Our family's heritage in the San Joaquin Valley is over 100 years, we are California grown!
The land was purchased from the railroad in 1908 by Grandpa Coen when he immigrated to the USA after his service to the British Empire during WW1.
Grandpa established and maintained the vineyards during his life in California's Central Valley which he left to his daughter, Irene. She kept the farming tradition going with her husband, Al, and they expanded by purchasing surrounding land and planting more vines. Today their daughter, Cheryl, and son-in-law Rand continue the family farming tradition for the next century.
These are working vineyards and family-owned for 100+ years. We have wide-open spaces to enjoy the peace and quiet of country life.

This beautiful property is situated on 55 secluded acres in the lovely foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Your adventure begins when you escape the pavement and experience three miles of beautiful scenery on a maintained dirt road. Swimming, fishing, and hiking await you. SAFE, GATED and perfect for moms who want to take their kids camping, or any one who wants to try out the camping experience but has been hesitant.
1 1/2 hours from Yosemite National Park. Reservations may be required.
Experience the abundant wild life and soothing sound of the Fresno River. Put your feet in the sand and just unplug for a few days. Each season is uniquely beautiful.
Spring hosts an abundance of green hills, wild flowers and cooler weather. The river is higher, faster and colder. New life pops up everywhere. Baby ducks, geese, quail and beaver frequent the river. Glitter Cove waterfall is in its full glory. The nights can be cool, so come prepared.
Summer is the perfect time to swim and lounge in the river. As the days heat up, the river begins to slow and warms up to a comfortable yet refreshing temperature. New beaches emerge, just waiting to be explored.
In late summer, early fall, there is a feeling of calm. The river slows significantly but still feels amazing to sit in. You can hear its gentle flow and soothing sound as it trickles over the rocks. This is a great time time to explore the river as it is mostly shallow with some swim holes.
Most of the time it is very quiet. There is another camp down stream owned by a wonderful family. They are here a couple times per week, and also rent their camp. You may hear them having fun and engaging in target practice. The river is a shared space but it is rare to see anyone else. Noise travels in the canyon so you may hear occasional barking or other vehicles. Hearing coyotes sing at night is very common. The rarely seen wildlife includes rattle snakes, bob cats, coyotes, fox, mountain lions and bears. Don't worry, our animal friends like to keep their distance. Hope to see you soon!

Musick Creek Falls — Waterfalls, Stargazing and stunning Landscapes Just minutes from Shaver Lake, your wilderness escape begins. Welcome to our 40 acres of quiet forest, sun-warmed granite, and the steady sound of cascading water. Each campsite is private and thoughtfully placed, with a gazebo, access to fresh spring water, and nearby swimming holes carved naturally into the creek. Nestled along the edge of the Sierra National Forest, this hidden retreat blends adventure, comfort, and sustainability. The surrounding area offers no shortage of nearby highlights, including Shaver Lake, the giant sequoias of McKinley Grove, the trails and swimming holes of the Dinky Creek Wilderness, year-round recreation at China Peak, and day trips to Yosemite, Sierra, and Kings Canyon National Parks, home to the General Sherman Tree. Many guests, however, find the waterfalls, forest, and dark skies here more than enough to fill their stay. Spend your days swimming in natural pools, stargazing through our shared telescope, or resting in a hammock beneath towering cedars. Dogs are welcome to roam off-leash under supervision, and the open terrain keeps tails busy. Guests explore private trails, try their hand at gold panning, scramble granite boulders, or borrow a free kayak for nearby Shaver Lake. Rugged yet accessible (4×4 helpful in winter), Musick Creek Falls offers pristine camping, mountain views, and exceptionally clear night skies. Four secluded sites keep a light footprint on the land and include composting toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. Our conservation ethos is guided by the original caretakers of this region—the Nüümü, known today as the Mono or Potuck people. Rather than relying on massive machine-cut firebreaks, aerial pesticide spraying, or “pines in lines” replanting, we take a slower, place-based approach. We use controlled burning, hands-on fuel reduction, selective native plant culling, and encourage the land to regenerate naturally. Just as important, we believe sharing the land is essential, because stewardship only lasts when people are connected to it. This is a rugged mountain property. Terrain can be steep, rocks near the creek are often slick, and nights are very dark. Campers should be prepared for off grid camping and up for adventure!

Welcome to Camp SourBerry! Here, you can pitch your tent with a view. You can enjoy the feeling of rural seclusion while within walking distance (~1 mile) from shops and restaurants in Oakhurst. The South Gate to Yosemite National Park is less than a 30-minute drive (~75 minutes drive-time to the Valley floor), and Bass Lake's shores are only 15 minutes away.
Local wildlife is abundant. Wild turkeys are a common sighting, especially in the spring and fall, as are squirrels, bears, deer, coyotes, and bobcats, plus all kinds of native birds (hawks, quail, jays, woodpeckers, ravens, vultures, and eagles). We have a small homestead-style farm and so do the neighbors, so you can hear the distant sounds of chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats, and cows. Because the safety of our animals (and yours) is paramount, we do not allow pets off-leash.
Whether you want to stay put and enjoy the natural setting or have a base from which to explore world-class attractions, we would love to host your next vacation.

Shandie is an amazing host! She offered us free firewood because the temperatures got so low at night. She’s very personable and keeps a very well maintained property.
This site was absolutely stunning. There are a handful of waterfalls right in the campsite. You can also explore the area and end up in the national forest if you go far enough.

We had the most amazing stay at the Midway Lookout. This site is a little hilly for those that are looking to back straight into a spot, but we packed everything in. Also, theres 2 fire pits, but we only used the lower one, as we had a very large tent with us. The views from here are impressive, especially sunset and sunrise, and the sounds of the waterfall so peaceful. Shandie made sure to greet us when we arrived, and gave us a lot of advice on trails, sights, amenities, and made us feel very welcomed. Jesse also was a great host delivering firewood, giving us some history of the area and checking to be sure we were comfortable.
Overall this was exactly what we were hoping for for our 1st camping trip with 2 kiddos under 10. Very peaceful, little adventure, and lots of memories.
The nights do get very chilly, but even prior to our stay Shandie was very communicative and let us know some of what to expect, so we were well prepared. I can't say thank you enough to how amazing our hosts were and how well they take care of this amazing location.
We will definitely be back when the weather gets warmer so we can spend more time in the pools by the lower falls.

My friend and I had such a great getaway to Shandie’s land. It is really picturesque and peaceful, and the Midway Lookout was great. We loved that it was so close to the falls but not too close to be super loud. We spent the day dipping our feet in the pool under the upper falls, cooked outside a ton. The availability of firewood was a game changer and super appreciated. The outhouse was so charming and genuinely clean and fresh. Shandie was also around to show us how to get to some of the other falls. I would definitely be thrilled to come back and I’d stay at the same ground.

2 nights at Hidden Falls Yosemite Camp
We had an excellent time at Hudson and Wendy’s cabin. It was perfectly cozy in the lower temps in the evening and early morning and the little deck was just enough space to do our cooking and have morning coffee. The distance to Yosemite entrance was so convenient (about 25 min) and the view to the waterfall from the deck is just unforgettable. The setup was excellent and the only thing that could’ve made it better is a bathroom close by but I know they are working on getting it completed soon. ☺️ the bathroom down the hill was not that far but we mostly just used the little pop-up setup. Our car battery died on one night and Wendy and Hudson were very responsive in helping us out which we so appreciated!! Would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a lovely camping experience with the comforts of a cabin structure, bed, and heater/AC.
