Wonderful place to stay. Greg met us on arrival & showed us to a large, level, gravel site with water & electric (30,50 & 120 service). Since they depend on rain for their water & we had plenty in our coach, we chose not to use theirs. Beautiful 200 acre ranch, watch out for Bigfoot! Be sure to call 1 hour before arrival, so the can open the electric gate for you. We highly recommend a stay here, if you are in the area.

Greg was an awesome host. The parking area was level and had access to electricity. I also have excellent cell service using my Verizon hotspot. The ranch has some wonderful walking paths and the view was beautiful. Highly recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

Safe and secure spot to overnight. I was grateful for the 30 amp hookup so we could use our AC. Easy pull through with level rock gravel. A LOT of small, paved country roads to get there however.
