The campsite offers a picturesque and serene setting, ideal for those looking to escape into nature. However, some visitors found the site's amenities lacking, particularly the cleanliness of the porta potty and the lack of privacy due to the site's layout around a common field. Additionally, there were issues with communication and fulfillment of booked activities, which left some guests feeling disappointed. Despite these concerns, many appreciated the friendly staff and the novelty of animal interactions, making it a mixed experience overall.

Stayed for 2 nights and had 2 king sized air mattresses which were comfortable, the only thing I'd recommend is having warm blankets or sleeping bags as the night is cooler than the day, as for myself personally it didn't bother me but for the rest of the fam it was colder for them. Otherwise great site to stay at as they have farm animals too, the rooster may wake you up if your a light sleeper but wasn't too bad and bunnies running around the area.

We had a good experience. There was some confusion on where to set up camp until the host came out. The sites could all use a picnic table. The animal experience was really cute. The view in the morning was just amazing.

I did not give a low rating, There were only minor issues, we enjoyed our overnight at this location, the hosts were gracious and accommodated our selection of camping spots. There was less privacy than we prefer for camping, the setup is to have sites around a common field and there was a minor issue with lights on buildings which come on from motion detectors at night.
However, Hipcamp has a totally screwed up rating system and a spamming followup that sends these emails every day. You can only choose Yes, Maybe, No on whether one would recommend this venue. Then they identify a Maybe as a 'low rating'. I do not want to give a low rating for minor issues, but not a perfect rating implied by a 'Yes'. Then if you try to exit the their self-serving rating system (which biases answers to the perfect, more sales for them) then they spam you daily with reminders.
So for this venue, I do recommend it with some minor caveats.
For Hipcamp, I give a resounding 'No' about using them again, I cannot trust their rating system because they pressure answers biased to make all their properties perfect, and will spam you every day if you don't want to play their game. They'll probably delete this review, I am sending a copy to them and they are unlikely to publish this accurate review of THEM.

I was hesitant to book after reading the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. It IS hard to find and you need to follow the directions in the tincture they will send you, I would not try to find it in the dark.
It’s a good location to day trip to both Monterrey and Santa Cruz from (which is what we did). I didnt ask about the extra activities you can book on the website so can’t speak to that.
They definitely heard the initial feedback on the porta potty which was clean with many rolls of toilet paper and hand sanitizer while we were there.
Beautiful location and quirky charming site to day trip out of.

Overpriced. Rented the 1B/1B The place was not clean: furniture was filthy, dead flies in the windows, floor had a thick layer of dirt, and there was someone else's food in the fridge. Toilet situation was odd as you're instructed to not flush your toilet paper. The propane we paid for was not provided. Animals were not hungry and didn't look well and the employees were not aware of the option to buy feed to feed the animals. No screen on back door. Television didn't work properly and internet was spotty. Trampoline and tents right outside the door made the place feel less private. Range hood filters into kitchen so place can get smoky. Back porch not private, people entered at night without warning which made us nervous.

Porta potty was filled to the top, and couldn’t use
Owners were not onsite, just working crew
We paid for “feeding the animals” but no one was there to provide activity, lost out on that money
Kiddo liked the trampoline. Quiet/ shaded but wouldn’t have been private if there were other people camping next to us.
