Oak Savannah
Not for us. We had to leave due to the farm dogs presence. We have to keep our 1.5 year old pup on a leash out of respect for the property, we wouldn’t went him running in the cow area unexpectedly. You can’t introduce a leashed dog and two unleashed dogs. The farm dogs camp out in your camp.
The lake is nice but you need chairs to sit. Lots of plants and tall grass.
Narrow winding road to the property. Bring all water and supplies.

Oak Bottom
The painted animals on the trash cans are super cute. Host checked in via text, he was away while we were there. It was fine because I go camping to hermit. We booked this campsite to try out backpacking gear we borrowed from our friends. This was a nice base and there's lots of good trails nearby. I now know I don't like backpacking .
I really enjoyed this campsite, it was very private feeling and well cared for. I'm looking forward to coming back with our regular set up.

This was my first solo camping trip and first camping in Cali (I grew up camping a lot in Washington with family but it’s been years) so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. It absolutely POURED rain while I was there, I thought I had a flat, and I wasn’t fully prepared for the rain or food so I was STRESSED. But let me tell you - it was one of the best trips I’ve had. The pictures don’t do justice. It was so stunning there and is an absolute gem of a site. I was kept company by so many creatures - dogs and cats and horses and chickens and goats and cow were absolutely treasures. The dogs cats and horses are so friendly and felt like forest guardians walking us to the bathroom, watching over us at night and taking afternoon naps with us intermittently. They didn’t say they were an animal haven but it felt like a paradise. The pair of horses roaming and eating were so dreamy and moving to see. Other campers were so nice and we had so much space that it felt really perfect for peace and optional interaction. I came to reconnect with myself and my dog and nature and figure out some hard life questions and it was just beyond perfect. I read and breathed and just existed - and it felt more okay to be that way, and just pace to the sun and basic needs than I’ve felt in years. The wind and sunshine and meadows were an absolute dream, (it smelled green and whole) and I’m already missing being there. They were also responsive to needs!

My family of 3 loved our weekend getaway at Ascension Ranch! The host was very flexible with our late arrival and provided prompt directions on how to get to our camp in the dark. We were greeted by the two very friendly dogs mentioned in other reviews who our son loved interacting with. On our first morning, we woke up to the pack of local turkeys grazing in the meadow, and shortly after were visited by the two horses on the property. Our son loved feeding them carrots which was a first time experience. The nearby walking trail that wraps around the lake is quite long and would be perfect for an easy hike or a MTB ride. The meadow site was expansive and could easy accommodate larger vehicles and larger groups. We visited in late March and had beautiful green grass and plenty of wildflowers. We will definitely return.

Hidden Oaks
We stayed at the Hidden Oak spot with our 20ft trailer and a few tents. As we rolled in we could see the other campsites but once we were at our site we felt secluded which is the best perk to HipCamps of you ask us. Access to the lake, room to roam, seclusion, greenery, friendly dogs, beautiful horses, and ease. This place is great. We had several 18-19 yrs olds with us who loved it. The trip was for our daughter’s 18th birthday.The host were helpful when we had questions , a breeze to book with. With this place being so close to home we will definitely be back.
