Beautiful farm/ camping spot located 35min north of Reno. Quiet, secluded, nice bathroom/decent shower (no hot water when we were there). Friendly host and groundskeeper. Plenty of room to set up whatever camp site you would like. We are artists heading to burning man, and needed a place to work on our sculptures before heading to playa. We had plenty of space and Julie and Tom were very accommodating. Will definitely stay again!

One of a Kind Campsite

Are you a nature lover? Has it always been your dream to sleep with the coyotes? Then this is the place for you! We camped at the far end of the pond next to Julie's expansive land. Throughout the night I listened to the call of the toads, the coyotes howling, the ducks quacking, and the other wildlife bristling around. It was very beautiful. Julie's backyard truly has its own ecosystem. During my morning walk, there were hundreds of adolescent toads hopping around the pond. I said hello to the ducks and watched her sweet dogs roam the land and take a dip. Julie allowed my husband and I to shower before taking off - the water was cold but refreshing. If you dislike insects, wildlife, amphibians and canines then this is not the place for you. :)

Dog issue but beautiful site

Overall the experience was fine and the site is truly so beautiful. Our issue was that the dogs on the farm were aggressive to us / our dog. The host resolved it within a few minutes once informed. Noisy at night.

Camp in the Sage

Gorgeous views of the surrounding area. Located in a peaceful sagebrush habitat with some wildlife. There was even a nest of owls about to fledge! Only about 15 to 20 minutes from the supermarket and gas stations.
