Marta also has a shop if you are interested in refurbished items or alpaca products. We are not a day camp, so if you stay a few nights, we expect you to be out most of the day. You may hear coyotes at night, and see lots of squirrels and wild bunnies. Be careful of squirrel holes. *** If we do not respond right away and give approval, it is because sometimes our schedule changes. We usually respond WITHIN the week of your stay. We generally do not accept reservations more than 3 months ahead of time. Since we also travel, sometime we have unexpected family visits.

Sasquatch has also been spotted down the Sasquatch trail at the back of the property. You are only about 5 minutes from town and restaurants. You will be camping and able to enjoy the private area outside the RV. Feel free to roam around the property and take in the scenery. Fire up the BBQ (Traeger & Blackstone Grill), play some cornhole, and enjoy the pool! The owner lives in the main house and is available 24/7 to make your stay awesome. The RV has all the amenities you will need and is located near Yosemite, Kings, and Sequoia National Parks. Take in the views of the Sierra Mountain Range on the horizon above our pasture. The RV has a full sized pull out sofa bed, a dinette that converts into a full sized bed, and a separate bedroom with a queen size memory foam mattress. A TV and free Wifi are included.

Weekend Trip to Camp near Pinnacles National Park
We had a fantastic night at this camping spot. Despite arriving at night, we found the site easily. The site was spotless, and the amenities were as described. Waking up to the sunlight, we were greeted by breathtaking scenery. Our child thoroughly enjoyed petting the animals at the nearby farm. The communication with the host was excellent. We’ll definitely book this spot again when we return to the Pinnacles area.

Amazing location! Out of the way of the hustle and bustle of everything. Very nice level sites! And huge outdoor kitchen with all the perks! And nice quartz lined fire pit. Sounds of the ranch are prevalent. Horses, dogs and a very friendly cat, roosters and chickens. Other animals around, cows, sheep and goats. Lovely place to check out and chill!

We stayed there as a halfway stop on our way to Joshua Tree. I’m originally from the Caruthers area, so i wanted to see the area after a 55 year absence. Cheryl was a responsive and welcoming host. She sent us the gate code and let us find our way. Clear directions and easy to find. Beautiful setting. It was a rainy night, so being under cover was nice.

We had an awesome night’s sleep at RandCher. The space was perfectly clean and easy to park in. We were the only campers the night we stayed, and it was a treat to have so private a setting. The coyotes and birds were fun to listen to, and after they went to sleep (?) it was SO QUIET at the vineyard. Very peaceful. Highly recommend1

We thoroughly enjoyed camping at the riverbank site. It was a delightful experience to use the canoe. Exel, a friendly and attentive host, ensured our comfort during our stay. While the potable water is a bit of a walk (about 5 minutes), the restroom is conveniently located just two minutes away. As long as you’re comfortable with this slight inconvenience, this is an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in a beautiful natural setting.

The pictures on the platform don't do justice, the property is huge and completely forgot we were camping on private property. It was also a great place for us to use our rooftop tent since national parks don't allow them. Exel made our stay enjoyable and was very responsive, super excited to see what else he's going to do to the property. He has so many great ideas. Look forward to staying here in the future again!

Beautiful and quiet felt like I was with nature. Just the escape I needed to spend quality time with my boyfriend and be with nature and experience something new. Especially my first time really camping and being in a roof top tent which was an amazing experience would highly recommend Exels property he was super friendly and helpful and even gave us some places to view near the location and helped us when we heard an animal on top of our tent. He responds fast and very respectful and friendly. Will definitely visit again and stay here again. Thank you for the amazing memories.

Beautiful location with easy to find campsites! Great signage from the entrance all the way to the back of the property where we stayed. We got to see the goats, sheep, and horses on our drive in, so that was a plus too! The communal kitchen and firepit made such a big difference in our experience. We were able to microwave and toast our dinners when we arrived. The stars were beautiful and so clear, and it was great to take a walk in the morning by the river. If i’m ever in the area again, I know where I’m stopping! Thanks Bar SZ <3

3 nights at Clovis County RV Campers with Pool!
We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect—close to the national parks, and Clovis is such a charming town. As a family of four (two adults and two kids), the RV was just right for us: comfortable, cozy, and with everything we needed. The pool was a big hit, and we loved having it to relax after our outings. We visited Yosemite and even stopped by the waterpark in Fresno on our way out, which made the trip extra fun. The host was very welcoming and hospitable. Highly recommend!

Get there before sunset, you won't want to miss it drop behind the vineyard. And although there is some light pollution the view of the stars is nothing like what you're used to in the city. I was a pain when I first arrived and bothered Cheryl and her husband with a few questions. Cheryl called me, even though it was their anniversary, to answer my questions. She and her husband, Randy, were so kind and helpful. I'm sorry again for interrupting your evening. This is an absolutely beautiful and peaceful place to stay. My husband and I highly recommend, even if only for a night. Hosts and vineyard are wonderful!
