Fern Valley Ranch offers a well-maintained and picturesque campground, perfect for families and nature lovers alike. The site features spacious and clean facilities, with the added bonus of a stunning waterfall walk. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful caretakers, as well as the unique experience of being surrounded by animals. While most reviews are positive, one noted an issue with the toilet facilities at "The Pines" and a roaming dog, which didn't receive a prompt response from the caretaker.

Orchard & Pine Trees Camping

It is a well maintained location, and has privacy. I really enjoyed camping here. Even if we had a rainy weather, the paddock maintained its structure and didn’t get muddy.

It is a nice place—a big farm with lots of animals. I love cows feeding on oranges.
