The L3 Ranch was founded in 1974 when my grandfather bought the property for his show cows. In 1978, someone gave him a racehorse to pay off a debt. From then on, the property was known for its Quarter horse race horses, with some of the best in the state being born right here. In 2013 he found our he had cancer and handed the ranch down to me, Travis. While he survived the cancer, he's happy in retirement playing cards with his buddies every week and hanging out with his dog.Now the ranch is known for its horse boarding, cattle, and goats. We even hold weddings and events at the lake sometime. My main goal is to bring the ranch in a more in line with sustainable ranching. Its a process, but I love what I am doing, and where the ranch is going.

The site was really clean and well kept, easy to back into, and the power and water were in good working order. It was a quiet area with nice big trees and some shade, which was exactly what I needed. Brian, the host, brought us some cow treats to feed to the adorable cows, which we thought was a nice touch. Would 100% recommend.

The area is remote ranch land and I recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle with good ground clearance. It is surrounded by cattle and horse ranches.
Being so remote the stars are amazing and there is wildlife (deer, rabbits, coyote, cows, hawks) to see. (And we heard a cougar so I recommend being armed)
The night sky is amazing with very little light pollution.
There are no clearly defined camp spots, just some chairs under a tree and none of the ground is level. There is cow manure everywhere so... thankfully we didnt sleep on the ground.
If you dont mind the hour drive from Pinnacles national park then its a great spot to be alone.

The place was great. We were there on a memorial day weekend so it was packed! All the other campers were polite, and the owner John, was great. He was a great host and he stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. The accommodations were a bit rustic, but we had every thing we needed. We did RV camping, and although there aren’t very many RV spots, we were quite comfortable. The RV camping there is what you’d call Boondocking. So there are no service. However, there is access to water, porta potty and showers on the property that are quite comfortable. Our friends did the tent camping that include well stocked campground and tent. They felt like they didn’t need to bring anything, but Food clothes and toiletries. It was a good deal! There’s a well stock shopping center with high-quality foods within 10 minutes. And a few restaurants that make it really easy to pack light!

So peaceful! I'd love to see it in spring when the almonds are blooming. All I could hear was cows mooing in the distance and one coyote howl. It was a great stopover for a couple nights. To find it, you turn right onto a small gravel drive off of Crocker. If you get to W. Undine you've gone too far. The pad is covered in largish chunks of recycled concrete. My car and little camper handled it fine, though. There is water, 30A & 50A power and sewer. Bring drinking water, because even with an inline filter the water came out rusty. If you get a chance, stop by the office and pick up some raw walnuts and excellent biscotti.
