We had a lovely fall weekend at Karen's ranch. It was very peaceful with sunrise over the pond, sunset over the vines. We did a little fishing, little walking on trails around the property and generally just relaxed and enjoyed the quiet. Wine tasting was great, over and above our expectations, we had a very nice evening with Karen and her ranch hands.
Plenty of space on Le Canard site, it's tucked away and mostly hidden from the house and barn. I'm sure we'll be back! Thanks for hosting us!

Karen was awesome! She could not have been a better host, gracious and kind, understanding and flexible. We loved being there and we hope to go back. We caught two fish, thinking it was the same fish. The lake is fun and scenic.

Enjoy pristine waterfront camping!
A friend and I booked this site because we wanted to fly fish. We looked at the website and texted with the hosts, and on this basis felt confident there would be sufficient water to cover for a 2 night 3 day stay. When we arrived, the pond was much smaller than photos indicated, with a minimum of access along the banks. We decided not to stay, texted and talked with the hosts, who refused to refund our money.

Enjoy pristine waterfront camping!
Karen and Claire have become like family for us. Not only do we like to camp off the beaten path, we love to spend time with quality people… so this place ticks all the boxes. The wine… is out of this world as well.
Highly recommended!

Enjoy pristine waterfront camping!
Friendliest & most accommodating hosts ever. Their lake is lovely, we got there during a heat wave so mostly we hid during the day, but at night there are silent horse visitors. How often do you get that?
We’d been camping alone for two weeks and they were our last stop…we probably commandeered way too much of their time. We had dinner with them the first night. We made lasagna and they provided wine!

Authentic Sheep Wagon on the Pond!
I wanted to go camping without having to set up a tent, or sleep on an air mattress, and this was perfect! Camping in the sheep wagon was amazing! Not only is it cute, it is spacious and comfortable. I loved waking up and walking out right next to the pond. We caught plenty of bass. It’s very quiet, relaxing, and peaceful.

Wonderful folks and beautiful vineyard to camp in. Loved meeting the horses and fishing in the lake.

The property was a gorgeous piece of land. Large enough to hike and explore. The kids loved watching the horses wander thru the vineyard. Definitely reccomend getting the canoe, to get the full experience. Fishing was awesome, and worth coming back for. Making plans to head back soon.

We had a great time at Karen and Claire’s place. We stayed in the Vineyard View site and loved having a big space to ourselves, having the bathroom a short walk away, and being next to the trails. As other reviewers have mentioned, Karen and Claire are ridiculously kind and generous hosts. They let my son help with farm chores and made our stay fun and memorable.

Karen and Claire were very sweet and welcoming. The property is beautiful with just the right amount of activities to do during the day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Piece of advice - if you’re staying near the pond, be sure to wear plenty of bug spray. The mosquitoes were out in full effect!

Enjoy pristine waterfront camping!
This was by far one if the best camping experiences we’ve had ro date. The spor was perfect for our lil’ 10 foot teardrop. Karen was gracious enough to teach us how to cast (it was our first tine fishing) - and we caught our first ever fish. We took packed in our kayak, and had a great time tooling around the pond. The gem of the whole trip was wine tasting with Karen and Claire. Their personalities are infectious, and can make anyone feel welcome and at home. We will absolutely be visiting again.

Authentic Sheep Wagon on the Pond!
Staying in a caravan has been on my list for a long time, and the Sheep wagon did not disappoint! I highly recommend this unique and beautiful listing.
Karen and Claire were amazingly generous hosts. Their property is so peaceful and scenic - from the serene duck pond to the beautiful vineyards to the immaculate barn, it was immediately clear that they put a lot of love into their property.
We stayed at the Sheep wagon which faces their serene pond, across from the main house. The pond is home to ducks, Canada geese, bass, herons, red-winged blackbirds, frogs and other wildlife. We really enjoyed drinking coffee in the morning and listening to birdsong. We also explored the ~80 acres of property hiking the well-maintained trails (also perfect for mountain bikes). The highlight of our stay was the wine tasting where Karen taught us about her wines. She is incredibly knowledgeable and we ended up buying some amazing bottles at very reasonable prices.
The Sheep wagon itself was very comfortable and provided plenty of sleeping space for two (short) adults. Temperatures dropped into the 30's on the first night we were there, but we were cozy enough in sleeping bags in the insulated wagon. Be sure to bring your own outdoor cooking setup, and be prepared to either use nature's bathroom or walk over to the barn (a 5-10min walk). There is no cell service on site so be sure to download important info ahead of time.

We had a wonderful stay! Our spot was beautiful along the bank of the pond. Hosts Karen and Claire were friendly and very hospitable. The property is beautiful and offers hiking, fishing, star gazing, bird watching, and biking. We also chose to add on the wine tasting. It was one of our favorite experiences there and worth the extra cost. Their wine is amazing, the food was delicious, and the company was wonderful! We are looking forward to going back soon. Thank you Karen and Claire!

We had a beautiful weekend of camping right beside the pond. We did not get to meet Karen or Claire, but Clint met us at the gate and gave us a warm welcome. The property is gorgeous and the kids had a great time catching and releasing wide mouth bass.

Karen and Claire’s property is beautiful. I brought my wife here for her birthday. The campsite was right on the pond and next to their grape vines. Our dogs loved swimming in the water and we took our paddle boards out as well. Karen was a wonderful host and very accommodating. We were able to taste her wines (which were amazing) in her home. We will definitely be coming back. It was truly a memorable weekend.

I hate to share this treasure but this is too good to keep to myself. Where to start. The property is truly beautiful, a vineyard on rolling hills, mature oak trees, acres of land to hike and explore, wildlife, serene seclusion, and in the middle of all of this, a beautiful pond. And all of that is a pale reflection of Karen and Claire’s graceful hospitality. Not only are they fascinating women, but strike that balance between allowing you your privacy yet always being available to help. Oh! And their wine! FABULOUS. 😋. Organic, properly aged and delicious. There is absolutely no cell service and there are no hook ups. But if you were looking for a peaceful escape into nature I can’t think of a better place.

This beautiful, 80-acre vineyard and ranch was the perfect backdrop for our camping weekend. Great swimming hole down the road. There were more wildlife sightings on site than I could count on one hand! Plus there were a flock of chickens, gorgeous black stallion and sweet mares that roam the estate.
Hosts Karen & Claire were responsive and so welcoming. They greeted us as soon as we arrived and showed us to our sheep wagon campsite, right by the waterfront. They even left the canoes out for us to explore the large pond. The sites are fairly spread apart; there was only one other site across the way, that we could see. The campground has a single shower and toilet in the barn, in the heart of the vineyard. It was about 8-minute walk from our site— keep in mind if you need to go!
Other pro-tips: don’t forget the bug spray during the summer! Barn doors and front gates are kept closed for the animals. Keep food stored away (in your car) at night to avoid any hungry critters.
Will be back to check out the other sites and try a tasting!

I was delighted to be Karen and Claire's first Hipcamper. Their property is gorgeous - a calm pond, hiking trails, and vines abound. There are a number of animals, from their show horses and chickens to families of deer, frogs, birds, squirrels, and jackrabbits. The campsites are perfectly spaced out for privacy and relaxation. But the best part is the hosts -- Karen and Claire are kind, interesting, and FUN! I can't wait to return.
