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!

Camping in the mountains
I really enjoyed how close the walk was to the river. It’s about two minutes away and it feels as though you’re in your own secluded world.

Wonderful experience
Absolutely wonderful. The grounds overall were well kept and clearly marked. All of the sites were close enough together that you weren't too far from the facilities, but also far enough away from the other campers that it was private. It's a little on the spendy side, but I would highly recommend staying here for a nice weekend away.

Beautiful spot. Rustic. A little unclear where one site stops and the other ends. Peaceful

Tent camping was great as place is pretty remote you can really hear nature esp the river on the property. Flushing toilets was a plus, we would book again. .
