Follow Us @CaliforniaCampingClub ***Some things to please be aware of: - This is off grid camping! No markers or specifically defined campsites are present, we provide exact GPS coordinates. All sites are dispersed camping in the wildflower fields! We intentionally leave the property unaltered to preserve the raw natural beauty. - Our site is about 2 miles from the nearest paved road (HWY 138) It’s all dirt roads to get here off of HWY 138, through the hills. For years we have found 2WD is more than sufficient to get here, as long as you drive slow, and don't stop on hills you should be fine. However, some campers have found that not to be the case for them and wanted 4WD, so come prepared either way. - If you are unfamiliar navigating using GPS coordinates or with off grid camping, our location may be hard to find and may not be a good fit for you. - It can get very windy sometimes so come prepared to snuggle up in the back of your car or camper and enjoy the stunning stars, sunrises, sunsets and views. - It is considerably easier to navigate with a little daylight. - We are happy to provide you with a map as well upon request, which seems to be the most direct route. Feel free to reach out and we will help you with whatever you may need, just ask! Thank you and we hope you enjoy your stay! :)

Beautiful views and lots of trails off road trails. We had a great time here. Be ready for the wind.
This was a beautiful, quiet site. Although it can get windy, it was a blast!
I loved camping at this site! It’s very isolated and private. Amazing views and sunsets. The only thing I’d say is there’s one way we came in where the road was super intense with steel hills - our car almost couldn’t make it (Subaru w four wheel drive). But once we were in we walked around and found an alternative route that was much easier on the car and easy to use. So definitely make sure you have four wheel drive!! Great trip, would come back :)
I am sure it can be as beautiful as described when flowers are blooming. But when we went 3/16/24 there were hardly any flowers and lots of people driving through the property (not exactly a secluded feeling). It was clear they are not camping here, just driving through (probably looking for flowers). The listing left me with the impression that this is private property and only those camping here would be on it.
We camped here one night and it was very pretty, and easy to find. At night the winds were strong, so be prepared, but this is common to the whole area. In the morning the air was calm and beautiful, and we were surrounded by wildflowers. This camping area is very close to the Poppy Preserve, which was convenient.
