This land was home to the Miwok, then European and Chinese miners, then a cattle rancher. It was also home to a former nun who quit the dominican order to purchase this land for inner city kids to have a chance to ride, swim, hike and fish. We moved here in 2017 and purchased this land with the main goal to raise our large family here, but we have found that good things must be shared! There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with this beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork cosumnes river. We have 2 sleeping cabins and several tent sites (can be rented separately). The cabins offer a rustic/minimalist type vibe - bring your own bedding/pillows to sleep on the comfy futon. A table and chairs are provided for the cabins. Tent sites have a wood table (bring your camp chairs) and a fire pit when the season is open for burning. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! Many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting. It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. The recent Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the cabins. It is still as beautiful as ever but please know there are lots of slash piles. Falling trees and burned up stump holes are also a risk and it is presumed campers will be cautious and use at their own risk. Please don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Tent/RV site 4
This camping spot was an absolute blast! I went with a buddy, and we had plenty of space for our two big tents. The soothing sound of the river was always there, especially at night, which made it super easy to drift off to sleep. There were a few wasps trying to join our dinner party, but they do have a wasp trap that seems to be doing its job, so it could be worse! The hosts were super friendly and happy to answer any questions we had, which was a nice touch.

Think twice
Honesty from host about location. If you’re looking for 2 plus miles of dirt road, then dust bowl camping on someone’s compound then this place is perfect for you! One star at best

Cabin #1
Beautiful River Oasis!!
The site had everything we needed! We rented the cabin for my two friends who weren't big on tent-camping, and I added the tent spot on for myself. We had an out-house 10 feet from my tent which was really convenient during night time bathroom trips. The surrounding land and river were what really stood out though!!!! The private bit of river Noleen has running in her backyard is a beautiful little oasis only a short walking distance down the hill. We would definitely stay here again :)

Fun spot for chilling, soaking in the river, cooking, etc. If you're looking to relax and stargaze and not do much, this is the place!

Nice little getaway from Sacramento. Very close to home so we didn’t have to drive too far out. Great host, answered all the questions that I had. Would definitely come back.
