We had a fabulous stay here at Fern Valley Ranch . We were greeted by the lovely Steve who was extremely friendly and welcoming. He showed us to our lovely peaceful site. We only stayed 1 night unfortunately but the facilities were perfect and it seemed like a lovely place for a walk around and to just relax in nature. Would defiantly go back ☺️

Orchard & Pine Trees Camping
Our new favourite campsite
This is our favourite camping site so far. It is clean, well-maintained, and the kids love exploring the orange orchard and the large grassy area to play. I love that this site is capped at only 12 spots, so no matter how busy the season gets, it’s never overcrowded. The staff are always friendly and helpful. We've been there a couple of times and will definitely go back on our next camping trip.

Beautiful area we stayed with animals around, small playground and a waterfall adventure with the family of kids. Steve was very accommodating and friendly. He made the effort to ensure we were comfortable and was very welcoming. Definitely would like to come back again.
