We all had so much fun camping next to the horses! Justin and Christina made a wonderful weekend for us with our two young kids. They enjoyed the pony rides and the trampoline over a sprinkler (it was hot for us Bay Area people), along with being around the horses, dogs, chickens, and frogs! We’d definitely return, and are already planning to visit our new horse (and people) friends at the renaissance fair!

Another wonderful weekend on the ranch. My wife and son opted for an evening horseback ride and watched the sunset while out on the ride. This gave me time to play on the swings with Logan Hirst. A perfect break after the drive and setting up camp. Justin and Christina are wonderful hosts. The whole family really makes you feel at home.

We had a much-needed peaceful stay at the Hirst Ranch. Can't thank this family enough for their hospitality and genuine kindness. Everyone made us feel welcomed and appreciated for visiting their beautiful home. We only wish we stayed longer but more the reason to come back soon. Thank you Hirst Family for all of the memories! And a big thank you to Logan for the cool hat!

We absolutely love coming to visit this delightful horse farm. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming. We come with our 3 kids and they just love the swings, the horses and the trampoline. We also got a horseback riding lesson and the host/instructor is just magical with both the kids and the horses.

My family and I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Hirst Horse Ranch, and we were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional hospitality and expertise provided by Justin and Christina. Unfortunately, our stay was all too brief, and we would have loved to have spent another night under their care.
From the moment we arrived, we were treated to an unforgettable experience, thanks in large part to Christina's remarkable approach to horse psychology. Her kind, compassionate demeanor put everyone at ease, and her ability to connect with both the horses and our family was truly remarkable. As someone with a deep understanding of the parallels between teaching horses and humans, Christina's insight and expertise were a revelation. We were struck by the realization that the skills and patience required to teach horses are remarkably similar to those needed to communicate effectively with people.
Following our horse-handling session, our daughter had the opportunity to learn from Justin, whose exceptional teaching skills were evident from the start. As a seasoned educator, Justin's calm and attentive approach made our daughter feel completely at ease, and she was thrilled to have created her own artwork by welding old horseshoes.
Overall, our time at the Hirst Horse Ranch was a heartwarming and enriching experience that has left us with lifelong memories. We are eager to return and continue exploring the many opportunities this amazing ranch has to offer.
Thank you!

Hirst Ranch does not disappoint! We had wonderful stay and took advantage of the extras and spent some time in the shop with Justin welding up our sons name out of horse shoes. Despite the reported hot weather in the area, the farm had a nice breeze in the evening and was pleasant.

I express my deepest appreciation for the time and effort Justin and Christina dedicated to make our camp fun. I was there with my girl scouts troop and took horse riding lesson as well. I felt at home as the host was not restricting us to move around freely. Kids could swing, jump on the trampoline or just simply take a walk to watch the beautiful ranch.
We hope we treated the place with respect.

This is our second visit to the Hirst Horse Ranch and we are already planning to come back. On our last visit our son did a horse riding lesson, this time he forged with Justin. Nice location. Nice camp site. Awesome family.

A glowing review for a great tent camping experience. From the moment we arrived Justin, his family, and their animals welcomed us. We travelled with other families and used site 1 as the base for cooking, eating, and camp fire. The site is big enough for a 6 person tent, 4 tables, and +10 chairs. There is firewood available for camp fires and a clean bathroom with flush. The farm has so many areas to explore.
The kids built many memories playing and said it was magical. Do not miss out on horseback riding with Christina. Only wish we lived closer to be trained by her! We brought dogs and they enjoyed it. Note there are dogs and cats that live on the farm so make sure your dog gets on with other animals. Be mindful of your pet when on the farm. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Justin and his family were great hosts. There were a lot of activities for the kids to play and we enjoyed the seeing the horses, chicken, dogs and cats on the property. Justin was proactive and informed me of their family gathering ahead of our stay. I highly recommend this camp site. We loved it so much that we booked another trip for the summer.

One of the best Hipcamp experience. We packed so much in a weekend getaway. Horse riding lessons at night, tractor initiation for kids and a great camping spot in the orchard!
The hosts are extremely friendly and flexible. Highly recommend.

The hosts were super accommodating! My 5 year old son had a great time doing a pony ride. This was my first trip in this rig. We arrived late and needed a jump but Justin and his family were super kind.
Highly recommended!

What a wonderful family oriented experience for my daughter and I. Justin and family couldn’t have been more kind and accommodating. My daughter was able to do a pony ride, help look for eggs and wander around the farm with other kids. We’ll certainly be back.

Not sure where to start but I will say that my 3.5yo was devastated to have to leave at the end of the trip, lots of tears having to return home to the real world. Justin and Christina were truly the best hosts, they were so welcoming and didn't seem to be bothered when I would talk their ears off. They treated my daughter like one of their own kids, she got to help with chores of milking the cow, feeding the chickens, gathering eggs, feeding the horses, grooming the horses, etc. She loved playing on the swings and in the tree house. We all got to ride the horses and Christina was amazing at training us, well beyond the basic "pony ride" she really teaches connection with the horses and her horses are so amazing they didn't get spooked or annoyed when my young daughter made loud noises or ran around them. My husband got to weld a cool horseshoe design for my daughter's room so we have a nice keepsake of the weekend. The 2 farm dogs and 3 barn cats were super friendly and enjoyed all the love we gave them. The RV parking site is very convenient and Justin was able to help us with both parking our trailer and with pulling it out when we left since we are new to RVing. The farm next to the parking site has goats and geese so that was fun to see also. Since there is no sewer dump it was fantastic that they have a studio apartment where we could shower and use the bathroom. Easily one of our best vacations with our daughter, we can't wait to return. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

First and foremost, The entire Hirst family was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived they were super helpful in helping us maneuver and back in our massive 5th wheel. Their daughter showed our kids around the entire property with all the animals and fruits and veggies. They were friendly, generous, accommodating. It was really a joy for our family to spend time with theirs. We were so sad to leave and absolutely cannot wait to go back.

This was such an amazing trip. For starters, Justin, Kristina and their entire family are welcoming. Their kids played with our kids the whole weekend. Our kids had so much fun feeding horses and cows, milking the cow and bottle feeding the baby cow. There is a great lawn area to play games, socialize and let's the kids run around. We did a few pony rides as well. They received a proper horse education, while helping brush the horses. We came the weekend before a rodeo, so we also got to see them practice.
We would 100% recommend a camping visit here. You will not regret booking.

We had a great time watching Sara give me niece a horse riding lesson. It was tailored to what she needed. Sara was very good and informative. We got to watch a horse drill team practice and my niece seemed to have a great time. Justin gave clear instructions about the process through Hipcamp and all of the family that we met were very nice.

We stayed in the #5 camp site next to the horse ranch. Justin is super friendly, and we enjoyed a lot for the activities provided during our stay. We had horseback riding lessons, feed the young animals, milk the cow and also played at the giant trampoline with their kids. It was heat wave that weekend but because of all the fun, we forgot about the unbearable weather for a while. The weather at night was very pleasant, better than expected during heat wave. Also the guest room shower is fantastic for someone who likes to enjoy camping and not too far from civilization. I highly recommend this ranch camping place for anyone who likes to experience country life and be around with lots of animals. However, campers do need to aware that there are lots of bugs and flies around because of the animals. Must be prepared with bug spray.
Overall a great stay experience! We can’t wait to go again for the horse riding lesson!

We loved the RV site, lots of shade in the afternoon/evening. Our kids had a wonderful time exploring the play areas and staying cool on the trampoline (with sprinklers)! We had a lovely evening riding, feeding animals, and hanging out with everyone. Morning walks with coffee and horses… you can’t beat that.
