A lil' bit of history: To those of you who have taken the time to visit & read our website, we would like to share some background information on Vel Terra Ranch. We purchase this property in 1988 and have been improving it ever since. Every business has its story and certainly we do as well. Originally intended as a horse boarding/camping facility where people would have seasonal sites, board their horses and be the "weekend cowboy". Not materializing, we gradually ended up developing the camping aspect to where we are now. At this point Vel Terra's main focus is family enjoyment and relaxation. We are small enough to be very personable, but large enough to provide the basic amenities of comfort, convenience, and pleasure. What Vel Terra provides is a place to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature, roomy RV and tent sites, patio off the reception area, many outdoor games to use, same rates midweek, as weekends & holidays, picnic tables at each tent and RV site with fire rings, clean and modern bathrooms and showers. Come and camp with us and see what we're all about!
Well, I'm sad and on the other hand a bit relieved the camping season has reach its ending destination! Sad, because we met sooooo many wonderful people and exchanged a number of camping stories while making new friendships! But on the "other hand" relieved that it has reached its end because now we can sit down and plan our 2012 season and maybe put into place some of the great ideas we received.
Everyone will be busy between now and Christmas, scurrying around decorating, baking, shopping and whatever else people enjoy doing during this most wonderous time of year. Shopping has officially kicked-off with the infamous "black Friday" shopping sprees.
No matter how busy, please remember to keep checking in on us to see what is happening. Even though we will be thinking about and preparing for the RV Show in February, we will also be thinking about you and what we can do to make your camping experiences more enjoyable. (Sorry, can't do anything with the weather, that's His department!!)
"I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year. And thus I drift along into the holidays - let them overtake me unexpectedly - waking up some fine morning and suddenly saying to myself: "Why, this is Christmas Day!" ~David Grayson
So we would like to spread a little Christmas throughout the summer for you as well, and provide someplace where you can wake up and hear the birds singing, the winds whispering, and blue, blue skies above. Come join us at Vel Terra Ranch! Be back soon, Sharon
