Secluded Lake on Pet Loving Ranch

This is the most beautiful campsite. It by far exceeded my expectations and Travis was a great host. The lake is beautiful and my dogs had the time of their life. The bathrooms at the lake feel like you are using someone’s house bathroom. I felt safe and My dogs were exhausted. For the first time in years I was stress free. I now have very high standards for campsites because nothing compares to Travis’ site.

If you are looking for a quick relaxing and secluded getaway, you can’t go wrong with the L-3 Ranch. From the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable, relaxed and very SAFE. Our Host, Travis is everything you want in a host. Travis was informative, organized, thoughtful and quickly available if needed. The Ranch has a diverse landscape with several hiking and walking trails. The large variety of animals and fowl only added to the beautiful landscape. The campsite was nice and flat and provided a great place to sleep with plenty of views. The nearby city of Oakdale is only a 10 minute drive for those always forgotten camping essentials.
The Ranch has a ton to offer any interests but for me the Crown Jewel is the small private lake.
My wife and I spent several hours on the lake fishing and boating. We both caught plenty of Bass and Bluegill and the Ranch’s catch and release policy will ensure plenty more catches in the future. The BBQ area next to the lake has plenty of seating and shade. The propane BBQ provided was clean and large enough to feed the masses. The bathrooms were clean and easily accessible.
I would have to say the only downside to our quick getaway is that my arms are a little sore from all the rowing. I realized a little too late that my wife had tricked me into rowing her around the lake while she fished from the boat. I won’t make that mistake next time.

Thank you Alan! I truly enjoyed meeting you and your wife. I hope you two can be back soon! Maybe a small electric trolling motor next time to save those arms? Thank you again, Travis.

We had such a wonderful time! The views were spectacular! The lake was so fun for our family! The kids loved fishing, kyaking, time around the fire pit, seeing the goats/bunnies/horses/cows, and the overall camping adventure! The bathrooms were clean! We brought our own portable camp toilet and sink which made our stay at the campsite a lot easier than having to walk to the bathrooms with the little ones. Travis is the most amazing host...kind, quick to respond, great with the kids, and honest! We can't wait to go back! Thanks again for an amazing camping experience!

Travis is a very helpful and very nice man. He made everything feel safe. It is an utterly beautiful ranch and I would recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors. Thank you Travis!

Great place to get away. Lake provides plenty of entertainment, from boating to fishing (catch and release), and the firepit was an added bonus for smores after dinner. Travis was an excellent host, making sure we had everthing we needed, and was an outstanding host.

Perfect little weekend getaway! The property was great! Way beyond our expectations. Would definitely recommend.

Travis is a great host and the camp site was more than what was expected. Fully functioning bathrooms (no shower), lake access, fishing, and a private camping area. We greatly enjoyed our stay there and will most definitely be back! Great location for anyone visiting OakDale, Knights Ferry, and Modesto area.

You can’t go wrong ... it’s everything you could want and more.

Beautiful Private site. Would definitely recommend to everyone. Our kids loved boating and swimming in the lake and our Dog was very happy and excited running around everywhere. Thank you Travis for being an awesome host.
