This was a little slice of heaven in Patagonia. I've never stayed at a hipcamp this charming and perfect. From the outdoor shower (heaven after a long day of riding) to the quiet, to the laundry facilities, I can't think of how Melanie (and Joanie) could have made this haven any better. 20/10. We're already planning a trip back in the spring!

This campsite was lovely. Very small and nice shade and great location. The bathroom and outdoor shower was lovely!! The only drawback was the noise. I was in a tent, which probably allowed me to hear everything. If you are in an RV I'm sure it would be better. Dogs barking all the time and some road noise. Worst part was someone in the camp in a random huge black tent (not in a site but right by the bathroom) was playing strange audio books loudly all night - like 11, 2, 3 4 am. And the constant marajuna smell from their tent was unpleasant. I was supposed to stay 2 nights but couldn't bear the thought of having to listen to their audio book about America's Empire all night, so I left early. I'm sure it was just some strange visitor, but that should not be allowed.

Campground was clean and tidy. Checking was easy as I did it online. It was a return visit and I really enjoyed sitting up on the elevated deck. I WILL be back!

This is a quiet place surrounded by tall trees filled with birdsong. This great location features a wonderful outdoor shower and clean restroom. It was a great place to stay and stage for our gravel bike adventure.

Always a great peaceful place to stay. Plenty of tall trees provide shade and makes you feel you are miles from nowhere, yet you are only a couple blocks to the Main Street.

Such an amazing place, we loved our stay. Shade over the RV, wonderful outdoor shower, walking distance to Paton's center for hummingbirds, as well as all the shops and restaurants Patagonia has to offer. The other cabins/trailers are brightly painted greens, oranges and blues, and the whole place just has the cutest, most charming, and relaxing vibe you can imagine. 12 out of 10 stars. Friendly, responsive and flexible.
Previously we stayed in the Retro, and loved it, but this time we had our own trailer. We stayed at Patagonia lake for a few days first, but if I had to do it over again I would have spent the whole time at the Sanctuary.

Oh my goodness! Where to start with this incredible campground? Our favorite Hipcamp stop ever! Nice big sites, free laundry facilities, outdoor shower, free bikes and kayaks, and a spiral staircase leading to a rooftop deck with nice views! Quiet and so close to town and an outstanding bird sanctuary. Within walking distance! We will FOR SURE be back again! Thank you!

Well described property. Easy access for an RV. Well maintained and great space to have as a home base while in Paragonia. It's very close, walking distance to town and most importantly Patton's Audubon birding center.

This was our second time staying in Anna. The facility is very clean and organized. The shower and bathroom has soap and shampoo, a nice touch. We enjoy the very many vultures circling to land and spend the night together in one tree. This location is within walkable distance to everything in town. This year we brought another couple to share this quiet gem.
We hope to visit every spring.

Great communication from the host-she answered my inquiry promptly and was so welcoming. The camp was spotlessly clean with modern hookups. The location was perfect for us bird nerds! Right in town within walking distance of the park, restaurants, shops, and the Paton Hummingbird Center. Great birding all around us! Thank you Melanie! We would definitely stay there again or recommend to others.

The Sanctuary was a perfect place to park for our visit to Patagonia. It is conveniently located for walking to Main Street and hiking paths. The accommodations make your stay easy and comfortable. So happy we found for future visits to Patagonia!

I adore this little gem in Patagonia. Cute, clean and convenient! Has my favorite outdoor shower as a bonus. Walkable to all that Patagonia has to offer from birds to brews.

My wife and I camped in March and could not have had a better experience. The camp sites are in a gravel yard and has all the amenities you could want. Joni, the camp host, was extremely friendly and welcoming. The campground itself is located in a little neighborhood in Patagonia and is walking distance to the town. It is also walking distance to the Paton Hummingbird center and biking distance to The Nature Conservancy and several trails. We absolutely recommend this host and we will be back!

Very cute small RV camp site. Host is on site and super helpful. Easy in and out. Sites have full 50 amp electric, water, and sewer hook ups. Lots to do in the area. Down the street at humming bird sanctuary. Well known biking area. Would definitely stay there again.
