Instagram: HirstRanch TikTok: HirstRanch The price of camping includes any of the following Ranch experiences you (and any children) would like to do: joining us for feeding animals and collecting eggs. Our property is great for children! We have a trampoline, a tree house, a large livestock water trough that we use as a kiddie pool in summer, a great swing set, and room to play. We live on a quiet 10 acre property with trees that provide some shade, and all of our sites are near the horse pastures. You might hear horses nickering and our cows calling. There is lots of room to walk or run around. A large sandbox and Treehouse are available for kids to play in, plus we have a 17 foot high swing for kids and adults alike! You can walk the property to observe the horses, or sign up for a special horse, tractor, or welding "experience." Come camp in a very quiet and safe horse and farming area. We are near the end of a dead-end road. Our camping sites are somewhat private, some with more shade and others with more mid-day sun. We specialize in "Horse Experiences" tailored to your level of comfort and needs. None of the horse experiences listed on our site require any prior experience with horses. We will make sure you are safe and comfortable while working with the horses. *NOTE: Experiences are not available on Sundays (our sabbath day). We can fit them in on Saturday afternoon/evening for Saturday-night campers, or Monday morning for Sunday-night campers. We have a private bathroom with flush toilet and sink. Summertime brings hot days and (usually) cool nights to our area. It is not uncommon to experience 100 degree days in June, July and August. Most evenings cool down, thanks to the Delta Breeze, to around 60-70 degrees overnight. Wintertime brings cooler daytime temps (50-60 degrees) and colder night temps (30-40 degrees). We are located about 10 minutes from the Galt area, which has a large variety of Fast-food, as well as several nicer restaurants. There is also a Wal-Mart (with groceries) and a nice Supermarket. We are about 6 miles from 2 country stores in Herald and Wilton (with gas station and Mexican restaurant). Sites accommodate up to 6 people, and you can add up to 2 more for an additional fee. If you need more than 8 people, then consider booking 2 or more sites.

GREAT Farm Life for my City Kid!
Not sure where to start but I will say that my 3.5yo was devastated to have to leave at the end of the trip, lots of tears having to return home to the real world. Justin and Christina were truly the best hosts, they were so welcoming and didn't seem to be bothered when I would talk their ears off. They treated my daughter like one of their own kids, she got to help with chores of milking the cow, feeding the chickens, gathering eggs, feeding the horses, grooming the horses, etc. She loved playing on the swings and in the tree house. We all got to ride the horses and Christina was amazing at training us, well beyond the basic "pony ride" she really teaches connection with the horses and her horses are so amazing they didn't get spooked or annoyed when my young daughter made loud noises or ran around them. My husband got to weld a cool horseshoe design for my daughter's room so we have a nice keepsake of the weekend. The 2 farm dogs and 3 barn cats were super friendly and enjoyed all the love we gave them. The RV parking site is very convenient and Justin was able to help us with both parking our trailer and with pulling it out when we left since we are new to RVing. The farm next to the parking site has goats and geese so that was fun to see also. Since there is no sewer dump it was fantastic that they have a studio apartment where we could shower and use the bathroom. Easily one of our best vacations with our daughter, we can't wait to return. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A Hirst Family Holiday!!
First and foremost, The entire Hirst family was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived they were super helpful in helping us maneuver and back in our massive 5th wheel. Their daughter showed our kids around the entire property with all the animals and fruits and veggies. They were friendly, generous, accommodating. It was really a joy for our family to spend time with theirs. We were so sad to leave and absolutely cannot wait to go back.
