Grub CSA Farm offers a peaceful camping experience with the charm of being close to nature and a working farm. The walnut grove provides shade and the sound of wildlife adds to the tranquility, though some campers have mentioned issues like foxtail for dogs and misleading directions. While amenities are basic, with a clean porta-potty and a picnic table, the hosts are known for their friendliness and often share fresh produce. However, a few guests felt the site was overpriced for what was offered, and some noted cleanliness issues with facilities.

Though it was pretty primitive camping the sunset and sunrise was amazing. We loved the sound of foxes at night, ànd birds in the morning. It's always nice to support a working family farm and just a 5 minute drive into charming Chico

Great stay! Quiet and peaceful. Our annual trip to Chico had a little rain, but didn’t spoil our very enjoyable cycle ride around the orchards.

It’s a beautiful place and the owner, Francine, was very responsive to our questions. My only reservation about staying there is that there is so much foxtail around which was pretty bad for our dog. I highly recommend this place if you don’t have a dog.

Grub CSA Farm was a great place to stay in Chico. It was easy to get in and out of town by bike. It also felt secluded and safe. You’re still in a neighborhood, so there is farm, neighborhood noise, and wildlife noise.
The directions to the campsite were incorrect and it took us about 15 min of driving around in circles to find the Hipcamp. There’s a sign off of Dairy that indicates Hipcamp, and not off of West Sacramento like the host provided directions say.
Half of our picnic table was sitting in star thistle which was quite annoying to navigate around.
Overall, would stay here again when in Chico.
The location was very close to town and felt private and safe.

Way too expensive for what you get. It didn't look as nice as on the pictures. Instructions to the campground were confusing. We ended up in the wrong orchard. The shade of the trees was nice though. There wasn't a box of vegetables as was promised. When we complained about that, we got vegetables after all. The toilet was overtaken by big spiders, and the sink on the campground was dirty. I would never go back here.

My friends and I always love staying at grab farm. Sitting amongst the walnut trees listening to the birds is always a treat
Simple camping, but sweet camping. Very convenient…close to Chico center, but quiet and private. Clean porta-potty, sink with water, and a picnic table. Other campsite pretty close but neighbors just parked/camped on other side of a tree, which provided a screen. Owner/farmer very friendly and shared some fresh picked strawberries with us. Fell asleep to the sound of owl hoots. All around a great experience!

What a great farm just outside of town. Very quiet with an abundance of shade under the walnut trees. Camp spots are away from the home and very private. Will be booking here again as we will be back in the area for ten days. Super nice host, with clear communication!

Peaceful orchard camping near town
Very pleasant one-night stay in a walnut grove. The host came outside to help me find the location when I drove by lost the second time, and was very friendly and helpful. Sink and picnic table were nice to have. Didn't use the porta potty, but also convenient to have. Host said I may hear foxes and horned owls a night. It was pretty quiet, with only occasional distant car noises. As with many HipCamps, for a solo camper the price is a bit high, but would be a good deal with a larger group. This is a nice spot because it's a real orchard environment, but close to town. Plan to stay here again when in town for RC races at Amain Hobbies, which is only 15 minutes away.

I totally agree with a prior negative review...with minimum effort, this could be a lovely site. In addition to the points raised by Mary Ann's review, what really killed it for me was the smell of cat urine. Don't know if it was the owners' cat I saw running around, it doesn't matter. Just so sad.

Gorgeous as always!! The trees and greenery are as beautiful as any camping spot I’ve been to.
Getting to the toilet was quite a trek, and it's got a family of black widow spiders you have to share the space with. But besides that the place was good!

Such a quaint little spot. Not too far from the host home, but also far enough that you feel alone. The picnic tables and swing is a nice touch. Plenty of flat grassy space for tents and a bit of recreation. I would absolutely go again.

I've stayed here twice now. The grub farm is super quiet, spacious, and so convenient if you're visiting one of your kids at Chico State!

This site has so much potential and the hosts seem like lovely folks, but for $50, I could stay in a state park that would be so much better maintained. The fire pit here looked a hundred years old; there were the remains of fires made right on the ground that had never been cleaned up. The very useful sinks were full of mud and leaves. The folder on the table with info had been left out in the elements for who knows how long, pages were water damaged, some completely wiped out. The toilet is a port a potty on the other side of the farm.
All of that could be corrected with minimal effort - we didn't need the sink or the fire pit. The point for me was that this site wasn't "hosted". For $50 it was a spot on a dirt track. If even minimal care had been taken or some preparations made, it would have felt completely different. I don't need or want luxury but a Hipcamp spot should be more than a place to park.
The hosts did give us a wonderful box of produce and nuts that we appreciated.

Great quiet spot!! A little on the pricey side but there isn’t much choice in the Chico area.

Some pluses, some minuses…
Big rig friendly: 3 (provided you make the right choices, needs maintenance - shrubs/trees encroaching on space).
Customer service (response time, etc.): 5
Site instructions: 2 (instructions on HipCamp site stray from actual HipCamp signs); unclear where site 1 is or site 2. Unclear where to park.
Features (nice touches): 1 (LOTS of Puncturevine / goat heads on the ground/attaching to soles of shoes - painful to step on; decrepit fire pit (full of ashes, leaning over); ropes on swing seemed frayed…)
Noise: 5 (None!)
Cell reception: 5
View / aesthetics: 5 (nice sunshine over the fields, walnuts to gather/eat)
Value for money: 1 (feels expensive for what you get)
Rating: 3.375, rounding down to 3 due to value for money. If the price was 30 bucks, we wouldn’t be as critical.

Wow. I was in awe of the amount of different vegetables, fruits and trees on this farm. It was incredible to stay and be a part of it for even just a night.
The camping spaces are very flat and spacious. Justine was responsive and accommodating. I would love to stay here again!

I had an immediate need to find a place for the night and Francine responded quickly to texts. I had the area to myself. It was quiet and the night sky was amazing.
Thank you, Francine.
