Once an asparagus farm for Heinz, the property was left neglected for over 25 years.

From local wine tasting to boating, fishing or just enjoying the nearby collectic towns,

We recently did a trip to some Calaveras County attractions and found Squirrel Rock for our stay with our 25' trailer. The owners did a great job setting up the site for visitors. Parking and hooking up was very easy. The site had a bunch of cool things to do while hanging out (introduced my kids to horseshoes and they loved the games bin). They gave us some recommendations for nearby food (which were awesome!). We would definitely stay here again and recommend it for others too!!

A well-maintained and charming campsite where you feel a lot of privacy. Tidy, well-kept with a cozy and thoughtfully designed layout. It offered all the necessary facilities, including games, a pergola, and a neat table with a tablecloth. The pitch was spacious, quiet and we saw deer, rabbits an of course squirels. The site is within walking distance of Columbia - highly recommended for gold panning and exploring the historic town. A beautiful and perfect location to plan for in a road trip through the American West.
