Excellent Group Site! We only host one group at a time so you can be with your family and friends in a large, flat and private space. We listed the site for up to 12 campers but feel free to reach out if your group is bigger.
Please check out the newest addition of our cabin bunkhouse. Take a look at the pictures - you can add it to your stay as an extra when you book!
The land was originally purchased in the 1980's. Since then, it has been used by four generations of the family as a place to gather, relax, camp and even celebrate. I had my wedding on the property in 2010. For a few years we held an annual music festival with the very inventive name of Samapalooza. Up to 400 people would attend the day filled with live music, food and drinks. You will still find the stage and bar we built as an outdoor kitchen and dining area.
Around 2008, my father and I planted our first olive trees. Many have been planted since which has gifted the land the timeless sense of purpose it deserves. My father dedicated his last years to tending the young trees and now I have taken the mantle to carry the farm forward.
'The Property', as it is known amongst family and friends has always been a place to camp. I have sat around the same fire ring for decades, rain or shine. I hope that fellow hipcampers can find the joy that my family and I have experienced here.
This is a very private camp on a small olive farm. Geographically close to highways and the town of Novato, Sonoma and Napa wine country, this camp feels remote and secluded. Only one camp on the property to keep it private and special. You basically have your run of the land. We have just updated the land and made some nice improvements. Located on ten acres, you will drive past a small olive grove before reaching the spacious and open campground.
Just up the hill from the camp is a private pond where you can fish, take out a small boat or just sit and watch the birds. It can be great swimming on hot summer days.
This spot has been used by the family for decades and is now open to share with fellow nature lovers.
Just a note: While the majority of the time you can expect complete privacy, this is a working olive farm. From time to time you may run into me (Sam) or someone else associated with the land. We will always do our best to respect your space.Very private camp on a small olive farm.

**We have just produced this year's olive oil. It's a fresh, fruity and peppery blend! Be sure to add some to your stay!
We have just renovated our old bar for use as a kitchen, tent pad or sitting area. Check out the new pictures to see what we've done!

We can accommodate vehicles up to 20ft in length. Check the photos to make sure your specific vehicle and make the small incline leading up to the site. Water hookup available.
There is a portable toilet available on site and a shower with cold water only.
**I am currently allowing fires for the season.
Please be aware that we are all living in a new fire reality in California. We are in the midst of a drought. This year's rain was almost non-existent. Because of these factors, I will be banning fires during wildfire season. Unfortunately, wildfire season just seems to get longer every year. Trust me, I know fires are a big part of camping. I grew up having campfires all summer long and wish this wasn't necessary but I'm afraid this is the new normal. Thanks for understanding.
Pets are allowed off leash but please clean up after your dog. I know it seems like a large, empty place but imagine a few dogs coming every week. I keep finding 'surprises' hidden around the place. Please be respectful!
We have increased our number of campers from 10 to 12 because we suspected that people were bringing that many anyway. If you are planning on a large group, please just reach out to us so we can all be on the same page. If you think you may be looking at more than 12, we can probably work it with the right communication. We just don't like the surprises. Thanks!
