1. Wolf Six Ranch • Wine Country Stay

100%

(2)

45mi from Avenal · 3 sites · RVs, Lodging · Creston, CA

Wolf Six Ranch @ Indian Oaks Wolf Six Ranch @ Indian Oaks sits in the heart of Central Coast wine country—oak-dotted hills, a stone’s throw from downtown Creston and just five minutes from the nearest winery. We traveled full-time around the U.S. for over a year in our RV, and our favorite stays were always on someone’s property—ranches, farms, and wineries. That’s part of why we fell for this place: along with a cozy tiny house, we have two RV sites with full hookups, making it a natural fit for fellow travelers. We purchased the ranch this year for our kids, family, and friends—and while we’re making improvements, we’d love to share the serenity and small-town feel of Creston with you. We’re tucked away, not isolated—20–25 minutes to Paso Robles, Templeton, or Atascadero, and about 35 to San Luis Obispo. Spend the day wine tasting, visiting farm stands, or hiking nearby trails, then come “home” to quiet, big skies, and knockout sunsets. Wildlife is part of the rhythm here—deer in the pastures, cows wandering through like they own the place, and great bird-watching (quail in the grass, hawks cruising above, owls after sunset, hummingbirds and blue jays in the oaks). Straightforward, from-scratch breakfast by Christy (trained chef, long-time culinary instructor, and One Three Ghee co-founder): baked goods, fresh fruit, and ranch eggs when the gals are laying. Work-in-progress charm (honesty corner): • Rustic ranch setting—unpaved roads, occasional mooing, and frequent jaw-dropping sunsets. • Cattle and wildlife roam—please admire respectfully and leave gates as you found them. • Great hiking on the property, plus easy access to dozens of wineries. • Our gate says “Indian Oaks” (you’re in the right place!). • We’re actively upgrading as we go—comfortable, thoughtful spaces made for unwinding, not perfection. If you’re craving nature, stillness, and the friendliest small-town energy—without giving up world-class wine—Wolf Six Ranch is your spot. Come exhale, explore Creston, and let me handle breakfast.

Weekend Trip to Johansing Farms

We absolutely loved our experience at the farm, the hosts could not have been any nicer and it was exactly what we needed after a less than perfect experience at another Hipcamp the night before. I can’t wait to go back again and spend more time at the farm. First time I’ve ever had a host pre light a fire for us as well, they definitely went above and beyond for us and made our visit very memorable.

2 nights at Wolf Six Ranch • Wine Country Stay

This is a very special property, it felt like we walked for miles each day with our dogs in gentle rolling hills dotted with beautiful oak trees and not having any indication of humanity, lots of nature. Each night we walked up the nearby hill to watch the seemingly endless sunsets transform from yellows oranges and reds into shades of purple. The site is clean level and easy to access and the hookups are easy and clean. Christy was responsive, helpful and friendly with a nice gift bag upon arrival and other baking options in the mornings. There’s no doubt we’ll visit many more times when we need a nature break. Highly recommend.

Juno’s Creek Site offers 20- and 30-amp hookups, water, and sewer — everything you need for an easy RV stay.

If you have kids this place is amazing. Olwyn and Doug were so lovely and charming....Olwyn gave out 3yr olds a long tour with the animals which they adored. Worth the visit.

View of the site from the bunkhouse! So spacious - bunkhouse is so sweet if you need a warm up!

Weekend Trip to Johansing Farms

We spent two wonderful days at this property. The place is beautiful, surrounded by pastures and vineyards, and the owners are incredibly kind and helpful. We mentioned that we wanted to have a BBQ for dinner, and they provided us with a wood-burning grill, complete with firewood and fire starters. We cooked one of their rib-eyes — absolutely delicious! It was our first experience with a wood-fired BBQ, and we loved it! The property also has a fire pit. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you!

A very friendly host, Douglas, received us, showed us where to park to get the best view! It is a farm Oasis! No other word for it! It is one of the most peacefull, quiet and calming spot we’ve been to! And just what we needed after the craziness of Los Angeles! And your night skies….wow!! Olwyn, Douglas and sons, dogs Rumbles, Wookie, Lizzy, Winnie, Yogi and all the other animals (goats, horses, Tom the turkey, pigs, ducks and cows); thank you so much for having us!

We loved the place, and our toddler had the absolute time of his life, feeding all the animals and hanging out with Olwyn while she told him about the horses and the goats and everything else. Would absolutely love to stay here again, was a fantastic getaway 35 minutes from Pismo Beach

This spot is a little peace of heaven. Our drive in from LA, through the Santa Monica National Recreation Area and up the pacific coast highway was one of the most beautiful drives we have ever made. The rolling hills surrounded by farm and vineyard were the perfect setting to close our day. Perfect temps in July and we slept with the windows open and didn’t even run the generator??? Spot was level and clean and great communication from Olwyn. She gave our kids an incredible tour of the farm and let them help with all the animals. Quick stay but would recommend without reservation! A+++

Very nice quiet place to spend the night and enjoy the scenery. We were greeted by the host, they were very nice and welcoming. They offered meat for sale in the future visits and even showed us the near by cattle. We will definitely plan on a big group next time.

What an exceptional spot! So peaceful! The hosts are welcoming and warm, just truly good people. Meeting the animals was beyond what I could have imagined. So many cute animals living their best life there under Olwyns amazing care. The kids LOVED it so much and couldn't wait to return to the campsites after our daytrips to greet the dogs. The dogs are such sweethearts and we were so sad to say goodbye. My daughter is still drawing pictures of Lizzy all the time and says she will never forget her. Highly recommend 10/10!

Holy cow, this place is amazing! The scenery is stunning, the camp is charming, the hosts are so kind and the beef is delicious (yes, you can buy their beef while there too). This is new to hip camp, but I can tell you right now, its going to be a very popular spot. I highly recommend it!

Wow - Johansing farms is one of those slices of heaven that we have been so lucky to be invited into. Will & Jesse (and their two girls) were the most welcoming, made sure we had everything we needed and answered all of our questions about the property with smiles on their faces. You can tell they have poured a lot of love into this land. We will definitely be coming back and telling all of our friends about it!

We absolutely loved this spot. My kids and dogs loved the farm since they were able to freely roam the land. It’s a very peaceful spot that overlooks the farm and other hillsides. There is no vehicle traffic noise. The farm animals were very cute and friendly. Olwyn and her husband were super friendly and interactive. My kids loved helping them feed the farm animals in the morning and evenings. We give this spot a 10 out of 10 and will be back in the near future.
