Ghost Mountain Ranch Family Campground and Resort is home to 200 sites for RV and tent camping. Cabins and a full-size ranch house are also available. Tent sites are offered closer to the facilities and out further from Ghost Mountain Ranch for seclusion. Group camping is another option. All sites are situated near bike trails and hiking trailheads. Ghost Mountain Ranch requires a membership but will extend one- or two-night stays to public campers depending on the season. A pool, clubhouse/theater, fishing hole and game room are just some of the amenities here. Since Ghost Mountain Ranch was once used as a Hollywood TV set, an old ghost town completes the picture.
