Weekend Trip to Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

It's a great location that's secluded with amazing views! We'd definitely stay there again.

Weekend Trip to SLO Country Camp

We have stayed and Ken and Judi’s place before and absolutely love it. Proximity to SLO and ease of getting to and from the campsite is a huge plus. Ken comes by to check on his guests and everything was prepared for us in advance. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Atascadero’s hidden gem

We needed a site with hookups and enough space to feel comfortable as we passed through the Atascadero area on a trip down the coast. We were grateful that Barb's spot fit the bill perfectly! We had hookups and water and a pen for our dogs. We were grateful for the kind greeting but equally for the space to do our thing and carry on our trip. Thank you so much for having us, Barb!

1 night at Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

A nice escape to a little spot on the top of a mountain. A nice table set up under a solar lit oak tree was very atmospheric for our meals. Water readily available and a compost WC close enough as needed. As animal lovers, we enjoyed a few of the friendly farm animals that came by to visit. Beautiful views. Being on top of the ridge, you may find you're in a morning cloud for certain seasons. Be careful when exiting Hwy 101. If traveling southbound, it is worthwhile heading into SLO to u-turn at Monterey exit to be safer. When exiting northbound, slow down well in advance after summiting Cuesta, as the turn will suddenly appear. Note: this is not a place to considering driving into town from camp routinely due to the challenges of entering and exiting Hwy 101. Plan to spend most of your time relaxing in camp, or exploring further up Mt. Lowe road to the several antenna hilltops and enjoy the amazing views.

Weekend Trip to SLO Country Camp

Ken was awesome and the campsite was great! We can’t wait to stay again in the future!

3 nights at Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

Man! This spot is absolutely AMAZING!! Karina and Chris are sooooo kind and awesome. The site its self is absolutely beautiful and in my opinion a perfect location as well. All the animals we got to hang out with were definitely a perk too! We will 10000% be returning. Thank you for making our weekends so great!

1 night at Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

Excellent for a quick or extended stay, convenient location, beautiful views and some hiking as well, would certainly visit again.

1 night at SLO Country Camp

Beautiful rural neighborhood with rolling hills and close to town. Host was so great and the camp sight was very well maintained. I felt very safe camping alone. Went on a walk around the neighborhood and it was very picturesque. Highly recommend!

3 nights at MooBahNeigh Gardens

This was such a great spot to relax and watch the wildlife and nearby animals! It was very peaceful and relaxing.

7 nights at SLO Country Camp

Weekend Trip to Diamond E Ranch

Very nice family that has small farm in a quite neighborhood .

Weekend Trip to Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

Our stay at Chris & Karina's campsite was absolutely fantastic! The site is stunning—beautifully maintained and perfectly secluded while still feeling safe and accessible. It came with everything we needed: a clean and well-kept compost toilet, a picnic table, fire pit, fire extinguisher, and a shovel. There was plenty of flat space for our three tents, chairs, and gear, and even a charming little bench nearby that gave us the perfect spot to watch the sunset. We were able to purchase firewood ahead of time, and it was conveniently delivered before we arrived. Chris and Karina were incredibly kind and responsive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend staying at one of their properties- you won't be disappointed!

Weekend Trip to Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

I loved the remoteness (but still close enough to go into town for breakfast), the views, and the space. Thank you!!!

David and Company took great care of our large group. Very attentive to any needs or issues that came up and were just a text away. Lovely piece of land, especially during the spring when we come there. This is our third year having a party/reunion there and we are never going to choose another place. To us, this is absolute paradise. Lovely for hikes and bikes around the campsite and beyond. Huge fire pit for big fires and a cool stage for entertaining and music/DJ. Super clean bathroom with a sink also. Pure well water is offered at a very low cost as well which tastes divine.

Weekend Trip to Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

What a special, dreamy place - I think we said “wow” fifty times on the drive up the access road. Nestled amongst the mountain tops, this working ranch offered everything we were looking for and more: views, wildflowers (they’re the reward for the rainy spring weather), free range farm animals, hiking/walks, and peace and privacy. The hosts were so warm and lovely, and treated us more like neighbors than guests. Our four year old is ready to move there (swayed by the pigs and the owner’s fluffy dogs, I believe), and was sad to leave. Can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Broken Branch Creek

We ended up booking Broken Branch Creek last minute due to an unexpected car issue—and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best camping experiences we’ve had. The Ranch is peaceful and quiet, especially at night. The site was well maintained with clean port potties and running water available, which was a huge plus for dry camping. You can tell the hosts really care about keeping the space comfortable and welcoming. Speaking of the hosts—they were amazing! Super responsive from the moment we booked, and Kevin even stopped by our site to greet us and share some awesome local tips. It really made us feel at home and added a personal touch you don’t get everywhere. Highly recommend this spot whether you're in a bind or planning a peaceful getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

2 nights at MooBahNeigh Gardens

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.

2 nights at Paso Robles Camping

This is a very nice place to stay. Having the farm pond to ourselves and watching the ducks was very relaxing. Access was easy and our 17 foot trailer was no problem. It was beautiful, quiet, and exactly what we needed to relax. We will be back in the future.

Weekend Trip to SLO Country Camp

I loved tent camping at the property. It was just as advertised, and a perfect little get away. Directions were easy and everything was clean. The hosts were easy to communicate with. I brought my dog who also had a great time. I will definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to SLO Country Camp

Camping at Ken and Judi’s is always fantastic. The layout is perfect. Enough privacy if you want it, but it’s easy to say hi to your neighbor (and pet their dog) if that’s what you’re into. Having a shower and a kitchen sink is an added bonus. We love staying here and will be back I’m sure!

12 sites · RVs, Tents124 acres · Cambria, CA

We can accommodate tent campers or car campers. Each campsite fits 4-6 people. The price is $40/per person. Kids under 12 are free. Most campsites are accessible by car and all campsites are accessible by foot. PLEASE NOTE, we do not have a traditional check in procedure. Campsites are first come first serve. Expect a "self-check in process" most of the time. However, there are sometimes people working onsite that you may run into, that are happy to help and lead you in the right direction. You choose your own campsite so plan to arrive early. You can park and walk around. There is signage that says "CAMP" with Arrows. BYO water. We have sulfur spring water. Great for your skin, not good to drink! There's a couple outhouses on the property. One in the main camp zone, one at the far north end of the lower Redwood campsite. You can also bring a shovel and take a walk if you're in the more remote campsites. We have a dumpster outside the gate for your garbage. IMPORTANT INFO Please don't mind our farm junk/tools as you enterGate 1! We are slowly working on clean up and relocation of materials from the entry road and away from view. Before you arrive, have knowledge of poison oak because it is a native plant. The main photos in the listing are taken from Hipcamp Scouts back in 2018 and they are featuring our Original campsite. This is located past the mineral baths. It's the furthest one to reach, and accessible by foot. I will update photos to depict all the campsites, but please share your photos with us on Instagram and tag @charanspringsfarm to help future campers get a view of what the sites look like with a tent set up! SULFUR MINERAL BATHS Include in your experience the use of our sulfur mineral baths. It's $10 per person. PLEASE BOOK THIS AS AN EXTRA AT CHECKOUT. The mineral baths are 2 funky vintage clawfoot tubs that are pictured in the actual listing.The photos show an accurate description of the Mineral Baths. They are not located in the main camp zone. Please call ahead to book your time slot and get directions to the mineral baths. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK IF: You are looking for "Glamping," (Glamour Camping). It's primitive camping on a private property with bonuses like the garden, rustic baths, and beautiful nature. This property has been a working farm for decades, which has struggled with hard times. If farm yards/junk piles make you uncomfortable or give you a creepy feeling, don't book because our boneyard is adjacent to the entry road and it can't be ignored. Thank you for reading this whole description and we hope you have a good experience.

SLO Country Camp

2 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · San Luis Obispo, CA

SLO Country Camp was once a part of the Serpa Ranch, one of the early ranches of the Central Coast. It’s remained a beautiful rural pocket in the Edna Valley area of San Luis Obispo. It’s quiet and peaceful, enjoy your morning coffee listening to all the birds waking up. There’s a private creek not far away that draws deer and wildlife. Just saw 3 deer run through out property 2 days ago. Owls, red tail hawks, eagles, squirrels and jack rabbits we see frequently. And you can listen to the coyotes howling at night. We’re surrounded by rolling coastal hills, vineyards, horses, cattle and also land apportioned to the Land Conservancy. Walk down our road and then left up to the top of the hill for a panoramic view of the entire area with the city San Luis Obispo at a distance. Our two sites are flat on decomposed granite pads. Both have excellent views and easy access to our common areas: wash/kitchen prep, and cold-water outdoor shower. Site 1 is best for trailers but Site 2 is adequate. Firewood is available for purchase at camp for those wanting to use the fire pit, or you can bring your own. The San Luis Obispo, Central Coast has so much to see and do! Hiking trails abound, my favorites are Bob Jones trail to walk or bike to Avila Beach, Johnson Ranch and Irish Hills for hiking hills, the Ridge trail for a view over Shell and Avila beaches, and the Harmony Trail to walk grassy cliffs by the ocean. Montano de Oro is only 15 minutes away with rocky ocean cliff trails that lead down to the coastline. We are 5 minutes from the beginning of the Edna Valley winery trail with 30 wineries or more I’ve lost count. Tasting and relaxing in great atmospheres. My favorites are Biddle Ranch, Talley, Mailene, Chamisal, Bailyanna... but there are so many more. We’re 10 minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo, 10–12 minutes to Avila or Pismo beaches. Morro Bay is 25 minutes. And we’re just 5 minutes off the 101 for easy access to traveling. The Central Coast has almost everything for fun, adventure and food. Surfing, biking, hiking, ocean kayaking, paddle boarding, golf, wine and beer culture, ranch lands, shopping and restaurants and we’re close to it all.
