room for men and women with individual changing rooms, restrooms, and showers for guests. Larger restroom facilities are available on site, along with horseshoe pits, shuffleboard, and a playground (which was under construction when we visited). There's little to no cell service in the area, but some Wi-Fi is available near the pool. When you arrive, you'll stop at the ranger station near the entrance to pay the day-use or camping fee and receive your pass. The posted signage clearly lists the different rates for using the grounds. Overall a nice, simple getaway if you're looking to soak in the mineral pools and enjoy some quiet desert scenery.

Goat Canyon Trestle is near Jacumba California. It is the world's largest all-wooden train trestle…read more It is probably one of the most adrenaline pumping difficult hikes I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing! IMPORTANT: there are two trails to the trestle. The shorter route, Mortero Palms, is a 6 mile hike that includes strenuous rock climbing, steep descents and route finding. Do not take this shorter route as it brings you to a cliff that requires rope rappelling. The longer route about 16 miles is the easier of the two, with abandoned train cars and tunnels. However it is on private property that is trespassing. In summer temperatures can exceed 100 degrees with little to no shade. I recommend bringing 3-4 gallons of water and electrolyte replacement. You also need to be aware of hidden rattlesnakes in the rocks and brush. It is suggested to have an offline gps for navigation. The shorter route requires a high profile vehicle to the trailhead and the longer route you can pay to park at the nearby nudist camp (no joke lol). The nudists charge a nominal fee to park there. It is important to research this trail and be prepared.

IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIKING THIS 16 MILE TRAIL. Goat Canyon Trestle is very…read moredeep in the Anza Borrego desert and far from any outside help with a strenuous walk (or bike) trail being bordered by either cliffs, cholla cacti, broken wood and caved in tunnels. No shade on top of a possible TRESPASSING FINE either from parking incorrectly or getting caught walking on the rails, I do not recommend it. This is not an easy hike, but oh man it was BEAUTIFUL AND AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Mountain bikes can go through fairly quickly, just don't fall off the cliffs (Especially around tunnel 8). Goat Canyon Trestle is the WORLD'S LARGEST wooden trestle (basically a bridge but held up by toothpicks) and its hike in Carrizo Gorge makes it a seldom visited spot. You'll see abandoned train cars, rattlesnake nests, cholla cactus along the way, and it's a wonderful trip for the brave and adventurous. Apart from 2 bypasses, getting to Goat Canyon is pretty flat. Parking is possible before the sign, or you can enter the gated Jacumba nudist colony office for $5 (they open at 9) You'll want the following to travel to Goat Canyon: -3L of water -Alltrails offline map (you can seriously get lost before the first tunnel) -Sunscreen (apart from the tunnels and cars there's literally no shade the whole way) - pliers to remove the cholla cactus sticking in you -Start early in the day and in the spring/fall as temps aren't too bad -Steel balls and no fear of heights -walk 6/8 hours on fairly flat terrain There are some mini trestles along the way that look like the wood is severely decayed. Tunnels 5 and 8 are blocked, so follow the well worn trail with a lot of man made debris. The hikingguy.com dude probably has the best picture step by step on how to navigate the tunnel bypasses. Overall, the payoff is great. It's more of an endurance test with how long the trail runs.
