Instagram: HirstRanch The price of camping includes the Ranch experiences of feeding the animals and collecting eggs. Our property is great for children! We have a trampoline, a tree house, a large livestock water trough that we use as a kiddie pool in summer, a great swing set, and room to play. We live on a quiet 10 acre property with trees that provide some shade, and all of our sites are near the horse pastures. You might hear horses nickering and chickens clucking. There is lots of room to walk or run around. A Treehouse is available for kids to play in, a trampoline to jump on, plus we have a 17 foot high swing for kids and adults alike! You can walk the property to observe the horses, or sign up for a special horse, tractor, or welding experience. Come camp in a very quiet and safe horse and farming area. We are near the end of a dead-end road. Our camping sites are somewhat private, some with more shade and others with more mid-day sun. We specialize in "Horse Experiences" tailored to your level of comfort and needs. None of the horse experiences listed on our site require any prior experience with horses. We will make sure you are safe and comfortable while working with the horses. *NOTE: Experiences are not available on Sundays (our sabbath day). We can fit them in on Saturday afternoon/evening for Saturday-night campers, or Monday morning for Sunday-night campers. We have a private bathroom with flush toilet and sink. Summertime brings hot days and (usually) cool nights to our area. It is not uncommon to experience 100 degree days in June, July and August. Most evenings cool down, thanks to the Delta Breeze, to around 60-70 degrees overnight. Wintertime brings cooler daytime temps (50-60 degrees) and colder night temps (30-40 degrees). We are located about 10 minutes from the Galt area, which has a large variety of Fast-food, as well as several nicer restaurants. There is also a Wal-Mart (with groceries) and a nice Supermarket. We are about 6 miles from 2 country stores in Herald and Wilton (with gas station). Sites accommodate up to 6 people, and you can add up to 2 more for an additional fee. If you need more than 8 people, then consider booking 2 or more sites. With horses and the activities we do with them, dogs are not allowed.

Site 5- Pasture
Wonderful!
Hirst Ranch does not disappoint! We had wonderful stay and took advantage of the extras and spent some time in the shop with Justin welding up our sons name out of horse shoes. Despite the reported hot weather in the area, the farm had a nice breeze in the evening and was pleasant.

Amazing Experience!
I express my deepest appreciation for the time and effort Justin and Christina dedicated to make our camp fun. I was there with my girl scouts troop and took horse riding lesson as well. I felt at home as the host was not restricting us to move around freely. Kids could swing, jump on the trampoline or just simply take a walk to watch the beautiful ranch. We hope we treated the place with respect.

Camping on a real family farm!
This is our second visit to the Hirst Horse Ranch and we are already planning to come back. On our last visit our son did a horse riding lesson, this time he forged with Justin. Nice location. Nice camp site. Awesome family.

Farm camping experience!
A glowing review for a great tent camping experience. From the moment we arrived Justin, his family, and their animals welcomed us. We travelled with other families and used site 1 as the base for cooking, eating, and camp fire. The site is big enough for a 6 person tent, 4 tables, and +10 chairs. There is firewood available for camp fires and a clean bathroom with flush. The farm has so many areas to explore. The kids built many memories playing and said it was magical. Do not miss out on horseback riding with Christina. Only wish we lived closer to be trained by her! We brought dogs and they enjoyed it. Note there are dogs and cats that live on the farm so make sure your dog gets on with other animals. Be mindful of your pet when on the farm. Can’t wait to come back next year.
