All to yourself

99% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

The L3 Ranch was founded in 1974 when my grandfather bought the property for his show cows. In 1978, someone gave him a racehorse to pay off a debt. From then on, the property was known for its Quarter horse race horses, with some of the best in the state being born right here. In 2013 he found our he had cancer and handed the ranch down to me, Travis. While he survived the cancer, he's happy in retirement playing cards with his buddies every week and hanging out with his dog. Now the ranch is known for its horse boarding, cattle, and goats. We even hold weddings and events at the lake sometime. My main goal is to bring the ranch in a more in line with sustainable ranching. Its a process, but I love what I am doing, and where the ranch is going.Enjoy a private lake to yourself. We will now be keeping only one site open and it is at the lake. A BBQ, firepit, and boats await you for a nice relaxing weekend and you will find that even on hot days there is a nice breeze that helps keep heat down. Plus your dogs (and you, too!) will enjoy taking a dip in the lake and cooling off on the grass. A friendly reminder, we are a working ranch, so during harvest (anytime from August through October) you might hear and see equipment being used to harvest the grapes, walnuts, and almonds; there will be higher levels dust at these times.

Amazing and beautiful land. Easy to find and access. Very spacious. My dogs had a lot of fun running around. Love the boats available to borrow and the shaded kitchen area. Host met us and showed us our spot. He was very kind and responsive. Place felt pretty private, except you can hear some of the other dogs from far away homes. Also since it’s a working farm, there was a horse with a handler and another instance some kids on a vehicle passed by on the road to the campsite, so these things may remind you it’s not quite secluded. Didn’t bother us as the rest of the time we were left alone to enjoy the beautiful site. Would highly recommend.

Our group had a great experienced and we would love to come back. The camp site is on a beautiful lake with boats to take out. The kitchen is overlooking the lake and has a roof with a nice propane grill and even a small fridge. It was nice to have flush toilets too. Really an ideal place for families with kids. Travis, the host, was very welcoming and accommodating. Thank you Travis for your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful land with us!

I love Travis' place! He's super responsive to your needs if you call him for something and you also get privacy for your group while you're there. Amenity upgrades like the refrigerator/freezer make this a very good camping experience to bring folks who aren't used to the outdoors. This place is so unique and great.

Stunning property

Tent · With pets

The only thing better than the stunning views and immaculate property was the host. Travis met us upon arrival and was so kind and friendly. He gave a tour of the amenities, which far exceeded our expectation, and offered to be a quick phone call away if we needed anything. Our visit was positively memorable and we hope to be back!

Perfect place for group camping

Tent · With kids

Such a beautiful place. Travis was super helpful. The place had so much activity to do. We had the whole place all by ourselves. Definitely a must for group camping.
