Great spot to relax and take in the scenery. The campsite was under a nice big tree (walnut tree - I think) and campsite was flat, trimmed, and cleared - great for tent camping! Although the weather was hot during the weekend I was there, there is a breeze that comes from the west in the afternoon. The location is also about 10-15 minutes from hikes and stores. It's great for those who want a quiet area, yet close enough to amenities. I was greeted by Edward who was welcoming and asked for if I need anything. Also saw him paragliding in the morning past the campground! He's super cool and a …
I loved setting up my tent beneath the tree—it offered plenty of shade and kept me cool despite the 80-degree weather. Edward was incredibly accommodating and helpful, which I especially appreciated since it was my first time camping on my own. Having the bathroom and shower nearby made the experience even more comfortable. If I return, I’ll definitely bring a large tarp to place under my tent so my dog can relax outside without collecting so much dry grass in his fur. Overall, it was the perfect spot for a short weekend getaway and exactly what I needed.
Great to be out under the stars in Edward’s field. Lots of animals to peek your curiosity when you wake up. Had a decent shower and bathroom yet we didn’t use the shower. Would stay there again.
Nice farm close to Gilroy Wine Farm country. Plus is use of bathroom.
While striking out on state and national campgrounds for a short overnight, Edward’s spot appeared on Hipcamp, which I’d never used before this. It was a basic good spot, not far off the freeway, but still charming with the noise and smells of nearby chickens, squirrels, goats, etc. It felt tucked away. Our random camp mates were wonderful, which was a big plus!
