Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Our farm experience offers a no-fuss stay on a real working farm approximately 15 miles south Bakersfield. 20 acres surround you, bounded by the Tehachapi Mountains and within the San Joaquin Valley. Sites are perched on the edge of the pond, stocked with fish or enjoy the provided paddle board or kayak to explore the pond. Each site offers a good amount of shade for a portion of the day and has its own picnic table, water spigot and fire pit. Campers provide firewood. There is one shared, plumbed bathroom between campsites and one shared outdoor shower (with hot water). There's no electricity at your rustic home away from home, but the evening stars light up the sky. We have the following sites available: Bring Your Own (BYO) Tent - all sites Van Parking (No RVs, Trailers or Trucks with Campers) - sites 4 & 6 only. We are an organic working farm - no pesticides or herbicides are sprayed on the farm or around the camp areas. Depending on the day you stay, we may have more activity than others. We have staff on and off the farm coming and going from the farmers markets we participate in. We have working dogs that love to keep predators away at night by barking if they sense any around. We have roosters that crow, lizards, bugs and insects, bull frogs in the pond, California King snakes, and lots of birds/hawks/owls. We do our best to create an environment for all the creatures to live and thrive in the environment that's natural to them. Pets are not permitted on property due to our livestock guardian dogs. It is not a safe environment for any outside animals since they will see them as a predator.

Site #5: BYO Tent, Vans Ok, No RVs
It’s a great place, I love it. I like the restroom’s it was really clean, also if talking about negative points. mosquitoes and dogs were very annoying especially when eating. But overall it was a good night and a good environment

Love the Campsite
My daughter keep urging me to leave comment after our visit and here is what she says: this was one of the best camping trips I have ever went to. My family stayed at campsite 2. I had a lot of fun playing with the dogs and on the hammock. Cleo is the one that begs me to massage her, Brody is the one that likes to play, and Nola is the one who enjoys the shade. The dogs can sometimes be a little dirty though. Showers were pretty good for outdoors and I love the hot water it contains. I would definitely come back to this campsite and visit the dogs again.

We enjoyed our stay. They maintained the property neat and clean. The scenery was peaceful and relaxing. The weather was getting hot, but there was enough shade to cool us down. Tons of nature sounds!

This was an amazing trip. Will definitely be coming back. One of my favorite camp sites Ive ever been too. Very relaxing and private. The property is really beautiful and gives you that on a farm out in nature relaxing experience. The pond was so much fun to swim and paddle board in. We were at site #5. The site was well equiped with two tables a fire pit with a grate for cooking on and even a well made clothes line to hang our wet bathing suits after going in the pond. The bathroom is really cute and clean and the outdoor shower was great, including hot water and peppermint soap! All those animals do get very loud at night though, so I recommend bringing a speaker and fully charged phone to play some ambient music to help drown it out. Once we did that, no problems sleeping through the night. It does get really hot though, make sure you place your tent where shade will hit it in the morning.

Great camp spot (#6)
Super cute spot to spend the night after a long drive. I loved the dogs and cows that came by to visit! The place is lovely and clean and well taken care of.

As good as it gets
This was everything I hope for in a Hipcamp. Beautiful setting, all the amenities I would want, and very reasonable. The pond was really peaceful, and having two kayaks and two SUPs available for guests was a luxury I enjoyed immensely. I was surprised to find few mosquitos, even at the pond. I'd still recommend bringing bug spray though. Very nice bathroom, outdoor shower and sink, drinkable water right at the campsite, fire pit, tables and chairs, shade. Everything was self-explanatory and well marked. The dogs were friendly and very sweet. I stayed two nights and was in no hurry to leave, taking a walk around the property and relaxing in the rope chairs on the dock longer than I planned. There were even wild bunnies running around. Be prepared that this is in an agricultural area, so some of the smells from nearby animals and crops can take getting used to, but it wasn't strong and the second day I didn't notice them. Typical farm sounds at night from bullfrogs, dogs, etc., but nothing hard to sleep through. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
