Arte and Alexandra's campsite offers a friendly and welcoming atmosphere with clear communication and helpful hosts who go the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. Visitors appreciate the level spots with easy hookups, and the location provides convenient access to nearby attractions like the Snake River Canyon and Shoshone Falls. While most guests have positive experiences, there was a concern about the presence of animals, which some found a bit overwhelming. Overall, it's a comfortable and accommodating spot for travelers looking for a serene retreat close to nature.

Arte & Alexandra were great hosts! Communication was super clear, so we had no problem finding our spot and settling in for a quick overnight stay. We appreciated their flexibility with our arrival timing. We had an easy level spot with hookups if desired. This was the perfect stop after visiting nearby Shoshone Falls. Thanks Arte & Alexandra!

We enjoyed one night at Arte & Alexandra’s property. We appreciated having use of the half bath, Alexandra’s conscientious communication and her patience as it was our first experience using the app to arrange camping. They live in a beautiful area.

Decent night stay. We were traveling through Twin Falls, and wanted a place we could plug in, do a quick hike in the Snake River canyon, then hit the road in the morning. This checked all the boxes. Good communication, and nice level spot.

A bit of a challenge to find after dark. I can’t really say anything other than that because I was only there 5 hours to sleep. 😊

It was great to stay so close to the city but still be able to camp. Alexandra was so friendly and kind. The accommodations were perfect for us and our dog loved watching the neighbor's sheep. Thanks for everything!

We had a relaxing and pleasant time at Ranchocita. It was easy access to Twin Falls where we enjoyed watching the base jumpers jump off the bridge over the Snake River, driving by some water falls, and eating some of the best ice cream we’ve ever had at Cloverleaf Creamery in downtown Twin Falls, all recommended by Alex. We were parked outside next to the outbuilding.

Great spot, very polite hosts, and detailed parking images as I arrived to the property. GPS takes you right there, easy to find. Assuming I enter the same race next year, I’ll be rebooking for sure. Close to the course and close to 3 different golf courses if that’s your thing.

A peaceful and beautiful spot to rest for the evening. I enjoyed watching the sun go down and getting a taste of home from the pups in the morning! Despite the rural setting, Twin Falls is not far at all and loaded with amenities and recreation. I will be back!

Alex is so nice, an excellent communicator and extremely respectful. We have old dogs that don’t get along well with others and she asked us every time if it was okay to let her dogs out. She let us know about the hot springs nearby that we really enjoyed. Our spot was clean and flat. We would definitely stay there again.
