Peaceful Thanksgiving Stay
With kids
We had such a peaceful Thanksgiving camping trip at Olive Rock Ranch. Eliseo was a wonderful host - he welcomed us to the property after graciously hunting down extra propane for us on the holiday so we could cook to our heart’s desire and relax with the fire on the propane pit. The property is so well cared for and has the most beautiful views. Watching the sun rise and set each day was such a treat - I recommend having your morning coffee on the swing while you watch the sun come over the mountain!
Beyond the overall property being cared for, the site was immaculate. It was the cleanest camping experience we’ve ever had! The tent/yurt was spotless and you could smell the bedding and extra blankets had all been freshly washed. Bed was super comfy and we were nice and cozy, especially with the propane heater Eliseo left for us. The propane grill, sink, dishes, etc were all clean and stocked. And we loved the location - we took a half day trip to Julian for some cider and pie and made it back in time to watch the sunset.
If you’re considering booking, do it! It’s the perfect place to calm your mind while having some comforts of home and access to destination spots. It was great for our family of 5 (with 2 kids and a dog!).
Bonus: One of our sons is autistic and between the pavers making him a “bumpy road” to drive his Hot Wheels on, the hammock to lie in, the swing to swing on, and the animals, he was thrilled - so sensory friendly without even intending to be.
