When we pulled up to the site, Kristen made sure we knew exactly where to park and gave us the layout of her land. It was nice to be able to park our camper there while we visited the nearby town.
This site was quiet and private. We felt very safe here. Kristen communicated well and we knew everything we needed to know before even showing up. We would definitely camp here again!

If you’re looking for a peaceful and untouched place to camp, the Aloha Ranch is it! Bobby was very communicative, and went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed our stay. She helped set us up at a local fishing venue with a beautiful castle and we spent two days enjoying the weather and solitude. Our campsite also had excellent stargazing! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a private getaway.

Bobbie was a great host and very responsive. She checked on us when there was a thunderstorm and recommended a cool fishing spot near by. This would be a great hip camp if there was a porta-potty or outhouse. You do have to drive across a grass field to get to the sites, but this made it very secluded and far from the house which we appreciated. There are dogs but we did not see or hear them. The horses roam the front part of the property, but not by the campsites. This did mean that upon coming and going there are two gates that need to be opened and closed which took a little extra time.

Had a great time at this site. Bobbie was very helpful and responsive to questions we had leading up to our visit. There were also some weather concerns that popped up the day-off as we were prepping to drive out to the site. Bobbie was very communicative and transparent about everything ("weather isn't great, it could be muddy, you might not have a good time, want to reschedule?" type stuff along with some photos).
The weather ended up clearing up and was ok and we still went out (in spite of the rain) and were glad we did!
There's a lovely forest clearing with a picnic table / fire pit area that was nice and secluded (although we were the only campers on the property that night). But overall loved the place, would highly recommend and will likely come back in the future

We're the sort of Hipcampers that like to engage with the host a bit. It not essential, as we're there to camp, and we know that hosts have a range of preferences themselves. But, if a host meaningfully engages with us, in any fashion, it adds to our enjoyment. Here, Bobbie certainly shared some quality time with us, and, in particular, with our 4 year old. She happily offered to pen the horses and dogs so that we could meet and feed them. She allowed us to have the same experience with her chickens. And, she shared her very exciting future plans for the land. We had already enjoyed her camping site and its seclusion, way back on the far end of her property. And, getting to know her and her animals a bit absolutely added to the trip. Thanks, Bobbie!

The campsite was perfect for us. Lots of trails to walk and it was great having a little river running right by the land.
Bobbie was great and very welcoming. We can't wait to camp there again.

We had a great overnight stay, and enjoyed the site. It was very quiet, felt very remote, despite being easy to get to and the owner is super nice. We stopped on our way out to let my youngest feed a few carrots to the horses, which she loved. We'll definitely go back, and highly recommend this spot.
