So much to explore. In fact it was so beautiful, I changed my plans to stay an extra day.

As with much of the Big Sur coastline, the fog/landscape combos here can be pretty epic.

Cooking up some chicken sausage over a nice campfire at Arroyo Seco campground. 

Breaking in the new tent at the Arroyo Seco campground. I stayed at site 32 which is located between the camp hosts and campground showers/bathrooms. Not a bad place to stay if you have a small bladder during the night. 

Stoked to see Arroyo Seco gorge flowing after a much needed wet winter!

The "horse bridge" is where the main trail ends and the rest of the wilderness begins.

A small family owned vineyard in the heart of Paso Robles wine country.

Bring your trailer, RV or tent to our 7.5 acre Vineyard. You will be able to camp right in the center of our vineyard next to our 1/2 acre foot ornamental pond. Our site is located just 12 miles from downtown Paso Robles and offers you a unique and private camping experience that we know you'll enjoy.

We offer only 1 campsite, so you will have privacy.

Amenities include: toilet, potable water, trash disposal, picnic table, area for a campfire (outside of a burn ban). We are also pet friendly!

Guests love staying here: "Wonderful stay! It was very private as we were the only ones on the site, no other campers, vehicles or other people were in our area at all the entire time. It really felt that we had space to settle and enjoy. The two dogs that live on site were a wonderful greeting and farewell crew! The portable toilet was clean and conveniently located on the site. Lots of vineyards to go wine tasting to that were a short drive away. Brought some twinkle lights with us that we put up to add more lighting and a special feel."

Cooking equipment

Tent area beautifully prepared by our warm and kind host, Kenney.

The Rock Loft

This house is now 1 of 2 vacation rentals on the property. You will definitely notice the home's unique architecture as soon as you walk in. You will not find another home like this nor the massive 50 ft+ rock wall that provides cover to back side of the house.In 2016, after more than 50+ years operating as a working cattle ranch (Brookins Ranch) and a viewing attraction for Adelaida Wine Trail travelers, the property was unfortunately shut down and put up for sale.As a born and raised local, I had to purchase the property with the hopes of restoring it to its greatest and to allow others to enjoy what it has to offer. Since March 2017, my family and I have been working hard on the restoration - attempting to keep a lot of it's uniqueness while integrating modern technologies that will help expand the property's life. As such, we welcome you to come enjoy the experience as we continue to bring this property back to life!
