Firstly, we really did have a great time, the land is beautiful and Tim (the onsite employee) was so so kind and wonderful. I did feel a bit mislead with the amenities and accessibility of the property. Firstly, it was listed that a bathroom/port-a-potty option was available at the campsite, only to find out upon arrival that it is only available at peak times/big digs and that there wasn't one available. Then it was also very hard to navigate in our compact car. We were unable to drive really anywhere outside of our tent site to enjoy parts of the property like the pond. We tried to walk there but it was a bit of a haul with a kiddo under the age of 5. I think that information up front would have impacted our choice in reserving a campsite. Again, we still enjoyed our time, and the property, but I think some of that information would be helpful when making plans.

Just what we wanted
Everyone at Maggi’s ranch was kind and thoughtful. Tim was especially helpful! He even drove us to the pond so that we could fish. Our tent camping site was peaceful, quiet, private, and had a great view. Some of the horses on the ranch came by our site for a visit, making our experience extra special. Next time we will bring apples and carrots for them. And there will be a next time!

Camping with kids and dog
Kids and dog had a great time. Played with horses, saw deers and many animals. Played with other kids at night and during the day there. Both of my kids and I will definitely go again; lovely time and everyone there was super helpful and friendly.

Beautiful land and great spot
Maggi’s land was absolutely beautiful. We were shown to the tent area by Tim who was awesome and extremely helpful. Tent spots were bare bones with just a fire pit, but that’s to be expected based on the listing but if you’re fine with that I highly recommend this spot. It was super cool walking the creek bed and looking for finds and just getting to spend time on that land. They had an RV area as well and way more property we didn’t get to check out because of time constraints. Will definitely be coming back in the future!

A special place.
Maggi's ranch is a special place. We loved our stay there over a long weekend. The ranch itself is beautiful with amazing and varied topology and geology, many points of interest and an amazing variety of plants and wildlife. We had rented a camper and had it delivered to a site that Maggi selected based on our pretty specific requests. She hit it on the nose too! Perfect placement and very thoughtful. We were a little out of the way, away from other campers and lights, in a secluded but accessible clearing surrounded by trees with a great view of the nearby hills. It was beautiful. Maggi and Tim were excellent hosts, greeting us and spending all the time we needed with us to get us settled in. They did just the right amount of checking in on us to make sure we had what we needed, and giving us space and room to breathe otherwise. Tim, in particular, spent additional time just visiting with us and telling us about the history of the place and its many stories, and some of his own. We will definitely return, hopefully sooner than later.

The remote areas around the camp are very peaceful to walk in. I really enjoyed walking the dry riverbed. Most importantly was that the grandkids had a good time. Owners spent much time with us educating us on what to look for.
