Lily is an absolutely incredible camp host. Her site is pristine and offers everything one might need. We rented the entire property for me and 24 of my girlfriends and it was paradise for a situation like that!! When a ton of us camp, it can be really difficult finding the perfect spot with enough space, privacy, and accommodations. But red dragonfly ranch has it all— Freshly cleaned / restored porta potties (we were so impressed by how good they smelled and how clean they were), hot running showers, a handwashing station. They offer a 5-burner grill, options for extra propane. Communal picni…
Site was as advertised. Charming and Peaceful. The facilities were very clean. Beautiful spot and just what we needed to unwind from the daily grind and just unplug and not worry about our work for the weekend. Looking forward to have a bigger group at some point. We visited the other campsites and they were very nice as well.
I loved this campground! I will definitely seek it out again next time I need a getaway. I originally booked site 1, but when Lily offered to let me choose another site when I arrived, I chose site 7.

Lily was super attentive and communicated promptly, she’s great! I felt safe as a solo camper just looking for a place to be close to nature and content to Be in the quiet. Leo the groundskeeper was friendly and thoughtfully checked in with me to make su…
We loved this campsite! Incredibly clean, amazing location. Highly recommend to everyone.
An absolutely beautiful and well-kept site! The sounds of the creek (which include frogs croaking) will lull you right to sleep. Leo, the groundskeeper, was very welcoming and kind! As mentioned in another review, we were the only campers so Lily and Leo allowed us to roam around and pick any campsite. We booked site #1 but I believe we wound up around site #7! The outdoor shower was very nice and the string/fairy lights, that are scattered around the area, are also a plus. We will definitely be back!
