Location Film & Video

As “the best of the Southern California West,” the Garner Ranch upholds a long tradition of serving as a unique and accommodating film and photo shoot location. Located only a couple of hours from Los Angeles and San Diego or an hour from Palm Springs, it’s an easy commute for crews, cast members and photographers.

For more information or to book the ranch for an event please contact Ted Johnson at GarnerCattleRanch@gmail.com or by phone at (760) 861-3652.
