Hickman Family Vineyards – A Wine Country Escape in the Sierra Foothills
Our love affair with wine began in the late ’90s, surrounded by the vineyards of Sonoma County. The tasting rooms, the people, the passion—it was contagious. Alyse found herself working for a boutique winery owned by Korbel, gaining an inside look at the magic behind the bottle. Inspired, we began dreaming of our own place—a vineyard built from the ground up with family, heart, and hard work.
In 2002, we found that perfect piece of land. Set at 800 feet elevation with rolling hills, majestic oaks, and wide open skies, we planted our first acre of Zinfandel in 2005 and officially opened Hickman Family Vineyards to the public on Mother’s Day 2011. Since then, our family—kids included—has been hands-on with every aspect of the vineyard, winery, and tasting room.
Now, we’re excited to share that experience with you. Our campsite offers a peaceful retreat in the Sierra Foothills, just a short drive from three nearby lakes and under star-filled skies free of city lights. Come relax, sip wine, and soak up the quiet beauty of our land. Whether you're here for the wine, the view, or the warm family welcome—you’ll find all three waiting for you.

Welcome to Kimball Farm!
We have cultivated our family farm to be a sanctuary - a place for people to feel the love of the earth, and what it has to offer us. Spectacular skies surround the farm, with roaming chickens, crowing roosters and vegetables, medicinal herbs, and fruits growing - a living model of what is beautiful AND possible in life.
The cozy has a vibe of its own, and sits beside a sweet, peaceful pond, outdoor sitting area, and fire pit. There is plenty of room for additional tents and RV's. The convenience of accessible electricity, running toilets, hot water shower, gas grill and an additional covered sitting area make your camping adventure that much more comfortable.
Super convenient to get here! We're less than 20 miles from the Sacramento Airport, and just a few minutes off of Interstate 5. Yet you'd never know it once you get to the farm and feel the peace and quiet.
We're looking forward to seeing you soon!
Additional note....Life on the farm is calm, peaceful and easy... operating with the natural rhythm of the
sun cycle. What few clocks we do have, are stuck on twenty minutes past four.
We are also family and kid friendly.
Please private message us with any questions you may have, or if you would like additional information.
We are also home wine makers. If you would like a tour of the cellar along with tasting please let me know.
Please know that This is still camping and you will be subject to the elements of Mother Nature. Hot, cold, rain, wind, dirt, dust, mud and different animal sounds during the night. When you are here you may see frogs, toads, lizards, snakes (none poisonous) ants, turtles, squirrels, etc..
Those of you who have experienced camping before know that these are all normal things when out in nature but for those of you who have no camping experience I ask you to come with an open mind and a positive attitude towards a new experience. If you think you may have problems with any of these things PLEASE DON'T COME!!!
We
also have a dog named Sara that loves people. Most campers that come are very happy to have her around. She is polite and good with children. Some of you may not like dogs, if that is the case this will not be a fun experience for you.
Please note that as of spring 2021 we no longer have as many animals. Because of the drought feed prices are too high.

The spot is quiet, the bathroom is lovely, and the water is the best I've ever tasted, straight from the hose!

What I loved about the Farm View site was an electric hook up and the use of a clean bathroom and shower.
Please note this is a farming community with chickens (roosters) and dogs in the neighborhood. That is the noise that is around. There are other people on the property at other sites. Kat is super accommodating and nice. I have stayed here twice and hope to be back.

Our family had an amazing late summer experience - hiking, swimming and enjoying this beautiful ranch in Amador County along the Consumnes River. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. For swimming, Tom recommended the Swimming Hole at Sawyer’s Bar, which was perfect for our six year old - a nice sandy beach with little to no current in the shallows. The campsite was spacious and clean with lots of shade and plenty of space between other sites, which made the site feel very private. We visited with a travel trailer and thought the dirt road to the campsites was well maintained when we visited. We cannot wait to visit again!

First and foremost, Kat & Steve are amazing people and hosts! We came as a large group of 15 (6 adults and 9 kids) and stayed in tents. The facilities were excellent — clean, well-kept, and convenient. Having access to both power and water made the stay especially comfortable and easy to manage with kids.
The property has a warm and welcoming vibe that made everyone feel at home right away. The kids had plenty of space to run around and explore, while the adults could relax and enjoy the peaceful setting. Kat & Steve were thoughtful, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay.

I wanted to take my four-year-old camping for Labor Day weekend. I booked two weeks before, and we pulled up to meet the Foxes. Gems of humans and like becoming their 30th grandkid. Firewood ignited immediately so even the most novice fire builder will be successful. My daughter was adopted by kids in the next site over, and it felt like a cousins weekend. But the other sites felt more cut off from all that, if that’s not what you’re looking for. Recommend the Barbara Morse Wackford Community & Aquatic Complex in Elk Grove for a hot summer day trip.
The Cattail Island spot is just that with dragonflies buzzing overhead at dusk and a few frogs singing you to sleep in a site with pretty good privacy considering it’s in someone’s backyard.
Full bathroom with ADA shower and laundry, so that would be great for people in the middle of a longer road trip.
Long story short, I got to camp with my daughter by ourselves, but it felt like we were immediately part of a bigger family for the weekend. We will absolutely keep this spot on our radar for other holiday weekends. Hope to see you again, Foxes!

The camp site was private and spacious. The sound of the creek was really pleasant, and there is a tree you can put your tent under to prevent being hit with the sun first thing in the morning! The bathroom and amenities were very convenient, as was access to everything. I really liked this place and watched a beautiful sunset from my site. As I packed up to leave in the morning, I was greeted by the friendly and adorable barn kitty! All around great stay!

The best dog-friendly RV sites near Auburn guide
Where to go
Around Auburn
Private RV parks north of Auburn offer tent and RV sites, along with deluxe amenities. East of Auburn, the Auburn State Recreation Area offers hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, and the North and Middle Forks of the American River. Three campgrounds offer primitive and boat-in campsites. Head to Coloma for rafting along the South Fork of the American River and riverside camping in a tent, RV, or cabin.
Tahoe and Eldorado National Forests
Auburn is well placed to access both the Tahoe National Forest and the Eldorado National Forest, with nearly 1.5 million acres, hundreds of miles of trails, hundreds of lakes, and thousands of miles of river, including the Yuba, American, and Rubicon rivers, along with more than 100 developed campgrounds, and plenty of backcountry camping options, between the two parks. Head further east for Lake Tahoe and scenic lakeside camping options.
Sacramento and Jackson Area
Near Sacramento, several campgrounds can be found in the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area around Folsom Lake and Lake Natoma, or further south near the Sacramento River at Sandy Beach Regional Park and Brannan Island State Recreation Area. Further south near Jackson, find additional water sports and camping options around Lake Amador, Camanche Lake, and New Hogan Lake.
When to go
Summer is the most popular time for outdoor adventures and camping around Auburn, especially at the area lakes and rivers when temperatures are high and the heat is dry. Many competitions are held from spring to fall, with the peak over the summer. The fishing season runs from April to November. Visit in spring for wildflower displays and fall for colorful foliage. Winter snow and weather can affect access and availability of winter recreation activities.
