Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

This was our first camping trip as a family and we had a great experience. The sunset and sunrise views were beautiful. The campsites were well spaced out and clean. Definitely going back again!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

Great place to camp. If you have a long hair dog, check for stickers

Weekend Trip to The Olive Farm

You would never guess that you're in Novato. Sam has designed a minimal but magical hipcamp that feels like a hidden treasure. I recommend camping here in the spring/early summer when everything is vibrant green! We celebrated my birthday with an outdoor feast and made flower crowns. We also found a teeny tiny frog. Very cute. Sam was highly responsive and allowed me to add on the cabin last minute when I found out it was 100% chance of rain that night. What a guy!

1 night at The Ranch at Cross Road

The site was nice. Nice soft grass and a really nice shower and a kitchen sink set up.

1 night at The Ranch at Cross Road

Open space and nice view. Did not use any amenities as we are self contained. Dog approved lots of space for walks

Weekend Trip to Sandmound Oakley Delta Waterfront

We brought kids to this place for a camping night over the weekend. This is a private lot near water with a private dock. It was clean and has neat backyard with firepit. It has some free wood to set up the campfire. Host David was very responsive on all the questions. We brought a canoe with us and enjoyed the beautiful views over the rivers.

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

I was pleasantly surprised to be able to find such an amazing campsite right in the Bay Area. The land is incredibly beautiful and can accommodate a large number of people while giving everyone enough space to feel like they’re having their own private experience. I will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

This was our second time camping on Matt's land. We enjoy it in the Springtime before the heat sets in and the surrounding hills are still green. The campsites are well marked and spread out enough that even with a relatively busy weekend, we still felt like we had our privacy. The bathroom is still a nice feature. Large and well maintained. I'm sure we'll be back again!

3 nights at The Ranch at Cross Road

The Ranch was PERFECT for us! We had such a good time in March 2025. The host Matt was very communicative, and answered questions very quickly. I really appreciated that. The space was perfect for our style of tent camping. The "outhouse" was more like the Taj Mahal of facilities. Wonderful constructed, metal walls, a sun shower, a full toilet, full sink, mirror, electricity. The farm and animals were fun. We put up canopies, and used our cars as informal wind breaks. I aske each camper to bring two bundles of wood and that was great. There is a fire pit at each tent camping site, and a picnic table. We had s'mores, sang, played guitar, looked at stars, played D&D, had deep conversations ... it was PERFECT.

3 nights at The Ranch at Cross Road

Six stars out of five! Matt the Host is great. The "outhouse" is really a quality constructed metal building, raised, with instant hot water no roof shower (incredible). Full sink, mirror, lights, electricity, and full regular toilet. There is PLENTY of space in the tent camping area. It's huge and our group reserved two spots and spread way out. Fire rings at each tent camping spot + a picnic table. We put up canopies and used cars as informal wind breaks. We had so much fun! Hills, cows, sunrises, sunsets, s'mores, fire, guitar, stars (so clear!) and more. We are already looking to book for next year!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

This is such a lovely location. Beautiful property. Atmospheric touches were wonderful, including the old truck with the beaming headlights right near the commons area. The hill soaring above the meadow and the hangout area were very nice. I sure wished the bathroom worked, (I was leading a group of campers, many of whom hadn't really camped before, and the lack of the functioning toilet was kind of a drag, considering that it was advertised as having a full bathroom. There issues with the water pressure and water quality. Aside from that I would recommend wholeheartedly.

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

Everything was perfect. The views, the campsites, the bathrooms & amenities, and the communication from the host was so quick for any questions we had. Would recommend this spot to everyone!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

It was a wonderful close by get away! Beautiful and clean. Peaceful, relaxing and can't wait to go again!

1 night at Once Upon a Ranch

This land is a real farm, lots of animal noises, early until late, so if you’re okay with real country living, it is great. I was the only camper, in February, and enjoyed the experience. Nouae had nice firewood too.

Weekend Trip to The Olive Farm

Sam’s place was perfect for our family of four with two boys. The swings, the lake with paddle boats, the open space, the faucets and showers,…all perfect. Sam is very responsive and the location of his place is very convenient and close to downtown Novato for any need that might come up. Planning a trip back with the rest of our family in a couple months. Thanks Sam.

Weekend Trip to The Meadows at Isleton

We had a great time staying at The Meadows. Since we were the only guests, we didn’t stay in site 1 and opted for a site (no #) overlooking a vineyard. Great place, peaceful yet very close to town.

1 night at The Olive Farm

Had a great time, as always! Sam is very communicative and helpful. It's great it feels so remote even though you are not that far from civilization.

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

Great location with views of the surrounding hills and nice spacious sites. Looking forward to coming back!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

A lovely little getaway if you are in the Bay Area and need some outside time. Lots of thoughtful amenities like a community area with a fire pit and games, clean bathroom, supplies to wash dishes, etc. Great sunset and sunrise!

1 night at The Olive Farm

Everything was perfect at Sam's place! We had the whole place to ourselves and the pups loved running around and exploring. The grounds were kept in good condition and there is so much charm at the campsite. Great place to getaway, chat by the campfire and stargaze. I will definitely be back with my little family :D

The Olive Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Novato, CA

Excellent Group Site! We only host one group at a time so you can be with your family and friends in a large, flat and private space. We listed the site for up to 12 campers but feel free to reach out if your group is bigger. Please check out the newest addition of our cabin bunkhouse. Take a look at the pictures - you can add it to your stay as an extra when you book! The land was originally purchased in the 1980's. Since then, it has been used by four generations of the family as a place to gather, relax, camp and even celebrate. I had my wedding on the property in 2010. For a few years we held an annual music festival with the very inventive name of Samapalooza. Up to 400 people would attend the day filled with live music, food and drinks. You will still find the stage and bar we built as an outdoor kitchen and dining area. Around 2008, my father and I planted our first olive trees. Many have been planted since which has gifted the land the timeless sense of purpose it deserves. My father dedicated his last years to tending the young trees and now I have taken the mantle to carry the farm forward. 'The Property', as it is known amongst family and friends has always been a place to camp. I have sat around the same fire ring for decades, rain or shine. I hope that fellow hipcampers can find the joy that my family and I have experienced here. This is a very private camp on a small olive farm. Geographically close to highways and the town of Novato, Sonoma and Napa wine country, this camp feels remote and secluded. Only one camp on the property to keep it private and special. You basically have your run of the land. We have just updated the land and made some nice improvements. Located on ten acres, you will drive past a small olive grove before reaching the spacious and open campground. Just up the hill from the camp is a private pond where you can fish, take out a small boat or just sit and watch the birds. It can be great swimming on hot summer days. This spot has been used by the family for decades and is now open to share with fellow nature lovers. Just a note: While the majority of the time you can expect complete privacy, this is a working olive farm. From time to time you may run into me (Sam) or someone else associated with the land. We will always do our best to respect your space.
