Flat open field next to a private oak studded dry creek bed that borders a vineyard. Enter the field through an open gate that is 14' wide and can handle any length trailer. Six wineries are nearby for wine tasting, (Tobin James, Ernest Hemmingway, Rio Seco, Penman Springs & Pear Valley Vineyard across the street). Paso Robles is a quaint old Western town that hosts the Mid-State Fair. Downtown Paso Robles is about 5 miles to the West and offers a variety of excellant restraurants, bars, a movie theatre, and shops that surround a large grassy park with large magnolia trees, a gazebo, museum and playground.
Camping at Darleene’s site offers a peaceful and private experience, highly appreciated by campers who enjoy self-sufficiency. The location is close to numerous wineries and provides a quiet retreat with simple, natural beauty. While some campers noted the lack of shade and narrow entry gate, others found the starry nights and wildlife sightings delightful. Darleene is consistently praised as a welcoming and helpful host, making visits pleasant and hassle-free.
This was a very peaceful, quiet, relaxed location in a cattle field (no cattle present!). Close to town, but in the country. Dark skies at night! I would be pleased to come here again. The host, Darleene, was very helpful!
This was our second time visiting site 1 on the property. It is fairly flat and large enough for our Jeep and off-road trailer. It is a peaceful and private site. The property is centrally located near many wineries. I would highly recommend this property. It is a hidden gem.
This property requires you to be self reliant/sufficient. If you are, this is an excellent property. Darleene met us at the site and chatted for a bit. She is a wonderful hostess. The campsite was clean, fairly level, quiet and very private. We camped 2 nights in a pop-up camper van, but the site would have easily accommodated a very large tent. Water was provided some distance away from our spot, but no electricity or toilet. This was not an issue for us as we had brought our own water, electricity, and toilet. No fires are allowed, but that is common in California. So we brought a Jackery and an electric hot plate for cooking - worked just fine. The property is just a short distance from many wineries. We visited Cass, Sculptera, Pear Valley and Sensorio. All were wonderful in their own way. We also went into town for a day and spent time tasting wine and olive oil. Our favorites were Cloak and Dagger for wine and Jeffrey’s BBQ for lunch. At the property, we saw wild rabbits, and heard an owl, a rooster and some cattle. We were told there are deer on the property, but we didn’t see or hear any. This property is just what we were hoping for and was perfect for us. We enjoyed it very much and plan to return so please don’t take “our” spot!!
We loved our stay at Site 1. It was large with a good flat area. It was very peaceful, private and close to town and wineries. Darleene was a great host. She was friendly and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back.
