Welcome to Garden Valley! A serene gem tucked away in the foothills of The Divide. Sit back in the forest and relax as you enjoy views of the country fused with deer, wild turkeys and other surprises! Get caught up in nature, pick some blackberries, take a mini hike on property, mountain bike world-class trails nearby, hunt for gold, take a dip in a crystal clear river or lake; and end the day cooking by firelight and roasting some smores! Don't miss all of our local Rubicon Trail Events and Jeepers Jamboree or stop by any of our beautiful local lakes and wineries. There are a few local eateries and an ice cream parlor close by, in case you get the hankering! We have five tent spaces (one 2 person tent is up and available, be sure to bring your own bedding and coolers!) RV hook ups, electricity, fire pits with cooking capabilities, large farm sink with well water and soap, rustic outdoor shower and the cleanest out house in Nor Cal! Come rejuvenate in the forest and reset! A stunning 45 minute drive from South Lake Tahoe and a 14 minute drive to historic yet modern conveniences of Georgetown and Placerville. Come and reset the way you deserve to! Try and arrive as close to daylight as possible, it gets dark! We do have some lit up trees at the gate entrance. Please adhere to the 72 hr cancellation window for refunds. Enjoy!

Our campsite is located on a beautifully maintained, yet wild and tranquil 2 acres in Garden Valley, fifteen convenient minutes from downtown historic Placerville. Enjoy up to 5 private, separate tent sites and/or hook up for RV. Electricity, running water, internet, outdoor shower and starter wood included. There are cooking mechanisms in fire pits as well as a large grill, and picnic tables for your convenience. A large farmhouse sink, rustic outdoor shower and the cleanest porta potty on The Divide - are also located on the campsite, shared with Yurt guest only. The ENTIRE site is included in your reservation. Our campsite is very serene and peaceful with views of the countryside. There are plenty of activities from taking a hike, gem hunting, swimming in the crystal clear rivers and lakes nearby, enjoying a winery or simply reading a book in a hamock. This is the place to getaway from it all, find solace and re-energise or have a blast solo or with a group of friends, either way we got you covered! We keep it simple. Fifteen minutes away from modern conveniences of Georgetown and Placerville. 45 minutes outside of South Lake Tahoe. ** Take note of PG&E work through August.

The Oak & Moss Retreat

Yurt · Sleeps 3 · 1 bedroom · 2 beds · 1 toilet
Welcome to The Oak & Moss Retreat! Tucked away in a secluded forest in Garden Valley. Enjoy an open Balinese yurt space that sleeps three. There is also an open camp site nearby if you have extra guests that want to glamp! (You can find that on this listing on “other sites”.) Otherwise, relax indoors or outdoors, cook over the fire or Bbq with an outdoor kitchen, farm sink, outdoor (cold shower!) and cleanest porta potty in Nor Cal! Stay on property and enjoy the short meandering trails, pick some seasonal blackberries - or head out to nearby crystal clear lakes, rivers and breathtaking hikes that scream adventure! This space is perfect for a fall/winter getaway (year round basically.) due to the heating and cooling elements. Cozy up to your own private forest and reset in a beautiful Balinese style yurt equipped with heat/air, WiFi, workspace, tea kettle, Smart TV, & toaster. Select teas and hydration starter pack provided. 3 large bottles of alkaline water for your convenience. We recommend you also bring your own in case. The outdoor refrigerator works great, take note: It’s an outdoor refrigerator, expect an outdoor refrigerator ;)
