Fairly easy to find if you follow the directions on Hipcamp. It is tucked away off Rattlesnake Bar Rd. When we arrived we passed through a secure gate and into a common area with a few buildings and a large open space to park momentarily. There were bundles of wood for sale and portable restrooms. We were greeted by Kyro, a lovely and massive shepherd dog, who came down from his flatbed perch across from the chicken coup to say hello. After giving him a few pets we headed to the campsite which was through another secure gate and into a large pasture with trees. We followed the trail and the hosts directions about a 1/4 mile in and came to our campsite. Within about an hour of arriving, we were slowly surrounded by five horses. They seemed to know that we were hiding carrots which we were and that was a good thing. My daughter was thrilled to say the least. This was a fun spot for a quick one night getaway. There’s a lot of horse poop around but we shoveled it away easily and made up our tent and camp. It’s on a bit of a slope but it was doable. The picnic bench is large and great. Bathrooms are back at the entrance area which is a good walk and probably better to drive to. The management said they were working on getting closer toilets installed. We camped in February 2025 and it was green and pretty. Would go back again with more carrots of course 😄

My friends and I had the loveliest weekend getaway at Ascension Ranch. The hosts were kind and their details thorough, the campsite was clean and the scenery was gorgeous. The best part, of course, was the critters: horses, cows, chickens, cats, and puppies were free to roam. You couldn't give these animals a better place to live if you tried.
We will be back next Spring!

We had the best time here! The hosts were so helpful, welcoming and kind. The land is absolutely beautiful and remote - perfect for a country escape. If you’re an animal lover, this place is paradise: puppies, horses and chickens. And beautiful sunsets and sunrises.

Eagles nest looked great but was rained out. The hosts graciously gave us another site. It was great!!

Omg such an amazing experience I’ll never forget! Just as we were getting ready to lay down A group of horses wandered up to our campsite & we got to pet them. Beautiful piece of land. Walked down to the lake for a picnic. Great host, quick reply’s & good communication, easy directions.
This is a MUST BOOK!
