So private, clean, and Ross was a great host. The trails were marked and to easily follow. You can also hike outside of the trails, Ross has the property lines marked so you know where not to go.

Elizabeth was awesome. What a great place and great vibe we were welcomed by a donkey immediately who shouted for joy upon our arrival.

Weekend Trip to Hummingbird Hollow Outdoors
One amazing experience for us! Susan’s land is one heck of a farm. Low stress and positive vibes would be a great credo.
The Sir Quincy Yurt was comfortable and well placed in the woods. I slept so good and wish we had stayed 2 or more nights. Thank you for a great stay!

I loved the privacy and access to water at this campsite. My pup and I came for two days and stayed for four; we were enchanted by the waterway area. Thank you Michelle and Paul. Looking forward to my next visit back.

We love it here. Elizabeth goes out of her way to make you feel at home. This campground has a gold mine when it comes to finding agate rocks and Chrystal. It's beautiful here with the animals and kitchen for your use. Come spend a few hours looking for rocks or camping for a weekend this is the go to spot with a spring fed creek

We loved camping here and are already planning to go back! We had so much fun swimming in the creek, and we enjoyed listening to all the animals while we sat around the fire each night. It was so private and beautiful, and we had amazing views of the stars both nights we were there. This was the perfect getaway that we needed before the busy school year begins next week.

We love Spring Lake Ranch! We have been just my husband and I, and came back with the kids. We want to come with even more family next time :) it’s beautiful, many options for camping/lodging, peaceful when we go during the week (haven’t been over the weekend) I love having a spot right by the water so we can enjoy fishing, swimming, kayaking, paddle board, watching the sunset, and finding driftwood to burn from the lakeshore.
