Leards L-3 Ranch
1. Leards L-3 Ranch
100%
(180)
31mi from Murphys · 1 site · Tent, RV
The L3 Ranch was founded in 1974 when my grandfather bought the property for his show cows. In 1978, someone gave him a racehorse to pay off a debt. From then on, the property was known for its Quarter horse race horses, with some of the best in the state being born right here. In 2013 he found our he had cancer and handed the ranch down to me, Travis. While he survived the cancer, he's happy in retirement playing cards with his buddies every week and hanging out with his dog.Now the ranch is known for its horse boarding, cattle, and goats. We even hold weddings and events at the lake sometime. My main goal is to bring the ranch in a more in line with sustainable ranching. Its a process, but I love what I am doing, and where the ranch is going.

We really enjoyed our first stay on the ranch! The spot is perfect for families with kids and dogs, trailers or tents. The extra amenities like row boats, firewood, plenty of seating, huge picnic/cooking area and flush toilets really set this place apart. Travis was a great host and made our stay stress-free and super relaxing.
(The weather was beautiful at the end of October) We can’t wait to go back!

My partner and I loved staying at Cole’s Ranch! Barry is extremely hospitable and organized. All of the amenities he provides were also super clean; we really appreciated the clean bathroom and kitchen area. Highly recommend the tour he provides as well! We ended up booking the hay ride and cow/calf experience and all of their cows were friendly and loved being pet. We’re definitely going to come back again next time!

The RV sites are well laid out, spacious, and flat, next to a lovely pomegranate orchard and near a pleasant river. Barry was extremely friendly and helpful, greeting us when we got there and showing us around the amenities. The boats available for use were great, and the kitchen area provided a place with hot water on demand to do dishes so we didn’t have to heat it up on our stove. My only regret was not bringing fishing gear along; maybe next time, since we will definitely keep this on our list of places to come back to.

It was a very secluded area. I loved the fact that I was the only person there and there was no other camper it was nice. It wasn't very far from Yosemite. And you had everything there you needed a shower, A toilet. Gallon of water. Fire pit.

The host had the camp ground equipped with a picnic table under a tent canopy, which was greatly enjoyed for food prep. He had a nice screened fire pit and comfy chairs to chilax in. Camp site #1 had nice big shade trees and was the best choice of the 2 that we saw. The best surprise was the cool red wood shower that had on demand hot water for great showers, a surprise luxury. Take water, as hosts warned, there is no water, thus no real toilets either, but a very clean and well stocked port-a-pot!
This camp site is surprisingly close to Yosemite west entrance on 120!
I will stay there again on our next visit.
Oh yeah, and at night... those stars! Wow!

It's a very nice site if you don't mind being 100ft from the highway. Traffic dies at night but picks up pretty early. The amenities were exactly as listed and having the gas station across the street was great. If you have a large group get both the sites because they're very close. I would stay again. The shower, portopotty and table were perfect.

Our time there was very private and safe. We had to leave our RV for a few days to look for property to purchase and everything was left the same when we came back. Our RV was left a few times in a trusting environment behind an electric gate. At arrival, you are given a remote to this gate to come and go as you please. Our spot was secluded and very peaceful. I would definitely recommend this rv park to a friend. I had several dogs with me and they were very happy as well. It’s a beautiful and peaceful location with plenty of room for your furry loved ones.

Site #1 was put together very well and was spacious, shower and restroom were clean and had no issues while there. Site also comes with its own canopy which is super helpful. Before your stay you do get a message which Jim does go very into detail in regards to the site and how to work specific items there. Site is also only 7-10 minutes away from Yosemite, does not feel like a long ride, definitely enjoy the view while you are there it is all beautiful. Definitely recommend trying this camp site out!
