Salmon Creek Ranch

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents400 acres · Bodega Bay, CA
Located within 45 minutes of the wine country and 2 miles from the coast, our property is 400 acres of rolling hills and redwood groves, with a creek running along its base. With miles of trails meandering through quiet woods and meadows, you will be able to revel in the tranquility of a private preserve, without sacrificing easy access to some of Sonoma County's most famous attractions. A hundred years ago, this land was used to graze sheep. Remnants of the old fence lines can still be seen in places, along with old cement troughs. Since then, the land has been left to its own devices, passing through many hands, most famously owned by two brothers in the 1980's who built a truly amazing tree house in the forest which has been featured in several magazine articles. It was revamped and updated in 2016 by a master craftsman, using fallen redwood logs found on the property and is now a unique structural work of art, available for overnight stays. We produce 100% grass fed, dry-aged beef on our certified organic pastures and have a store on site if you would like to purchase delicious steaks, ribs, ground beef for hamburgers or some roasts to take home. Our cattle graze on the native grasses, never grain, and drink only water produced from our own springs. We also raise Kiko meat goats and produce pastured, certified organic duck eggs on a commercial basis. Whether it's surfing at sandy beaches, award-winning clam chowder, a wine tour, horseback riding or a hot air balloon ride you're after, you won't have far to drive if you make our ranch your base camp. You may see a family of deer appear suddenly, or a few Scottish Highland cows which we allow to roam freely over the property. There are over twenty species of wild birds that grace this protected spot, so bring your binoculars! A portion of your fee goes towards protecting native flora and fauna as part of our private wildlife preservation program. A limited number of private, widely spaced camp spots are available for visitors. The Eagles' Nest Treehouse (mentioned above) is very isolated and you may or may not even be aware that there are other people within miles of you. For those who value nature, seclusion, quiet and the artistry of old growth redwood, this is the place for you.

For further information or for a price sheet, please inquire with the camp host. Well behaved dogs are welcome at Finley Camp. All dogs must be kept on leash at all times while on the property. There are no exceptions to this. Finley Camp is located on an active cattle ranch and directly adjacent to a neighboring ranch with cattle. Also be sure to check out our orchard tours.

Fab Future Forest

3 sites · Lodging, Tents40 acres · Geyserville, CA
This beautiful primary forest and nature reserve is located on the west slopes of Dry Creek Valley, with spectacular views overlooking vineyards and rolling hills. Come and enjoy a low-impact elevated camping experience, peaceful hikes, and nearby wineries (some within walking distance). You will be in a peaceful forest paradise, while still enjoying the convenience of 60 wineries less than 12 minutes away, Healdsburg Plaza and Lake Sonoma only 15 minutes away, and Russian River adventures, Santa Rosa movie theaters, and scores of restaurants within a 10 to 25-minute drive. The forest is on the natural frontier between coastal rainforest and inland forest. You will see redwood fairy rings and fallen redwoods indicating that rainforest covered the property centuries ago. Inland forest crept in at least 150 years ago when some of the magnificent, moss-covered oaks first sprouted. The biggest rainforest foothold is a grove of old-growth Douglas Firs in the northwest corner of the forest. Here's a partial list of fungi, flora, and fauna: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Del_ca3bE1DxjQU75e6muD7OA1387j7jMIw0waidzdM/edit?usp=sharing We are striving to improve the health of the forest as we share it with you. We don't clear or level campsites, but rather, we offer you the unique opportunity to enjoy a stay in a suspended treenet tipi or in the most comfortable all-weather hammock camping setup available. In this same forest-healing spirit, paths to the campsites follow deer trails and fallen redwoods to minimize the impact on vegetation and underground mycelium networks. In managing the forest, we only cut invasive trees or native trees that have died. The result is that you get the increasingly rare experience of a forest that has never been logged and where dead trees were left to feed hundreds of species of fungi. We are so happy to be able to share the sights and sounds and smells of this magnificent forest with you. We hope you enjoy it and please let us know if there is anything that we can do to make your stay more pleasant.

River, stream, or creek camping near Guerneville with fishing guide

Overview

Step back in time at Guerneville, a California vacation town where life moves a little slower. Nestled on the banks of the Russian River, it's Sonoma County like you've never seen it. Camping here puts forested mountains, ancient redwoods, and the best of wine country at your doorstep.

On the meandering Russian River, families get stoked about kayaking, canoeing, or tubing downriver. Johnson's Beach is a favorite sandy stretch, offering paddle boat rentals, lounge chairs, and a kiddie pool.

If you crave adventure, step into Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve. While the trails here are short, the Armstrong Woods are a must-visit in Sonoma County. Camp among giants in a Redwood grove, or gawk up at Colonel Armstrong—the park's oldest tree at 1,400 years old.

Just north of the reserve, you arrive at Austin Creek State Recreation Area. Towering redwoods give way to 5,700 acres of rolling meadows and open forests with 20 miles of hiking trails. Gear up for backcountry camping, or set up camp at the easy-access tent campground.

When you follow the Russian River to the Pacific, you reach Sonoma Coast State Park. Rugged sea cliffs and colonies of sea lions are the stunning backdrops to the park's hiking trails and campgrounds.

If you have extra time, enjoy some wine tasting at the local wineries, cycle through town, or explore the eclectic galleries of Guerneville. While this Northern California town has great weather year round, keep in mind some of the beaches and river activities close for the winter.

When it's time to call it a night, head to one of the private campgrounds, state campgrounds, or RV parks that dot the Russian River Valley. If you'd rather glamp in wine country, treat yourself to a cottage, deluxe cabin, decked-out tent, or even a vintage Airstream trailer. In Guerneville, you can camp your way.
