This was a sweet little spot. Loved the art and the set up. Michel was very helpful. For cold and windy nights, I highly recommend the sites with the Teepees

Site 1 - Iron Teepee
Conveniently located about five minutes outside of Murphy - an excellent launching pad for everything uphill. The place has loads of character. All of the sites were impeccably groomed and clean (that said we were probably the first campers of the season). We arrived in late afternoon and wanted to stretch our legs. Conveniently, there was a mile plus loop on the property that also boasted a terrific view. Oh, and having a winery with live events on the property (but still outside of earshot) was really convenient. Michel was a gracious, helpful, and gregarious host; a man of many miles and passions!

We Keep Coming Back Cuz We Love It
We’ve lost count how many times we’ve camped at Sierra Circles. It’s our go-to favorite place for a couple nights away from the hustle of the Bay Area. We’ve made it a habit to visit the winery tasting room, walk the trails on the property and plenty of spots to have a unique happy hour in the woods. Michel is source for local information and things to do if you want to leave the property. We will be back again in 2024. Thanks for always making us feel welcomed at our little camping home away from home.
