15 acres of land right nestled up against South Mountain, on an ecologically-minded property where we are building a sustainability education center. From your campsite, you'll have a sweeping view of the Topa Topa mountain range, as well as a birds eye view of our community farm. Site has access to a geodesic dome, a funky spot to hang out, meditate, do yoga, or picnic. There is one electric outlet to plug into, as well as a hookup for water. Behind the site is South Mountain, where you can scramble, look for fossils from the Sespe range (20 million years old) and enjoy some peace and quiet.Pitch your tent or park your campervan (a large RV would be challenging) on a beautiful plateau beneath the face of South Mountain. You'll have the hill to yourself, and can enjoy sweeping views and seclusion. For those bringing small animals, know that there are coyotes and the occasional bobcat, so keep pets within sight - esp at dawn and dusk! The site is just 10 minutes from downtown Santa Paula, with an historic main street, restaurants, and old town charm, close to several hiking areas, and a 40 minute drive to Ojai. With prior arrangement with hosts, we can offer a dinosaur tour for kids and interested folks of our collections, 8 partial triceratops and a fabrication lab where we are 3D printing missing bones, and offer a small piece of dinosaur bone as a keepsake. We are working to build a science center in Ventura County, our garage/warehouse is full of artifacts, including what must be the largest collection of late-cretaceous dinosaurs in the County! For film buffs, this property was the former ranch of actor/hearthrob Steve McQueen.
