MOMMAPEGGS SEIRRA/YOSEMITE GETAWAY

The hubs and I wanted to get our LO's into camping, but in a way that wasn't too "roughing it" especially in the middle of November. The kids are 3 & 6 and love the animals and the outdoors. Finding a place that was safe, with a "real" toilet, lots of space to roam and plenty to look at/hold their interest was a big search. Momma Pegg's 100% checked the boxes. Pegg herself is THE best host, she was very thorough explaining the site, baked THE best breakfast goods for us, and was always available when we had a question. She was very knowledgeable on places to go with our small Adventurers, and Momma Pegg Pantry is right on site serving the most deliciously large sandwiches. Definitely add that on to your stay.
The animals include mini ponies, peacocks, chickens, and the very best, fluffy guard dog. Because of the animals, you do hear the roosters cockadoodledooing in the early morning, but we wanted to get up and start our day anyways. The prettiest guard dog does bark to keep the coyotes away, but it sounds like an owl hooting so it was easy to sleep through. The fire pit is a nice propane one with the rocks in the middle, and table top ledge surrounding it. There are several great sites to choose from, with some solar twinkle lights for flair. The bathroom is a Porta Potty but it's very well kept with seat covers and a nice bright solar powered light inside. There is an actual sink with cold and hot, as well as an outdoor shower with wonderful hot and cold. This really is a gem of a place, and we are already planning a spring visit again ❤️

This place has two mules/donkeys/ponies! After many google searches, we were not able to determine what they actually were, but they sure were adorable. What a beautiful place, me and my girlfriend loved it. We woke up to muffins that Momma Peggy made us for the morning! Highly recommend.

We had an incredible stay at MOMMAPEGGS. Peggy was the most gracious of hosts. Grounds were clean and safe. We loved visiting the animals (my 8 year old was in heaven). Short and easy drive to Pinecrest and Columbia. We will definitely be back in the spring.

I have stayed at several HIPCAMP locations but this one is hands down the best. The location is fantastic, close to YOSEMITE and Peggy provides shower, toilet, gas grill etc. She even offered me to use her tent iso setting up my own. She also has a little Cafe with fantastic sandwiches, coffee, tea etc. HIGHLY recommended campground with an extraordinary host. I will be back.

It was perfect, and was secluded from the usual amount of people at campgrounds. I’m an animal lover, so getting to play fetch with her dogs and pet the mule and horse was the icing on the cake. The flexibility on spots to put our tent down was great too. I’d absolutely recommend.

It felt like a nice chance to camp well and also briefly experience the best parts of rural life...a peaceful quiet night unlike with some public campgrounds, greeted by a playful dog, woke up to a rooster. Also Peggy was very helpful to let us borrow some things for cooking and answered all our questions quickly.

What we loved: Warm friendly host, nice outdoor shower, great stop in between destinations, was private and not busy like you may encounter at state/national parks, provided gas stove and outdoor sink, porta-potty was clean-had solar light in it at night. Great scenery/view-stars clear at night, closed entry gates at night made us feel safe.
Things to be aware of: Not the most even ground for tent camping-be aware if you’re not sleeping on air mattress. Close to the road, could hear light noise at night when vehicles passing by at 55mph. We encountered a lot of bees when we had our food out. Not sure if bees are present all the time, but if you’re allergic…be aware. And the rooster. This is a wonderful farm, but the rooster crows…like roosters do…all the time.

Peggy was friendly, made awesome blueberry muffins for breakfast treat, and had a great outdoor shower.

We were delighted to stay at Mommapegs!!! It's a short drive to Rainbow Pools and Natural Bridges trailhead, with which we bookended our stay. We loved seeing all the sweet and gentle farm animals and were impressed to learn how they are all rescues. Mommapegs has possibly the best shower I have ever taken: a bit like showering in an airy greenhouse, only better. The apple pie filled muffins the next morning were so delicious that I might have to return just for those muffins! We had a nice flat space to camp and a clean picnic table upon which to cook our camp food. I will add that, while the bathroom is a portable, it was definitely the cleanest one I've ever used. Can't wait to stop over again at Mommapegs.
