Songdog Ranch

Not a bad campground, which we found through hipcamp. But we were put off by the loud politicizing of the space. Never met the owner, and people say he’s nice. But we came here to get away from everything, and found that political advertising was displayed within view of our site. Won’t be back. Jen, since I can’t respond to your response, I’ll edit my review. I stayed with one other person whose name our stay was under. I didn’t include their name because they didn’t want to have to deal with any potential blowback, and they gave a good review on hipcamp because they felt conflicted about it. What I can say is that when we drove in, we were surprised by how prevalent the political signage was. That’s your prerogative. But it very much changed our experience at the site. Given how much politicians have divided the country I am trying to tune out politics, and I intend to stay at places that do the same. I’m not saying the owner might not be a nice person. I am saying he is showing bad judgment polarizing his public business. May our country survive the politicization we’ve been seeing, it’s horrifying. Imagine if every hotel you went to had a flag for one side or the other. If he hears me and decides to take it down I’d be happy to change my review.

Love this campground! Beautiful rolling hills, views of the valley (which the mountains have cool looking formations), night time is amazing with dark skies lit up with all the stars, the sites at this campground are far apart so that you feel like you’re out there by yourself, not too hot or cold during Spring, speaking of Spring, all the wild flowers were blooming.

Third time here ⛺️ One of the best campsites two hours from Los Angeles. More than ten locations for any company from very small campsites to large ones with houses. There are also many medium options with and without berths. Each location is uniquely decorated in its own way, but all have at least a plumbing, a grill, a table with benches under the roof, trash containers and a toilet. All locations are at a distance, so you will never intersect with neighbors. I prefer campsites on the hill, but campsites at the bottom have their advantages too. great place for sunrises and sunsets. At night you will have a clear starry sky.

This was THE coolest campsite I have ever been to! It is on top of a mountain and only has a single lane dirt road to the top so just keep that in mind when driving here. Amazing off-roading about 2 miles farther into the mountains. Jim was so sweet and very accommodating. He has soaker tubs that you can rent ($ based on size) to help with the heat ($20 for the single person). There were ZERO mosquitos/spiders/etc. I think I only saw one or two flies my entire stay. Almost every campsite has its own outhouse (non flushable) but clean, private and with toilet paper. Fire pits, table and potable water at each site. I was solo camping and felt very safe! Adorable ranch dogs too! I will ABSOLUTELY be back again!

Went to the second annual skykamper event and wasn't impressed with the event or the campground. But for those looking for a clean campground, and needing cell service this is the place for you. But for those like me, that prefer camping off the grid and away from everyone, you might want to pass this one up.

We found songdog ranch by accident after our first reservation at another place fell through last minute... and thankfully we did! We came with 2 families and 2 rv's. Jen was fantastic with helping us pick a campground that could accommodate us all together. The area had some side with a few trees. It's a beautiful ranch with fantastic owners! So welcoming and accommodating! Our idols adored their dogs that came to visit us a few times. Anything we needed was handled quickly. We can't wait to return.
