We absolutely loved our stay with René! What a beautiful, peaceful place. We only spent on night on our roadtrip but loved the grounds. The Wag Bag is a snap to use. René is so lovely and welcoming - we would happily recommend her place to others and would love to come back!
Rene was warm and inviting when we got to her ranch. Everything was thoughtfully set up for us too. Will definitely try to stay here again!
Campsite was very well setup and private. There was a bathroom, water, soap, and lots of seats around the campsite. Campsite also had plenty of trees which was nice to let us get out of the heat and rain. René and Tom (hosts) were also extremely friendly and helpful.
We loved the camping spot on Rene's land. She had water, soap, and hand sanitizer stations setup and came down to great us when we arrived to talk through a few details. The location is great - only a few miles off a main highway - and it was a quiet, private campsite for us for our two-night stay. Highly recommended!
Easy directions, pretty area, restful. Clean outhouse.
Excellent adventure. Sweet, simple, serene. Secluded from the world, but close to activities. Facilities and amenities a plus. Host is a delight. Save our place. We'll be back.
Thanks Kevin! Would love to see you again!
Such a nice, quiet place! I was camping here with other coworkers for a work training and this was a great relaxing spot in the evenings for us. Lots of cute little details that were well thought out.
It was magical. Very peaceful and Rene made me feel so welcome.
