Our family had such a great time on the river. Even though we got some rain everyday we put our paddle boards in the water from the dock and played. The river is super peaceful and you get to see and hear lots of birds. We lucked out and had the whole place to ourselves even. Really nice to have the provided Adirondack chairs for around the campfire and watching the river too. Hosts were always very quick to respond and helpful. Road and property clean, well maintained and so was the port-o-potty on site. We even visited their horses to say hello for change of scene one afternoon. Mostly though we relaxed in the camp area and enjoyed the river. Will return for sure.

The campsite was well kept and had all the essentials ready for us, which made our trip so much easier. You can really see the care and effort Max puts into making guests feel welcome. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free camping experience!

Our family had an absolute blast while camping here! Erik and Michelle are super organized, very responsive and overall just wonderful hosts!
The UK RANCH is close to town, yet gives off the peaceful and relaxing vibe being nestled right along the water with privacy between each site. We paddle boarded and fished too.
Firewood was available for purchase when we booked so the bundles were there waiting for us by the pit upon arrival.
Can’t forget to mention the cute mason jar of flowers Michelle left on our picnic table as a warm welcome!!

When you first pull into the ranch there is a huge barn with stalls for horses. We made some equine friends. The camps are down a rough road to the right- our little Mazda made it, but go slow. Each of the 5 lovely spots are directly next to the river. I love that they are spaced far enough apart that you feel like you have space. There is a privacy hedge between them all. I stayed at 5, but they all looked great. 3 and 4 were a bit smaller but still completely doable for a couple tents. 1 & 2 were rented out to a large family gathering and they were having a blast on the rope swing over there. Those spots are perfect for a group. There is a nice community spot in the middle with little kiddos life jackets and some paddles for the couple of community kayaks. I took a jaunt down the river one afternoon and saw some beautiful cranes. Fresh flowers on the table, and little stack of wood greeted us. It was really peaceful to watch the wildlife and listen to the frogs and owls at night. It felt safe and wholesome. Nobody ever came to check in on us, which was kind of nice, everybody just minding their own. It is a working family owned ranch and they were busy with bringing in the hay which we got to see. I wish I’d have gone on a horse ride, but maybe next time. I would definitely go again.

This campsite was absolutely lovely, it had everything you could need for a good place to land for the night (or more). My dogs absolutely loved having a safe space to stretch their legs while we made our trek to and from WA. Thank you Max for being so accommodating.

So glad Erik and Michelle have chosen to share this very special place. We reserved all 5 sites for a group camping trip with 10 families. It was perfect and they were super accommodating. I loved all of the little touches, like the flowers on the tables. Site 5 was the largest and where most of the families camped. We used 1 and 2 for our group kitchen and hangout area. Site 5 does have a rope descent to the river, but there was a tree down in the river right there and it wasn't the best access to the water. It's just a few steps to the community site and dock for the best access.

So great. Reserved all 5 sites for a group trip. I didn't stay in 4, but it seemed nice - all of the sites are unique and lovely. The river is perfect for swimming, paddling and floating. The hosts were friendly, responsive and hands-off - we met Michelle when we arrived and then did not hear from them the rest of the weekend.

Love this place. We rented all 5 sites for a group trip with 10 families and it was perfect. Site 3 was the smallest site, but the closest to the river access via the community site and dock. The hosts are super responsive and helpful. The river is gorgeous and great for swimming, kayaking, SUPing or just lazing in a tube. There is very little current.

Such a wonderful spot and the hosts were super accommodating and friendly. We rented all 5 sites for a group trip with 10 families. It was perfect. The kids loved the rope swing and the river was perfect for floating and cooling off. It's was over 100 degrees the weekend we were there and there was plenty of shade to keep cool - having the river right there was a big help too.

The campsite was spacious, giving our kids plenty of room to spread out and play. The river view was beautiful, and we were lucky to have much of the campground to ourselves for the 6 days we were there. Michelle was warm, friendly, and easy to communicate with.

We had a great stay at Vantopia! Max was very responsive, answered all our questions, and made sure our stay went well. The location was perfect for our adventures. You’ll get a small amount of road noise, but it didn’t bother us at all. The shower was really nice after a long day. We didn’t use the toilet as we had one in our camper. Everything was very clean and tidy, tree cover was nice for the hotter days. Overall we recommend the spot and are hoping to come back!
