VIX Ranch
Discover a hidden valley gem 😍
Candice greeted us at the entry to the ranch and showed us to a secluded spot surrounded by amazing mountain views. The ranch is filled with happy, friendly animals and amazing people!🙂
We bought some of their grass-fed beef they raise, and let’s put it this way - I used to be vegan! And if you thought you have seen a more star-filled sky, this place will impress you. The surrounding mountains in the private valley shield all light pollution if any, and present spectacular skies.
She even brought us fresh herbs and vegetables from their garden our first night there. Made our meal we had planned even more delicious!
We have to come back because we didn’t even get to explore all the ranch had to offer like hiking, horseback riding, and rock climbing! Even help with farm chores!
We will definitely be back for the experience and the people that work the ranch! Y’all are truly amazing!

VIX Ranch
Welcoming hosts; private quiet stay
This is a real working ranch. Camping sites are numerous, dispersed and highly varied. Campers can pretty much choose the type of camping they like to do—private and remote or interactive with the ranch family.

Labor Day at Vix Ranch
We loved staying at Vix Ranch! My boyfriend and I weren't necessarily new to camping but we procrastinated making Labor Day plans and were thrilled to be able to camp here for the weekend on short notice.
I drive a Prius and was able to easily able to make it to our GORGEOUS campsite. (I give this detail for others like me who aren't sure if their vehicle clearance will be ok.)
The activities nearby are great - we spent our time hiking, grilling at our campsite, reading and lounging at our campsite, enjoying the view. Chris pointed us to the hike just up the road, which was a really nice hike next to the creek. The night sky was insane and I saw stars and constellations that I haven't seen in years.
Candice and Chris were extremely helpful hosts and we were happy to have a campfire stove backup from Chris after having some campfire stove woes. We loved getting the ranch tour and learning about the bunnies, chickens and more.
We can't wait to return and would strongly recommend this campsite to others.

VIX Ranch
The most WONDERFUL place to camp!
Candice and Chris were amazing hosts! Not only were they kind, welcoming, and friendly, but they really go above and beyond for their guests! The site where we camped was private and right next to the creek that flows through the property. It was absolutely gorgeous and the sound of running water put me to sleep and greeted me in the morning. Definitely do the ranch tour because it was so cool to learn about their organic practices in regards to gardening and ranching! The property is huge too, you could literally go hiking on it and never even leave. Plus if you want to, there are plenty of places to go that are just short drives from the ranch, which is always going to be scenic since you're driving through the mountains. Also they helped me patch up my tire when it was losing air and it got me home, through a whole 11 hour drive! Candice and Chris are just the kindest most well spirited people and I will definitely be coming back to camp!

We had a GREAT spot that Chris drove us personally to even though we arrived at night. They were very gracious hosts, and own an incredible; working ranch in a BEAUTIFUL valley chocked full of awesome views. We would definitely camp there again if in the area.
