We have 155 acres of the Sierra foothills just ~12 minutes from downtown Murphys. This is a working farm where we specialize in cut flowers and also grow a little food. When available we offer bouquets/eggs/veggies as an add-on. We also have plenty of firewood to scavenge or you can buy a nice stack of dry oak. There are a few different listings, so make sure to read the details on your specific listing! -Soup Kitchen -End of The Driveway -1 Pine -2 Pine -Bus -Camper There’s the Soup Kitchen which has 3 sites listed but there are a bunch of good tent spots available. The End of The Driveway is one big site for buses/RVs/big vans next to the Soup Kitchen. 1 Pine and 2 Pine are up a separate driveway on the ridge. Then there’s the bus and camper, which are located in the main part of our property when you pull into the driveway. This is also where the camp host can usually be found. The 1st area to park/camp is the “Soup Kitchen” near the flower garden where you can enjoy an outdoor shower, kitchen space and established fire pit (see pics of the Soup Kitchen). This area is down the driveway a couple hundred yards from where we usually are so you’ll more or less be on your own, depending on if we have work to do down there or if there are other campers. We are happy to chat or leave you be, just let us know what your needs are. If you’re looking for a more isolated spot, see the listings for 1 Pine or 2 Pine. The 2nd area is “1 Pine” accessed by our second driveway that is 100 yards down the road from the farm. The driveway is kind of rough but definitely manageable with a truck, SUV or sedan if you’re willing to go for it. The drive goes up a couple hundred yards to the hilltop where there is a clearing and, you guessed it, 1 pine tree. From the back of the clearing there is a trail that leads you to 2 Pine, which is a walk that takes just a few minutes. 2 Pine is walk-in only but has great views of the sunset and is totally secluded and private and would be a good spot to either bring some friends for a little sunset party or for someone who wants to seriously unplug. There are plenty of flat spots to pitch a tent. **if you are a teacher or Pacific Crest Trail hiker let us know! We are happy to offer a discount :)We have a 77’ Gillig bus that has a serious retro feel! It has a queen bed, table, some shelving, a clothes rack and a cool antique dresser. I’m not trying to class this thing up too much and charge a bunch for it. This is for people that want something unique and are easy to please! It does have a power strip, lamp, fan, and a bunch of cool books about homesteading. The bus is parked in the “campus” so you will most likely see wwoofers (volunteer farm helpers) or our family, so a half naked 2 year old might come cruising by sometime- or one of our cats. The bonus to being in the campus is that you’re surrounded by my gardens and landscaping and close proximity to the shower and kitchen, both of which you are welcome to use, just as long as you leave them better than you found them. For those who do have kids, there is also a fold out couch/bed in the bus and there’s a play area nearby with swings, slide and even a little tree fort! The drive is 12 minutes from Murphys and about 10 to the Arnold Rim Trail access on Fullen Rd.

1 Pine Car Camping

Amazing host

Ben is an amazing guy super understanding, I booked pine 1 the night before I was headed up and unfortunately was not able to make it. Because of this I asked Ben if there was any chance of a refund, he didn’t think twice before trying to help me get a refund and was super helpful and kind! I will definitely be booking another trip here soon, I was recommended by a friend who said the views were breathtaking.

Extended My Stay Twice

4.5/5 stars. I would recommend Mighty Farm & Camp to a friend. I had a pleasant experience and the hosts were friendly. Do be sure to expect roosters crowing, beginning around 6am!
