We have 155 acres of the Sierra foothills just ~12 minutes from downtown Murphys. This is a working farm where we specialize in cut flowers and also grow a little food. When available we offer bouquets/eggs/veggies as an add-on. We also have plenty of firewood to scavenge or you can buy a nice stack of dry oak. There are a few different listings, so make sure to read the details on your specific listing! -Soup Kitchen -End of The Driveway -1 Pine -2 Pine -Bus -Camper There’s the Soup Kitchen which has 3 sites listed but there are a bunch of good tent spots available. The End of The Driveway is one big site for buses/RVs/big vans next to the Soup Kitchen. 1 Pine and 2 Pine are up a separate driveway on the ridge. Then there’s the bus and camper, which are located in the main part of our property when you pull into the driveway. This is also where the camp host can usually be found. The 1st area to park/camp is the “Soup Kitchen” near the flower garden where you can enjoy an outdoor shower, kitchen space and established fire pit (see pics of the Soup Kitchen). This area is down the driveway a couple hundred yards from where we usually are so you’ll more or less be on your own, depending on if we have work to do down there or if there are other campers. We are happy to chat or leave you be, just let us know what your needs are. If you’re looking for a more isolated spot, see the listings for 1 Pine or 2 Pine. The 2nd area is “1 Pine” accessed by our second driveway that is 100 yards down the road from the farm. The driveway is kind of rough but definitely manageable with a truck, SUV or sedan if you’re willing to go for it. The drive goes up a couple hundred yards to the hilltop where there is a clearing and, you guessed it, 1 pine tree. From the back of the clearing there is a trail that leads you to 2 Pine, which is a walk that takes just a few minutes. 2 Pine is walk-in only but has great views of the sunset and is totally secluded and private and would be a good spot to either bring some friends for a little sunset party or for someone who wants to seriously unplug. There are plenty of flat spots to pitch a tent. **if you are a teacher or Pacific Crest Trail hiker let us know! We are happy to offer a discount :)

The Soup Kitchen

The site was super private and pretty. It was nice that there's a mostly set up covered kitchen and fire pit. The sunsets were beautiful. It was a very large open space where our child was able to dig for quartz and roam around safely. There was plenty of table space so the camp seemed to be able to accomodate several people. We were disappointed that the water was not hooked up until we asked for it, there was some trash around from previous guests, and the solar panel was not charging our phones until we put it on the roof of the kitchen ourselves. The photo showed a refrigerator and the description didn't note that it was not working. Most disturbing was the condition of the outhouse though. It definitely needed to be emptied or moved to a new location.

The Soup Kitchen

A Great and Easy Spot!

What a great spot! We were at the spot by the flower garden and it was so pleasant and private too. We made use of the sturdy wood tables, the super cute outhouse (if outhouses can be cute? ha), and the potable water. Would definitely recommend!

The camper van was awesome! Super vintage. So cool. The bed was super comfortable too. They were very friendly and kind. Outdoor kitchen worked great since it rained.

Super Soup Kitchen

Beautiful spot and a great set up. The Soup Kitchen provided us with all the amenities we needed for cooking and the whole place is just so charming! We enjoyed a night of star gazing and rest and are so thankful for Ben & Heather’s hospitality.

The Big White Bus

A Hipcamp Must Visit!

Amazing experience! Serene and very peaceful place. The bus has everything you could possibly need: queen bed, dresser, table, fridge, couch, electricity, games and books. Full outdoor kitchen to use. Multiple sources of clean drinking water. Fire pit complete with firewood. Ben and his wife were very kind and accommodating. Would definitely come back again!
