Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to SLO Country Camp

We loved camping at Ken and Judi’s! Beautiful and well-planned sites with greenery and lights. Nice fire pits and camp kitchen facilities. Gorgeous views all around and an amazing sunset. Close to towns and many activities. We hiked at Johnson Ranch just down the road, a wonderful dog friendly trail, before heading to the beach. Highly recommend Ken and Judi’s and will return next time we are in the area!

2 nights at Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

I loved tent camping at Puri camp. A beautiful property and site located a a couple of miles up from highway 101. Very quiet, peaceful with great views. The site is clean, great parking, and was just perfect. The toilet is a short walk from the camp site, and the shower was clean and a short drive. I will be back! Karina and Chris's communication was excellent from booking to onsite during my stay to check out.

1 night at SLO Country Camp

Ken and Judi’s place was a perfect stay for a quick overnight for me and my friends. The location is beautiful and quiet. The sites are very clean and with all the amenities you could need. Firewood, sink, toilet, shower, etc. The sites are close to the main house but still private. There is a beautiful orchard full of different stone fruits and apples nearby and cats roaming around. Ken came out to make sure we settled in nicely and he was very kind, generous and knowledgeable. We had a lovely time.

We really enjoyed our stay. Our site had great views, was quiet at night, and we got to enjoy the curious farm animals that came around to check us out. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful, peaceful, clean camp. The landscaping and sites are interesting. It’s a great place for family fun, too!

Weekend Trip to Organic farm and horse camp

We tent camped at her horse property. Communication with owner was easy and she responds quickly. Once we arrived, everyone working there was very helpful. It was a little bit tricky to figure out where we were supposed to camp. The sites didn't have any obvious signs and didn't look like camp site areas. A couple of camping areas were just surrounding the barn but weren't obvious to us. The barn had a nice bathroom, warm water which I loved. Unfortunately, the night we stayed it was raining but luckily we camped in a grassy area. There was an electrical connection where we were able to easily charge our phones and use our light connection with an extension cord. The location of her farm is perfect. Close to various areas of interest. We just used the camp site to sleep and shower since the area has a lot of things to do.

Weekend Trip to Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

I had an amazing exprience at camp puri. The views from the ranch land are beautiful. There's is a compost toilet and bathroom/shower not too far from the site. Karina was very kind and helpful. She gave us a tour of the land and let us meet the farm animals.

Weekend Trip to Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

Karina and Chris are great hosts and super friendly. Communication was great. My buddies and I stayed at the Shady Oak, which is a great site - private, spacious, nice flat spot for tent, space for cars, picnic bench, fire pit, water and nice oaks to provide shade. Love the animals - pigs, goats, and sheep. Nice hikes to the other sites and fire road - amazing views from Moro Bay to Pismo. Easy access to composting toilet from Shady Oak and a slight hike to the shed with flushing toilet and shower. Easy access to SLO or Santa Margarita. Will definitely come back.

Weekend Trip to Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

The Range is the best campsite around. You're up in the hills so you have great views all around. The site has a firepit, a picnic table with chairs, a new shade structure, super friendly hosts, and pigs, goats, sheep and big dogs. What more could you want? Close to everything - SLO, Morro Bay, Paso Robles wine-tasting. It's a super spot and Chris and Karina are the best hosts. Can't wait to come back

Weekend Trip to -G Ranch

Our group had an amazing time camping at G Ranch! Dave was very helpful and communicative. The property is incredibly beautiful and secluded, with a large flat area for plenty of tents, vans, RVs, etc. The pavilion shade structure made a perfect dance floor, firepit is awesome and well maintained, and the water tank bar was a big hit! The bathroom facility is a great amenity as well. The site is easily accessible with a paved road most of the way and a short, well-maintained, gravel entrance road. We can't wait to come back!

We had a great stay, the views were unbeatable such a gorgeous spot!

Weekend Trip to Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

A true gem of a Hipcamp located high up in the Santa Lucia mountain range. Our campsite, Escondido, was perfect for the two of us and our motorcycles, and had an amazing view to the east. Karina was an outstanding host and provided us with firewood, great company, lively conversation then answered all of our questions about the surrounding areas.

Beautiful spot! We sat in awe of the beautiful vineyards and mountain views that surrounded our camp area. Ken was so nice and helpful, we would definitely stay again! Awesome set up with outdoor shower and outdoor kitchen area. Went on a hike and went to Prismo Beach which is so close, and a must see. 5 stars!!!

2 nights at Vinyl Vineyards

We loved our stay at Vinyl Vineyards. They could use a little better signage for entering/exiting, but that is only an issue on your first day. It is super close to some nice wineries, and we even loved the outdoor showers. We will definitely stay here again.

This place was perfect for our family. Great location. Not too far from town for all the conveniences but also far enough to see every star away from the city lights. The site had everything you would need. Very nice bbq grills, lights, fire pit, frisbee golf, corn hole, etc.

such a beautiful & private spot! would 100% come back and recommend to anyone. thank you for having us!

Mt Rancho (FKA La Montaña Ranch)

5 sites · RVs, Tents142 acres · Santa Margarita, CA

Our property is 142 acres located on the top of east Cuesta grade, elevation approximately 2100. We are secluded enough to feel like you're far away from city life but in reality only 20 minute drive to downtown San Luis Obispo. The main road up continues past our property and turns into the Los Padres National Forest and is very popular for hiking and biking with locals. We also have private trails within our property. We have a farm consisting of 10 sheep, 10 goats, 30 chickens, 2 pigs, 4 dogs, a cat. Interaction with farm animals may be possible upon request. Most campsites are close to our animal pastures. Guests have enjoyed having a morning coffee in the company of sheep and a couple of pigs on the other side of the fence. Bee hives are located on the property as well. Honey, eggs and firewood are available for purchase. :)

SLO Country Camp

2 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · San Luis Obispo, CA

SLO Country Camp was once a part of the Serpa Ranch, one of the early ranches of the Central Coast. It’s remained a beautiful rural pocket in the Edna Valley area of San Luis Obispo. It’s quiet and peaceful, enjoy your morning coffee listening to all the birds waking up. There’s a private creek not far away that draws deer and wildlife. Just saw 3 deer run through out property 2 days ago. Owls, red tail hawks, eagles, squirrels and jack rabbits we see frequently. And you can listen to the coyotes howling at night. We’re surrounded by rolling coastal hills, vineyards, horses, cattle and also land apportioned to the Land Conservancy. Walk down our road and then left up to the top of the hill for a panoramic view of the entire area with the city San Luis Obispo at a distance. Our two sites are flat on decomposed granite pads. Both have excellent views and easy access to our common areas: wash/kitchen prep, and cold-water outdoor shower. Site 1 is best for trailers but Site 2 is adequate. Firewood is available for purchase at camp for those wanting to use the fire pit, or you can bring your own. The San Luis Obispo, Central Coast has so much to see and do! Hiking trails abound, my favorites are Bob Jones trail to walk or bike to Avila Beach, Johnson Ranch and Irish Hills for hiking hills, the Ridge trail for a view over Shell and Avila beaches, and the Harmony Trail to walk grassy cliffs by the ocean. Montano de Oro is only 15 minutes away with rocky ocean cliff trails that lead down to the coastline. We are 5 minutes from the beginning of the Edna Valley winery trail with 30 wineries or more I’ve lost count. Tasting and relaxing in great atmospheres. My favorites are Biddle Ranch, Talley, Mailene, Chamisal, Bailyanna... but there are so many more. We’re 10 minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo, 10–12 minutes to Avila or Pismo beaches. Morro Bay is 25 minutes. And we’re just 5 minutes off the 101 for easy access to traveling. The Central Coast has almost everything for fun, adventure and food. Surfing, biking, hiking, ocean kayaking, paddle boarding, golf, wine and beer culture, ranch lands, shopping and restaurants and we’re close to it all.

Organic farm and horse camp

5 sites · RVs, Tents80 acres · Los Osos, CA

We have a busy property. Organic farm, polo club, and lots of horses are boarded here. Camp somewhere on the property with your RV or tent. We have easy access to Morro Bay, Montana De Oro and wineries galore. Bring your horses, dogs, etc!! We have tent spots and a fully furnished toy hauler available. We have gates, and we have a general equine liability form for you to complete, and then we can give you the gate code. I have been here for 14 years. I have an organic farm, polo club, boarding stables, a few gypsy friends and 2 kids. If you are looking for a place to crash while enjoying San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay and Los Osos this is it!! If you want to learn to ride or play polo... that is my real job. Guests love it here: "My husband, friends, and our dogs spent Thanksgiving at Megan’s farm. Megan was welcoming, patient (I asked her a number of questions) and responsive - even on Thanksgiving evening. The property is in a GREAT location so close to SLO, Montaña de Oro, Morro Bay, wineries and so much more. (The weather prevented us from experiencing that and so much more but it’s easy to build a great trip when staying at Megan’s place.) It was a unique experience and if you enjoy or interested in horses - this is a great spot to stay."
