A wonderful site to camp at! Julian was very helpful! From guiding to the campsite, providing firewood, even setting up the fire nights fire! This site was very peaceful, a little tucked away from the world. You could hear wildlife around, woodpeckers, turkeys, even saw some deers. Amazing sunset and views of the stars. Stayed for two nights and I'd stay again in the future.

This was overall a great experience. Julian came out multiple times to check in on us and offer us firewood and water. The views are great and the site is great. I’d recommend this spot to everyone.

Weekend Trip to Sage
Everything here was really cool! Bobby was a great host and was very helpful. The cooking area was well stocked with lots of spices and ingredients. The cabin was very cozy and perfect for glamping. The shower facilities were nice and stocked. Also, Tanner (Bobby’s 2yr old Labrador) was an amazing Co-Host. There was also a little meditation area that was a nice place to sit at night with the string lights outside.

Beautiful spot and amazing host! We spent 2 nights at the RV spot at the top area with 2 kids. It was perfect for what we wanted, but if you are looking to do something around the area (visiting Indian Grinding Rock State Park for example) I recommend having a vehicle to move around. Hookups worked great and the view of the sunset up there was amazing. Great place for some peace and quiet time, very recommended! A bit steep to get up to the top spot but it's doable, our 31' Class C 2WD could do it.

We had an amazing stay and would give this campsite a full 5-star review.
The spot is beautiful, quiet, and truly rustic/“off-the-grid” — very private with no nearby neighbors, so it feels like real nature. The host was outstanding: friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond. He brought us dry firewood, and even included cardboard/kindling in the wood bundle, which made starting the fire incredibly easy.
A few tips for future guests:
Directions: The last stretch can be confusing and GPS may not be reliable. It’s best to remember the way in, and don’t hesitate to call/text the host for guidance (he was extremely helpful).
Vehicle: 4WD/AWD is recommended, especially after rain/snow when it gets muddy. We drove a RWD Tesla and had to retry a couple steeper/muddy spots. In dry conditions, 2WD should be fine if you take it slow.
Leveling: The campsite is mostly flat with a slight slope in places — if sleeping in a car/van, bring a couple leveling blocks.
Overall, an excellent experience. We’d happily come back and highly recommend it!

Close to all the local wineries. Lawrence was a great host and bonus, makes Fraser Family Wines. Definitely arrange a tasting. If you want to expand your group look for the listing for the house to rent as well. Perfect spot for visiting Plymouth. Clean, nice protected patio and view of the vineyards. Outdoor seating area with fire pit when allowed. Super nice

Small and simple in terms of amenities, but the host Chris is truly a host: watches out for you and gives good tips on local activities. There’s lots to do in the area for a long weekend. Don’t count on the WiFi though and cell signal is limited. If you want to disconnect, this is for you.

This was our second time camping at Cosumnes River Ranch. The river is amazing. The campsites and spacious and private, and even when the weather is hot the river valley provides a shelter from the heat. Tom is a very friendly and knowledgeable host, and the porta-potties are clean!

Once again we had an incredible stay at the river! I’m hesitant to recommend this place to others for fear that it will become too difficult to visit our favorite place. I think site 18 is our new favorite— perfect for a group of adults and a dog!

We camped at site #4, a shady site on a small rise at Sawyers Bar. It’s a little above the Cosumnes River, but a short walk from a common area swimming hole with small beach. The swimming hole is delightful in mid-September.
