I don't even know where to start, we had so much fun! My son and nieces - ages 10, 5, and 3 still can't stop talking about all their new animal friends, the crafts they did, and our wonderful friendly hosts at HHH Ranch.
We stayed two nights and I thought we might take a little day trip, but we ended up having so much fun we never left the farm. Our hosts were very generous with their time and had endless energy and activities for the kids. Their animals were all very sweet and patient with the kids - to say that they were safe would be an understatement. We signed up for riding lessons, but ended up also doing all sorts of crafts. I recommend doing all the additional activities and getting the full summer camp experience!
One of my kids is usually a little nervous around dogs, but the big boisterous dogs at HHH did not jump on him or startle him at all and he was totally comfortable with them (and played with them a lot). The roosters started crowing early in the morning, but the donkey didn't do the once-a-morning bray until 8 or 9ish so we were already up. If the roosters will bug you, remember earplugs. :) I think my favorite was Sweet Pea the pig - such a character!
This was our first Hipcamp experience and I was a little nervous going to stay with strangers in an area less welcoming of diversity than the city we live in. Our hosts at HHH were incredibly inclusive, super friendly, kindhearted people. I'm confident they would be as welcoming of anyone as they were of us. Also, I forgot to pack coffee and they rescued me with a big hot cup both mornings - lifesavers!
What else to say? The site itself was tucked into the trees and felt private, though it was visible from the house and the barn. There was a picnic table and hammock already there, and a clean porta-potty outhouse was nearby. There is also the option of camping in the yard behind the house. There was a sink with hot water in the barn that we used to brush teeth and fill water bottles.
I don't feel like I can recommend HHH Ranch enough. They really take hosting (and farm camping) to a whole other level! We will definitely be back!
Past trips
Camping in forest, next to a creek.
in Camping in forest, next to a creek., WashingtonWe had a delightful stay at Andrew's land. The campsites are very well-maintained and completely private. Andrew was very welcoming and we had a couple of enjoyable conversations. The creek was just right for us to play in and cool down. I highly recommend this lovely place to camp!
Site 2 - Camp with the animals at HHH Ranch
