This land was home to the Miwok, then European and Chinese miners, then a cattle rancher. It was also home to a former nun who quit the dominican order to purchase this land for inner city kids to have a chance to ride, swim, hike and fish. We moved here in 2017 and purchased this land with the main goal to raise our large family here, but we have found that good things must be shared! There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with this beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork cosumnes river. We have 2 sleeping cabins and several tent sites (can be rented separately). The cabins offer a rustic/minimalist type vibe - bring your own bedding/pillows to sleep on the comfy futon. A table and chairs are provided for the cabins. Tent sites have a wood table (bring your camp chairs) and a fire pit when the season is open for burning. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! Many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting. It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. The recent Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the cabins. It is still as beautiful as ever but please know there are lots of slash piles. Falling trees and burned up stump holes are also a risk and it is presumed campers will be cautious and use at their own risk. Please don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Tent/RV site 4

The sites were spacious and plenty of trees and shade. The river was beautiful but still pretty cold this early in the year. With all the recent rain there were flowers and green everywhere :) their dog came to visit ours a few times and get some scratches from us. We had a great time, thinking of booking multiple sites and having a big family camp trip there.

Cabin #2

Fantastic location that felt very secluded and wild but had enough creature comforts like a flsuhing toilet to keep things comfortable. The hosts very friendly, gracious and accommodating. The river was lovely and it was very family friendly. I'd definitely return.

Scouting sites for Trout fishing.

Noleen was amazingly responsive and a wonderful host. We had Camp site # 4. The site is right at the river's edge and separate from the other sites, which gives you more privacy. Because of forest fire risk. Site #4 is not set up for camp fires. Camp fires aren't really allowed at the site, unless it's winter, or wet..maybe early spring and late fall. Always check with the host first. The bathroom is about 70 yards walk up the hill, stocked with toilet paper, which was really nice. Please be respectful to the host and your fellow campers, by flushing the toilets as you poop-along. Someone didn't do that while we were there and they had clogged up the toilet. Def recommend this location and will be coming back...oh and we caught a large 15" trout along the river. :)
