SIMPLY SPECTACULAR!!!

WOW! Just WOW! This place is our favorite Hipcamp to date. From the beautiful surroundings with huge boulders, a stone "hut" picnic area, games galore, amazing lighting, wildlife and a location close to great parks and other amenities, this place is the best! Julie is a wonderful and engaging host who goes above and beyond to make this a special place and, well, it is one. And, she doesn't try to gouge you with ridiculous CA pricing. It's reasonably priced and you get so much. If you pass through this area and don't stop here you are really missing a great time. We just hope it doesn't get so popular we can't get a space the next time we come through the area.

Wonderful intimate camping experience. Campsite so nice, plenty of space, trails to enjoy and attention to detail was amazing. So many amenities to enjoy: firepit, barbecue, picnic table w/umbrella and lights that come on at night, and box with games for all ages, corn hole and horseshoe pit! Julie has obviously put a lot of hard work into this site and shows that she knows what will make anyone a Happy Camper! Proximity to Columbia and Sonora a big plus! Will definitely be back!

Attention to details!

This a special little place that would be perfect for a little family or friend reunion, although it was just my husband and I for a couple of nights. It is a short walk over to a great breakfast place , Mandy’s, which we loved starting our days out after eating there. Five minute drive to Columbia St Park, 15 minutes to downtown Sonora, and we really enjoyed cider tasting at Indigeny - lovely place! There is so much to do around the area. Squirrel Rock is right next to the Columbia Airport, but the sounds of small planes and helicopters didn’t bother us- we didn’t hear any after sunset. We would recommend to others and would stay there again. We appreciated Julie’s attention to details: clean garbage and recycling cans, clean tablecloth on picnic table, solar party lights, firepit, games in weather protected chest and cornhole and horseshoe pit!

10/10 Recommend!

Beautiful camp ground! Julie is extremely nice and makes sure you have the best experience possible. Regardless of getting a little snow, my kids had a blast and we will definitely be back again. We had a 26 and a 28 FT trailer in the camp ground.
