Meet our beautiful Friesian stallion! INCREDIBLE photo ops! We have huge open spaces for turning large RV's and horse trailers with living quarters around and many huge shade trees to park under. WE DO NOT HAVE 30amp electrical hook ups but have had many large RV's turn off their hot water heaters and use propane on their fridges and the 20 amp circuit was plenty to power the rest of their RV.

A treasured diversion from reality

3 m travel trailer

What a great experience! My wife has always been crazy about horses. I was looking for a place to stay while we were in the area for her father's funeral. I thought Holly's place would be perfect. It was! During the small windows of time that we were able to be at the camp, she was visiting horses. I arranged a riding lesson with Mary Blake which took place as we were about to head home. She said it was a better experience than she could have ever imagined under the circumstances. Thank you Holly!

RVs of all sizes will appreciate the easy access and ample parking available, allowing for a hassle-free stay amidst the beauty of the ranch. Holly was attentive and quick to respond to all inquiries. She even allowed me to ship my Amazon packages there. The highlight, of course, were the stunning horses, whose grace and beauty never failed to mesmerize me. I stayed at the ranch an entire week. To my surprise a foal was born a couple days into my stay. For solo female travelers like myself, safety is paramount, and Sun Valley Arabians Horse Camp provided a reassuring environment. Whether exploring the ranch or simply enjoying the company of the horses, there's a sense of security and peace of mind that comes with the facilities. In essence, Sun Valley Arabians Horse Camp offers a sanctuary where travelers can reconnect with nature and create lasting memories.

Overall this was an interesting experience, but I will probably not return to this camp. I used to have horses so I know what a "horse farm" is. I did not expect to be camping within a few feet of the barns!! With the acreage listed, I somehow thought the camp area would be a little away from the horse stalls. All of the RV "sites" were in the immediate area of the active busy horse use area. With that said, Holly and all of the wranglers at the horse farm were friendly and respectful to us as well as the horses they were caring for. I would recommend this to anyone traveling with their horses.

Nice host..ok camp.

The host, Holly was very nice. The horses were beautiful. My arrival was a bit awkward. A guy pulled up next to me asking if he could help me. He looked displeased. I thought maybe I was at the wrong place. Told him I booked the camp through hicamp. He still looked displeased and drove off. I booked this location because the listing included showers, a kitchen area and bathroom. To access the Wi-Fi you have to walk about a block to the main house and stand in front of the house to connect. It doesnt work in the camp area. The bathroom, kitchen and shower (hoses used to wash the horses - no privacy) were in pretty rough shape and not usable. With a bit of work to bring this place up to speed, it can be an amazing hipcamp. You're on a farm so expect to constantly be swatting tons of flies out of your rig and be aware there is no tree coverage (a struggle in the extreme heat.)

Great place to stay!

The farm is amazing. We stayed three full weeks. It’s a beautiful peaceful place to kick back. Very quite. We were the only RVers there the entire time. The electrical box is 20amp but managed to run our 30amp ac if we turned off the electric water heater and ran the fridge on propane.
