Banner Recreation Ranch, Julian CA

Gold on site. Really enjoyed staying in the converted cover wagon our family had a great time. Thanks again

Didn’t get to stay but it was the perfect pitstop for beer, snacks and BURROS! The humans inside the shop were super kind and totally happy to share more about the history of the area and the ranch. Definitely on my list for my next trip to the area- they have covered wagon cabin thingies that deserve my snoring! The most fancy outhouse I’ve ever been in is available for customers- I almost took pictures but few people would understand. It’s truly the most fancy outhouse.

I really like what they are doing with the place. Todd is cool, the store is open with chili and pulled pork on weekend nights, pool tables, a welcome thing to see a little night life in Banner.

Beautiful, rustic experience! The night sky is absolutely magical. These individually crafted tiny houses have exquisite decor. The extra home-like touch made for an incredible experience all around. Love this place 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Tod, Chase and Mel are wonderful people who really put effort in making everyone feel at home. Can’t wait to come back!

Haunted forest was really fun. Definitely a lot of hard work put into setting up the event. We had a great time. Check out videos on YouTube of our experience.

Stayed in a tiny home at Banner Ranch this weekend and loved it! The staff were so welcoming and accommodating and ensured our every need was met throughout our stay. Genuinely great people! The house was very tidy and provided all necessary amenities. The view of the stars was amazing. Highly recommend for a unique experience!

There is a nice loft as well as an oven and microwave, this beautiful tiny home is dog friendly and has air conditioning. If you're looking for a California way to relax, look no further! I think we've found it! Chill out and relax in Julian's own Banner Ranches Reefer Madness room!

This is a amazing little spot and good for camping had there grand opening
Yes I recommend this place. I be back

Banner Recreation Ranch it's beautiful with a friendly community. The host (young man) & staff at store are awesome. We meet really nice man (friend of host) & lady (resident) we chat for a while made us feel very comfortable made us feel welcome as well the other host/staff there. We want to thank you guys for the awesome service, friendlines & very helpful to any questions and issues. We celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary at one of the wagons. The wagon was awesome clean, very well made & everything was great to enjoy comfy bed the hot water in shower just the experience been there. It's a beautiful campground with nature all around with wild turkeys, donkeys, the star gazing at night its priceless. We enjoyed the surroundings of the grounds. Julian is 15 mins away & on the way we found good winiries.eateries too. We loved it we will be going back soon. Great vibes & Blessings!

Amazing place to stay if you are a through hiker. Great view of the stars and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Would love to come back again. Thank you for having us!

Quiet, natural and friendly nook to relax and unwind with a cozy cup of coffee. Throw some horseshoes, hike a trail and explore through the foothills of Vulcan Mountain. This sleepy little campground has a rich history in early California's gold rush and the west's development. Staff is in short supply but the Manager Brandon is friendly, helpful and eager to assist whenever and however he can. The little store has essential items and food, hours are a bit inconsistent but Brandon will accommodate requests in a pinch.

Stayed here while hiking the PCT! Brandon is awesome and the tiny homes are great! Plenty spacious, clean, and comfortable. I enjoyed the loft bed to sleep in. It felt so good after a day of hard hiking. Also, there are plenty of drinks, beer, chips, food, and goods at the general store if you need to resupply.

Stayed a couple of nights here to get out of some bad weather while hiking the pct. Great place. And Brandon was awesome and incredibly accommodating. Got us anything we needed from blankets to booze.
