Feel Like a Fancy Pioneer in these Glamping Wagons

Glamping is currently all the rage in California. It’s a great way to be outdoors, but also comfortable. One of the trendiest spots is these glamping wagons outside of Ojai, CA. Ojai is a little mountain town in the middle of nowhere. It’s where the mountains meet the desert creating epic panorama views of the mountains while camping in the desert. The glmaping spot is a small artistic with 5 wagons. They have outdoor hot tubs and an artistic public living room with bathrooms. There is a huge fire pit with lots of free wood for fires at night. The staff are super friendly and this is one of my favorite glamping experiences to this day yet!

The Blue Sky Center is 1.5 hours NE from Solvang, on the opposite side of the Padres mountains. It’s a beautiful drive through the trees and mountains with fresh air and amazing views. You can hit the spot after a trip to Solvang or have day trip to Solvang while staying in the wagons. You can learn more about the Blue Sky Center here on their site.

Firewood to run the outdoor hot tubs and the propane tank cost, but the central campfire and wood supply are free to guests. You can book your stay at hipcamp or airbnb.

Spaces Photo Diary

The glamping wagons are called shelton huts. There warehouse is where the living room hangout community is as well as the restrooms. The warehouse has shops, studios, meeting rooms as well as a screen printing shop and a wood shop. There is also the cantina which is a beautifully built desert adobe dome architecural beauty. This space is for hanging out and has a pop up vendor as well. This place is a huge property with so much land and room to breathe and adventure and take in the mountains and desert from very close by.
