I’m writing this while suffering from acute withdrawal from my brief stint as a neonatal goat unit grandma. In decades of camping, this is, without question, my favorite camping experience ever! Enough cannot be said about our wonderful hosts, who even jumped in to the rescue with grates when our friends’ very heavy RV briefly got bogged down. The ranch’s woods and open spaces were idyllic. The goats, donkeys, horses, miniature horses, and giant hogs were all absolute heart stealers! The ranch tour with Mike was so endearing. We learned about the history of the ranch, the animals and their individual personalities, and so much more. Being greeted by each of them in their home spaces made the experience feel truly special. Admittedly, one of the highlights was the huge, open-air shower, with a horse calling for scratches and carrots just outside. You really can’t make this stuff up! We cannot wait to return with our children and grandchildren. They can stay in the spacious travel trailer available to rent. When we visited, it was parked right next to the amazing pavilion, which includes multiple restrooms, showers with all the amenities, a coffee bar, a grill, a utility sink, and a microwave. So much warmth, hospitality, and thoughtfulness are infused into this lovely ranch. More than just a place to camp. We felt connected to the animals, the land, and the people who care for them. Highly, highly recommend!

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.

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!

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!
