Gilberto's campsite is a tranquil retreat with spacious grounds and a welcoming atmosphere. Campers appreciate the friendly interactions with animals like horses and ponies, which add to the charm of the setting. The site offers plenty of space to spread out, with clean amenities and proximity to amenities like a gas station. However, some reviews mention the nearby interstate, which can introduce some road noise.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
This little slice of heaven was fantastic!
The tub and the shower were an out-of-body experience. The kitchen was well stocked and everything worked!
We enjoyed daily walks around the acreage, including the pier over the pond with the glass bottom and the sweet ponies who loved pets.
The floor in the cabin was astounding. Many various materials and colors are beautifully patchworked around the entire cabin. It does make it inaccessible for people with mobility issues (but there aren’t any accessible entrances to the cabin either).
Gilberto responded quickly and worked hard to make the space very welcoming.
We will definitely be back and have already suggested it to several friends.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Hacienda Group Camping and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The location is incredibly convenient, being close to a major highway, which made our arrival easy. However, do keep in mind that this also means you may hear some traffic noise at night.
One of the highlights of our stay was the delightful interaction with the resident animals. We absolutely loved spending time with the horses and Luna, the very friendly white dog, who quickly became a favorite during our visit.
While the amenities are basic, with just 1 bathroom and no showers, they provided a great experience for first-time mini campers like us. If you're looking for a simple getaway with lovely animal companions and easy access, La hacienda group camping is a perfect choice.
Thank you to our hosts for making our stay enjoyable and memorable!

I loved camping here! There were horses and donkeys that strolled the property with beautiful ponds, and a stream. Gilberto was extremely helpful, and checked on us several times throughout my stay.

We came had a blast camping at Gilberto's ranch. It's a beautiful, green, wide-open space. Gilberto and his team and family are all friendly and happy to let us set up camp wherever. There were generous piles of firewood close to wherever you'd want to set up your tent, and port-a-potties nearby. Also bathroom with running water, stalls, soap and towels. Very peaceful, ponies for the kids, fantastic tacos just down the road. Only thing is it's very close to the Interstate, but not too loud. No bugs! This was a great stop.

We had a great time at Hacienda for the eclipse. Gilberto was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Porta potties scattered throughout the grounds and they were exceptionally clean

We came to camp with out dog during the total solar eclipse and had a great time! There was plenty of space to set up our tent, cool activity options (we didn't partake but they looked fun), and well stocked porta potties as well as regular bathrooms (a luxury)! Sometimes there were ponies wandering around the ranch/campsite area, which was really cool! I'd absolutely come back if we were camping in the area again.

Room was very clean. Drive was interesting. I though the cabin and the land around the cabin was just like any other cabin I have been to. I was proven wrong. The cabin was antique but still very nice. The host was great and the land and animals where really beautiful. This stay will be a great memory of mine.

We had a wonderful experience at La Hacienda Group Camping! Our family of five (including 3 teenagers) drove halfway across the continent on a gamble that the weather would be clear enough to watch the total eclipse of the sun. We lucked out, but even if we hadn't, we would have been more than satisfied with our stay at "the ranch." Upon arrival, we were greeted by Gilberto, who provided us with all the info we needed. We were then set free to pick out a spot to set up our camp. There were lots of available spaces, and we chose an area that was far away from anyone else. We found so much beautiful green everywhere, ponds, trees, a creek, and horses wandering around. Gilberto was readily available throughout our stay. We loved our stay and would absolutely recommend this location for somebody interested in a beautiful, quiet, and comfortable place to camp.

Gilbert who helped us was wonderful!
The land is a “working farm” which can be interesting. I loved the friendly ponies, pond and bridge. I am used to more developed campsites. I would recommend this site, but be prepared for a nice rustic location.

We stayed here during the 2024 solar eclipse and The little piece of paradise property was amazing! We stayed in the tree house and it was a step above camping (literally)! There was lot's of mud on the ground from rains before we got there and our little sedan couldn't make it all the back to the tree house, so Gilberto gave us his 4 wheel drive truck to use to get to and from the fort.
The property is large and there's lots to explore! There's a rodeo arena and lots of horses that you can interact with there's lots of places to fish. The gazebo on the mini lake is super relaxing and you can watch for turtles! When we stayed there, there were 2 puppies and a fawn that we were able to pet! So cool! There were plenty of fun games around the property as well. Lot's to do! I highly recommend staying on this property, even if you are just going to tent camp.

Nice open spaces and also trees in other areas. Not expensive. The road in is kinda rough for a camper trailer. I would stay again!

Gilberto camping area is grass and trees near a couple of creeks - very park like - crickets and ponies. Great spot for kids. Felt very safe. Many level(ish) sites to choose from. Clean bathroom We were there for the eclipse and had a great time. Gilberto was very responsive & accommodating. And to his credit he did not increase pricing due to the eclipse like so many other places. We will return if in the area.

Gilberto is exceptionally welcoming and accommodating. There are many animals on the property- horses, chickens, deer, puppies, and a donkey. We had a lot of fun interacting with them and playing with puppies. The property is clean, gated, and is near a gas station that has the best tacos in the world.

It was a nice place and run pleasantly laissez-faire.
Some ponies mosey around the premises and that is fun.
Porta-potties were scattered across the grounds, with a flush toilet and potable water from a building near the entrance. Bring your own toilet paper though in case they are temporarily out.
Despite the large amounts of stagnant water around, we had very few mosquitoes over several days.
We camped during the 2024 eclipse and still had a fairly secluded spot.
Firewood was provided as logs from fallen trees. It was fun to be able to gather sticks and kindling to burn with it, although I should have brought a hatchet and axe.
Outside of just camping, the place seems like it was or will be a great event site. There is a horse pen/rodeo ground with bleachers. There was also a pen with puppies and other animals in it. The compound seems like it has a lot of fun stuff going on.

We really enjoyed the relaxed approach to the dispersed sites. We were able to find a spot with enough space from other campers to feel some privacy, even with so many folks there for the eclipse. Other campers were very respectful of quiet hours and the place would have been completely peaceful... Except for the sound of the nearby highway. That was really the only downside to the experience. We were absolutely delighted by the small free-roaming herd of ponies that came close enough to be a special treat to see, but kept enough distance not to be intrusive. Gilberto was friendly and helpful. The water is regular municipal water, safe to drink but has a strong chlorine taste and odor. Maybe plan to bring your own drinking water if that bothers you. The land is really lovely and has a couple of very scenic ponds with moderate mosquitoes. Bring some spray & you'll be fine though. Overall we were really happy with our camping experience. (Just wish we could turn down the sound of the highway traffic.) Thanks so much Gilberto! We appreciate everything & wish you all the best!

We stayed there in our small teardrop trailer for the 2024 total eclipse. It was awesome. Not super manicured such that we would feel like we were walking on eggshells, but not trashy. I love the large grassy area where a mini horse herd runs around freely. It is a hacienda-like setting and the people we met were great. The instructions were great, but I screwed up anyway and went the wrong way from the gas station following Google maps which used the GPS coordinates. I guess I won’t rely I those anymore.

This was such a nice place to camp! Im in a class c rv and was able to pick a spot and had plenty of space. No hookups but there’s a bathroom (no showers) & I was allowed to run my generator whenever I needed.
The owner was so friendly and accommodating! My family & I really enjoyed the miniature ponies that graze the property and the donkey. We got lots of great pictures! The owner had games & grilled out for the eclipse. It was awesome!
If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll definitely be staying here! The property is beautiful & close to the interstate & a gas station. I highly recommend coming here!

A large swathe of bucolic land just off the freewaywith ponies, a burro, a duck, and a turtle. Won't find that at an RV park. Very serene. Slept well. Bathroom could use a mirror and electric plug.

The cabin was clean and smelled good. My kids really liked the pool and diving board. We roasted marshmallows next to the pool and had dinner out there. We enjoyed watching the dog round up the horses.

Clean cabin, decorated to feel like home. Worked great for my birthday weekend with 4 Adults. We brought an air mattress so I can't speak about the pull out couch, but the bed in the bedroom was comfortable. Pool, campfire, surrounded by nature, with horses grazing near by.
The host was friendly and accommodating we hope to come back in the future.
