We overall enjoyed camping at this very private orchard! There was a pond right next to us! We saw lots of wild animals including a flock of quails, deer, ducks, and turkeys! The showers were extra charge but we did enjoy the warm water and nice shower after being out in the wilderness. Only complaint is that the toilet and shower room has two big windows that do not have any privacy covering so we felt exposed. Also the door to the laundry room didn’t close all the way so someone could accidentally walk in on you while you’re doing your business or showering. We just ended up changing in the shower which at least had curtains. Otherwise, nice camping spot!

This property is a hidden gem, it is so beautiful and Bobby is very welcoming. My husband and I were looking for a quick getaway for a night. Like the description says, bring you snacks. That’s exactly what we did, this spot has everything else you need. Everything from cooking on the open fire to the spa was a great experience. We will definitely be back for another glamping trip!

Weekend Trip to King Madrone

Awesome place in the heart of Apple Hill! Three ponds with plenty of fishing access (caught 11 in about an hour in the evening). It’s a pear farm with unlimited picking and a rich family history in California’s ecological transformation. WILL absolutely be returning even being from just down the hill in Sacramento. The graded area for camping isn’t huge but with just three sites it was more than private enough with fresh potable water, a huge bathroom within eyeshot and a perfect symphony of frogs and birds to fall asleep to. Only regret is staying only one night and not having enough time to explore all the massive property had to offer in just under two days. Total gem of a hipcamp, including the owners, and excited to return for even just another overnight. A stones throw from a big and little city with a lot of history. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

My Pine View lodge stay was over the top in many ways, lots of nice details to make you feel at home. There was everything needed to enjoy dinners on the deck, including a beautiful forest view along with peace and quiet. The host, Gary, kept in touch with suggestions for activities and dining out options. He was most gracious in his communications and very easy to work with on arrangements. An A+++ experience.

This campsite was awesome! I did tent camping and Bobby has several secluded campsites to choose from. The communal area is beautiful, functional, and inviting. Bobby is an involved and friendly host. There’s a large fire pit and the commercial kitchen is great. This was the easiest camping I’ve ever done and I would absolutely come back again. This area is home to many fun hikes, lakes, and near a cool state park with a cave tour.

Weekend Trip to King Madrone

Great location. Trails right on the property. Went to bed listening to frogs and woke up to blackbirds singing. My dog LOVED running around and eating blackberries. The listing says boating is possible but I didn't see any instructions so I didn't bother flipping the boat over. I also wasn't sure which spigot was potable but I brought enough water with me for the trip. Bathroom worked as expected and I used the utility sinks in the adjoining room to brush my teeth. The maps link on the hipcamp message took me to the corner of Larsen and Carson 15 mins away, instead of Fruitridge so don't use that. The instructions I got for checking in said to go to the end of the paved road to the barn and text but that must be out of date. There's a hipcamp sign with arrows on the left side across from the first house. I was directed there after wandering around looking lost near the second house. 😅

Nice spot. Definitely give the place a positive review. Very dusty but the land owner did level the spot pretty well. Host was nice and personable when he stopped by. Toilets are real, but a bit of a hike. There are wild blackberries growing all over the place- watch for the thorns. They weren’t fully ripe, but the couple we had were still tasty. So future campers can be prepared- There are a couple ponds right near the site. Flocks of geese have found them which is awesome until they take off honking their heads off at 5:30am. Those ponds are also major mosquito breeding grounds. There are fish, frogs and such in the ponds, but not enough to eat all the bugs. We ended up getting ourselves a thermacell mosquito repellent at the local hardware store. It did what it was supposed to, but it until we got that end of things taken care of, we got *lots* of bites.

We 10000% recommend staying here🤎🌲 if you’re looking for a place that feels straight out of a movie—dog friendly, peaceful, remote, and surrounded by nature singing around you. From the moment we booked, Bobby was an amazing host—warm, attentive, and super communicative. He knew we wouldn’t have signal, so he made sure to be there right on time to guide us in. When we arrived, he gave us a full tour and made it clear everything on the property was for us to enjoy. We felt welcome and at home every moment. The open-air kitchen in the forest is pure magic, and it has everything you could ever need, from pans to spices. One of our favorite moments was connecting to his Spotify and playing our music while cooking under the trees. There’s always a fire going— perfect for s’mores, deep talks and stargazing 💫 The place is incredibly dog-friendly🐶 We have two Australian Shepherds who were allowed off-leash the whole time. They had the best time! During the day, we hiked and explored. At night, we soaked in the jacuzzi right outside our room—perfect temperature, peaceful vibes. Before leaving, Bobby recommended Silver Lake to continue our adventure. And something really special—he helped me find a nature souvenir (a beautiful branch!) for my travel tradition. Truly one of our most memorable stays. We’ll be back! Thank you, Bobby.

My husband and I car camped on this property and found it to be lovely. It was a 4:00 check in which left a short amount of time to set up before dark with “winter hours”. It would have been nice to enjoy the set up and the daytime hours a bit more, but the morning sun was delightful. I would highly recommend connecting with the host for the directions to help navigate the way on the property as it was a bit more challenging to find “where” to be on the property. All was good and we appreciated the communication Ben had given. Thank you!
