The tent camping area is fenced and we have not had any bears on the property, but we do have a few shy farm cats and the occasional racoon. For this reason, we ask all campers to be mindful about storing food and disposing of trash in the provided bins. The ranch is comprised of the camping lawns, camping facilities, several homes on the property (two Air BnB and the owner's home) and the motorcycle workshop. Car and RV campers are welcomed and there is plenty of car/RV parking on the asphalt lot outside the fence at the East Side of the property near the mailboxes at the intersection of Rte 4 and Brice Station Road.

Very remote off grid barn with an outhouse, vegetable garden, fruit trees, and small vineyard that I make wine from. There's a creek that runs through the property with Indian grinding holes. We also have volleyball, horseshoes, hiking trails, and much more!
You will be in gold country where you can still find gold in the creek to this day! If you're lucky, you might find a nugget, but there's mostly pickers and fines.
The nights are absolutely stunning for viewing the stars with no light pollution. You will have almost complete privacy, with the exception of an occasional over head aircraft. I have only one group at a time.

Zen Yurt in Murphys
19. Zen Yurt in Murphys
13mi from Jamestown · 1 site
We have a beautiful 45-acre slice of foothill forest-meets-town life to offer, with a glamping experience built around a Japanese bathhouse vibe and a lot of DIY determination.
The yurt sits next to a "spa garden," a serene wellness area with a sauna, Japanese soaking tub (ofuro), garden nooks, and a Japanese bathhouse-style setup. Almost everything out here is host-built—even the bricks in the bathhouse were hand-hewn. Soak as long as you like, breathe the pine air, and let your nervous system defrag.
While the yurt and spa garden sit on the edge of a forest, you’re still only about a 10-minute walk to Main Street Murphys—a ridiculously cute Gold Country town with tasting rooms, great food, indie shops, and a surprisingly legit live music scene. It’s wine country with small-town energy. Maybe what Napa was like in the ’60s?
Because we sit right on the border of town and forest, you’ll get a real blend of sounds: wind in the trees, coyotes in the field, and owl calls at night… plus the sounds of kids playing in the churchyard and a dog down the way. It’s not deep-wilderness silent—more “edge-of-town retreat” quiet.
For exploring, you can hike straight from the property up our hill—Rocky Hill, as locals know it. It’s a fun, scrambly wander with big views, and it also taps into the area’s Gold Rush history: you’ll find caves and old miner ruins along the way.
Come for glamping comfort, backcountry vibes, and town tacos within strolling distance!

Very remote off grid barn with an outhouse, vegetable garden, fruit trees, and small vineyard that I make wine from. There's a creek that runs through the property with Indian grinding holes. We also have volleyball, horseshoes, hiking trails, and much more!
You will be in gold country where you can still find gold in the creek to this day! If you're lucky, you might find a nugget, but there's mostly pickers and fines.
The nights are absolutely stunning for viewing the stars with no light pollution. You will have almost complete privacy, with the exception of an occasional over head aircraft. I have only one group at a time.

Zen Yurt in Murphys
19. Zen Yurt in Murphys
13mi from Jamestown · 1 site
We have a beautiful 45-acre slice of foothill forest-meets-town life to offer, with a glamping experience built around a Japanese bathhouse vibe and a lot of DIY determination.
The yurt sits next to a "spa garden," a serene wellness area with a sauna, Japanese soaking tub (ofuro), garden nooks, and a Japanese bathhouse-style setup. Almost everything out here is host-built—even the bricks in the bathhouse were hand-hewn. Soak as long as you like, breathe the pine air, and let your nervous system defrag.
While the yurt and spa garden sit on the edge of a forest, you’re still only about a 10-minute walk to Main Street Murphys—a ridiculously cute Gold Country town with tasting rooms, great food, indie shops, and a surprisingly legit live music scene. It’s wine country with small-town energy. Maybe what Napa was like in the ’60s?
Because we sit right on the border of town and forest, you’ll get a real blend of sounds: wind in the trees, coyotes in the field, and owl calls at night… plus the sounds of kids playing in the churchyard and a dog down the way. It’s not deep-wilderness silent—more “edge-of-town retreat” quiet.
For exploring, you can hike straight from the property up our hill—Rocky Hill, as locals know it. It’s a fun, scrambly wander with big views, and it also taps into the area’s Gold Rush history: you’ll find caves and old miner ruins along the way.
Come for glamping comfort, backcountry vibes, and town tacos within strolling distance!

We loved everything about Ryan’s place! The bed in the van was very comfortable, and sitting by the van watching the sunset was amazing. The bathroom was super clean, and we were able to cook on the gas stove quite well. Stargazing was awesome too! His two very friendly dogs came to say hello,
Ryan’s communication was great.

What a hidden treasure.
We enjoyed a serene thanksgiving, and a visit from a blue heron.
You can see Barry's love and care for the land. The facilities are clean, and there's even a hot water sink.
Didn't get to get the boats this time, but definitely will return to try them next time.

Ryan was a great host and very gracious. We purchased firewood from him and he brought us kindling twice when we were having trouble, teaching us about making fires along the way. We have an RV, but there is an outhouse with toilet and hot shower, and a sink to do dishes on the other side. Great view of the stars with minimal light pollution. Would recommend.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this HipCamp! The tent site was perfect — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. Everything we needed was there, from a well-equipped kitchen and fridge to spotless indoor toilets (such a bonus when camping with kids!). We went on the river a couple of times and the kids loved playing in it.
Barry, our host, was attentive, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. Firewood was available for purchase, which made our evenings around the campfire even better.
I came with my two kids, and we all had such a great time — we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for an easy, relaxing, and well-run camping experience.

My partner and I loved staying at Cole’s Ranch! Barry is extremely hospitable and organized. All of the amenities he provides were also super clean; we really appreciated the clean bathroom and kitchen area. Highly recommend the tour he provides as well! We ended up booking the hay ride and cow/calf experience and all of their cows were friendly and loved being pet. We’re definitely going to come back again next time!

My buddy and I wanted to get back into camping, and we heard about Hipcamp from a friend. We found Fisherman's Hideout on Cole Ranch just about 20 minutes from his house. Barry messaged us immediately after we booked and sent us a thorough welcome packet that had all of the information regarding our visit. He came right out to us when he saw us pull into our campsite. He was super friendly and we got a tour of the property from his wife. The campsite was clean and had a new firepit with benches. The bathrooms were clean and we had a great first Hipcamp experience. We will definitely be back again

The RV sites are well laid out, spacious, and flat, next to a lovely pomegranate orchard and near a pleasant river. Barry was extremely friendly and helpful, greeting us when we got there and showing us around the amenities. The boats available for use were great, and the kitchen area provided a place with hot water on demand to do dishes so we didn’t have to heat it up on our stove. My only regret was not bringing fishing gear along; maybe next time, since we will definitely keep this on our list of places to come back to.

I don't know which was more lovely, the camp ground or the hosts. Everything was amazing. The kitchen and bathrooms were not just clean, they were nice...like nice nice. The grounds were clean and very well kept. I go camping every year for my birthday, and this year was the best. I will 100% be back.

I really enjoyed tent camping at Michele and Patrick’s vast property. Very accommodating and amazing sights as well as a wonderful train track that looks over the cliff.
I would definitely recommend campers to visit their land and enjoy the stars.
There is running water, a fully stocked bathroom, and it’s dog friendly! My puppy loved it.
