The site space was huge, definitely able to accommodate 3+ tents. The sites are spread out enough so you don't feel like you're right on top of each other, which was great. They don't sell firewood at the camp, so make sure you bring some, or visit the market about 5 miles down the road. You'll pass a cute Bar (Garage 79) and a nice vineyard (Hawk Watch), which are worth a stop. Directly across the street is the Oak Grove Trailhead which was about 5 miles roundtrip up to the service road and back. The hike has great views! I really enjoyed this campground for a quick weekend getaway.

Each campsite comes with a fire pit, picnic table, and BBQ and wood fires are allowed. The campsites are close together and there isn't a lot of tree cover to give the illusion of privacy. Some campsites are better than others but all in all this was a great weekend getaway and the stargazing is unreal. Sites 49 and 51 on the Ribbonwood loop looked to be my favorites and I'll definitely book one of them next time. There aren't showers at this campground but there are flushing pit toilets and running water to wash hands and dishes. I wasn't able to find anyplace to throw out trash, so we wound up driving out with it to dispose of later. The host doesn't sell fire wood, but some can be purchased about 5 minutes down the road at the Rainbow Farms Market. ($7.99/bundle of pine.)

We stayed at the Cowboy Glamping Tent, which was very spacious and clean. One thing to note is we had seen some pics on Hip Camp that showed the tent had a large fridge, which we planned on using, but when we arrived there was no fridge on site so we had to do a few ice runs for our cooler. The campground is conveniently located that we could do quick runs for necessities if needed. The bathroom was easily accessible and again, very clean. Overall, it was a very relaxing 2-night stay and we'd definitely come back. We used the pool, fire pits, and although we didn't use it, there is a nice game room that has a pool table, air hockey, and foosball.

Def would come back here and would recommend doing business with them--probably even camp here on personal time! Their dirt parking lot was spacious enough to accomodate our small crew of 15 people + a 30 ft motorhome. There's a pavilion and bathrooms they offered for us to use (didn't even need a motorhome except for our editor to use as an office). It's also private property so does not need to be included on film/photo permits. But make sure to have some prod insurance to ensure everyone is taken care of just in case! Thanks Troy + team!

Originally I booked a campsite at oak grove in San diego County but when I went I saw that all the lots were so close to each other and there were no wood to gather, it was disappointing. I love disperse camping. I don't like people around and bathrooms and showers and all that. I suppose "glamping" isn't my thing. I was so disappointed at oak grove I had to find another site last minute. I stopped by a mini gas station along the road near oak grove to ask if they knew any disperse camping near by. She recommended Los coyotes but wasn't sure if it was open. I really didn't want to drive down to Anza Borrega. That was too far. We decided to try los coyotes and the drive seemed kind of sketchy. We kept going per the direction of the gas station worker/owner. Finally, we got to the entrance of the Indian reservation. Right there was the police station as well. We asked the security guard about camping here. He was very nice and helpful. He said we could drive there and check it out. If we like it, it will be 25$ a night. So we drove up, and it's a sort of windy, narrow path leading to finally what was a dirt road. It broke off to upper level and lower level camping. And to the left was a trail parking. We chose the lower level camping. The road was muddy and slippery. We also saw some snow here and there. It was very open! We were also the only ones there! Which was perfect. This place was beautiful! Sooooo, we decided to stay here for one night. It was the closest to dispersed camping on a last minute find nearby to my home. They have random benches and a few port a potty. There is no running water or showers or fire pit or grills. Which was what I was looking for. I brought my axe and chainsaw and all my survival kits. We make our own fire with tinder and a Firestarter. I brought my shovel just in case I needed to do "nature call" things. There were some stones there that were set for a fire. I didn't bring a grill so I had to make one out of wood and stone. We made some fried chicken wings and beef kabobs. It was extremely cold, but my 15-degree bag kept me super warm. It was very dark. I'd imagine this is how they lived a long time ago, but at least the sky was so nice you can see the stars CLEARLY!. The next morning I made some eggs and sausages pretty easily. We chopped a lot of wood and kept the fire afloat for most of the night. I had a great time and really enjoyed how beautiful it was. The security guy was helpful and the Indian natives were so nice. Everyone waved and said hello. It's pretty quiet and clean there. I will definitely come camping here next time.

This place is suitable for a family vacation. They have many small cabins equipped with a…read morerefrigerator, kitchen, and stove -- you just need to bring your own food. You can also bring a rice cooker to cook meals. The rooms are small and not soundproof. Each room has one large bed and a bunk bed. The beds are quite firm. No blankets or pillows are provided. It gets pretty cold at night inside the cabins. There's plenty of parking and everything is very clean. The restrooms are outside. There is air conditioning but probably no heating. The room lighting is very dim. The electronic door locks are prone to issues. The hot springs have different temperatures and the water is clean. The indoor hot springs are quite hot. The showers are located inside one of the indoor hot spring rooms. All the faucets have a natural sulfur smell, which comes from the real hot spring water. The owners are an elderly couple and tend to work slowly. Also, be aware that the hot springs close at night, so don't come too late. In my opinion, it's not worth staying overnight -- soaking in the hot springs is the better value. Children aged 8 and up are charged as adults.
