Great location and peace & quiet!
We ALWAYS love staying at the Walnut Grove - so peaceful yet close to both Solvang and Los Olivos. This trip we actually walked next door for a tasting at Rideau Vineyards which Mike and Anne have on their info sheet, and it was fantastic!

Absolutely Charming!
This experience exceeded our expectations and we were charmed by the thoughtful touches that Mike and Anne added to this campsite.
We stayed in the smaller of the two sites, the Chandler. It is the furthest from the road, which we appreciated. Upon arrival we found a pristine and welcoming campsite. They included a picnic table with an umbrella, a bench swing, two Adirondack chairs with comfy pillows, a fire pit with walnut (what else?!) firewood, and a clean trashcan, ready to go with a liner. If you can a lot, you know that little things like that make a difference. On top of that, each item had been wiped down and was free from dust, cobwebs and bugs. So thoughtful! As a regular camper I’m always ready to do that on my own!
They also left us a small bag of roasted walnuts to snack on (delish!), an order form if we wanted to buy any additional homemade snacks or bread, a be a list of things to do in the area.
We always bring little strands of lights for our trailer, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the campsite came with solar lights in the trees which turned on at dusk automatically, so we had wonderful ambient lighting beyond our own. We will be bookmarking this campsite and plan to return again soon. Highly recommend!

Our Perfect Weekend Getaway
Our weekend at Ballard Walnut Grove did not disappoint. It has become a favorite weekend getaway to relax and unwind! So much to do and see if you want to get out, but also quiet relaxation if that’s what you want.
No hookups or bathrooms but beauty and quiet surround you! So you do need to be a self contained RV or Trailer, so keep that in mind.
Our hosts Anne and Mike are always welcoming and helpful with any questions. They also are very knowledgeable about the history and the area! Every visit we learn a bit more!
We will definitely be back!
