We were only able to stay one night, and are definitely staying a full weekend next time! What a gift to find a riverside retreat and such a relaxing, simple layout just minutes from town. Thank you, Ed!

Nancy has truly thought of everything to make a stay at her place effortless and relaxing. From personally greeting you and guiding you to the site on your first visit, to pampering you with extra amenities, she goes above and beyond. Her property is stunning—exactly what I was hoping for, both for myself and my two high energy dogs. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect, all while staying conveniently close to town.

We loved tent camping here! We enjoyed the privacy of Site B, as well as the clean outhouses and hot water shower. The hosts are communicative and friendly, and keep to themselves unless you request assistance. One thing to note is that site B is on an incline. The picnic area is relatively level and the tent spot is nice and flat, though still a bit slanted. Building a campfire was easy with wood and fire starters purchased from the host and delivered straight to the campsite. Spend the extra couple of dollars for the colorful fire packs! Overall, this was a great stay in a convenient location (easy driving distance from Monterey and Santa Cruz). Would definitely return!

We loved Heather and Ed’s wonderful property! We did so many fun things: water gunfights, kayaking, swimming, cowboys training (ax throwing and roping cow), and stargazing. And that was only the first day! On the second day we went on a five-hour kayaking trip with Ed’s help. Truly amazing experiences. We fell in the river at least three times but it was great fun.
Already recommended your place to one of our Boy Scout leaders. We will definitely come back again. :-)

Ed & Heather was just a delight and really goes out of their way to help you get the best experience camping at their very lovely property. At one point Ed was teaching the other campers how to lasso and he was giving me fishing pointers. Special mention to Blue and Axel (pups) that played with my kids by the waters. Definitely recommend!

Our entire family loved Nancy’s ranch. Our kid enjoyed the Daisy the Donkey and Hannah the Horse; our dogs chased endless squirrels for miles, and we enjoyed the beautiful surroundings in a quiet area. We will definitely be back.

The camp site was well maintained with plenty of flat ground for setting up tents. There was no difficult in finding the location as the instructions were very clear. The hosts greeted us on arrival and pointed out where the amenities are.

Loved having the whole site to ourselves. The location is beautiful and quiet - lots of wildlife to watch - birds, ground squirrels and in addition to the resident horse and donkey. Nancy was very welcoming and gave us the full rundown as well as recommendations for coffee and ice cream nearby. A very relaxing time

Nice and clean camp sites, showers and outhouses. Very good at communication. Privacy and spacious sites. Clean pool and nice view. Lots of poison oak on trails but easy to spot and avoid. Gets cold and misty since close to beach.

Great stay at this lovely Hipcamp. Host (Nancy) met me nearby and guided me in which was helpful - it is up a rather obscure road. Very private, in fact was lucky enough to have the whole thing to myself. Even with another group there would have been plenty of room. Very clean bathroom and a fun, old West looking outside area. Will repeat!

A beautiful and very peaceful place, loved the outdoor kitchen and flush toilet complete with bidet!
The very best part was the fully fenced property so my dog could be off leash the entire time.
Hannah the horse and Daisy the donkey were the icing on the cake.
Absolutely loved my stay here and would return in a heartbeat!

We had a great Hipcamp time at Nancy’s ranch - she is a wonderful camp host and allowed us to feed her horse and donkey which my wife loved very much - Thanks for the farm fresh eggs too!
