First time camping in years and it was a breeze! My site was in walking distance to the car and felt remote, sitting along the river. The communal areas are gorgeous and well maintained. It felt more like a sanctuary than a campsite. It was the perfect reset.

The hosts are really kind and the land is so peaceful and beautiful. A lovely outdoor kitchen equipped with fridge, stove, and potable water. So many features and plants inviting you to slow down and enjoy the space. We loved the river so much. Thank you Memet and Xico!
Bring plenty of water and electrolytes in the summer. Temperatures are intense!

Camping in our tent along the river was magical. Xavier is an awesome person and so kind and welcoming. The land feels so sacred and we are so grateful to have gotten to experience being there. Beautiful outdoor kitchen and shower too. Thank you so much for having us, we absolutely recommend! - Nick and Anna:)

From start to finish, it was an amazing experience. Xavier met us and was thorough with his directions. He even made suggestions on where to charge our EV and about seeing the Trail of 100 Giants instead of being bombarded by tourists in the Sequoias.
Mehmet is also another caretaker. He was an amazing host, showing my family the best place to stargaze, as my daughter loves space and was excited to see stars and the milky way. He is also so very passionate about nature and is a fountain of information.
The animals were a delight and made fast friends with my daughter. She had never been so close to chickens or donkeys. She also feared dogs but had no fear as these amazing dogs loved her instantly.
We didn't want to leave, but unfortunately had to return to our boring lives. We will definitely be going back! Thank you again Xavier, Mehmet, Gio, and Christian (I hope I spelled that right)!

The host was so kind and just such a giving person, and land was so peaceful and rejuvenating. I stayed her because I was working close by and I had to work long hours, I was pretty much wiped out by the time I got back, but ending my day at a place that was so peaceful was so nice. I would stay here many times and would definitely recommend it to other campers!

The site we camped was spectacular! Right along the rushing Tule River, sleep was lulled by Nature’s white noise. The land was very quiet, clean, and extremely well maintained. You could feel the love the residents have for this land. I highly recommend camping here if you are looking to explore the Many parks of southern CA.

Just not for us! The hosts are very sweet and there are lots of amenities that would work for others. However, we were camping with a rooftop tent and there were limited options, we were parked by a gate with cars streaming by. Not the escape we hoped for. We'd shared our set up with the host at the time we booked too. Them, unfortunately there was no one to help us when we arrived. We did communicate timing over the app and were given instructions, but it wasn't remotely clear at all where to set up and we sat around waiting for nearly two hours. We wouldn't have cared so much, but we got in at on the earlier side to avoid setting up in the blazing heat. So it was a frustrating start. The dogs barked all night which was not part of the peaceful stargazing we hoped for. The highlight was walk to the river, it was a magical spot and the best part of our trip. We appreciated the hospitality and the experience.

I stayed for a couple of nights over Memorial Day weekend. The campsites next to the river have beautiful views of the surrounding hills and the Tule River and are adjacent to a garden featuring many blooming desert plants. Xico is a welcoming and gracious host who went out of his way to find and guide me to the campground late in the evening after I (an east coast native) got lost in the Springville area. Highly recommend this campground!

We loved how the site was secluded and the river was so close. Nice setup for kitchen and lounging. Xavier was very responsive and showed all he had to offer there. Wished we could have stayed longer.

The land was beautiful, we loved swimming in the river. We essentially had the whole property to ourselves so it was very private and nice. The porta potty and showers were well kept. It was nice to have access to stove and utensils. Our host was super cool and helpful with recommendations on places to hike.
