Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

What a beautiful place - We loved the campsite. Distance from other sites was perfect. The river is so pretty and the walking paths were easy for kids. Really enjoyed our stay

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

This camp site is amazing! Tucked back on the hill so you get both shade and sun. Only 100ft (if that to the river). Nice swimming spot even though the currant is a little strong. Can drive straight up to camp site and have truck parked next to tent. All the camp sites are very clean and the Porto potties are the cleanest I have ever seen. Made the stay much better knowing they have clean toilets to use. Lots of privacy, camp site 8 is about 50 yards from site 9, and camp site 10 is all the way down at the end (can’t see them, nor hear them), love this spot!! Tom the property manager was awesome and super friendly. We chatted with him everyday as he came down to check on us and what a great guy. Rachael is also super friendly and has great communication in timely manner. Highly recommend booking this place.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

This was our 86 trip in 3.5 years and is im the top 5 for sure. Tom checked in with us upon arrival and each day. The campsites are SO private and close to river. Not only are quiet hours enforced but noise overall the way camping should be. We shared a porta potty with another camp which was extremely clean. Put this campground on your go to list.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

We loved tent camping on Site 10 of Rowan’s camp. Directions were clear and easy to follow. Everything is clearly labeled. The area is nice and sandy. It’s right next to the river. Portable toilet was perfectly cleaned and a short, but good distance from the site. Even though it rained, we loved it! Would definitely return again in the summer. We were greeted by Tom on arrival and he checked in on us the next day as well. There is a picnic table here, which is convenient. We were glad we brought our canopies! It’s a beautiful spot.

Absolutely beautiful isolated campsite right on the river, plenty of space for the 18 of us that came together, perfect weather in April, I highly recommend this spot

Weekend Trip to Private Reservoir

Had a great time here! Caught fish, used the canoe and paddle boat. Loved pulling the 5th wheel right up to the water. Kids had a great time and we’ll definitely be back. Thanks for sharing your property! Only thing we’d love to see added for the future is a picnic table, but otherwise the extra amenities were much appreciated!

Weekend Trip to The Painted Lake

This was my first experience camping on someone’s personal land. I had the opportunity to camp with my friend and her group of friends. Jeremy provided very detailed instructions for entry and location on the property, but even if you get confused he is super helpful and such a chill guy! We even met his son Hawk who helped make a fire pit for us! We camped on the horse and lake view site, which is right at the chicken coop. *Bonus* we were allowed to collect eggs to enjoy 😊 Something to look ahead is for weather, depending on your vehicle because there are a few steep inclines that get slippery in the rain. Also, bring shoes to hike in to go down to the lake as that also has a steep incline. Being able to pet the animals made the hiking worth it! We got to play with Juno and Luna along with the goats, horses and chickens. Side note, there are a lot of fun spots for photo ops. I would definitely camp here again!

Weekend Trip to The Painted Lake

Awesome time With a great view! Host was so kind and accommodating. We had so much fun kayaking. Convenient that there was a chicken coop with fresh eggs just a 3 min walk away. WARNING there is a semi steep hill dividing the tree house from outdoor kitchen/shower/portapotty. Car is parked maybe 4min walk away from treehouse and you have to cross the hill to reach the car, so just keep that in mind.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

Beautiful site, this place is huge !!! Really good spot to disconnect, no cell coverage so it helps :) We had some rain but that was ok. Owner stopped by, very welcoming. Everything is well maintained and clean. Will come back for sure if there are space !

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

My girlfriend and our pups needed a break from the city. Rachel’s land was the perfect gem to retreat too! The views were fantastic and we loved hiking around the property observing the cows from afar. Would come back again!

3 nights at Cosumnes River Ranch

It was beautiful! Very peaceful. We had a trailer and camped on the river. The sites were very spread out so lots of privacy. Tom the ranch manager came thru daily and helped with anything needed and answered lots of questions on almost anything, from how to pronounce the name of the river to local flower and trees. A great wealth of knowledge. There were lots of dirt roads to ride our e-bikes on which was a lot of fun! We will definitely go back and stay longer next time.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

We stayed one night at Rachael’s campsite and absolutely loved it—especially Site 5! It was incredibly spacious and right next to the river, which made the experience so peaceful and relaxing. Even though our stay was short, we left feeling refreshed. We’ll definitely be coming back for a longer stay next time!

2 nights at Bella Branch at SE Ranch

Fantastic hosts, beautiful scenery, great experience.

Wonderful hosts. Great sites. Easy access. Cute little shop with trinkets to buy. Fresh eggs for sale.

1 night at Squirrel Rock RV Campground

Located a couple of minutes outside of the gold rush town of Columbia, Squirel rock is a gem of a campsite. it’s possibly the nicest private camping you can find anywhere! The site is impeccably maintained and Julie has thought of just about every creature comfort one would need when RV camping.

This is my favorite spot, with the best host. So happy I made it out in spring, this time!

Like many other reviews two thumbs up for this place. First, many of the sites themselves are right on the river and have been designed to give you a lot of privacy from the other sites. There is also hiking available, both on the river (some that require bushwhacking) and others along the dirt road with some trails that leave the road. We didn’t have time to check out those trails off the road but hope to next time. Overall we were very impressed with this place and what a fantastic job they did in creating some awesome campsites. As they note, this place is definitely for boondockers although they provide portable toilets that are well placed for convenience but also not too close to your campsite. A wonderful place to camp for a few days to either relax or do some hiking or biking. Lastly, if you have a Class B or C RV you might note they say you can’t RV there but check with Rachel and she will let you know what sites will work for your rig. We have a 23’ Class C and there are plenty of (but not all) sites to camp for that.

Weekend Trip to Private Reservoir

We had a wonderful camping experience at this spot. The host was incredibly helpful and a great communicator. Fishing in the pond was very successful, and I caught quite a few. We would definitely recommend this location to others. Thanks for a great time!

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

It was great camping on Rachel's land. The river was beautiful, our site was nice and private and the weather was perfect. We got a little turned around with the map we were given but we found our own beach to relax at. 10/10
