We were unable to stay at the ranch due to the weather and us not wanting our tent to be wet. We were able to pick up our farm fresh eggs and Martin was great communicating with us. We were disappointed the weather changed our plans.

Great spot and Martin and his family were very welcoming and hospitable. Our 3 year old loved visiting with the horse and donkeys and helping feed the chickens and goats everyday. ATT cell signal isn’t good in this general area and wifi from barn was tough to stay connected to while in the camper but it was also nice to disconnect for a bit.

Quick and easily accessable camping. Great for an overnight. The weather was stormy and they messaged us with all safety information well ahead of time. Would liked to have had better marking for camping spaces. We were concerned that we may not be in proper spot. This was only a minor concern and did not effect the quality of the stay.

Last Chance Camp was exactly as described! We didn't end up staying the night as we decided to just keep powering through our drive, but we did stop off to plug in, stretch our legs (and let the kids go a little crazy) and while there we looked around and spoke to Christine. She was very welcoming. The shower ran hot and the kitchen looked sufficient. Porta potty was clean even though it was towards the end of the week (though we were there "off season." Overall a great place to stay :)
