Palala Ranch is 20 acres of forested and inclined terrain. Located midway between the Bay Area and Lake Tahoe, it's a great stop off point on your way to the snow and the mountains. Being in the middle of gold country, there's several small historic gold mining towns that are really fun to visit. The Shenandoah Valley wine country is only 25 minutes away. This property is the beginning of a dream that we want all of our guests to be apart of. Using feedback and suggestions mingled with our vision, we want guests to contribute to the growth of this dream. Everytime guests return there will be new features and improvements for them to enjoy and to provide the best experience we can work the current resources. We look forward to hosting you and can't wait to meet you!

Site 3 - Palala Ranch RV, Trailer, and Camp
Idyllic Trailer Camping
We had the pleasure of staying at Ernie’s campsite and were so happy with our experience. His directions were easy to follow, the hookups were easily accessible and the site itself was sublime. We visited off season, so had the area to ourselves (save the wild turkeys), and it was one of the most peaceful weekends we’ve shared in some time. Ernie was a great host and I’m so glad we happened upon his listing!

Highly Recommend!
The best place we’ve stayed yet! We happened to be the only campers there during our stay, so had the whole place to ourselves. Beautiful open site with gorgeous views! He had a table, chairs, umbrella, and rug for us to use as well. Full hook-ups (sewer, water, power) made it that much nicer. We’ll definitely be back!

Site 3 - Palala Ranch RV, Trailer, and Camp
We stayed in site #3 at the top of the hill with a 26Ft trailer. Very quiet and peaceful while we were there (no tent campers), but the tent sites are on an open knoll next to the RV site and multiple campers would have very little privacy. Good for group camping, star gazing, sunsets, relaxation (if you have it to yourself). You’ll be about 30 minutes from Sutter Creek and Plymouth on narrow mountain roads with some one lane sections. Entering from the Sutter Creek side is the best route with an RV.

Warm welcome from Ernie as we got to his property showed us how to get up to the site 3 and helped us out by lending us a 50 to 30 as we didn't have one. I can not say enough great things about our stay, the full hook ups, the clean flat site, the peace and quiet, the beautiful views the ease of getting to several destinations around like Sutter Creek, Jackson, Fiddleton, Placerville, Somerset, and Apple hill. Our dogs came with us, Ernie made us all feel welcome, great communication, I feel like we have made a new friend. Hale Rd is beautiful it does have some single lane spots depending on which way you are coming in but well worth it loved seeing the deer, turkey and cute little squirrels. We were sad to leave this was our first getaway that we weren't ready to leave so we will definitely be back, Thank you Ernie for sharing your little gem with us can't wait to see you again. Definitely can't go wrong by staying here.

Site 1 - Palala Ranch RV, Trailer, and Camp
My husband and I stayed at site 1 with our two dogs for 3 nights. It was the perfect spot for us with full hook ups for our trailer. Our trailer is 18ft and easily fit in the spot. It was very relaxing and quiet with great views. The host Ernie was very nice and made some great recommendations of things to do in the area during the day. If you’re looking for a quiet spot to relax in nature and see the stars at night, then I definitely recommend Palala Ranch.
