Not your ordinary ranch.. Lucky U ranch was such a spectacular place. The hosts were very welcoming and hospitable from the jump. The animals were a key element that made the stay so heartwarming. The horses alongside the donkeys were there to greet you in the morning. The outdoor showers and bathrooms were so well kept. The water was nice and hot. All the animals made it so much FUN!

Spent a couple days and nights at Lucky U Ranch. Hosts Rob and Mike are great people. The place is well kept. Showers and restrooms are nice. Fire ring and picnic table at the site. The donkeys were fun to have around. They’re curious and unafraid. They’ll move along with a shooing if necessary (at their pace not yours). Horses on site, too. Highly recommend Lucky U Ranch. A bit of road noise from outside the property but went unnoticed most of the time. Looking forward to my next stay.

Wonderful ranch camping experience

16 ft car ·

Magnolia Hill tent

This is a wonderful place to camp - a true Jewel for car/tent campers. It is spacious and beautiful. It's an awesome place to bring your family to enjoy the ranch animals. The owners were wonderfully gracious and very kind. They were very attentive and responsive. They provided a tour of the land and the animals, where I learned so much in such a small amount of time. The hot outdoor showers were amazing. They were very clean, equipped with towels, shampoo, and body wash. and decorated nicely. They have sinks, coffee bar and picnic tables and a pavilion with barbecue pits. This is definitely a favorite of mine that my adult kids actually want to visit. Be prepared to hear the donkeys and dogs at night - which is a true ranch living experience. Also be prepared for your campground to be raided by donkeys and horses which have now become an extended part of my family. Verizon 5G is very strong here.

Rob and Mike are amazing hosts. They went above and beyond to help us out and make us feel comfortable. The bathrooms and showers are great, the care for the facilities is awesome (always cleaned early in the morning) and we got to have a tour with the animals on Saturday. They also helped us out with unforeseen circumstances and helped us with a leaf blower, a vacuum cleaner and extension cord. Overall, great hosts, great place and experience. Would recommend it to anyone!

Our stay was great! Better than imagined. The camp was peaceful and the animals were delightful. The donkeys were very gentle. Visiting with newly born goats was a treat. We appreciate Rob & Mike's extra attention to our needs/requests. The camping spot was perfect. We're looking at our calendar to plan our next visit.

Group trip ·

Grey Wolf

We can't recommend staying at Lucky U Ranch enough! We booked their RV option for a group of 5 and had ample space. We happened to book at the same time as a very large group, so they were kind enough to move us to an area with a little more privacy. Any questions we had were promptly answered, with Mike and Rob going so far as offering driving to get additional items for us! We had an issue getting our oven to work, so they had a nearby staff member, Kim, come and help us. She was so kind and accommodating with us, a true rockstar. The animals and land are very obviously well cared for and loved, and we had an absolute blast doing the ranch tour. We also enjoyed exploring the 3 different trails they have :) The pavilion with showers, toilets, and an outdoor kitchen for the tent camping area was well maintained, and some of our group actually chose using those facilities over the one in the RV as it was so comparable. Our group had the same consensus leaving- we had the most amazing and relaxing trip ever, and it was all due to the great care the hosts put into the experience!

We had a blast this past weekend staying at the Lucky U Ranch! Mike and Rob are absolutely incredible and amazing hosts. They have thought of everything possible for every camper’s needs in a campground~ attention and care is placed into every detail. We met all the farm animals and it truly was great bonding experience for our family. The RV accommodation we rented was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. This wonderful place truly 100 % deserves to be in a top spot in Hipcamp’s Top Places to visit!

Our stay was extremely enjoyable and comfortable. Rob and Mike were excellent hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. The animals were friendly and fun to pet and feed. The farm tour on Saturday morning was very informative and I actually learned a thing or two. There is plenty of space to roam and we saw deer each evening in addition to the farm animals

We stayed in our RV at one of their two RV spots....its was great. This was easily the quietest and most serene spot we've ever camped. If you are looking to get away from any signs or sounds of humanity, this is your place. Mike & Rob were great and they offered a tour of the property and introduced us to all of their livestock.
