About Prospector Ranch
Prospector Ranch is an 1800s style ranch located right next door to the acre used for Hipcamping. The ranch is made up of their home and is also a venue for filming, photo shoots and small events. When not being used, camping guest are welcome to enjoy the area down around the authentic saloon, use the picnic area under large Oak trees and hike the property. We purchased the ranch 8 years ago and love being outside of the city in the mountains. Stargazing is a must when staying there! The campsite is NEXT DOOR to Prospector Ranch, which is our 1800s-style ranch tucked away in the Santa Monica mountains, close to beaches, vineyards, amazing hiking, biking to the beach and the city! The wide open empty lot looks out at the beautiful mountains. Enjoy stunning sun sets and Picnic under the grand Oak Trees at the ranch or maybe come by the saloon next door for a cold beverage if we are around. :-). We are happy to point you in the direction for what ever you want to do. There are so many things to do in Thousand Oaks!

Meggan is a fun and gracious host with an absolutely fabulous property - her decorating is flawless, with no detail overlooked! We loved the saloon bar and our unique Conestoga wagon accommodations. We hope to return and will definitely be telling our friends!
We had a great time here! The tent and bathroom were so nice and kept the whole outing very low maintenance for us. Meggan was super helpful and communicative. Would definitely go again.
We stayed on the property in Our 22 foot camper van. The site we picked was under the large oak tree next to the communal gathering area. A special treat was staying next to the Pony pasture The Saloon was so authentic. We plan to visit again
It was so cold we couldn't sleep at all. The heater helped very little.
We had a great time in the “land yacht“. It was a fun throwback to the past. Very comfortable, clean and cozy. The secluded area was very relaxing and Meggan was an exquisite host.
