Peaceful Night at 10000 Ranch
We stayed one night at 10000 Ranch in our 24-foot RV after booking very late in the evening when we could not secure a campsite near Big Sur. I am thankful that Edward accepted our last-minute reservation and communicated clearly. His PDF guide was helpful, although the directions and site markings could be improved, especially for guests arriving after dark.
The roads inside the ranch were narrow and unpaved, with a few low tree branches that brushed against the RV. The site itself was level, spacious, and peaceful, but it required backing in. Finding the exact parking spot and the bathroom keypad in the dark was difficult. A brighter sign or clearly marked keypad would make arrival much easier.
There were no RV hookups, which was clearly mentioned in the listing and was as expected. The garage bathroom had electricity, but there were several insects inside. Wi-Fi was available but spotty, although mobile data worked well.
The best part of the stay was how quiet and serene the location was. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise with horses in the background, and there was no noticeable noise at night. The dirt road was solid to drive on, though it created some dust.
At around $60 for the night, I felt the stay was worth it. With better nighttime markings, stronger Wi-Fi, and improved bathroom cleanliness, this could be a top-notch overnight RV stop. Overall, a peaceful and valuable stay. 4/5.
