Remember, the high desert is not only magnificent, but year-round you can enjoy crisp weather in the Fall and Winter and warm temperatures in the Spring and Summer months. However, there are plenty of weekend and weekdays to enjoy the solitude of the ranch for Dry RV Camping. But when possible, we allow a portion of the campers to rent on the same days of any event. Moreover, the Racing Ranch serves as the main stage for two yearly music “concerts on the hills.” Also known as the “RAW FESTIVAL.” All major events are blocked off on the calendar. It now serves as headquarters for a series of competition events, including mountain bike racing, off-road events, Pony Express rides, drone racing, running marathons and the very popular “desert tours.” All start and end at the ranch. In recent years, we have once again re-named the ranch as the Racing Ranch, to better describe its function. Subsequently we bought additional acres adjacent and contiguous to ours, including a beautiful hillside where we often parked and enjoy the magnificent visual experience that is the Alta Vista Ranch (we re-named it meaning “high vistas” in Spanish). Anywhere you looked the views were extraordinary! We were sold and bought the ten acres. What sold us was that it was the only plot of land for miles, that offered a 360-degree view of fabulous desert escapes and including the wonderful city of California City. We visited his property and after looking at many pieces of land to buy in the high desert, we knew we had found it. After looking all over the desert, our friend, who owned ten acres just 3.2 miles from the City limits, in East Kern County, invited us to look at his property. We just had to find a place for us desert-lovers. This is where the sun shines about 330 days of the year and where the absolutely stunning, clear, starry skies, pop up every night. We loved the area for racing and for camping out. Currently the property is privately owned and is adjacent to large sections of publicly held lands.įor years we've raced the Mojave Desert, and the areas within the California City, City limits. In the era of the California Missions, this land was a part of the Spanish land grants. This land was sparsely populated by the Chumash Indian and is evident by the numerous cave painting that remain here in the Caliente mountain. There are two sites where RVs are welcome. We believe it will give you a better appreciation of life's simpler side. This is our home but we love to share our life in the outback. Our Lodge, Ranch House and Glampsites are available on occasion. Our Songdog Camps are sparsely scattered atop a 200 foot mesa that looks west over a valley offering stunning desert sunsets. You, the coyotes and your own private moon. The preconfigured trailer will sleep two and the site is provided with water and fresh bedding for each booking. This is truly a get away from it all camping. Our Carrizo Camp is surrounded by the Carrizo Plains National Monument. This is where the deer and the antelope play. Cave paintings of Chumash Indians remind us of those who lived before us. Seasonally, Spring wildflowers burst across the landscape. Completely removed from civilization and surrounded by a barren nature that is alive with the subtle presence of the universe. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to camp on the moon, this is it.
