Great!
Great camp spot! Luckily, there was only one other campsite taken, so we felt very secluded. Awesome that it was walking distance to town! It wasn’t the most majestic HipCamp that I have stayed at, but it had everything we needed and I would stay again if I am looking for a spot in the area

Depends what you're looking for
We were the only campers there that night and our dogs loved the spot, however, the pictures and website of the Meadows were misleading. There are no farm animals, and while there ARE many lavender bushes, it seems the farm is nonfunctional and hasn't been used in a while. There was running water and a sink to do dishes, and the outdoor shower worked (we didn't use it--too cold); there was a porta potty but there were many spiders, including black widows, and so many spiderwebs in the toilet/seat itself that we did not use it. Tons of fox tails and the grass was in need of tending.
If you just need a place to crash and don't mind the unkempt feel, it's great. If you're expecting farm life and a more active campground, look elsewhere.

Peaceful Meadow near the Delta
We booked on the day of our stay, got a quick reply assuring us that there was space, and arrived in the evening. We bought a box of firewood with our reservation and really enjoyed a nice big fire ring and a nice picnic table at our site (I honestly don’t know the site # since we were the only campers and were told we could pick any site.) Nice accent lights came on at dark, but unfortunately so did a big spotlight from a building next door, by the baseball field. It was a peaceful meadow to watch the moon rise and set and very quiet. We didn’t need to check out the toilets so I can’t speak to their quality.

No Farm Animals. No Lavender. Windy

It’s a large, flat field that’s next to a busy road, a baseball field, and a Jehovah’s Witness Church. Another reviewer described this place best as a pass-through spot you stay at overnight on your way to your destination.
We brought our dogs and they allowed us use the old livestock enclosure (fully fenced) to let the pups play off-leash. There is no shade and the field is overflowing with foxtails (tis the season), but the dogs had fun.
Note: even though you’re near water, we were unable to find anywhere local for the dogs to swim. The nearby beach (Sandy Beach) doesn’t allow dogs and the locals warned us of possible giardia in the water.
There is no shade. Most of the picnic benches are warped. You’ll see and hear cars all night on the nearby road.
The winds were horrible with gusts up to 20+ mph, which kept knocking over the tent. We had to use our cars to help shield the wind. We were unable to cook dinner because it was too windy to use our camping stoves.

Pro’s:
The sunset was pretty. The host was super nice. We had the entire campground to ourselves. There was an outdoor shower, a sink and a porta potty (which seemed fine to me). The host was super responsive and helpful.

This campsite will suit you well if you’re looking for a spot to crash. No frills. Just a plain field in the middle of nowhere.

Beautiful sunset was the highlight
This is definitely not a campground, rather a place to pitch a tent. My family was just passing through the area, and we were happy to have views of the orchard next-door. I thought there would be farm animals, but maybe I misunderstood. Or maybe they were on vacation! This is more of a field that’s been smushed down, so we had stickers in all of our gear and clothes that are still showing up after our visit two weeks ago. There was a sink where I was able to do dishes, and because of the summer heat, it was nice to put my head under the water to cool off. There’s even a rustic shower that puts out cold water. One big porta potty available that hadn’t gotten some attention in a while. The camp host was very nice and let me choose between a couple different spaces to pitch my tent. I pre-paid for some wood, but it’s so windy in the evenings. I was kind of worried about sparks from my campfire, starting a brushfire in the field. Maybe I’m being a little paranoid, but it is the beginning of wildfire season…
