Absolutely amazing place to stay. Scott was very nice and accommodating pack light because almost everything you need is there already. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful stay there away from everybody and everything. It truly is a hidden gem!

We camped at site #4, a shady site on a small rise at Sawyers Bar. It’s a little above the Cosumnes River, but a short walk from a common area swimming hole with small beach. The swimming hole is delightful in mid-September.

Our family had an amazing late summer experience - hiking, swimming and enjoying this beautiful ranch in Amador County along the Consumnes River. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. For swimming, Tom recommended the Swimming Hole at Sawyer’s Bar, which was perfect for our six year old - a nice sandy beach with little to no current in the shallows. The campsite was spacious and clean with lots of shade and plenty of space between other sites, which made the site feel very private. We visited with a travel trailer and thought the dirt road to the campsites was well maintained when we visited. We cannot wait to visit again!

Organized a group of 4 families all with kids under 6 to camp for Labor Day weekend. Everyone had a blast splashing around in the river during the heat of the day. Definitely would consider going back another time!

We had an amazing stay at this campsite! The cold river was perfect for a refreshing float on warm days. Our spot was private with plenty of room to spread out and relax. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The area was free to explore, and nights were wonderfully quiet.

What a magical place! Hiking, Fishing & Swimming while enjoying all the dragonflies & butterflies. Took some fabulous pictures that I must print!! Peaceful, Private & Clean. Tom shared some history of the property & even some very cool pictures of his own. Loved the gated entry & all the friendly deer that hopped along side our RV as we found our perfect site near the river. It was just perfect. Thank you for sharing this hidden gem.

We stayed at site 4 sawyers bar. Overall amazing experience. Cleanest Porto potties I have ever seen, lots of space between sites. Rachel was super easy to communicate with and Tom was great. The swimming hole was perfect for kids. Nice big sandy beach about 2 min walk from site and crystal clear water.

Great location, great weather and great times with family! We really enjoyed site 6, plenty of shade, flat ground and access to the river. Host Tom stopped by daily to check in and made sure we felt welcome. Can’t wait to stay again!

Amazing spot and host! We'll definitely be back! I'd say this spot is in between glamping and camping. Running portable water, a creek, outhouses (one that actually flushed), shower, pop-up trailer and structures to sleep in and under, the list goes on. So many little spots and buildings to camp and setup at for a scenic, private camping experience.

Stayed with my wife and kids at Scott's place and had an amazing time. Scott met us at the gate and helped us drive in. Scott is extremely friendly and showed us around the property, then left us to ourselves to enjoy our time there. The place is extremely private with nobody around, it doesn't get any better than this. We had our own private creek where the kids spent a lot of time fishing for crawdads. The campsite is right on the creek, and listening to the creek while sitting around the fire was priceless. If you are looking for a private getaway in the woods, this is the place. Scott has the place setup with multiple fire pits and chopped wood, there was charcoal and propane BBQs. Also camping stoves. Two huge tables with umbrellas. Tons of blackberry bushes with blackberries that taste like candy. We couldn't have found a better place to camp. There is even a small cabin and a barn. On the day we left our car battery died, and Scott was kind enough to send his son out to help us jump our battery. Thank you guys so much! This is truly a hidden gem and we were so lucky to find this spot. Thanks again for everything Scott, appreciate you!

Just a heads up that it’s a 25-30 minute drive once you enter the gate. But I will say it’s well worth it. The swimming hole is magnificent! Comfortable temps on the water and finding a little slice of heaven in the middle of nowhere. It was a great last stop on our 2-week road trip! Would definitely come back and stay for a few days!

We loved the beauty of the Ranch and remoteness. The directions were clear and rules were reasonable. The River & geese were lovely.
The dirt road to get to campsites seemed long & dusty, but only 3 miles. Pricey for no hook ups.

The homestead is a hidden gem just a few minutes from San Andreas, CA. You’ll have to go through a couple of very shallow creeks (our SUVs had no issue crossing — and Scott helped the family navigate!) and you’ll find a rustic campsite perfect for splashing in some creeks, hanging out under the shade of trees, and relaxing under the stars. We had 2 kids with us and they love playing in the creek and swimming with tiny fishes in the watering hole. The 2 dogs were also able to run around freely. The property itself had some very cool amenities like hammocks, swings, volleyball nets, basketball hoops as well as creature comforts like running water and toilets. There’s always something to do to keep the kids busy while enjoying each other’s presence. Thank you so much, Scott, for your warm reception!

Scott is a great host. Very attentive to begin with. Gives you the run down. Takes you to your site. Then leaves you alone the rest of the time unless we reached out to him. The site and homestead is beautiful. Truly out in the nature. Real and raw camping. We tent camped. It was perfect. It was 4 adults and one child. And we had so much room. And Although we didn’t need to use it, he had all the amenities like pots and pans and grills. The only thing I will say, the pans and toys and whatever is on the property are not cleaned. The whole property needs to be approached w caution as there are a lot of spiders/ scorpions/ bugs/ mosquitos in/on everything. We came across a few spiders nest. And 2 scorpions in the outhouse toilet. We were creeped out. But we also had butterflies, grasshoppers, kitties and crawdads and enjoyed alot of the critters this place has to offer!
Not sure if I saw it on other reviews but once you reach the property it’s about another 30 mins to the campsite. Which requires good tires and going thru a couple a creeks. SUV or truck/4wheel drive is best to have. A real fun drive. Thanks Scott!
