Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Our 6+ acre ranch Misthaven sits in the redwood forest at Gilroy, just 20min from Gilroy downtown and 45min from San Jose. This ranch has huge space, lots of ranch amenities and many ranch related activities. If you are planning a short trip that you do not have to drive several hours to the busy lake Tahoe, Misthaven would be an ideal destination for family retreat, team building, or even a birthday party. The ranch includes a 2,000 sq ft large barn with spacious indoor space, a 400 sq ft woodworking and crafts workshop, a 1,000 sq ft ranch center with microwave, oven and refrigerator, an amazing zipline, a shooting range for archery and BB gun under our staff guidance and supervision, a fenced petting zoo with goats, chicken, bunny and guinea pig, hammocks in the redwood forest and plenty of beautiful redwood trees. With the ranch booking, you will have the access to: - BBQ and fire pit usage (charcoal/propane with extra charge of $20) - Fire-Roasted Golden Marshmallow Challenge (bring your own marshmallow or purchase with us, we provide skewers) - Trampoline - Hammock - Tree climbing - Petting zoo ($5/cup snack food for pets and animals) - Edible garden - 2,000 sq ft large barn indoor space - 400 sq ft woodworking and crafts indoor space (woodworking activities need to be booked separately) - Water gun - 18ft inflatable Water slide - Outdoor movie projector/screen - Tables and folding chairs There are plenty of ranch activities that you can book with us WITH A FEE separately during your stay.

I would definitely come back again! Joe and Pearl were so friendly and kind to us. We had a great time and felt so safe. We even go to pet a very sweet bunny. Overall, would come again if we’re in the area!

Serene Retreat in a RV in Redwood
What a missed opportunity.
There was such potential for this one! It's a beautiful drive down a redwood-lined lane and is in convenient proximity to Gilroy Gardens and Monterey. Nonetheless, it's apparent that the owner does not live on site and that maintenance and customer service are not a priority. Some of the big misses: 1. After multiple conversations with the owner regarding renting both one of the cabin units as well as the trailer, he never once mentioned that the plumbing to the trailer was not connected and therefore not useable. No sink, no toilet, no shower. He only mentioned this to us AFTER we had paid. That's pretty shady. 2. When we arrived - there was a beeping alarm coming from the trailer, the source of which took his on-site manager (who was LOVELY) over an hour to locate. This meant that we could not use the trailer while the problem was being assessed -which meant by the time he had "solved" it, it was pitch black outside. 3. The "solve" left the entire trailer without electricity. Again - it's clear this was a problem the owner knew about because AFTER booking and paying, he mentioned the electricity isn't great and to limit multiple appliances or fixtures being used at the same time. WE COULD NOT USE ANY because there was no power at all. 4. Ultimately, the kind on-site manager had to jerry-rig an extension cord out to the trailer to plug a space heater in, which ultimately ALSO blew - so we slept in a freezing trailer with no power and no plumbing. Unacceptable.

Fun weekend with kids
We had a great time at the Ranch. My 2 kids loved the open space, trampoline, swing etc. There favorite part was animal petting. Joe is a very nice owner and very responsive. Would definitely would recommend and come again.

Redwood campsite
Private but Dissatisfied
This is spot is absolutely stunning and could be amazing. It’s peaceful, private, and remote. The location is also close to Gilroy Gardens and 40 mins from the beach. I hope the host improves. However, what was thought we purchased and what we got were vastly different. We arrived and didn’t have a clear idea of which spot was ours. The site contained multiple bags of trash from the previous person. The table provided was covered in food etc. The Port A Potty hadn’t been serviced in over a month. The listing said we’d be greeted when we arrived which didn’t happen. At one point the host even drove the opposite direction instead of coming over to say hello. Overall we still had a nice trip but won’t be back.

It wasn’t quite as advertised (wish the petting zoo was as described and wish there were more picnic tables/chairs) but the trampoline was a hit with the toddlers and there was no one around but our party, so it was a great starting spot for new campers
