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. :)

The campsite offers a charming and secluded experience, perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in nature. Reviewers appreciated the privacy of the campsites and the stunning views, particularly at The Range. The presence of friendly farm animals added a unique touch to the stay, while amenities like clean composting toilets and accessible water spigots were noted. Some guests mentioned the challenging road conditions, suggesting that wet weather could pose difficulties, but overall, the site's beauty and tranquility were frequently praised.

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.

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

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.

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.

Great spot! Quite exposed

Great campsite! We’d come back again and the location is pretty epic. Hosts were responsive and sold us lots of great firewood. Only small downside is that this campsite is incredibly exposed at the top of a mountain. It would be lovely on calm nights but unfortunately we had quite a storm and our tents got battered. Not the fault of the campsite, but just worth flagging it for future users.
