Quiet spot and Edward was a very responsive host. It's also nice to be a short drive from everything in Gilroy.

We've camped at Cole Ranch twice now and had a great time both times. Barry is a great host. I love the amenities there.

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.

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.

This place is beautiful and incredibly well maintained. So many nice extras around the camp. Barry and his wife are friendly and welcoming. I wish we'd booked a longer stay.

It’s a nice, clean and spacious place to camp. The host is also very responsive, welcoming and accommodating. He even offered his RV if needed during our camp. There is also a storage where you get some chairs, table and game stuff that you can use. A great place to stay for those new campers- with toilet, shower. It’s safe as it’s close to the host’s house.

Great to be out under the stars in Edward’s field. Lots of animals to peek your curiosity when you wake up. Had a decent shower and bathroom yet we didn’t use the shower. Would stay there again.

While striking out on state and national campgrounds for a short overnight, Edward’s spot appeared on Hipcamp, which I’d never used before this. It was a basic good spot, not far off the freeway, but still charming with the noise and smells of nearby chickens, squirrels, goats, etc. It felt tucked away. Our random camp mates were wonderful, which was a big plus!

I loved setting up my tent beneath the tree—it offered plenty of shade and kept me cool despite the 80-degree weather. Edward was incredibly accommodating and helpful, which I especially appreciated since it was my first time camping on my own. Having the bathroom and shower nearby made the experience even more comfortable.
If I return, I’ll definitely bring a large tarp to place under my tent so my dog can relax outside without collecting so much dry grass in his fur. Overall, it was the perfect spot for a short weekend getaway and exactly what I needed.

Great spot to relax and take in the scenery. The campsite was under a nice big tree (walnut tree - I think) and campsite was flat, trimmed, and cleared - great for tent camping!
Although the weather was hot during the weekend I was there, there is a breeze that comes from the west in the afternoon. The location is also about 10-15 minutes from hikes and stores. It's great for those who want a quiet area, yet close enough to amenities.
I was greeted by Edward who was welcoming and asked for if I need anything. Also saw him paragliding in the morning past the campground! He's super cool and a nice guy!
This is definitely an amazing place for a getaway from the fast city vibes.

Views at the campsite were beautiful. Edward was a great host and made it super easy to find where to go. The bathroom was clean and well-kept, and being so close to downtown Gilroy and the wineries made for an all-around great trip.
