Best time camping with the animals!
We had an amazing time at Ruth’s farm! Ruth was extremely friendly and accommodating- the sweetest! She offered us fresh eggs and herbs when we arrived. We enjoyed waking up next to the alpacas and walking around the farm saying hello to her dogs, pigs, goats, donkey, horse, chickens, rabbits, ducks, and peacock! The sunrise and sunset were so beautiful too :) We can’t wait to visit again!

Camp with Critters
Wonderful Place in the Foothills
What a great time. Our 10 year old son asked when are we coming back after only being there a few hours.
So much to love. Lots of goat to play with, sitting around and watching the alpacas. Pigs, dogs, cats and more.
Just after sunrise a flock of wild turkeys came walking by our camper. More than a dozen.
We enjoyed hanging out with Ruth watching her feed all the animals and listening talk about how she cares for all her rescued friends.
Not only did we have a great time, our dog Mercy loved hanging with all her new friends and following all the other dogs around Ruth’s property.
While there Ruth provide us with electric and water and lots of kindness. Always asking if there was anything we needed.
Waking up early and watching the sun rise over the distant mountains, getting up close with a animal tour with Ruth, and just being at a wonderful place. What a Great Time….

Excellent Farm for animal lovers
Ruth has an absolutely lovely farm and all her animals are so happy. She takes very good care of them and this was a wonderful place to stay. We got to interact with so many different types of animals and Ruth was extremely accommodating. Highlight of our trip to California was staying here!

Cute animals, nice views, kind host
What a wonderful and unique camping experience! I found Ruth’s sanctuary while searching for campsites near Yosemite, and staying here not only provided that, but also gave our Yosemite adventure an entirely unexpected and wonderful element. From the incredibly friendly dogs, cats and goats to the adorable rabbits, alpacas, donkey, chickens, and ducks, to the majestic peacocks, the animals are amazing. However, the friendly pigs, (Paprika!) who followed us around asking for pets and practically purring whenever we rubbed their big bellies, were our favorites.
Staying here was like stepping into a kindergarten picture book about animals on a farm, where everyone is friendly and gets along.
Ruth went above and beyond to make us comfortable and happy, and was a pleasure to be around.
I will 100% recommend Camping with Critters to all my friends.

The best time camping with animals!
Ruth was the absolute best!! This was our first time using Hipcamp and I don’t think we could have had a better experience. Ruth opened her beautiful and lush property to us to call home with our tent for three amazing days. We were in the area to visit Yosemite. It’s an easy and stunning drive to the Yosemite National Park entrance from Ruth’s. The town down the road, Mariposa, has delicious restaurants and all the supplies you could need that you may have forgotten. Although we were in the area for Yosemite, it was truly hard to want to depart from Ruth’s place. Ruth and all the animals welcomed us with open arms, paws and hooves. It was a one of a kind stay getting to interact and bond with all of the animal residents. Ruth is a phenomenal host that goes above and beyond in communicating and the enjoyment of her guests’ stay. Thank you Ruth, Milkshake, Gloria, Bella, Monkey, Ricardo, Bob, Mochi, Mocha, Beetle, Cricket, Lightning, Parsnip, Turnip, Mag, Clementine, Mr McGreggor, Strider, Toasty, Tea, Jelly Bean, and the others! We can’t wait to be back!
