Beautiful spot to camp in an amazing community. Our hosts and neighbors were all friendly, caring, and welcoming. The campsites were nice and tidy, the bathroom, shower, and laundry facilities were all in great shape. Patagonia is small, but the campsite is an easy walk to the main street. We only moved our vehicle once to start a bike route.
Highly recommend!!

Fabulous, convenient spot! Walkable to town and the the Paton Center for hummingbirds. I biked about 12 miles down Blue Haven road. It was awesome.
The property is quiet, and very neat and clean, Joni, the camp host, is very friendly and happy to assist. I’m going back!

It’s a treasure of a spot. Meet our needs exactly and the fact you could walk from your site into the charming village of Patagonia was the icing on the cake.

This was a little slice of heaven in Patagonia. I've never stayed at a hipcamp this charming and perfect. From the outdoor shower (heaven after a long day of riding) to the quiet, to the laundry facilities, I can't think of how Melanie (and Joanie) could have made this haven any better. 20/10. We're already planning a trip back in the spring!

This is a quiet place surrounded by tall trees filled with birdsong. This great location features a wonderful outdoor shower and clean restroom. It was a great place to stay and stage for our gravel bike adventure.

Always a great peaceful place to stay. Plenty of tall trees provide shade and makes you feel you are miles from nowhere, yet you are only a couple blocks to the Main Street.

Such an amazing place, we loved our stay. Shade over the RV, wonderful outdoor shower, walking distance to Paton's center for hummingbirds, as well as all the shops and restaurants Patagonia has to offer. The other cabins/trailers are brightly painted greens, oranges and blues, and the whole place just has the cutest, most charming, and relaxing vibe you can imagine. 12 out of 10 stars. Friendly, responsive and flexible.
Previously we stayed in the Retro, and loved it, but this time we had our own trailer. We stayed at Patagonia lake for a few days first, but if I had to do it over again I would have spent the whole time at the Sanctuary.
