Super Enjoyable

We loved camping on Nolan's Farm. Campsite Number 2 was well laid out, the bathroom is super cute and it's secluded, even though you are not very far away from their house. We especially loved the farm itself. The land and the animals are really well cared for and the pond couldn't be any sweeter. The drive out there was also very picturesque. Any way a farmer can make a buck is much deserved and we really appreciate their allowing us to camp there.

We had a wonderful time camping here on our way to Santa Barbara. Private, beautiful and peaceful. There are goats, chickens, horses, dogs and the best kitties I’ve ever met to keep you company. The hosts were responsive and accommodating, providing firewood for a small fee and even helped with a dilemma we had with our motorcycles. We would camp here again.

I stayed with my 2 kids and our puppy. My kids loved all the animals on the property. My daughter fell in love with the kittens and my son loved fishing the pond. He was able to catch a few decent sized bass too. We also had a lot of fun catching crawdads. Great place for kids and families with pets!

Beautiful & Relaxing Experience

Best 1st HipCamp Experience! After driving all night long from Central Oregon, we found Tule Elk Campsite as a relaxing stop with friendly hosts Nolan & Stacey. The campsite next to farm animals and under shady trees had everything we needed - potable water, bathroom shed (toilet/sink) and even cornhole. My son enjoyed kayaking in the pond and my husband even caught fish bass and bluegill. Sleeping under the beautiful stars was the best part, We had the best time and highly recommend.

Views were beautiful. A little weird to be in someone’s back yard, but they were amazing. Not awkward at all
