13 acres in a very secluded location away from city noise. But still just minutes from Hanford where you can find anything you need to shop for.
Great camping area on SEASONAL Kings River. No other houses in view since we are located between 20 acres of almond trees and 30 acres of walnut trees. Very safe location with security in place.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed staying at the Cottonwood cabin! It was a nice cozy space and the scenery was sooo beautiful! I got to enjoy my breakfast on a big rock by the river and it was the perfect way to start my day. The restrooms were really nice and well kept! Overall it was a super comfortable lodging experience.

It was a great experience coming here! A lot to do around and a good price for what you get. While the two story cabin was just two beds, the best part was the grounds that you get.

Mona’s place was amazing. It was so peaceful and comforting. The trailer was great and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Dale was so welcoming and was around just in case we needed anything. The kids loved the river and had a blast. I can’t wait to stay here again.

We loved our time here! The turtle flat site had plenty of flat space for our 10 person tent and was close enough to the river to hear it at night and see it by day. The beach was easily accessible and a great spot for our 3.5 yr old to play. The fully equipped kitchen made meal prep pleasant and easy. And the communal cooking and campfire was a good way to meet and talk to other guests. It was easy to walk to all the amenities and parking was relatively close to our site as well. We would come back and recommend to friends.

Lovely gem of a place! Easy to find. It was fun to stay in a BIG trailer with pullouts after spending days in a camper van! Property is fenced. Very cool little compound located right on the king river. Swimming in the river was heavenly. Communicating with Mona was great over the app. Dale met us upon arrival and was a great, kind, helpful host and fun to talk to. We were only passing through to the coast on this trip and only stayed a night. If I had my way we’d have stayed a few more days and enjoyed the river and the peace and quiet. Would be a great place for family get- togethers. I would highly recommend this place!

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents
A great little cabin experience. Everything was well organized and clean. Gary was super helpful. I loved that there were camp chairs down at the creek! I was glamping so I brought my own comforter and table cloth to cozy things up. A delightful stay! (Would be a great place for groups with campsites and cabins plus a large fire ring with seating and kitchen prep area with large refrigerator to store food.)

"We recently visited a beautiful campground, and I’d love to share our experience! If you’d like to see more, be sure to check out our YouTube channel, AMERSIAN CAMPERS, where we captured the full adventure in stunning detail.
The campground was huge, nestled in a peaceful valley covered in lush grass, right before reaching Sequoia National Park. A wild, shallow river flowed nearby, adding to the serenity of the place. It felt incredibly private and quiet, making it a perfect escape into nature.
Beyond the stunning location, the campground offered plenty of great amenities, including a well-equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms, and access to firewood for cozy campfires. It truly provided both comfort and a deep connection with the outdoors.
Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a private and relaxing getaway!"

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents
I had an excellant experience at River Ridge Ranch. Quiet and cozy. Cabins are clean and well kept. outdoor showers with hot and cold water, large outhouse style toilets, plenty of lighting. Large pavillion and fire pit for group campers. Fully stocked kitchen area, pots, pans, dishes, utinsels, propane BBQs microwave, toaster oven, fridge and a large dishwashing area behind the kitchen. Plenty of places to hike and take in mother nature. Gary has done a excellant job in making sure you have everything you need for your stay, just bring your bedding, clothes, food and personal hygiene items.

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents
I had a great stay at River Ridge Ranch. It’s a nice quiet cozy place to get away for the weekend or a week. cabins are clean and well kept. Gary has done an excellent job in making sure that everything you need is provided for you so all you have to do is show up with your bedding, food and personal hygiene items. There’s plenty of places on the property to hike and enjoy mother nature. Highly recommend River Ridge Ranch to anyone that just wants to get away, but not travel too far. There’s a large pavilion area for groups. There’s a large fire pit for groups to sit around and the kitchen area is well stocked with everything you would need for cooking, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, propane grills, microwave, toaster oven, and a large refrigerator to store all your food items. There’s even a large sink area behind the kitchen for washing your dishes. Large outhouse style toilets and outdoor showers with hot and cold water.

We loved it here! My partner, dog and I slept in the two story, which was lovely! The whole property is awesome. The kitchen area is the best I’ve ever utilized at a Hipcamp. We were just stopping by for a night on a road trip out to southern Utah from the Bay Area, but immediately started planning a big friends trip back down! It’s wonderful and we look forward to sharing it with people we love! The fall is exceptionally beautiful with the yellow leaves everywhere. Could not have asked for a better spot. And the lil heater cranks! We hung out up top before eventually opting on the bottom floor with the pup :)
