Everything was perfect, from the beautiful farm, to the great communication with Gracie which was very direct, fast, and accommodating. We also booked horse ride lesson, which we truly enjoyed, cam was a great instructor. Thank you Gracie…

Great level spots with all the hookups you need and quiet too. Study the entrance on Google Maps before you go so you know what you are looking for.

We had a 50-amp site on the pasture, but it might have been the only one. Quiet ranch with horse cattle and goats. Great communication with the host. We just needed a one night stop and it for the bill.

The Long Horn cattle were very majestic animals, my boxer was obsessed with them. They were having horse riding lessons when we pulled up, another first for my dogs. We had a nice place to stay and even filled up our fresh water tank. The farm was beautiful and the sunset was amazing! I highly recommend staying here!

Perfect spot to spend the night to split up my drive north. This wasn't too far off of 95 and easy to find. It was nice and quiet at night. No other campers were there during my stay but there is plenty of room for multiple people to stay without being too close to each other.

We were able to find the campsite without much trouble (we actually used the address of the neighbor to locate the driveway more easily based on street view. We arrived and our host described where to go.
Although we had hoped to see some horses while here, there weren't any out during our stay.
I will say if many of the sites were full, I'd be concerned with turning a larger rig combo like ours to exit.
Other than that, we had a pleasant stay and would return in the future.

I loved staying here , it was so nice ! I love seeing the cattle and horses , park right at the corner and I watch the sunrise and sunset! I saw some fowls and ducks too ! And petting a little kitty on my way to the loo. The horse near the fence likes to come over and say hello ! Haha it took all of me not to pet them ! Careful on the drive into the ranch it’s very bumpy ! On my 2wd! I had my goldfish on my trip , he almost flew out ! Haha

Great experience at Gracie’s farm. The camping area next to the arena makes it easy to watch folks riding and working the horses. My daughter and I took a riding lesson in the morning that was a ton of fun; definitely recommend it if you stay. That being said it is a working farm so expect to have folks coming in and out to load/unload horses near the camping area.
