Weekend Trip to Sandy Beach

My wife and I celebrated our 29th anniversary at a hipcamp near the west shore of Yuba Lake. The RV spots were about 100 yards from the sandy beach, just a 10-minute walk to the shoreline. Though the campsites were quite primitive, they featured level gravel pads and large movable fire pits, allowing us to conveniently adjust the placement of our fire. From our RV pad, we enjoyed a stunning 360-degree view, with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The area was private and offered great opportunities for exploration. Our dog loved the off-leash experience and the open range, making it a perfect spot for flying kites or drones around the lake. I would consider camping at this location again.

What a beautiful spot. Our kids absolutely loved it. We will be back this summer :) Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Farm Cabins Zion & Bryce!! Pool...

Very convenient location with nice views and cozy accommodations. Owner and staff were very friendly at breakfast and loved getting to see all the farm animals. Perfect place to stay while exploring southern Utah.

Weekend Trip to CRT Properties

The four of us (Me, my fiance + 2 dogs) loved staying at Cody’s property. Having a large fenced in yard for our pups was amazing, not to mention an extremely well furnished home. Cody is an amazing host and even came by to check on things when I mentioned the wifi was down. We would definitely love to stay here again next time we’re in Hurricane!

Weekend Trip to Hope Acres

Everything and nothing. My gas leaked like hell and the heat went out. It’s on the 40 with a beautiful overlook over skinwalker ranch. Heat went out at ten. I woke up at 12 and went out for a smoke and saw my lights on in my car I was like godamn that crap was locked!!! Went turned it off and ran the car to charge the battery for twenty minutes. Damn right I brought my dog. My alarm for some reason went off at 505 and I woke up and my dog was frozen and shaking. She refused to get under the covers so I took her into my car. There were three of them. Talking about my dog. I laughed. I was in my car smoking heard a blow of one. Instantly rolled up my window. Then behind me my beautiful wiew. I say a glowing light get bright then go dim about twenty times. It was cool as hell. The things kept taking telling me to trust them. As soon as it was light. I cleaned and left quickly. I never turned off my vehicle. It was greatest experience ever I highly recommend staying in the Judah tent in February. Awesome night!!!

We had such a great time! The campground was private but also very easy to find. The yurt was very cute and comfortable. Very clean and all equip worked perfectly. The caretaker is very nice and helpful. The owner is very communicative and professional, they gave very detailed instructions, making the trip very stress free. A perfect little slice of heaven that we see ourselves returning to over and over again!

2 nights at Farm Cabins Zion & Bryce!! Pool...

We absolutely loved our stay at the Arrowhead farm. The cabin was very cozy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the fresh breakfast and all the animals on the farm.

2 nights at Farm Cabins Zion & Bryce!! Pool...

Wow what a fantastic find! Stayed here with my 2 boys and we had such a great time. My kids loved seeing all the animals and feeding them. The owners were so kind. I appreciated having organic coffee in our cabin and the homemade baked goods and farm eggs for breakfast. Loved that it was perfect for seeing both Zion and Bryce. We would love to stay again if we’re ever in the area!
