The setting is beautiful. Out in the country with a very large hill behind you and many in front of you. Some livestock and QUIET. It is so quiet; it's wonderful. The physical spaces are wide set which is really nice. I couldn't hear our generator when I took our pup for her morning constitutional once I got to the next space. Having the gate for security is excellent. You get the code once your reservation is finalized. Matt was very responsive to emails sent thru Hipcamp. We'll stay at The Ranch again. We have a 35' motorhome and pull a Jeep.

The place was pretty good. The bathroom was clean and well equipped. The ranch had everything for a quiet and calm sleep.

Had a great experience camping here! The bathrooms can be a little bit of a walk from some of the sites, but I was impressed that the bathrooms were very clean and well stocked. I was extra impressed with the porta-potty’s automatic lights that flicked on when it was dark as well as the sink for hand washing outside.
This is a great place to camp if you have a large group since there are a lot of sites that can easily be combined. I’d recommend to arrive early if coming with a group and looking to combine sites since the sites are first come first serve.
Lake Del Valle was about 25 min drive away and there were several wineries within 1-15 minute drive. There was even a dispensary 6 minutes away which was a pleasant surprise.

Easy access. Flat ground. Great facilities. 100% recommend if you're looking for a hassle free, worry free place to camp.

Camping at Matt's ranch never disappoints. Fell asleep to near silence, woke to an occasional coyote call, and slept in until 8am when a far off rooster decided it was morning. Bathroom was clean, property was gorgeous, love this place.

Communication went smoothly throughout our stay. The site felt spacious, quiet and safe while still being centrally located. We would definitely camp here again.

We enjoyed our stay. There was lots of space for the kids to play and not interrupt anyone else’s campsites. The kids loved visiting the goats and the swing.

We really enjoyed tent camping here. It did get windy sometimes so make sure to bring some stakes and weight bags for your canopies. Lots of ants so take precautions. There was water and a picnic table at our site. The distance to the lake is not too bad and the campsite has good cell phone service with Verizon. We enjoyed the common space with clean gas grill and sink. Also loved that there were games to play in that area. The bathroom was nice too and had body soap in the shower, but the trash can in there needed to be emptied when we got there and wasn't throughout the duration of our 2 night stay. Other than that, definitely recommend!

This spot is very convenient, clean, and has a great shower. We didn't use the putting green, swings, horseshoes, grill, or corn hole but would have if we had gotten in earlier. The host was friendly and responsive to messages. I would recommend and come early enough to check out the neighboring vineyards

My mother, fiancé and I camped here for the night on our trip to southern California. The property was absolutely stunning with rolling hills on one side and what looked like a vineyard on the other side. The bathroom with the open shower to look out at the moon and stars was surreal. There is definitely a lot of wildlife that comes through the area as well, we saw an owl late at night and heard a pack of coyotes. Matt was an amazing host and even came to tell us the site we were at was under construction and allowed us to stay if we wanted to which was genuinely very kind.

“Perfect Bay Area camping spot! Secure gate = peace of mind, bathrooms well stocked, and yes—even the port-a-potty had seat covers. The community area was fun by offering outdoor activities and my kid loved the swing. 10/10 would camp again!”

Close to Livermore but feels remote. Rolling hills, no tree so can get hot. Others were camping there as well but there’s enough space that it didn’t feel crowded.
