Twisselman's - Entire Pond Property
Adriane and Ethan are fantastic hosts! We rented the entire ranch along with the Cactus House and couldn’t have chosen a better place for our group of 14. The pond was incredible, with a few of us enjoying the boats. Adriane and Ethan were also very attentive to any requests, whether it was for ice or anything else. The bathrooms and showers were spotless, and the views were breathtaking. We had a great time cooking in the kitchen and grilling at the Cactus House with the BBQ equipment. We enjoyed some of the best dinners during our stay. And don’t forget the nighttime fire pits where we roasted marshmallows—it was such an unforgettable experience!

Peaceful setting, comfy lodging, nice bathrooms, close enough to Paso Robles, Carrizo National Monument & beach. Very minimal kitchen (no fridge access, plates, utensils). Cooking was a bit tricky.

Oasis with amazing amenities
We had a great time camping. This place had amazing amenities. The newly updated bathroom and shower facilities were some of the nicest we have ever seen while camping. The pond was really nice and the fishing was great. We will definitely be back.

Twisselman Pond
Great car camping spot
The pond was lovely and we enjoyed the sounds of the birds during the day and frogs at night. The “kitchen” tent was well set up for grilling and washing dishes. Toilets and showers were clean (or so my friend said). Would be a great place for a group.
