Gorgeous property. So secluded. Perfect for a group camping trip. Great hiking trial in the back of the property if you look to the right up the hill when you get to the end of the path. We had dogs up there and they got to roam free - such a blast. Host was very responsive and directions were clear. RV and tent are awesome.
Walid was a super communicative and accommodating host and the camp itself is beautiful! Would highly recommend to anyone considering this property.
Almost perfect. This is an amazing site -- big enough for 100 people! We only had 9 and used a tiny part of the site. There is no running water (we knew that). The drive only took about 2.5 hours from the south bay. There is nice shade and the canyon feels secluded and remote. The only downside is that you can hear the traffic on the highway. Not loud, but breaks the illusion of being in the wild. We camped next to the picnic tables and the RV. Perhaps if we kept driving deeper into the canyon the would be no noise. The porta potty was nice and clean. There were two hammocks setup. …
Phenomenal campground and Walid was so responsive and helpful. Our group had such a wonderful time, we will definitely be coming back!
Loved this site! The magic of it was how private and secluded it felt. The amenities such as tent rentals and table rentals definitely made our lives easier since we didn’t have to haul as many items into the site ourselves. Walid was also very communicative and accommodating.
