Best Glamping near Tehachapi, CA

Tehachapi Mountain Park houses several glamping options nestled among tall evergreens at 6,000 feet elevation, offering a refreshing escape from the desert heat. The park features luxury canvas tents with comfortable bedding, private decks, and electricity, allowing guests to enjoy the mountain setting without sacrificing comfort. One visitor noted, "Beautiful spot with gorgeous tall evergreens and some larger oaks that might be old growth—it was 100 degrees in Mojave and only 70 in the park." Art Farm Nature Space provides another upscale glamping experience with cottages and yurts situated on a scenic property with mountain views. Their accommodations include premium bedding, climate control, and access to shared bathroom facilities with hot showers. The glamping sites are strategically positioned to maximize privacy while maintaining easy access to communal areas and hiking trails.

Stargazing opportunities abound at these Tehachapi glamping resorts, particularly at Art Farm's mountain infinity deck adjacent to their western-style saloon. According to a camper, "The best place to sleep is on the top of the mountain infinity deck right next to the private bar area, which is like an amazing western Saloon with billiards, great vibe, and a hookah corner for some amazing star gazing." Guests can explore nearby Brite Lake Aquatic Recreation Area for fishing and water activities or venture into the Tehachapi Mountains for hiking. The glamping season runs year-round, though spring and fall offer the most moderate temperatures. Both locations require reservations, with Art Farm accommodating groups of various sizes across their 10 glamping sites. Winter visitors should prepare for cooler mountain temperatures, though heated accommodations remain comfortable throughout the seasons.

    Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon

    A "resort"? No. A campground? Yes.

    Very large park for RV, cabin and tent camping. As it's listed as a "resort", we figured it would be pretty upscale. Disappointment upon our arrival. Floods have been in the area and much of the sites were closed and being cleaned?? The road closest to our site was washed away (from earlier reviews it's been months), so a long jog or drive around the perimeter to get us to the pool, laundry and hot tub…speaking of which, the pool, hot tub and laundry facilities all needed attention. You could actually see people's footprints (bottom of pool and on pool and hot tub entry steps)…that much sand, dirt, etc…I didn't venture in. When we arrived, we started driving around to find the best site for our rig. We're a 32ft class A w/20ft enclosed cargo trailer tow. So, all in all about 55ft. Well, that wasn't easy. Most of the park's electric and some sewer connections didn't exist or were "down" for repair. We have yet to actually SEE someone working on these issues. We are currently here and checked in for a two-week stay. After some boon docking prior to our arrival, we wanted all the bells and whistles the park boasted they had. Took us just over THREE HOURS to find a decent spot. Many levels to this park and most didn't have a decent WiFi (we have our own router) signal. Some sites had dumpsters blocking them from being a true "pull-thru". That left us with about two areas to choose from. It's dusty, dirty, and, really, not ready to be called a "resort"….more rustic than we'd been looking for or what website photos showed. We would not recommend this "resort" to anyone. Several folks with dogs they let simply sit outside and bark, poo, etc….strict rules against that, in most all resorts we've ever visited. Unless you plan on tenting, cabin or what have you, it's not worth it. Very disappointing! :(

    Hungry Valley State Vehicle Recreation Area

    Not just for off road

    We usually come here to ride our off road bikes, but this time decided to stay for the weekend without our bikes. There area is large and ample where you don’t have to be next to each other unless that is what you want. There are some areas that are fenced with picnic tables and pergolas with outhouses and trees, and other areas that are not. You have the option of choosing what you would like. We found a nice spot a good distance away from the camping circles and the bathrooms for dry camping, which allowed us to have some more privacy but still enjoy the views of the riders. Night time was also great, clear skies, bright moon and stars, and neon glow of the lights of the off road vehicles. Plus we brought out glow sticks which also added to the fun. Nice morning wake up call from coyotes. Breakfast outside our rv in the morning with bacon and eggs.

    I will include pictures of other times we have been here and stayed in other spots so that you may get an idea of other areas within this large place.

    Castaic Lake State Recreation Area

    Castaic Lake Campground

    This is a nice campground. Very close to the city but still with visiting. I’m a van camper so I rented an RV site because I wanted shade trees. The tent camping sites in the first section have very little shade. Maybe one or two sites have shade. You definitely have to bring a canopy. I camped there in Nov2020 it was a nice getaway. The view of the lake is beautiful. I enjoyed seeing all the ducks on the lake. Each campsite has a table and fire ring. The bathrooms have flush toilets and the campground is kept clean and trash cans are emptied daily. It has a fish cleaning area with running water too. Must put away all your food because the raccoons will get into it. Overall it’s a nice local place to camp if you live in Santa Clarita, Ca.

    Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon

    Large Run Down Campground with Lots of Potential

    First impressions weren’t great at this one but it grew on us quite a bit.

    The campground is in a beautiful valley outside of LA - Acton is know as a “horse town” to many in LA and the moniker is well earned which adds to the nice mix of relative (one to two hours drive) proximity to the city with rural surroundings.

    The campground itself is in rough shape but is seemingly in the midst of a rejuvenation. Many of the electric posts don’t work, litter wasn’t uncommon on the ground, sewer pipes had no cap on them (just a rock covering the open hole..), and much of the inter site landscaping has seen crisper days. That said, they seem to be doing a ton of work to turn it all around and the location, property, and the newer amenities hold promise for this to be an incredible, five star sort of resort. There’s just some clean up, renovation, and landscaping to be done first.

    As others have noted, we will also mention, the $25 PER package fee for any deliveries is absurd and especially inconvenient in a town where the bigger stores are 30+ minutes away. Cash only recharge of a laundry card you have to purchase is also a bit much.

    Looking forward to returning soon and to what this place could become. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay!

    Tehachapi Mountain Park

    High altitude, hidden in the trees

    Beautiful spot. Old school mountainside camping in the tall trees. Campsites are around 6,000’, pit toilets, grills, steel fire pits, picnic tables and potable water taps. We spent a night in late May and there were only a few other sites occupied on a Wednesday night. This is a hidden gem. It was 100 in Mojave and 70 in the TMP. Gorgeous tall evergreens and some larger oaks, a few might be old growth? ***Note: this is not a place for large RVs or trailers. The road in is tight and twisty with no shoulders and some trees and rock faces snug up against it. The campground is very steep, the roads are one lane and very very curvy. Some sites are very near each other, others are more dispersed. There are large groups sites.

    Lake Isabella-Kern River KOA

    Good camp to park & explore

    Overall nice site with full hookups & wi-fi/cell. Had a nice shade tree but it can be real sunny without one. Laundry right on site! Close to lake Isabella and all of the Kern. Great for last minute reservations too, online booking works

    Lake Isabella-Kern River KOA

    Very family friendly and unique!

    Kern River is a great place in the hot California Desert. This place has everything to make you feel at home. Several large sites for tents or RV's , bathrooms with full showers, a pool, splashpad and water play area. They have these weird Banana bikes which were fun. I was in complete heaven when I saw the coffee bar! There is a big pavilion with cooking areas for everyone!

    This is close to several nearby attractions. They offer great wifi services. Great places if you have little ones. so much to do and all of the staff was wonderful.

    They have Cabins too! I didnt stay in them but they are pretty cute.
