There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with our beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork Cosumnes river. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! In the area there are many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting! It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. We are happy to make suggestions for local hiking areas, like the Devil's Slide "Gorge" only a 15 minute drive but like a trip to mini Yosemite. The Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the our house (literally 200' away!). Our property became a pivotal point of fighting the fire in our community known as the “Ant Hill Army”.

1 night at Camp 🏕 Gold Dust Vineyard

We stayed here to celebrate my husband’s birthday with our 9-month-old, and it was such a wonderful experience. We loved that we could upgrade provisions, we used the propane tank for the fire pit and the pour-over coffee setup, which came with freshly roasted beans (amazing!). The whole place has this relaxing, no-nonsense vibe that we really appreciated. We went during the fall, and it was so beautiful seeing the vines changing color. The electric blanket made our night cozy and comfortable even when it got chilly. Aaron was outstanding. His hospitality, knowledge, and genuine passion for his craft really stood out. We enjoyed wine tasting, hanging out in the “vincade,” and my husband watched a bit of Monday Night Football! The wine was fantastic, and we were so impressed we ended up joining the wine club. The yurt was spacious and comfy, the bed was great, and there was plenty of room for our daughter to crawl around. The portapotty was clean, and everything felt thoughtfully maintained. Just an overall relaxing, memorable trip. Can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

Beautiful spot and so so much wildlife, nature, beautiful trees and water. Everything was very peaceful and the night was very alive with sound from the native creatures (cicadas/ owls/ birds/ toads/ etc). This spot is Very Dark. Would recommend bringing extra lighting than usual. Bathrooms are a steep, far hike from most sites it seemed like. We tracked to see how far away from our site (6) it was, and it was 1/4 mile. There was limited signage to get in and around the sites so it was hard to find where to go at first.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

First time booking through Hipcamp & it was such a great experience! We had a group of 7 & 4 dogs for a Fri-Sun. We mainly chose this site because of the close proximity to the river, and the qty of cars and pets were not as strict as other sites. Noleen gave specific instructions on how to get to the site which were so helpful. We came from The Bay and took the I-80 to Hwy 50 via Apple Maps and didn’t encounter the impassable road she mentions in her instructions. I have AT&T and was still able to have a little reception most of the time but nothing 100% stable. I suggest downloading an offline map for the area just in case your carrier doesn’t offer good support in off the grid-ish locations. Like others said, the shade was great but in peak afternoon heat, you can’t really escape it in certain areas. This wasn’t too much of a problem for us as we had multiple canopies and went in October. At this time, bugs weren’t a big issue. We were proactive about our bug control and used various deterrents especially around the food. I think they worked for the most part with an exception of a few persistent wasps & honey bees per day. As for sleeping overnight, we left our food in storage bins and coolers outside of the cars and no critters were attracted. Granted, we had dogs with us so that also could’ve scared them away since we def heard a few suspicious noises. Overall, our whole group loved the site and we all had a memorable time!

Our group of 10 had an excellent trip at Group Site 8! The instructions were very clear, and we had plenty of space for parking and camping. We enjoyed swimming in the river, and there was a big enough beach space for all of us to hang out comfortably. It was very nice to have a real toilet in the outhouse! We will definitely be back to this site.

The family had a great time. The swimming hope was a standout as was loads of shade under the Camp 5 oak tree grove which was perfect for our wiffelball shenanigans. Another standout were our hosts who went above and beyond to help us jump our suv after the battery died. They spend at leave 30mins with us and they didn’t have to. So, do recommend the space and the hosts. Do not recommend forgetting that your car doors and tailgate have lights in them that will stay on until the battery dies. 😉

Our group of 3 adults and 5 kids had a wonderful time! The cabin was clean and comfortable, and there was plenty of space for tents. The swimming holes were gorgeous, even better than the pictures. There was a good mix of shallow water appropriate for our babies, and deeper water for swimming. It was also fun to watch the chickens! We ended up leaving a night early due to a wildfire in the area, but it was a great trip nonetheless. We are already talking about trying to come back in the future.
