Freedom Ranch
Perfect Ranch/Farm location near Arroyo Grande and Pismo Beach. The camping location at the top of a hill overlooking the area has some relaxing views. Looking forward to returning in the future!

Beautiful and serene. Only about 20 minutes from town but absolutely a world away. Stunning view. Peaceful. Great hosts. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Very basic site with beautiful views. Picnic table was convenient but would have loved to have had a potable water source too.

Originally we planned on camping on the beach however we ended up here and we both agreed that we were happy our reservation fell through because we enjoyed being here so much more! Absolutely amazing view and the peace and quiet was awesome! The drive up was so beautiful my wife ended up crying because she was so happy!! Thank you for letting us stay on your land!
Our pups also met cows for the first time haha!

Beautiful far reaching views. Quiet. Alone. Helpful, courteous and welcoming host. Interesting surroundings - would like to know how and the motivations of people living there. Twenty miles of twisting roads seems to keep the rif-raf away. Not a bad idea.

If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful place to stay the night then you have found it. The drive out to Sienna’s place is gorgeous. I haven’t seen stars like that in California in 40 years. The wildlife surrounding the property was so cool. Deer, turkey, roosters, etc. It was so quiet at night. Latest I have slept in for years. And in addition, Sienna and Chuck even put a little gas in my rig just in case I needed it to get back into town. An amazing experience! Thank you and I will be back!

It’s further off the main highway than others but completely worth it. So peaceful and beautifulz very private and easy to navigate.
Older reviews complained about the steep driveway but we had zero issues with our tiny campervan that has two wheel drive. Seems like they’ve been updating the space!
I’d definitely come back. Best sleep we got on this road trip.

Freedom Ranch
If you want a scenic place to park for the night and your trailer/rv door opens to the driver side, this site might be perfect. The site was awkwardly situated for our trailer. We wanted our front door to face the view, we eventually figured out that the only option was to back up a pretty steep hill. It was impossible to enter the site from the opposite direction, because the dirt was too soft. I think a 4 wheel drive with a little more power could have done it, but we couldn’t, so backing up was our only option.
When we Hipcamp, we like to be able to stroll the property, but there was no where to go. The spot is near a barb wire fence and the host’s house is fairly close, closer than it seems in the pictures. The pictures are accurate, but it wasn’t exactly what we were hoping for, though it was a pleasant place to spend an evening.
A fun surprise was a visit from some cows. They were were on the other side fence, but when they migrate for water they got close enough to touch. No, we didn’t actually touch them, but it was fun. Also, this is a beautiful spot for stargazing without a telescope. (There are probably too many lights in the distance for a telescope.) We were able to see the milkyway.

It's a great spot with beautiful views, fully immersed in nature. Very quiet and secluded but you can easily reach the town or Pismo in only few minutes. We truly enjoyed this spot! Being elevated, even in hotter days there's always breeze that helps keep things cool. Sienna and her husband are great, checked in from time to time to see if we needed anything, very respectful of our our privacy. Loved it!

We stayed in our campervan for one night, arrived late and left early, but it was BEAUTIFUL and well kept! Stargazing was incredible and morning views were beautiful too. I’d stay again. Note it is a very slow, winding road out there. Beautiful road.

My husband and I had a delightful experience staying here. We booked last minute through the app, and Sienna promptly provided us with directions and details. The communication was excellent! Without her help, we might have gotten lost. I highly recommend staying at this place.
We woke up to the sight of cows was incredibly charming! Oh, and they even gave us some ground beef, which made us very happy.

The drive to Freedom Ranch was lovely.
The camp site was quiet and on a hill with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. We parked on the grass which was level. Great spot for a sunset viewing.

Booked this spot late in the afternoon, Sienna was super understanding with the late notice. The spot is absolutely gorgeous and the drive up was amazing.
The driveway is a bit steep, vans/cars/trucks (without trailers) are perfectly okay with going up it. Anything with a trailer might be a bit tough.
The camp spot was awesome, looks right over a valley. Fairly level… you won’t slide off the bed that’s for sure.
10/10 would recommend.
Bonus: heard a pack of wolves (maybe just dogs too) howling throughout the whole valley. It was amazing.

Beautiful ranch, super steep hill
28 ft travel trailer · With pets ·
Freedom Ranch
The property is stunning. 360 degree views. We woke up to heavy mist in the mornings and enjoyed gorgeous sunsets at night. Sienna and her partner were super accommodating (over text, we actually didn’t meet them in person).
One thing to watch out for — and maybe something to consider including in the listing — is that the hill to get from the entrance of the property up to the site is incredibly steep. Like 45 degrees. We actually backed up, threw it in park and switched to 4WD just to feel safe.
Otherwise a 10/10! The whole area is just fun to drive through.

We really enjoyed the peacefulness of the Huasna Valley. Sienna's property was so quiet and has such amazing views! Sienna met us when we arrived and was very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this site.

Beautiful spot in a quiet location. Further outside town than originally thought but the drive was lovely. Wonderful spot to watch sunset and sunrise. Hosts are friendly.

We loved the views that made waking up each morning peaceful and tranquil. Sienna was a great host who gave us excellent instructions and was attentive to anything we needed. We did find we have phone reception at the top of the hill which was convenient. The spot was really quite flat as well so it made for an easy place to set up camp. Definitely would return!

Very beautiful place, right on the hill with a good view, where you can get the internet. Host may sell you eggs and beef! We bought a 2lbs bag of ground beef, and we cooked an amazing pasta with it! Definitely recommend.

Freedom Ranch
Amazingly beautiful location. The pictures really do not do it justice. You are high on a small plateau overlooking the rolling hills surrounding you. Cows grazing nearby, deer, bunnies, birds, horses. The sounds, the sunsets, the views....it is spectacular. For these reasons, I would recommend.
A few things to just be mindful of from the perspective of a 29 ft. travel trailer. For small trailers or a van, this might not be as big of a deal:
The property is about a 25-30 minute drive to the main town area through windy rural roads. Beautiful, but for us a deterrent to having dinner in town.
We have Verizon and had service once at the property.
The driveway up to the property is incredibly steep. Make sure your tow vehicle has enough power to get you and your rig up the hill and don't forget you have to get down again.
The actual spot is decently level, but once you come up the driveway, getting to the site is steep and bumpy.
Leaving can be difficult. For a smaller rig, you could probably use a path/turn connected to the main driveway to exit. For a larger rig like ours, it was too tight of a turn, so we were forced to turn around on the steep uneven incline of the hill below the site. Almost like we were off-roading with our trailer. You need to know your trailer and tow vehicle well (luckily we do), otherwise, it looked like a tipping hazard to us.....

The view was amazing-literally on the top of a ridge. The cows, and pig were fun for my kids to see. I was happy to find Sienna had naturally raised beef & pork products for sale as well as delicious garden zucchini too!
A very peaceful spot.

Sienna’s place is beautiful. Up on a hill with views in all directions. Fresh eggs in the morning. Great spot.
A few tips. Service cuts out on Huasna, so make sure you know the directions heading in. Out GPS went out a couple times, but we were comfortable with the mileage. Verizon service is spotty at the base of the property hill. AT&T worked fine and both were good at the site. Hill is steep, so make sure your tow vehicle isn’t maxed out for your rig.

Not quite on top of the world… but close. Freedom Ranch has two hilltop perches with a 360 degree view of the Huasna Valley, 15 or so miles east and south of Arroyo Grande. Serenity and views are the offerings of Sienna, together with a dozen farm-fresh eggs. She and Chuck were gracious, friendly, and non-intrusive. Nice place to clear the head.

Thanks to Chuck and Sienna for sharing their property. The quiet and views were very nice. I especially enjoyed watching the sun rise over the mountains and the deer graze in the pasture below.

Very special location with magnificent views. Sienna is a great host, who is on property at a distance that allows for lots of privacy. Highly recommended.
Campsite is flat and on top of a ridge. Easy to park our 20ft trailer. HipCampers must be self-contained. No campfires.
This is a great birding location: 20+ species identified on the property at the campsite. More species identified along the meandering roads in the area.
