Such a great place to visit. I went in a camper and stayed in site #10. The site was clean and super quiet and peaceful. We used the paddle boards to go in the lake. My dogs enjoyed the lake as well. No one bothers you. You have an amazing view of the mountains and it’s just beautiful. Full hookups so that was a super plus. I definitely plan on going back soon. Must visit this site when you have a chance!

We had a very quick stay (late arrival due to traffic) but had an easy time finding and accessing the location. It was so quiet and peaceful, I forgot how much I missed seeing the stars while living in the city. It was beautiful. Host was very sweet and communicative. Definitely will be coming back on my next trip up near the sierras.

The Robison Ranch was an absolute wonderful place to stay. The views are fantastic, the it is very private and quiet, the owners of the ranch (Leslie and Frank) were wonderful and the volunteers were also great people. I stayed out there for three weeks and loved it! I would defiantly love to come back and stay again.

Camp site was clean had a cute little pond to walk around. We also played on the tennis courts (they provided tennis raquets and balls). We made a day trek to death valley national park, which took about 2 hours from the site. The camp site was nice because it was quiet and not super busy. We took our two kids and 2 dogs, everyone had a great time!

This was such a great spot for us to find when we changed our route last minute! It was a bit wet/chilly out so we didn’t use many of the amenities but the views were GREAT. We met Nacho on the way in and he even let us switch sites so we weren’t right next to anyone. I highly recommend this easy site!

The whole site is fantastic. Ricardo and his brotherJamie welcomed me at the entrance helped me set up for the night. As an added plus they walked me through the extraordinary collection vintage cars and memorabilia collected at the museum. I can't say enough about their herculean efforts to restore one of America's historic small mining towns.
Also, the site where the movie "CLAW" was filmed.
Excellent place to stay going to or returning from Death Valley.

Beautiful site for quiet, privacy, and stargazing! My first time on a real horse ranch. There were many possibilities for where on the ranch we could park the RV, we parked near a barn in the back and could hear the horses snorting, it was very relaxing. We dry camped but water and electric outlets were available. Host was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable, which is much appreciated. Location was perfect, 5 minutes from the highway but it felt remote. Great spot!

We arrived at 9 PM at the campground and were pleasantly surprised to be welcomed by a helpful gentleman who pointed us to our spot. The spot had 100 A/50A/30A hookups, water hookup and also a full restroom (shared) nearby. The lake was serene in the morning. Conveniently located near the highway.

it was our first time staying here and it was a lovely location. it was spacious, accommodated our RV, had water and electric hook ups, a lovely pond that we walked around in the early morning and watching the sunset come up was beautiful.
we spotted tons of rabbits and birds everywhere — it looked like a movie location.
the only small issue (not in a big way for us) was that if you plan to use the showers / restroom here, it only fits 1 individual at a time. so be prepared to wait if you plan to use.
nacho was a great host and very communicative throughout our stay.

loved that they had both water and electric hook ups. the views were great and we walked around the lake in the early hours and it was beautiful with the sun rising and all the birds chirping.
the entire location looks like a movie scene.
although this wasn’t a huge deal for us, as others have pointed out, the shower area is just for one person. so if there are a lot of campers there wanting to use it, be aware of the wait times.
nacho was great, friendly and very communicative.
we will def plan to stay here whenever passing by.
thank you, nacho!

Nacho reached out with a message right away offering a greeting and additional directions that were very helpful and made our arrival seamless. Our RV site (#10) was lakeside and offered a lovely view. We found the campground and lake very peaceful. We enjoyed our stay (regrettably only one night) very much and will definitely come back for a longer visit if our travels bring us back this way in the future.

The pond was honestly so cute and had so many different birds flying around! The host was very accommodating! We didn’t realize how far this camp was from the other side of Death Valley, but definitely worth is with the view of the Sierra Nevadas! Although there is only one restroom/shower, it was very nice and had plenty of hot water! Easy to get to and close to a gas station!!
