Description: Book your next camping trip in the high desert. We're opening up the wide vistas, starry skies, expansive lands, and quiet ambiance to you. We believe rural places and communities have so much to offer. Just two hours from Los Angeles, we are nestled between the Sierra Madre and Caliente mountain ranges in the high desert of California's Central Coast. We'd like to share our place with you and leave you wanting to return to our desert town. We hope your visit brings you back to perhaps contribute or lay roots in our rural community.

Description: Each of our 21 guest rooms has been designed to bring clean, comfortable elegance to the high desert with modern amenities like free WiFi and Bluetooth radios, complete with custom-built furniture. Vintage accents, with a nod to our mid-century history, add a classic and comfortable feel to these modern, updated rooms. All rooms have locally-sourced mini bar trays, stocked with Cuyama Valley and surrounding cities’ snacks and drinks for purchase, and semi-private patios to enjoy the desert sun while looking out over the glowing golden mountains of the valley during the day and stargaze under our bright starry sky in the evenings. All bathrooms are upgraded with new fixtures, featuring plush Buckhorn branded bathrobes, Brooklinen towels, and sustainably-produced Further bath products.

Description: Enjoy four beautiful dry campsites in the high desert of the Cuyama Valley. Located in Ventucopa, each private, semi-secluded campsite is adjacent to the Los Padres National Forest so there are plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploring. Along with beautiful 360º views, you are certain to see beautiful sunsets daily. Every campsite has its own picnic table, fire pit with grill, a large trash can, and a kitchenette table, a rustic outdoor loo, and gorgeous 360º view. There are many hiking trails near by, a vast riverbed to explore, and a quail guzzler to check out! The absolute best part is the night sky views of the Milky Way. We hope to host you!
