We live on a small farm in the country about an hour from Kings Canyon National park and 1.5 hours to the south entrance of Yosemite. We have goats, chickens (including a rooster), cats and dogs who patrol the property and as such, it can be lively and noisy at times. We live directly across from an active citrus farm set up and therefore orchard fans (running continuously at night in frost season) and other farm equipment may be in use during your stay. There is wonderful produce all around and many great day trips you can take to Forestiere Underground Gardens, the Blossom Trail and more. If you are visiting during the Spring/Summer, there are many local fruit stands to buy juicy strawberries (April/May) and peaches/stone fruit (June - August). We'd be happy to point you in that direction. Parlier also boasts some wonderful Mexican food. We have a local place that sells street tacos for $1.75 each that is a favorite easy meal option (Taqueria Zihuatenajo located at 13129 Parlier St). Suggested Local Attractions:Yosemite National Park Kings Canyon National Park Sequoia National Park Foresterie Underground Gardens Pinchushion Mountain

    Very first time using BW and based on this experience it definitely won't be our last! Rylie met us upon arrival as did his four friendly farm dogs. we backed our 34' 5th wheel into the perfectly level designated spot with plenty of room for our slides. Rylie was extremely helpful offering to give us local information, but as we were just traveling through we chose to stay hooked up to the truck and stay put for the night. FYI: AT&T and Verizon both worked well and we were able to stream from them both. Rylie graciously offered us to pick some oranges 🍊 and lemons 🍋 from their trees which we took him up on. Thank you so much Hilscher for a great evening!

    Rylie and the dogs greeted us as we arrived. Parking our 40' coach was quick and we were level already when we shut down. We had been traveling for several days and needed a break and this couldn't have been better. Tucked out back we didn't hear anything all night. We've already recommended it to others we've met along the way. Thank you Rylie for sharing your fresh eggs we look forward to becoming hosts in the future and returning the favor.

    We had a comfortable night tucked between outbuildings. The farm is surrounded by beautiful orchards. Only difficulty we had was barking farm dogs, combined with neighborhood dogs. They were vigilant until 3am.

    Hilscher Farm was very kind to us. Great level spot on his farm. Roads to it were good roads coming from both ways. Location near Kings Canyon. We'd stay again!

    Nice area and easy to get to. Hosts were very helpful with suggestions of places to eat and things to do. We were to kings Canyon one day so didnt see much of the hosts. Nice wuiet spot but still close yo town. Their dogs are great greeters!
