Ascension Ranch is an off-grid paradise with a unique and ever growing list of features and activities. Family owned and operated, we want to be that breath of fresh air from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life that everyone needs. With a serene environment, a healthy mix of farm animals, and good old fashion ranch activities, there's a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy. Some of the things you'll come across at Ascension Ranch include baby farm animals, sheep, goats, cattle, horses, ranch dogs, chickens, equestrian activities, hiking, biking, camping, archery, lake activities, amazing views, access to endless trails around Folsom Lake, grass-fed meats, fresh produce and of course, good company. Staying on the ranch can be as social, or as rural as guests choose. Camp alone, or bring others, whether it be your 4-legged companions or friends and family, we welcome all campers who respect and enjoy the great outdoors as much as we do.

The land out there is absolutely beautiful, so quiet you can hear the wildlife around you. No light pollution at night so the sky is amazing! I loved that there were animals free roaming the property - I'm actually afraid of horses, but these guys were incredibly sweet, the chickens were hilariously following me as I walked by the coop, and the guardian dog - Cairo practically adopted my anxious dog as he escorted us about. We didn't stay as long as originally planned due to my dog seeming a bit stressed with her first camping experience. But the owners were incredibly nice and even helped me jump my car battery after it died. I will definitely go back, hopefully with a less nervous dog.

Pros: Amazing view, tons of privacy and large campsite at the end of a road so no through traffic. Cons: site was not picked up/checked prior to our arrival. Pile of garbage on the picnic table and around the campsite. Water to flush portapotty didn’t work. In October, lake was very low so it would have been a very long hike to the lake.

Loved the doggos and kittens on the property! The bathroom and trash bins made the experience more enjoyable.

When we were there is wasn't crowded at all. Loved the animals, rope swings and old wind-mill. Will stay here again. Thanks!

Solid place to use as a backup when the Peninsula Campground is closed for repairs (like it was this year). However, the day use area was still open, so we basically had a private lakeside beach for the day. Bathrooms/water are a bit of a walk from the Lakeview Terrace campsite. As such, plan your morning poops unless you're willing to dig a hole, and maybe bring some jugs to top off your water supplies. If you actually want to see Folsom lake from this campsite, plan on attending in spring/early summer, otherwise the lake will be too low. Lastly, Anna Banana (the dog) is a big old sweetie and will do a damn fine job of making sure your campsite is varmint free. Overall, solid experience. 8/10, would recommend.
