Walden Ranch Camping

Good quiet site. Well organized and clean.

Spent a night on Alan's ranch which wasn't too far of a drive from the from the greater east bay. It was super spacious and super clean. Had really chill vibes and it felt like they spent a lot of time carving the space out as a great campsite. Was only there with my two girls but the entire family and more could have been there as well! Clean flushing toilet was a huge win for the misses! And the pups of the ranch are super playful and friendly!

We stayed at Walden Ranch for two nights. We were the only campers there, which I loved. I loved being amongst the farm animals and the wild bunnies running around. There is a pond but it was covered in a film. The boys went for a canoe ride but didn’t last long because of the smell from agitating the surface of the water. Also not something you want to swim in. We opted to go fishing and waded in the Mokelumne River (20 min drive). The bathrooms were clean and the enormous fire pit was really cool. It’s a farm so you will definitely get a rise and shine serenade from the animals, before the sun is complete up. Alan, the host, just elevated the experience by inviting us to bottle feed a calf and he showed us the lake at the back of the property. Alan’s 4 dogs visited us often. Sometimes they napped in our campsite, and other times they followed us around the property. Colt, the puppy, reminds me of Dennis the Menace. He was always getting into stuff but you couldn’t help but love him. Alana’s turkey is a little intimidating and gets very close. We quickly learned he was content just being with us and meant no harm. He visited everyday around noon. Walden Ranch isn’t a place where there is tons to do but it’s a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Perfect place to relax and spend time with friends and family.

We had a great time at Alan’s land. The land is huge and beautiful. Alan is an amazing host, and so are all the animals he has. He showed us his barn, how he feed baby cow, and some stories of his ranch. We will definitely come back and stay longer in the near future.

This was our family's second stay at Alan's Ranch. My daughters loved seeing the cows, horses, llamas, and especially Alan's gang of very friendly dogs. Alan is a gracious host and takes time out of his busy day to always come by and see how things are going. The two campsites are far apart and there is abundant privacy. The bathrooms are clean and it was great to take a shower after a day of 100 degree heat. Thank you Alan for another memorable camping holiday!

Beautiful property. A lot of farm animals, and the group there take great care to provide for campers.

The property is so beautiful, especially the camping area. You are surrounded by all sorts of animals like horses, llamas, and cows. One of the highlights was the Toyk the Turkey. He followed me and my partner around the entire time we were there and was so friendly! Alan is so kind and generous with his time. He even let my partner and I feed one of the baby cows. I would definitely return here!

I love this camping site! It’s our 2nd time here and we will come back again. The place is beautiful, have anything you need in camping and much more. There are several animals surrounding you, plenty of trees and grass - pastoral and relaxing place. Alan is friendly and suggested we’ll join him feeding a 2 weeks old calf (the kids loved it!).

Alan is the nicest host and the location is just great for kids. We loved our quiet spot and the facilities. Can’t recommend this enough!
