With over 1500 Four star + reviews, our property has hosted thousands of happy guests. Situated on 10 acres overlooking the Salinas River and beautiful Paso Robles estate vineyards, the epic views are spectacular.

One trailer is sleeping quarters with a mini kitchenette and the other trailer is a full bathroom with shower. The spaces are small and cozy. The views are epic. Overlooking the majestic Paso Robles valley with vineyards with world class views, the spacious deck is the place to be for sunset.

Fully equipped with a small kitchen, queen bed, reading nook and two beautiful outdoor decks, you'll feel like you stepped into another world.
The Main Bungalow is a 1970's GEM, built by a movie industry icon with views of the valley through the stunning and huge five windows overlooking the Salinas River. Two bedrooms downstairs and two full baths, accompany a well appointed kitchen. The upstairs loft accommodates two additional semi private queen beds, and additional seating area. Sunrises from the bedrooms are rivaled by few.

Chateau Vigne is our second home, sometimes short term rental on 1.34 acres on the west side of Atascadero. It is a serene and peaceful property. There are daily deer sitings on the property and the location couldn't be better. It is right off the 101 freeway, but far enough for peace and quiet. We are central to Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay and Cambria. Only 30 minutes to Hearst Castle, 1.25 hours to Solvang, 24 minutes to Morro Bay or Cambria. There are more wineries than you could possibly visit, natural hot springs nearby, Atascadero lake, zoo, spas, amazing hiking, horse riding etc.
Grocery, fast food, shopping & great restaurants are within minutes and the thrifting and antiquing around here is amazing. Atascadero has that small town feel with lots of community events on the calendar.

Weekend Trip to Rancho Rio Del Sol: Paso Robles, CA
This was our second visit to the dream catcher. It was every bit as magical as the first time. The addition of two young cats to the property was an awesome surprise, their playful antics were fun to watch. This is a rustic beautiful space. The deck is perfect for taking in the views. The tub is my favorite part.

Wow. What a magical space! Even our dog, who is always skiddish at new places, was at total peace here. The outdoor tub is awesome. The sleeping camper was sooo cozy. Every part of the space felt carefully thought out. The big deck overlooking the rolling farmland.. majestic. We’ll be back for sure!

I went to view the meteor showers so I parked my RV out in the field. I didn’t have to level it because it was easy to find a flat spot and easy to turn around. I didn’t use the other amenities on the property as I was only there for the meteor showers which was great😄

The dream catcher exceed my expectations and was so cute and cozy, had a lot of extra amenities such as a propane fire pit, hot running water and a flushable toilet and the host so graciously provided towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash and a hair dryer! The setting itself is so beautiful and has an amazing view. The “kitchen” provided has a few things but I would recommend bringing your own equipment for cooking. Lastly, the bed is very firm and unfortunately we were unable to sleep well on it at all, we used some of the outdoor chair cushions to add some extra comfort to it which helped us sleep better the second night but if you aren’t used to an extra firm mattress I would recommend bringing some extra cushion/padding. I would definitely go back again despite this as we had a lovely time. We were lucky enough to have the property to ourselves that weekend so our experience was very private but would just like to mention that the dream catcher site is located between the two other main camping sites on this property. Otherwise this place was super cool and definitely a neat find!

The Dream Catcher site was so awesome! Everything from the outdoor bathtub for an evening soak to the warmth from the heater made for a great visit. The sunset and rise from the property are also to die for! I would recommend this property to anyone that is planning on visiting the area! My pup also loved the freedom of running around the site!

Weekend Trip to Rancho Rio Del Sol: Paso Robles, CA
I originally booked the Dream Catcher, but due to repairs, Laura kindly upgraded us to the Tiny Home! A kind host, they would answer my every Q and offer if we needed anything extra like more charcoal to grill.
Upon walking in, you will be blown away 😍 A cozy, vintage & artistic gem, lots of unique decor 🌱 We spun some vinyl, danced under the dimmed lighting, enjoyed homemade meals on the patio, stargazed 🌌 and took in those sunrise views 🌄
It did get a bit chilly at night, but the space heater worked well and the bed was very comfy 😌 WiFi was also steady for streaming movies.
Now, the stairs to the sleeping loft / reading nook are steep & narrow — so it can be tricky for those with mobility or body-size considerations. Also, the hot water lasted about 5 minutes before turning lukewarm — just something to be aware of. On the other hand, really appreciated the cleaning supplies & disinfectant sprays that were provided 🧽
All in all, this is truly an ideal stay. From being only 15 minutes away from the world-famous Sensorio Light Exhibit, to then beautiful drives towards the coast, this made for a wonderful getaway. We hope to be able to return down the line 🥰

Holiday RV Park offers so much. I was greeted by a staff member that had me follow him to my site. He assisted me in backing my RV perfectly into the site. The bathroom and showers are clean and heated. My grandchildren and my self enjoyed the pool and spa. Lots of swim toys for the kids and floats for adults. They offer outdoor sinks, which helped me with more space cleaning dishes. The office staff is so awesome, friendly and helpful.

Cindy and her husband were very gracious to us. We arrived late and had difficulty finding their driveway. They came out to the main highway with their lights on and guided us in and provided us with a nice spot with hookups on a holiday weekend with out reservations. We are very grateful for their kindness.

This is probably one of my favorite hipcamps I ever stayed at. Everything is so thoughtfully curated for you, it made my stay super comfy. The only thing I brought of my own was my cooking set up, but other than that this place has everything you could need. It felt private, the views were spectacular and it’s close to whatever activity you’ve got on your list. It was lovely for a solo trip and I look forward to return with good company. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Rancho Rio Del Sol: Paso Robles, CA
We visited the tiny Dreamcatcher for our anniversary weekend in Paso Robles and loved it. It was so peaceful there, and despite the fact we were there in the middle of July, we love the cool breeze that kissed us through the canyons. We cooked 3 meals while there, soaked in the outdoor tub, stargazed on the deck, and just enjoyed the peacefulness of the property!
Definitely bring a box of camping stuff if you plan to cook meals. They have some kitchen stuff available, but not everything. The bed was also short, so if you are tall, that is something to consider.. One side of the bed does have a foot extension for a pillow…so we made that work.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to friends. Thank you, Dreamcatcher.!

The little vintage trailer was a really fun place to spend a couple of nights on our vacation in Paso Robles! We really enjoyed having the opportunity to have a quiet, peaceful, private place to relax and take in the views. The outdoor cat, Rose, was a very snuggly kitty, and it was sweet having her greet us whenever we were around. The whole outdoor sitting area was lovely - twinkly lights, a deck, chairs, a propane fire pit, an outdoor refrigerator, and lovely plantings of succulents and cacti made the place beautiful! The outdoor hot/cold tub was a neat addition to the space as well, and the fully plumbed outhouse was great. If you are looking for a unique glamping experience, we definitely recommend this place! We would be happy to visit this location again.

Where to go
The Big Sur Coast
Arguably the prettiest stretch of coastline in California—if not in the country—Big Sur is characterized by postcard-worthy views of the Pacific Ocean and a mix of upscale eco-lodges and backwoods coastal camping. Made popular by authors such as Henry Miller and those that came after him, this area has had a reputation as a counterculture haunt for decades, a torch that's carried to this day by the Esalen Institute hot springs and retreat center.
Santa Barbara County
South of the lake, where the Southern and Central California Coasts meet, Santa Barbara County features pretty beaches, charming towns, lots of wineries, and plenty of historic sites. The Santa Ynez Mountains offer miles of hiking, while the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes near Santa Maria are great for exploring by ATV.
Sequoia Country
East of Lake Nacimiento, the Sequoia National Forest and Sequoia National Park are best known for their groves of ancient sequoias, some of the world's tallest trees. This region is also fantastic for camping, with hundreds of backcountry and developed camping areas, plus thousands of miles of trails.
When to go
Lake Nacimiento is definitely a summer destination, and the hot period between July and September is perfect for swimming, boating, and standup paddleboarding. This is, naturally, the most popular time to visit the lake, when area campground reservations are likely to fill up quickly. To camp without the crowds, consider coming in October, when the weather is generally still warm enough for camping (if a tad cold for swimming).
