Perfect Getaway with Private Creek
Ode to Confluence Ranch
We had the most glorious stay at Confluence Ranch! The tiny house was perfectly suited to our needs, with plenty of thoughtful additions to make the stay even better. The AC was heaven-sent for afternoon naps in the intense heat this time of year. The hammock was perfect for napping. The outdoor bath gazing at the stars at night was otherworldly. Make sure to explore all the different creek paths AND take the longer walk to the swimming hole! Bring some shade if you have it and a chair as it’s hot and sunny and the “beach” is rocky. But it’s absolutely worth the gorgeous setting and magical waters. The small waterfall was an amazing shoulder massage. We didn’t run into ticks, but plenty of mosquitoes around sunset. So bring protection. And the composting toilets were easy to use. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing how the property evolves!

RIGHT PLACE, WRONG TIME
Really beautiful property with lots of little stream spots and natural beauty near camp. Unfortunately for us it was the wrong time of year for a visit with our dogs. Way too hot, tons of foxtails and tons of ticks. We had two dogs and my niece pulled more than 10 Ticks off of her pup. The first day before we even went exploring beyond camp she had several ticks so they clearly are everywhere. And the foxtails were everywhere as well. We would come back again but at a different time of year. Host was super responsive and the little hut is functional and cute.

We loved camping on Joe’s land! The seclusion, trails to the creek, and amenities were incredible. The mini disc golf course was a nice surprise as were a few other great features on the land. 10/10 would recommend and we will be back soon!

Another wonderful visit!
Another wonderful stay at this Hipcamp! After visiting in March, I had to book again because it is such a lovely property. Joe is a great host and the property is beautiful, especially down by the creek. We had a great time playing on the rocks by one of the ‘swimming holes’. It’s so peaceful falling asleep listening to the sounds of the water. I highly recommend a stay here if you’re looking for seclusion and nature.

We loved our weekend. Stay at this amazing location! Easy walks to multiple locations along the rivers edge. Amazing little swimming holes and peaceful areas. A great set up for a weekend to really enjoy the beauty all around. Host was amazing and responsive would definitely stay here again!

A perfect creekside spot
The property is beautiful and natural. It’s perfect for anyone wanting solitude and relaxation. There are a few spots to access the creek close to the tiny home, however, the views are spectacular if you walk to the end of the main road. Give yourself some time to explore. I especially enjoyed soaking in the outdoor bathtub under the night sky. My only suggestion to a guest is to bring an extra blanket (we were glad to have our sleeping bags with us to supplement the duvet that is provided). The nights were cool while we were there but that’s to be expected in March. Plenty of firewood is provided but you’ll need some kindling/seasoned wood to get a fire going. Overall, I highly recommend this host and Hipcamp! I can’t wait to come back!
