The campsite is a welcoming spot for both beginners and seasoned campers, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. With friendly hosts and residents, the atmosphere is relaxed, and amenities like private bathrooms and a pool enhance the stay. While some may find the proximity to other cabins less private, the clean facilities and access to a creek provide a comfortable camping experience. A few guests noted the noise from nearby roads and the presence of permanent residents, which might not align with expectations for a secluded cabin in the woods.

Forest Tent Camping
This camp site is tremendous! So calm and peaceful with a gentle creek winding through it. I stayed in a tent and there was plenty of room on top of that. I had my own private restroom with a shower. I will definitely come back here in the future.!

This place is beautiful!! We were here during a rainy weekend and it was beautiful to look out of all the windows. Joe was responsive and helped with getting things we needed.
There is a nice stream in the property too.
Great camp for first time campers / beginners. My friends and I came and Joe told us the ground rules and then left us to ourselves the rest of the trip. There are a few residents on the campgrounds as well in cabins / small homes and they were friendly and conversational as well. Pool opens in May, when we went there it wasn’t operational. You’re pretty close to civilization as well in case you forgot essentials or need a quick bite. All in all well worth it big 5 star for me! :)

Forest Tent Camping
Safe, quiet and beautiful private bathroom! Early in season so don't use pool but would go back and try.
We had a great time camping here! We were a little lucky because we were the only ones tent camping that weekend. The hosts were very nice and kind—they even gave us access to our own private bathroom with a shower.
The place was so quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Our two puppies absolutely loved their time there as well. We would definitely come back!
The cabin is such a cozy place. More than enough space for a couple to stay. My wife and I loved the place. Have to mention the whole camp community is quiet and beautiful, very friendly to dog. Our dog had a wonderful time there.
Great space in the mountain for last minute camping. The bathrooms are clean, the pool is beautiful. Overall highly recommend.

Forest Tent Camping
We loved the group camp at Pine Grove. The bathrooms and showers were close by and well kept, the pool and creek were great for cooling off and keeping the kiddos busy. We definitely will be back.
What a magical place for my husband and I to celebrate my birthday and Labor Day weekend. We are already making plans to return! Definitely recommend! We loved that we were assigned our own newly renovated bathroom where we could store our belongings/toiletries since it is a bit of a walk. Word of warning, if you’re someone that goes pee in the middle of the night, using the great outdoors is something you will have to do if you don’t feel like walking the five minutes through the dark woods to go down to the main campground. In the evening/night there’s total privacy to do so.
The creek was amazing and refreshing. I’m 5’7 and at certain points, the water came up to my thighs. We were impressed since we thought it was going to be a little stream. The ambient noise of the coursing creek was my favorite thing. We enjoyed the spring fed pool and we enjoyed being able to take a shower every night. We made pizzas in the pizza oven that turned out great thanks to Joe’s helpful tips. Joe was great, he gave us a basic tour showing us the bathrooms/where to get potable water, and where to park. He allowed us to explore the nuances of the campground on our own, while staying available and responsive. I might leave a second review just for helpful tips since that’s what we were looking for when we were booking this place! Thanks Joe and see you next time! :) -M&W

The location was easy to find, the view from the treehouse was delightful, and it was overall a calming and peaceful experience.
Married couple, 5 yr old LOVED this place, adorable cabin, loved the back patio with the awesome outdoor shower. The birds in the morning and the sound of the rushing stream was wonderful, Joe was so friendly and supplied us with charcoal and eggs!
As the previous comment mentioned, there are homes and other cabins - but you still feel like you have your own space in this place. I thought it was very clean for being in the middle of the woods and I would love to come back! (:

Furnished Glamping tent
We stayed for 2 nights in a tent — and it was amazing! The tent itself is super cozy and well-designed: stylish furniture, beautiful decor, and everything you might need — a small fridge, kettle, mugs, coffee, sugar. Very thoughtful! The beds were comfortable, the linens were clean — I slept like at home. There’s also a fan for hot days and a heater for chilly nights. The deck has comfy chairs to relax in.
The pools were clean, the water was great, and there were plenty of floaties for both kids and adults. There’s a small café on-site where you can grab a bite, some water, or ice cream (prices aren’t the cheapest, but it’s great to have it nearby).
The host greeted us, showed us around, and explained everything. We had our own private shower and toilet — everything was clean, nicely designed, and towels were provided (more than enough!).
The property is large and well-maintained. There’s a pizza oven on-site, which was a real highlight — we even learned how to make pizza in it!
The only downsides: there’s a road nearby and you can hear cars passing by (not too loud, but noticeable). Also, there are cabins on both sides of the tent — they were empty during our stay, but if they were occupied, it would feel a bit too close for my comfort.
Overall, it’s a great, peaceful, and stylish place to stay. We really enjoyed it!
Joe, the host, was very kind and accommodating. He made the check in process very easy. The cabin was super clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. That said, we wouldn't return.
The cabin is within an area with other cabins (homes?), many of which are occupied by permanent residents. There are random items/junk throughout the property, and sadly along the creek. There didn't appear to be an area for a campfire and there definitely wasn't a camping vibe (no other campers around, no fire pits, mostly just permanent residents inside with barking dogs). It was more of an Airbnb within an outdoorsy mobile home park than a cabin in the woods. The cabin next to us was covered in tarps and red caution tape, with a windowless white van parked in front of it.
I think it could have been a comfortable place to stay had we been more aware of what the environment was really like. We were expecting a cabin in the woods, and that's not really what it was. We ended up leaving early as we thought we'd be more comfortable back at home.
This is our second time (this summer!) staying at Big Leaf Creek side cabin with Joe. Both times, the cabin was incredibly well stocked: think toys for the kids, coffee, olive oil and fresh eggs! The bed and bedding were comfortable and the room gets pretty dark to ensure a great nights sleep.
The property sits creekside from fresh run-off and has two swimming pools available. The food offered poolside was great! High points for having great lumpia and my son loved the mini corndogs.
The only thing I would change is heating the swimming pool. There is a fresh water pool that is freezing and the pool is similar in temp. Even on a 90* day, it was hard to be in the pool for more than a few moments.
I love the glamping tent set up and the ambiance. My family and I had a peaceful but enjoyable stay. My kids loved the pool. Very relaxing place, the bathroom is modernized and clean. Sir Joe was so nice to us. Will definitely recommend the place. Can I just add there's also a nearby gas station and grocery store. 💓

Beautiful tree house, lovely property, and Joe was a great host. We will definitely be back!
A truly private sanctuary tree house just like the title alludes too. A private creek beach perfect for chilling and keeping cool with or without furry friends. Public pool w/ good food at the grill. Tree house was not too hot even at a high of 105 during my stay.

Forest Tent Camping
The pool is rented to day time users. Full of children during the weekend. We did not expect this and would not have booked it had we known. THe pool itself was large and water was very good. You cannot hike along the creek unless you are in the creek. THere is no place to hike along side of it. THe group camp site is amongst a bunch of private homes and is therefore NOT private.
The tree house is situated at the northern most edge of the property, over a creek that lulls you to sleep at night. Good use of no -electric lighting inside. Comfortable bedding.

The treehouse was such a lovely place to stay, you could hear the creek running and open it up to have the breeze blow through. The bathrooms were about a five minute walk away, but you get your own private bathroom complete with a shower and towels.

This was the perfect cabin! The balcony right next to the little creek was so so nice. The cabin was well stocked, the beds were comfortable.
The grounds are nice, with a community fire pit and pool. Great little getaway.
We'll be back for sure!
Great cabin weekend - sweet cabin by the creek, lovely lounging on the deck and poolside. We had everything we needed and will be back.
This place is really special. Falling asleep to the sound of the river, in a cozy cabin high in a tree, far away from other people — it's a real treat. Joe is an unbelievably responsive host — even came down to the river and rescued us when we took the wrong path and needed a different way back. Highly recommend.
Location was good for our group mostly traveling from the Sacramento area (2 hrs) especially with the fall colors. It’s a 30 min drive from Wright Peak which is a beautiful hike. Amenities at the resort were great - bathrooms and showers were clean; the outdoor pizza oven was awesome; easily accessible spigot with drinking water; free wifi; and best of all, Joe provided free firewood the whole weekend (really generous of him to do that).
The only cons were the HipCamp pictures make it seem like the open tent camping spots are in a separate area from the residential homes and cabins in the resort when in reality you can pitch your tent anywhere there is an open spot but you’re among the cabins and trailers of other residents, so your group doesn’t have total privacy and you do hear traffic from the main road which was pretty busy both nights we were there. .
It also would have been helpful if Joe provided a short tour upon arrival of where everything is located in the resort and how the pizza oven works, etc. I had to text several times to ask questions and he would come over. Would have been better to provide a little tour at first and make sure we knew where everything was.
Overall, a nice location with great amenities.
Joe is an amazing host and the camp grounds are amazing!! Lots of space to spread out, pool is available during the right seasons, there's a creek that runs through the property. It's great for groups and families. One of the best gems I've ever camped at.

The Sanctuary Treehouse
The tree house is well secluded while still close to the bathroom (private for your stay). Everything was clean, cosy and even though the pool was cold, it was warm enough to get a quick jump in and out. You can eat on site (good and healthy food) and there's a fire wiid oven that you can use with tones of wood on aite to use! Still close enough from SF for a short weekend trip. We stayed there with our 5 years old. We were snugged in one bed but it was the plan of our adventure. Our son almost cried when we told him we had to leave! The highlight was the river beneath the treehouse, with lots of wild blackberries that we made a pie with the wood pizza oven. A great adventure for the whole family

The little treehouse was adorable! The creek is a nice little spot under the house and feels pretty private. There isn’t much to do in the area so it was a great way to just sleep in, relax, and wander about
