We really enjoyed camping on Nolan's land. We were in campsite #1 beneath 3 very shaded trees, so even though it was 90F outside, it was comfortable and cool in the shade with a light breeze. We brought three large dogs and had them each tied to a different tree on long truck straps. One of the pastures was unoccupied on the pond and Stacy allowed us to let the dogs run free there - jumping in the pond, running in the field - they had the best vacation ever. At night it was so peaceful and the stars were on show. Great relaxation. It was very quiet with occasional 'blerts' from the livestock and quiet clucking from the chickens. Loved the corn hole, horseshoes, and kayaks. Great set-up, I would stay there again.

We had a fantastic stay at Camp Tule Elk. The property is beautiful, well-kept, and very comfortable. The single campsite is situated under the canopy of two mulberry trees, and at night, there is no light pollution so that you can gaze at the open sky.
The site is clean, private, and has running water, a power hookup, and a bathroom.
Upon arrival, we met Nolan, the host, who gave us the lay of the land. After that, we were left on our own. This is a working farm, with chickens (you can buy fresh eggs), goats, sheep, horses, and more.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking to unplug, recharge, and enjoy nature — we’ll definitely be back.

We had an awesome time at Vinyl Vineyards! The hosts are responsive and friendly. All of the trailers are set up in a circle around the communal outdoor kitchen area. The trailers a little close together so you don't feel totally alone, but everyone was friendly and the amenities are awesome. We had some friends staying at the tent campsite #8 and others in the Holiday Spartan trailer. It was only a 3-4 minute walk between the two.
The kitchen was equipped with pans and cooking utensils, but no spices or oils so be sure to bring your own. The bathroom / shower situation is great and stocked with shampoo / conditioner. The outdoor shower felt amazing!
Overall, would definitely stay again.

We had a great time staying at the Tule Elk campsite. Our kids loved the pack goats and caught dozens of fish right off the dock. The bathroom and water hook ups were maintained and exceeded expectations. Definitely recommend renting the propane fire pit during fire season and getting some fresh eggs.

Easy to find good directions. All I needed was a place to park my car for the night and slept inside. Felt safe. The animals were cute :)

Enjoyed our stay at Vinyl Vinyards! We stayed at a campsite and we loved having the chairs and picnic table on site plus the small walk to the top of the hill offered really great views of the surrounding area. It was very quiet and peaceful when we stayed. We loved having an outdoor shower available with hot water! We drove into town for the evening which was very convenient.

We celebrated Mother’s Day here with our 3 year old daughter. It had everything we needed while tent camped for a night. The lake was beautiful during sunset and full of fish to catch. Bathroom, faucet, and outlet all on site. Perfect way to camp and avoid the crowds.

Cindy and her husband were delightful. We just needed a place to camp with our rooftop tent, a bathroom and a shower for a gravel bike race I was competing in. The bonus was the natural hot springs which were used before and after the race. You’ll get used to the sulphur smell after awhile. You notice it more outside of the pool. Don’t expect a resort. This is a fun, quirky and unique property that fit our agenda.
A little disappointed in some of the “day use” people who were a little trashy and had a difficult time picking up after themselves, garbage, swimsuits, towels, pool noodles, etc. After 9pm or early in the morning is the best time to enjoy the hot springs and avoid the riff raff. Bring mosquito repellent, which I forgot to bring. Since you’re camping near a small lake/creek that doesn’t move, the bugs will feast. The goats, ducks and geese were pretty cool. About 10 mins away from downtown Paso, and close to the start of my race at Castoro Cellars, this was a good option for us.

Nice spot! We pitched a tent in site 10. Appreciated the well-maintained dirt/DG roads and pads, the site furniture, ample trashcans, and nice restrooms. Sunset Hill was a beautiful place to take in the golden hour. Our 2 young girls rode bikes throughout the campground and enjoyed looking at the airstream units. I caught 6 deer in the early morning, grazing near the site! Didn’t use the communal kitchen/bbq area, but looked well-equipped. Will definitely look to return and have already recommended it to family who likes to visit the area - especially for the airstream glamping setup.
