Joelle's land is a truly wild nature gem 💎🌳, and we felt so lucky to have this entire slice of paradise to ourselves. The best part was the privacy—the whole place was ours 🙌, offering a perfect, immersive escape into nature 🌲.
Joelle has thought of everything you could possibly need. We were pleasantly surprised by how well-equipped the site was; we even found a wine opener 🍷 which absolutely saved our night! While this isn't a hotel and you should come prepared to be surrounded by nature 🏕️, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay.
A major highlight was the convenience to local gems.
The Hartford Family Winery is a quick 5-minute drive 🍇🚗 away, and their wine tasting was incredible.
On our last day, we had a fantastic, lazy 5-hour boat trip downriver to Guerneville ☀️😎. Joelle was an exceptionally generous and welcoming host 💖—she even handled our logistics, taking care of our drop-off after we drove our car to Guerneville.
We wish Joelle all the best and hope to see her dreams of building the tree houses 🏡✨ and all her other projects come to reality!
This is an absolute must-book for anyone looking for a unique, wild, and fully supported camping adventure! ⭐️

Joelle was a very sweet and welcoming host. The land is magical and being able to access your very own little piece of river is invaluable. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Wildhaven Sonoma Glamping
Glamping at Wildhaven was a wonderful experience! The campgrounds were well maintained with all the amenities you could ask for - clean toilets, showers, cooking area, etc. We would definitely stay here again!

Joelle was a wonderful host who was always quick to respond from before the stay to throughout our time there. When we had a concern about another group on the property, she was proactive in addressing it.
The area that we booked on the lower tier was spacious, and it's arranged such that there was only one other group on our tier at the far end near the trail down to the river. A third group was on the upper tier separately by trees, and a fourth group was situated on the island.

Thank you so much for your hospitality! Lorri was easy to speak with and made sure all of our needs were met. The proximity to the wedding and venue we were attending was so close. We were able extend for an extra night.

Superb spot! We loved being on the island! Worth the wade! Joelle was super communicative and lovely and has decorated the hideaway sites on land beautifully too. It was also fun launching our wee boat from our own beach. We’re definitely coming back!

While the mainland sites are cute and beautifully decorated, the island site is truly special! Just incredible to camp on your own island! Totally worth the wade…Joelle is a wonderfully friendly and communicative host.

My family and I stayed two nights here at this Camp. We loved every second of it. Joelle made sure that we had everything we needed, including tubes to float down the river. The grounds are beautiful. Multiple barbecues and areas for bonfires and the beach is just steps away. We will definitely be coming back.

Such a great location right on the river. The access to the river was easy with a walk across shallow water to get to the island where there was a nice beach with shade and without shade. We swam and floated all day. The camping areas are nice and have shade structures set up. We brought our own tents, but there was one available. Joelle was helpful, friendly and accessible. She taught us how to get the charcoal grill going because I hadn’t done it in 20+ years. You do hear road noises and would hear other campers if they were there, but we had the place to ourselves. We hope to come back!

We loved our stay at the river camp! It was the perfect combination of scenic, private, and accessible to the river. Joelle was a great host and was thoughtful and communicative throughout. We can't wait to come back!

This spot was the perfect blend of camping out with some built in amenities that made it super convenient and fun. The availability to go swimming in the river was awesome.

Joelle was amazing, made her self available whenever we needed and was able to provide major things in her camp site (i.e. tent, grill, table) to name a few. We had such a great time in the river and being outside. I would just say it’s super close to the road so you might hear some cars but if you’re having fun like us you barely hear it haha. Anyways a lovely stay, great host, fun vibes, nothing could go wrong staying here! Also If you are worried about bugs like me, there wasn’t really a big issue with them out there!

This property has amazing private access to the river, and is very close to steelhead beach.
With that being said, it is directly off River Road which is busy with vehicles flying on the road at all hours (earplugs help, but still expect to hear vehicles).
The trail down to the river is a little steep and slippery and could use a guide rope/ steps cut into the dirt (wear good shoes!).
We booked the Island site, and was the only booking so the Host Joelle kindly offered us our choice of the sites. We checked out the options. When one first walks into the property it is laid out as follows: the upper terrace is “paradise tier 1” site, then walk down to the 2nd terrace to “paradise tier 2” site, then walk down the trail to the river and cross the water (knee high on our visit on 8/20/2025) to the island where 1st there is a decent sized clearing in the middle of the greenery for a 4 person tent and then further is a large clearing for maybe a couple tents or more. We chose “tier 2” as a happy-medium because one of us is more adventurous than the other. Our 2nd night we chose “tier 1” because it was warmer in the fun trailer.
One of us preferred to have camped on the island but the other was not interested in making the river crossing @ night.
We enjoyed our stay, we came to spend time on the river and this was a great place to make our base camp. This property is a diamond in the rough, looking forward to returning and seeing the growth! Grateful for the stay!

We stayed at Site 1. It was a beautiful view and gave us a good amount of privacy with a large camp space. It was also relatively quiet and we even got to see a wedding happen! There were a few things that would benefit this space and experience: 1) The ground was very hard at this particular site and it was difficult to put our metal stakes in for our Springbar tent with several of the stakes bending. Next time I would bring different stakes. 2) There was one porta potty being shared across three or four camps sites with ours being the furthest away. It would've been great to have one at/or closer to the site. 3) With the winds kicking up, we felt uncomfortable having a fire as there's brush and twigs in very close proximity to the fire ring. The host assured us it was fine, but we were overly cautious as we use open fire cooking often and used our own judgement.
Ultimately, I would come back here again and book the same site. The host was very accommodating and even directly brought us our firewood and grate. We felt very safe and we loved being so close to the lake!

Wonderful place to camp. Great view of the lake from our site. Very responsive proprietors. They were always quick to answer my questions about fire restrictions and water availability by email. When I checked in Dave was more than gracious and made me feel at home. We spent two nights here and spent one day on the lake. It is hard to beat the location. They're clearly investing in improving the campground. You can see the good work they are doing.

Joelle's place was great for a quick getaway. It is close to everything you might need but private and comfortable. Joelle was the most hospitable host I have dealt with from any vacation rental site/app.
