Gather Together Here at Blue Sky!


We'd love to be your host for your next special event! Our 267-acre property is well-suited for working retreats, glamping weddings, and birthday celebrations. View our maps and guides below, then complete our form via the button above or email stay@blueskycenter.org to start the process. We'll prepare quotes specific to your event, with all of our spaces "a la carte" to fit your needs. And we'll connect you to local vendors for food and beverage and equipment rentals.

Your visit supports rural economic development in Cuyama. Our hospitality initiative—Explore Cuyama—invites people to come experience the best our enchanted high desert has to offer. Our campground—with Shelton Huts, the Khalili Cantina, and improved dispersed camping areas—provides an offbeat but comfortable camping, retreat, or event experience.

Lodging & Event Space Options


Lodging Options

At Blue Sky, we have a total of 22 beds (8 Full-size, 14 Twin-size) for a maximum of 30 adults, as well as plenty of space for bring-you-own-tent or car/van/RV camping. (We do not have any RV hookups, however.) We have space available for you to set up larger tents from places like Outdoors Geek, which can provide tents, cots, blankets, etc. delivered to the site and set up ahead of your arrival. Should you need more accommodations, we recommend reaching out to the Cuyama Buckhorn, which has another 21 motel-style recently renovated rooms and additional event spaces.
