Set up camp and relax in one of our private manzanita surrounded tent sites. A short three min walk to our cobble beach along the beautiful South Fork America River will keep you cool during this hot summer. Or use our sites as a base camp for the many hiking and biking trails in the area. Taste some local wines at one of the many wineries or grab a growler at a nearby brewery. Propane fire pits are provided for your stay at your camp site, with one tank of propane included for your use... Because what is camping without looking at a fire and roasting marshmallows? Our fire pits sure help add to that *camping feel* but COOKING OVER FIRE PITS (OTHER THAN S'MORES) IS NOT PERMITTED, so please plan to bring your own camp stove or preferred camp-cooking appliances and the required fuel. We look forward to your stay with us! FAQ: What should I bring? For our standard tent or RV sites, the sites include a picnic table and a propane fire pit with propane for heating/ambiance only. You should plan to pack everything you would usually expect to bring with you to a typical Forest Service or State Park campground... For example: propane camp stove or equivalent with your own propane/fuel for cooking, extra tables for your personal camp set-up needs, shade tents or pop-ups, games or camp activities, camp cots/pads/air mattresses, camping bedding, tents, camp chairs, etc. We are happy to answer any question you may have!

Site 7
The Best Camp Site I've Ever Had
This was the best camp site I've ever had, Site 7. There were 14 of us, 8 adults, 6 kids (all under 5), and a dog. The site was big enough for us all to have 4 large tents, two picnic benches, a shade tent, a playpen, a large mat for kids, all 5 cars parked, and there was still plenty of space to hang around. There was a ton of tree shade, so it never got too hot. Also, the American river is maybe 30 feet from the site. There are 2 wading spots within a 5 minute walk of the camp site; 1 has a sandbar that was excellent for lounging and SUPER kid friendly, and the other had plenty of lounge space in the shade and was deeper for swimming. The host was very communicative. The bathrooms were close by, super clean, and even had showers. Honestly, perfect.

No Regrets!
Great location next to the river. Porta potty wasn’t too far away either. Would definitely recommend! My 2nd year in a row with Matt.

Site 1
We had a great stay at Site 1. Matt met us when we arrived and went over all the details and instructions, and he was easily reachable for some questions I had later in the day. It was a quick little walk from our site down to the river. There was a great spot for the kids to play in some shallow water and wave as the kayakers and rafters went by. All in all it was a great location and provided our family of four just what we were looking for. Would definitely recommend and will plan on staying there if we’re in the area again. Thanks Matt!

Site 3
Awesome trip!
Site 3 was very spacious with a very close walk to the bathrooms. It is directly across from site 1 and 2. Only site 1 was occupied but we didn’t hear them at all. The bathrooms were very nice and clean. Matt greeted us at check in and explained everything very well. There were many trees at site 3 so it was easy to find shaded areas to relax in. Though the picnic table was in direct sunlight for most of the day. The walk to the river from site 3 was short and easy. There was a small wading area about 2 feet deep and had a current so not ideal for small children. There is a small rock island separating the wading area with the river. It was fine for my 3 year old to play on with heavy adult supervision. Lots of rafters were coming by so there wasn’t any privacy but we didn’t mind watching them float by. There was absolutely no shade so I would definitely bring an umbrella. The area is not a big enough to accommodate a pop-up tent. Overall, it was a great experience, and I am looking forward to booking another visit there!
