This is a great location for large group camping or corporate "get-away" events. The staff was great and very helpful. There is a ropes course, pool, outdoor stage, archery, outdoor games, and plenty of hiking. Both cabin and tent camping are available.
A great place for your weekend retreat! It is about as close as you can get to suburban Orange county but still feel like you're hundreds of miles away from it all. A big plus or minus, depending on who you are is that there is virtually no cellular service at the camp. That is a great asset when you're taking 100+ high school sophomores on a weekend retreat ... no worries about that person that just won't give up their cell phone for the weekend. The staff is very friendly and helpful and just the nicest people you'll meet. The camp is rustic, yet not too primitive. Yes, some if it is old and a bit too rustic for some, but not to the point that anyone will ever feel that they're lacking the proper facilities. The surrounding nature is fantastic, with a nice creek running down the middle of the camp during the Winter and Spring. The fire circle is great, able to easily seat 100+ for a gathering and they always have plenty of kindling and fuelwood available. Just keep in mind that the camp is located 1.5 miles off Ortega Highway on a narrow single lane primitive road. Most vehicles can handle it, but if you have a large bus you may scrap a bit on the creek crossings. If you plan on going after a storm, be sure to check with the camp manager to make sure the road is OK and consider bringing vehicles with decent ground clearance. You cross the creek several times on the way in and it can be a foot deep at times. We've been taking our high school confirmation students here for over a decade and love it! Its small enough to do your thing, but large enough to have great facilities.
A sacred and beautiful place surrounded by nature.... where faith grows and people are invited, inspired and encouraged to explore and enhance their spirituality!! I grew up spending a week or two each summer at Lazy W Ranch. Now, as an adult I still spend a week or two at Lazy W Ranch. Wonderful staff - ALWAYS!! I always leave Lazy W Ranch with new friends that last a lifetime!!! Nice cabins with bunk beds, outside fire ring, restrooms that were recently remodeled, hiking, a big giant dining hall.... a pool, nature walks, a creek bed, bridges, archery, basketball, volleyball.. even a little playground... My energy is a whirl just thinking of it. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!
We went there for our first time ever, i was confused, that’s very big area there and I parked in a side of the road to see where I have to go to get some info. And someone from the staff came and told me that i can not park my car there or any where around the property park. She was very rude and make us feel like delinquents. She told us “Did you know that there’s alot of cameras in the park?” So you can not just park here or anywhere around, You have to go back and don’t come back”. So sad. It was our first time there and very disappointed. I meant may be they’re not open until summer, or weekends, but she should be nice, there’s alot of goodways to say someone that is not open, or it’s a private property there wasn’t any sign saying private. But anyways! WE’RE NOT COMMING BACK THERE!
Beautiful location and a very welcoming atmosphere. Nice change of pace from the OC.
I went there for Summer camp last year! It was amazing. Even several classes each day. I loved it!
Nice place and good experience!!! I recommended!!!
