Weekend Trip to Cole Ranch
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this HipCamp! The tent site was perfect — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. Everything we needed was there, from a well-equipped kitchen and fridge to spotless indoor toilets (such a bonus when camping with kids!). We went on the river a couple of times and the kids loved playing in it. Barry, our host, was attentive, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. Firewood was available for purchase, which made our evenings around the campfire even better. I came with my two kids, and we all had such a great time — we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for an easy, relaxing, and well-run camping experience.

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!

My buddy and I wanted to get back into camping, and we heard about Hipcamp from a friend. We found Fisherman's Hideout on Cole Ranch just about 20 minutes from his house. Barry messaged us immediately after we booked and sent us a thorough welcome packet that had all of the information regarding our visit. He came right out to us when he saw us pull into our campsite. He was super friendly and we got a tour of the property from his wife. The campsite was clean and had a new firepit with benches. The bathrooms were clean and we had a great first Hipcamp experience. We will definitely be back again

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.

I don't know which was more lovely, the camp ground or the hosts. Everything was amazing. The kitchen and bathrooms were not just clean, they were nice...like nice nice. The grounds were clean and very well kept. I go camping every year for my birthday, and this year was the best. I will 100% be back.

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.

A beautiful, beginner and family-friendly camp ground! Barry, the host, is extremely helpful and just a text away. The amenities, kitchen, fridge, clean bathrooms with flushing toilet and shower, and water equipment (kayaks, lifejackets, paddle boats) are all there if you forget anything. Site 1, 2, and 3 share the same river-front grass field and Fisherman's Hideout is a bit more secluded but a slope down to the water. So for those who are interested, you may choose to pitch at tent by the water or up the slope where the fire pit and water spigot is. I had a very relaxing time enjoying the scenery and the amenities. It's definitely going into one of my top sites to come back and visit!

Best campground I’ve ever stayed at couldn’t ask for better service and everything was just perfect. Barry and his family are just great his son n law noticed we were fishing and weren’t doin that great so he gave us some tips and also to top it off gave us his own personal lures and hooks. We ended up catching 6 Bass to end the day. I wish I could give this place 10 stars because it deserves all the compliments you could give it. Can’t wait to come back.

The place is perfect, flat sites on grass, outdoor kitchen, water toys and fishing pretty much from the tent. We got to bring less stuff because it was all provided and had an excellent time. We 100% will be back.

Excellent campsite! This has been our best Hipcamp experience so far! Barry and his family took the best care of us! He was incredibly detailed and communicative from the time of booking to checkout. The property is gorgeous and offers so much! Clean bathrooms with flushable toilets, large communal fridge and kitchen area. There’s plenty of space in between each campsite and the space is very well maintained. Loved having the river access and seclusion at the Fisherman’s Hideout site. Will definitely be visiting again!

Great place to get away from the city! The RV was clean and stocked with essentials for cooking and the shower and toilet was close by. We brought our own sleeping bags and pillows, which worked out perfectly. We booked this stay to be closer to the wineries, pumpkin patches, and u-pick farms nearby, it was such a convenient location for exploring the area. Would definitely come back again!
