13 acres in a very secluded location away from city noise. But still just minutes from Hanford where you can find anything you need to shop for. Great camping area on SEASONAL Kings River. No other houses in view since we are located between 20 acres of almond trees and 30 acres of walnut trees. Very safe location with security in place.

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.

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.

This was our first camping trip with our dog and we even got lucky with being the only campers for the weekend. We went swimming and got to use the kayaks it was so much fun! In the cool morning into mid afternoon noon we sat on the dock under the umbrellas just reading our books. It did however get a bit loud someone was doing shooting practice and then the boats and sea doos were quite active in the later afternoon. Overall we really did enjoy every moment of our trip and the hosts are very kind. We can’t wait for our next trip to Mona’s.

Mona’s place is an amazing camping site, which includes wonderful river access and several options for tent locations under the trees in the shade. It has all you need for a luxury camping experience: refrigerator, shower, and restrooms, all well maintained. Also, Mona is very kind allowing us to use their kayaks! The top experience for the kids was the swing over the river enables a great jumping experience to the river. Also , in the area you can finch plenty of well maintained pick-nick tables, umbrellas, and chairs. In a 5-10 drive you can find stores for the basic supplies you need including groceries if you missed anything…☺️ We had lovely camping experience at Mona’s place, warmly recommended for others and we will be more than happy to be back again!

Such a special property that Mona & Dale have graciously given access to Hipcampers to enjoy. The open spaces for tents offers shade under mulberry trees with a working fridge, sink, trash/ recycle bins, and fire pit with plenty of wood to use. The dock has tables with umbrellas & a fun diving board to jump off (feet first - river isn’t super deep!). They event have a swing jump for the adventurous. We were treated very kindly & felt supported when asking for some accommodation given our health risks, and I’m grateful for the hosts. We had a unique situation in that we parked our camper van (ram promaster 3500) in an area we thought would be ok, but ended up getting stuck in the deep sand - so use caution when parking your vehicles in the tent camping areas. It was an unfortunate experience that did put a damper on the stay overall, but I can’t fault the hosts & honestly will be going back to visit regardless of the added stress because the spot is just so fun. Our little kids (5 & 2) wish it was their back yard - they spend hours catching fronts & swimming in the cool river on the hot summer days we spent. We also loved taking their kayaks out on the river together. Space is shared with Airbnb/hipcampers using the other rooms & RV + tent area rentals, but ample room to enjoy.

Weekend Trip to Camp near Pinnacles National Park
Wonderful experience! Everyone is so helpful, kind and welcoming! There are so many animals on the farm, each wanting your attention. The communal kitchen space even has lighting! Just a short drive to Pinnacles National Park too. I’m not sure our family will be able to venture to a traditional campground again. Highly recommend Bar SZ Ranch!

Great access to water and great amenities. Bathroom, outdoor area, trailer hookups were all great and Dale and Mona were so sweet and caring. Special place and special kind folks make this a special place. We'll be back!

Weekend Trip to Camp near Pinnacles National Park
The scene and setting at Bar SZ Ranch was great and picturesque. The added amenities of the camp kitchenette with cooking equipment, filtered drinking water, port-a-potties, tables, wifi, and communal campfire pit were great to have. The creek (river when there's rainfall) that ran nearby was a refreshing escape from the day's heat - tadpole hunting and all. We also partook in the Animal Feeding Experience for the children and that was a special highlight for the entire family. Michelle was incredibly patient and gracious throughout. The farm dog, Faith, was also a delight whenever she graced us with her gentle presence. The East entrance to Pinnacles was about a 10min drive, which was convenient. Other campers we met were friendly and mostly adhered to the Ranch's "leave everything better" principle, which is always appreciated in shared nature spaces.
