J's Rancho Relaxo

The host was very nice, and I was glad to have a flush toilet, but the camping spots were pretty rough. There was horse poop all over the camping area, and it took some pretty delicate maneuvering to avoid putting our tents in poop, and even more concentration not to step in it. There was nowhere we couldn't smell the poop. There was a lot of trash in the yard which made it pretty un-scenic. Additionally, there was really nowhere to sit down or make food. An area to prepare and eat food - a picnic table or even just setting up a poop-free area near the largest stump as the table, with some crates for seats - would go a long way to making it easier to be there. At $59 for a night, including the service fee, this was pretty overpriced, about three times as much as two nights camping in Big Sur. Additionally, all the no trespassing signs were intimidating and confusing for a place that is intended to be a shared accommodation.

Joanie and her dog Bridgette are charming and accommodating hosts. Her camp space is rustic as-described and met all my needs just fine. The private out-house-with-flush-toilet was a bonus.

Extremely helpful host who wanted to make my stay as nice as possible. I was cycle touring and was looking for a good safe place to set up my tent and this place worked out very well. Extra bonus we’re seeing the horses!

Joanie was very nice and friendly.

Great spot for a quick overnight stay!
