    Such a fun experience! Memorable, morning trail ride with a nice little group of horse lovers. Very knowledgeable staff that emphasized safety and kindness to these awesome, sensitive animals. They allowed time and took pics on horses halfway through the ride, and after the ride to hang out w/the horses, mini donkeys, and ranch doggie. We hope to go back and maybe be brave enough to not wear helmets next time. If you can, remember to bring full-sized carrots to feed the horses. I recommend booking well ahead of time, bc it's a bit more complicated than just buying tix online. But once you're scheduled, everything goes very smoothly. P.S. Christine is a very gassy old mare - which helped ease our nerves a bit - we loved her sassy self :)

    The best priced ride around! Two hours in the beautiful hills with an ocean view! The horses were HUGE but calm and the trail guides full of helpful information. We would go again!

    It's been a dream of mine to ride a Clydesdale since I was a little girl. Yesterday my husband and I went on the most amazing trail ride with Tara and her beautiful Clydesdales! It was my husbands very first time riding and she put him on the sweetest mare Maple who took great care of him. I have years of riding experience but it's been a decade since I had ridden but Belle was perfect for my riding abilities. It was the perfect weather and the best experience ever if you've never ridden, or been riding your whole life! Before we even got off our horses my husband was already asking me when we can go back. 10/10 definitely will be coming back for years to come

    Tara is helpful and kind to guests and the love she has for her animals is evident. We were introduced to the saddle and provided instructions and assistance to get up on the beautiful horses. All the animals were gentle and well behaved. The ride even included a gallop- yippee! Instructions were also provided along the trail by both Tara and her assistant Cloie. The views were amazing. After we were welcomed to pet the mules and 2 baby clysdales. When the saddles were taken off the horses, it was so cute to watch them actually walk themselves back to their corral. A beautiful place, run by a thoughtful and smart lady and family. Go for a ride. There's a dirt road so don't wash your car before you go!

    Amazing ride... the girls were super nice and helpful and learning how to ride the big horses. The views were spectacular! A great ride for all ages. We got to pet the horses and the mini donkeys, dogs and cats. Got our dose of animals!

    What an amazing experience! If you have the chance to ride a Clydesdale on Covell Ranch you better take it. Super fun, easy and the views are amazing. My 6 year old granddaughter had the best time and we made a great memory when she visited me. Park at the gate and Tara Covell Key will come and get you. From there it is all a great experience. She also has an option for people to ride in a wagon so everyone can enjoy an experience seeing the beautiful ranch and the huge herd of Clydesdales. Well worth the cost.

    Tara and Chloe were the best ever trail guides. The horses were amazing, fun and easy to ride. The ranch itself is magical...we didn't want to leave! Do yourself a favor and ride a Clydesdale at Covell Ranch. You'll be glad you did. Worth every penny!

    I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Covell's Ranch! I have loved Clydesdales since I was a child and when I found out we could actually ride them I booked immediately. We had a wonderful time and our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, and helped everyone feel comfortable and safe. I can't wait to go back!

    Tara and Sydney are amazing guides and hosts. They took us on a beautiful trail ride on the Clydesdale horses. Totally recommend going and doing a ride.

    Such a fun and unique experience! The horses are trained not to graze on trail and are easy and fun to ride. They gave just the right amount of instruction before matching riders with appropriate horses. You get to trot for a little portion of the out and back trail that was still green and gorgeous when I went. Booking is done via text and bring cash the day of the ride if you want to avoid a credit card fee. I also loved meeting the free roaming donkey and the dogs that want you to throw rocks for them to fetch. A super sweet bonus was the Clydesdale foal I got to give scritches to. Really rooting for the success of family business. They care about their animals, train them well and are so nice.

    I highly recommend! We took my sister here for her bachelorette party and it was the highlight of everyone's weekend. Tara was incredible. Her horses are well trained and safe for all levels. The ranch was beautiful! We enjoyed interacting with all the beautiful horses and Pancho, the mini donkey.

    Views of the ocean from the halfway point of the tide. We stopped and took lots of photos before heading back.

    Is there a weight limit for the rider to ride on the Clydesdale? Do you need horseback riding…

    Their website says 300 pound limit

    Hi, can you run horses?

    No, they don't run the clydesdales. If you run them it is not a smooth graceful run according to the tour guides. Enjoy your ride, we did.

You check in at the main office downtown, then hop on a tour bus to the ranch property. Our driver was super informative and entertaining along the way. The drive itself felt like part of the experience with bumpy ranch roads, multiple gates, gorgeous scenery, and a real behind the scenes feel of the property. Once you arrive, the staff gets you geared up with all the safety equipment and everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and great with all ages. After gearing up, you take an old Army style jeep up the mountain and that ride alone was an adventure Super rickety, steep, and fun! We felt very safe the entire time because before every single zip line, the staff carefully checked everyone's safety gear and connections. There are 6 zip lines total and each one is different with spectacular views that change throughout the course. One thing to know is that you should be in reasonably good shape because there are mini hikes between some of the zip lines. There are lots of water stations along the course, which was great, but the experience is definitely active and you do not want to hold up the group. Totally worth it though and such a memorable Central Coast adventure for families, couples, teens, and adventurous kids!

This State Park has a day-use area and two campgrounds: Washburn Day Use Area, San Simeon Creek Campground and the more primitive Washburn Campground. San Simeon Creek Campground is closer to the ocean; Washburn Campground is about a mile or two inland, overlooking the Santa Lucia mountains. The day-use area is open from 8AM to sunset, and is easily accessed from Highway 1, has picnic sites, parking, restrooms, water faucets, barbecue grills, and easy beach access (unless you are a dog...) One star down from an excellent rating for two reasons: The beach, sadly, is NDA (no dogs allowed), and the day use picnic tables are located next to the highway.
