Orchard & Pine Trees Camping
We had a wonderful stay at Fern Valley Ranch! Nice little farm with a beautiful walk to a waterfall. Our campsite was surrounded by an orchard of orange trees. The amenities were clean and always maintained. We had so much fun! Thank you for having us :)

Huge sites, clean amenities and the loveliest host/caretakers to deal with! We loved the fruit trees, walk to the waterfall & feeding the animals. Will definitely be back again!
