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!

The tent sites by the river were all great, easy to get to and beautiful. Noleen was super friendly and answered every question I had basically immediately, and the fresh eggs they have are great. Highly recommend, and I plan to come back when it’s a little warmer to try swimming in the river.

Beautiful spot for relaxation
This was our first Hipcamp experience and it was an absolute joy. I am completely jealous of their little slice of heaven. The cabin was roomy and comfortable. There was a table, chairs, and an umbrella, along with a fire pit. There was a bathroom right next to the cabin for convenience. Their family was welcoming and the boys and farm dog were adorable. Even with the family living on the property we always felt that we had our privacy. The grounds were beautiful with a creek running in the back. They have multiple options for tent camping backed up to the creek as well cabin lodging options. We had a lovely experience and will definitely be back.

Drive in is good defrag time Stayed in cabin 2 We came with a dog, The private river access is priceless Heated shelter from the rain was comfortable Flushing toilet nearby was a relief Chicken yard so close was a concern at first (I’m allergic) but turned out fine due to weather. Hosts are good people to work with. Drive out is good memory time

We stayed in cabin 1 and we had a great time! The cabin was very cute and was plenty of space for my husband, my dogs and I. The river was a super short walk away and we could see and hear it from the cabin. It was beautiful!!! I highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back again in the summer time!
