Twisselman ranch is a 6 generation working cattle ranch that has been in the family since the 1800’s. We all enjoy this wonderful place and hope to share our experiences with others. Voted BEST HIPCAMP Glamping in the United States to visit in 2021 & 2022!! Come Glamping & experience our Rual Retreat here at Twisselman Ranch. We are located about 1 hour east of Paso Robles California a short drive off highway 58 and about 1.5 hours west of Bakersfield. Carrisa Plains is known for its beautiful display of wild flowers in the spring time, incredible sunny days, and spectacular wildlife viewing. The ranch is also located a short 29 min drive from the Carrizo Plain National Monument and Las Padres National Forest. Tule elk, prog horn antelope, and valley quail are just some of the animals you may encounter on our ranch. The pond is full of fish (bass, blue gill & sun perch) so don’t forget your fishing poles (catch & release). -We have beautiful 2 stall hot water showers, and three stall restroom including handicap stall. **Cleaned & Sanitized DAILY Our communal kitchen has : a large gas bbq grill, 3 smaller gas grills as well as gas burners & sink. **Cleaned & Sanitized DAILY. There are several counter high prepping tables around the kitchen (please clean up your cooking essentials & food after each meal as everyone shares this space). Campfires - We are an ember free site year round due to wildfire risks & insurance purposes.

Twisselman's - Entire Pond Property
Adriane and Ethan are fantastic hosts! We rented the entire ranch along with the Cactus House and couldn’t have chosen a better place for our group of 14. The pond was incredible, with a few of us enjoying the boats. Adriane and Ethan were also very attentive to any requests, whether it was for ice or anything else. The bathrooms and showers were spotless, and the views were breathtaking. We had a great time cooking in the kitchen and grilling at the Cactus House with the BBQ equipment. We enjoyed some of the best dinners during our stay. And don’t forget the nighttime fire pits where we roasted marshmallows—it was such an unforgettable experience!

Peaceful setting, comfy lodging, nice bathrooms, close enough to Paso Robles, Carrizo National Monument & beach. Very minimal kitchen (no fridge access, plates, utensils). Cooking was a bit tricky.

We had a great time camping. This place had amazing amenities. The newly updated bathroom and shower facilities were some of the nicest we have ever seen while camping. The pond was really nice and the fishing was great. We will definitely be back.

Great car camping spot

Twisselman Pond
The pond was lovely and we enjoyed the sounds of the birds during the day and frogs at night. The “kitchen” tent was well set up for grilling and washing dishes. Toilets and showers were clean (or so my friend said). Would be a great place for a group.
