We loved our stay at Patricia's! The sauna and soaking tub were lovely and the shared kitchen space made it super easy to make dinner and breakfast. Patricia was so warm and welcoming and the eggs were delicious! We would come back in a heartbeat.

Nice location away from the downtown city. It is comfortable and a private site away from the sites on property. The hosts were very friendly and quick to respond with any questions or in need of assistance.

We had a great weekend at Hidden Spring Ranch! It was close to town but still felt very off the beaten path. I liked that there was an outdoor kitchen with the option to do some minor cooking /heating water, and potable water was available.
The porta-potty was clean and well-kept. You can tell the owners love the property and are working hard to make it nice for visitors.
Some minor downsides- the campsites are VERY close together. We had visual privacy from our neighbors but despite the fence, were close enough to hear whispering and breathing from a few feet away (a little awkward if you are there for a romantic visit).
The other issue was that the visitors who used the site prior to us left the propane (which heats the tub/shower for each site) empty, and took the bath stopper. We spent a longgg time trying to figure out how to use the tub, including crawling through the bushes to find the empty propane. When we reached out to Patricia she sent someone over within the hour to help. They replaced the propane, but the heater still didn't work properly, the heater was not powerful enough to fill the tub with warm water, despite us REALLY trying and being patient. So on day 3 we finally took one shower that was half scorching, half freezing intermittently.
Turns out the propane they used to refill ours was borrowed from the kitchen so we had no way to cook that morning.
Hosts still have some kinks and details to work out, but overall we had a great time and loved it <3

The accessibility of the host was appreciated. Just be aware that the facilities are lacking. It is, obviously, a campsite.... location and parking are accessible with a van.
