We stopped here on our way to Southern California. There were only a few other rvs on this night. One pleasant surprise was the "convenience" store near the gas station. In addition to ready to eat sandwiches and salads, you could get barbecue or other items at the hot bar. My husband got the trip and this vegetarian got a burrito. We took our food back to the rv to eat. Delicious. We'll definitely stop here again.

We stopped here very conveniently on our way north through California, and had one of the best overnight stops to date. It’s got everything your usual truck stop has plus their delicious food on the go. It also has three different sit down restaurants on the premises. A reservation only restraurant, an adults olny restraurant with a bar, and the family friendly less expensive option. We ate at the adults only one for dinner on the night we arrived and were blown away with the incredibly fresh ingredients and food cooked to perfection. The family friendly breakfast was also delicious and much more reasonably priced. We chose to park in the dusty parking lot do to the size of our rig, and there are semi trucks coming and going. Despite the dust we will stop back on our way south for a delicious meal. And as others have said it is a well lit compound that has security rolling around the lots regularly.

Great place to stay... very clean and friendly. We were one of about 20 RV s here that night. Site is hotel parking lot with no hookups but can get free unsecured WiFi from the hotel.Shell station on site, though the gas was about .70 a gallon higher than nearby Flying J. A couple of places to eat, the restaurant which is business casual and the bbq express in the Shell station. Had some great smoked brisket. It is kept very clean, which includes staff cleaning the parking lot with gas powered leaf blowers at 7:00 am. I would definitely stay again.

No issues! I even verified the free overnight camping with restaurant management (Feb 2018). Felt safe with friendly security. Clean and well lit area. Free WiFi (no password req’d) and decent cell reception as well. Easy access to highway 5. A little noise from 198 but not bad. Also an occasional plane landing at the small nearby runway but quiet after dark. The food at Harris Ranch is delicious with a range from bakery treats to family dining to a formal steak house. The gas station next door has fuel and propane. LOCATION: The two rows specified as approved for overnight rv parking are located between the restaurant and the hotel. They are near the back of the parking lot and have small green and white signs that read “RV and Trailer Parking Permitted”. The signs do not mention anything about overnight parking, but per security these are in fact the correct two rows. They are just regular parking spaces so park across as many of them as you need while leaving space for other rigs to come in. We were here on a Friday night in February and the rows did not fill up. Thank you to Harris Ranch for allowing us to stay here.

We will definitely stop here again next time we pass through. We also told all our friends and family, especially those without RV’s, to stop here as the restaurant, bakery, candy, and gift shop were amazing. Harris Ranch does it right by allowing Rv’s to park overnight. We would have driven right by had it not been for their RV hospitality. :)

One other trailer and a van it was a Thursday night so I'm guess Friday-Sunday might be hard to get a spot. Super clean and quiet felt safe which is always a plus. Gas and propane at the station.
Had breakfast at Harris. Kinda spendy so i would recomend the bakery to pay it forward. Good coffee.
Easy access to 5 freeway.

When we arrived around 6:00 the RV section was pretty full. We checked with the restaurant and then then the hotel. They were very nice and said to just pull around back of the hotel as there was plenty of room.
We found a great spot next to the pet area. About 9:45 we get a knock on the door from security- you can't park here. He was very pleasant but insisted we move regardless what the hotel staff told us earlier. Luckily we found a spot that we "almost" fit into.
To clarify, there are two rows with RV parking signs. According to security, this is the only place you can park overnight.
We appreciated the free night.

The entire staff is Freindly and I was happy to drop some cash in the bar and a fanatic Prime Rib dinner. Well worth the price as I would have paid this much in a pay park. Quiet and safe. RVs park between hotel and restaurant not with the big trucks.

This is parking lot overnighting at its best. Harris Ranch is really welcoming to RVers stopping in for the night to catch some rest, and it's close to the highway but far enough that highway noise isn't bothersome. Parking lot is well lit and monitored by security, which is comforting. Nice to have restrooms nearby, and they had free wifi that was really fast that could be accessed right from the parking lot! Cell reception was great as well, both Verizon and AT&T tested.
Of course, this is parking lot camping, so we stayed self-contained and kept to ourselves and were on our way first thing in the morning (after having breakfast at Harris Ranch). Important to maintain courtesy so places like this will continue to let RVers overnight here.
