Farmstay in Vintage Remodeled Camper

Enjoy the peaceful countryside in a charming 1964 Little Dipper vintage camper tucked away in a small canyon on a 40-acre working farm. The camper is refurbished with lovely aromatic cedar woodwork, a handmade dining table and comfortable queen bed. Lots of windows and colors make for an airy and bright space. It is powered entirely with solar for LED lighting, colorful accent lights, and outlets. Disconnect and enjoy the campfire, stars, farm animals, and fresh air. Only 10 min from town.

Our farm was founded in 2009 as a small-scale egg farm. Our farm has free-range chickens, goats, cows, dogs, organic produce, and work-stay guests from all over the world. Our work begins at 8 am during the weekdays and between 9-10 am on weekends. The property is mostly quiet, with very little use of tractors or other heavy equipment and sweet working guard dogs that protect the farm. The farm is nestled in the back of a canyon with old-growth oaks and eucalyptus. We strive to provide a peaceful, relaxing, and friendly environment. The nighttime stars and morning bird songs make the farm a magical place to live, work, and host new friends.

Please note the WiFi is limited, and there is very little cell service on the farm. If you absolutely require either, please do not expect it at the farm and look for another place to stay.

The camper, firepit, outdoor bathhouse, and parking area are private, but within close proximity to areas of the working farm like the garden and pasture. The porta potty toilet is a 40-foot walk from the camper. It is an open pit Porta potty, meaning you will see other people’s poop. The outdoor shower is made of recycled materials. Enjoy a walk around the farm to view the garden and animals (please do not touch the animals without assistance.)

We are eager to make your stay with us comfortable and memorable. We are sometimes available on the property, however, the best way to reach us is by text or phone.

Lompoc is known as the City of Arts and Flowers. A drive through the town itself shows an abundance of murals on the buildings, and minutes out of town you can find fields bursting with fresh flowers. There is an abundance of great hiking trails and bike routes here on the Central Coast. A few beaches are very close, as well as a hot spring. The area around us is known for great wine and boasts the Lompoc Wine Ghetto which is a collection of wineries, tasting rooms, and wine cellars from vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills AVA. Enjoy Surf Beach or Jalama Beach nearby, get wowed by a rocket launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, and enjoy day trips to the surrounding quaint towns such as the Danish town of Solvang.

There is room for 2 small vehicles to park. Please only walk around the farm. You’ll need to drive or bike to town which is about 4 miles away.

We are a working farm. Every day at 8:00, work begins on the farm, and although we do not often use heavy equipment and tractors, cars are coming and going as well as dogs barking. Work begins between 9:30 and 10:00 am on the weekends.

The outdoor shower is great for drinking a beer while showering. Please bring your own drinking water. Water for washing dishes and cleaning is not suitable for drinking, and there is only a 9-gallon tank, so conservation is a must. The camper does not have A/C or a refrigerator. There is an ice chest available for use. There is a solar system in place to charge devices and to have lighting, but it won`t support hair dryers, straighteners, power tools, or any other high draws.

WE HAVE WIFI, but it is limited, and cell service is spotty. Enjoy being unplugged for a bit. Your soul and mind will thank you.

THERE ARE DOGS ON THE FARM. They will come say Hi. They will bark when you drive up. They are all cuddly and friendly; they play with our one and four-year-olds.

TO START A FIRE:
You will need a lighter or matches, kindling and firewood. We try to keep all of these items in stock at the farm stand for sale but cannot guarantee their availability.

TOILETS
The porta potty toilet is shared and is cleaned thoroughly on a weekly basis; however it is not emptied after every stay. It is not a flushing toilet.
