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 site 3

Great location with several secluded spots for enjoying the passing river and listening to the rapids. The campsites are far enough from each other and people were well-behaved. The only thing I could wish for is for the bathroom doors to close properly. Wild turkeys roam the land, providing a photo op!

Tent Site 6

Directions to get to the camp were super clear! Each camp site has a lot of space, its own table and bonfire pit. We stayed at campsite #6 which is right next to the river. We also purchased some eggs which made an amazing breakfast!

Tent/RV Site 2

Great access to the river! Beautiful property! Amazing vision coming to life on their property! We were able to unplug, relax and enjoy! Definitely planning another trip in the near future. We stayed at campsite 2 and all the others looked to be just a great or better! Next time we are aiming for campsite 3.

Cabin #1

The site is so beautiful with 3 or 4 "beaches" that I'm sure will be even better once the river is less full. There are 8 tent sites and 2 cabins spread out on the property. I stayed in cabin 1 and it was very spacious and very cozy. It doesnt feel crowded or too secluded. I had an incident with my car tire as I was leaving but Jolene's husband(sorry I don't remember your name)was incredibly helpful getting things fixed.Its such a soecial spot that I don't really want tell you how wonderful it is so that I can save it for me and my friends. 10/10 will be back many times.
