We named our property the Twisted Branch after one of the big oak trees that sits on the site where you will camp with us! It's on a hilltop with amazing views in nearly all directions. The campsite faces South/West so sunsets are fantastic. We use no chemicals on the soil or annual grasses. It is very quiet and the night sky is always stunning. Owls hoot at night and Redtail Hawks hunt for ground squirrels during the day. We have alot of Acorn woodpeckers living in the oak trees, the ones with the bright red head feathers. April through June we see bright yellow Orioles. At night you will hear hundreds of little frogs in the nearby ponds, depending on the season. We are located in the heart of Wine Country and there are plenty of activities around us and in town.Peace and quiet, views all around, clear, starry nights, in the country but minutes from town. This is what you experience at the Twisted Branch in Paso Robles, CA. The site is on top of a hill and overlooks vineyards and ranches. It is flat and amenities are minimal. It's the perfect place to unwind, decompress and enjoy nature. The 180+ degree views are incredible. You will see birds, deer, fox, rabbits, and other wildlife. The dirt driveway is a bit steep for larger RV's, therefore our limit is 20' and 4 wheel drive is recommended. There are several large beautiful oak trees with heavy low canopies on the way to the site. In the summer and fall, there is risk of damage to higher-than-standard trailers. We are near Sculpterra Winery and Cass Wineries. The town of Paso Robles is 4 miles away and has anything you may need. Our dirt driveway is somewhat steep. Some campers without 4-wheel drive and pulling a trailer have not been able to get to the top of the drive. This has seldom occurred but we want you to know this. Most trailers and 2-wheel drive vehicles do just fine but if your trailer is extra heavy, it could cause you a problem. Feel free to contact us prior to booking; we're happy to help out. During the summer months, there are cattle here grazing. We move the cows prior to your visit. We ask that you book by 3 pm so we can get them moved and are ready for your arrival. If you cannot make the 3pm deadline-to-book request, contact us and we will do what we can. We look forward to sharing our little piece of paradise with you!

What a view!

15 ft travel trailer · With pets

The view is amazing from the spot. It was quiet and our dog loved being off leash. Lots of birds and we saw some deer a the way to the property. You could hear sheep every morning from the neighboring farm. The Porto potty was very clean. Was very windy one night but we just stayed inside.

Hilltop Camp for Stargazing

Tent

I recently had the pleasure of camping at Twisted Branch, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. Perched on a hilltop, this spot offers breathtaking panoramic views that stretch for miles. Whether you’re catching the sunrise or the sunset, the scenery is truly beyond belief. One of the highlights for me was the stargazing. The clear, open sky allows for an incredible view of the stars, making it the perfect spot for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy the night sky. Wildlife is abundant here as well—during my stay, I spotted deer, hawks, and a variety of other birds nearby. The peaceful surroundings really give you a sense of escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The directions to Twisted Branch were straightforward, so getting there was no hassle. Jac was wonderful—welcoming us at check-in, offering helpful advice, and checking in at the end of our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Twisted Branch for anyone looking for a serene spot to camp in.

Stunning views on short notice

26 ft travel trailer · With kids

It was a bit of a steep climb to Jac’s site but well maintained and well worth it. Views are stunning and my kids loved watching a few little gophers pop in and out of their hidey holes. Also appreciated the instant booking option and prompt response times. Would recommend and stay again!

Beautiful view, gorgeous sunset. Fell asleep to the sound of frogs. Jac is very friendly. Took us on a tour of his composting operation. We will stay here again!
