Stories from the community

3 nights at Timber Cove Campground

We camped at Brenda’s timber cove campground at the waterfall site. It is beautiful and easy enough access to a nice hike with ocean views. Had a wonderful time and look forward to staying again!

Weekend Trip to Quail Creek Ranch

Had a great weekend camping with my young kids and a couple other dads and their kids. The kids loved the creek. Bathroom was clean and potable water was available. We’d definitely come back.

Weekend Trip to Wild Canyon Ranch CA

Tyler was a great host and his campsite is the perfect spot for anyone that wants to bring a group! Would definitely come back given the occasion. The amenities are really nice for camping for a big group. Kitchen area was great, bathrooms and showers are nice for people that aren’t too cut out for camping.

1 night at spirit chicken ranch

This was gorgeous, magical land, and we loved being there. The road down was a bit more of a pilgrimage than we anticipated, but 1000% worth the journey. The waterfall pools were incredible, and our pup was in heaven too. Thank you for sharing such special land with us- we hope to return!

1 night at Duncan Peak Vineyards

Beautiful views. Nice flat shat area. Easy directions and really nice friendly dogs

1 night at Finley Camp

Super secluded if thats what you are looking for:) I loved it 2nd time staying on that site. Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to spirit chicken ranch

Chris is an amazing host. We so enjoyed our stay at Spirit Chicken Ranch. The swimming hole, the sauna the kitchen and space for the dogs was a dream. I will for sure be returning.

Weekend Trip to Finley Camp

We had another great stay at Finely Camp. It continues to be on of our favorite places for us to get away and being so close to Bodega Bay is fantastic!

Weekend Trip to Finley Camp

Beautiful spot, super private and well-kept. Option to buy firewood ahead of time. Also surplus wood available right outside camp in case you use more than expected. Porta potties were clean and well maintained. Site 3 was in the valley and it was a really cool experience to just look up at the forest climbing on either side. We came in a rented camper truck which was a little dicey on some of the dirt roads but still manageable. Would totally come here again and recommend to others. Esp bigger parties. Daniel was great too!

Weekend Trip to Finley Camp

Daniel is great and so is his property. I would highly recommend and would love to stay again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Finley Camp

Awesome grassy field contained by trees in every direction. We loved it!

Weekend Trip to Duncan Peak Vineyards

Beautiful space. Stayed in a tent and woke up to a gorgeous sunrise.

2 nights at Finley Camp

Beautiful site, beautiful location, nice and secluded and the weather was really nice. only issue was that around 6pm we started getting harassed by a very bold skunk but that is no fault of the site. would recommend and will definitely be back.

1 night at Duncan Peak Vineyards

Site 1- Our Rv fit perfectly on a gravelly road between vineyards. It was easy to find and we enjoyed going into Hopland. The view was very scenic.

3 nights at Mandala Springs Wellness Center

The sites by the stream are amazing. Listening to the water all night was so peaceful! It’s a plus that they have electrical outlets as well. The facilities are great, but since it was a holiday the garbage was overflowing and bathrooms a bit messy. Assuming they didn’t have enough staff on Memorial Day.

Weekend Trip to Salmon Creek Ranch

We had such an amazing, peaceful, and memorable time here. It was the first time my girls went camping and they are hooked. It’s exactly what I wanted them to experience. Not a lot of people and just pure nature. The duck eggs were a nice addition and we were so close to Bodega Bay. We will definitely be back again and again!

Weekend Trip to Above the Clouds RV Park

Amazing night skies, great views of Sonoma Valley in daylight. Hosts were quite charming and very accommodating. Easy access to hiking and Sonoma Vineyards. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Quail Creek Ranch

Really nice open area that can easily accommodate multiple families. fun grassy area for activities. the bar lights are a really nice feature. the creek was fun for the kids to splash around in and catch frogs. fire pit by the creek and picnic table was great. easy to get to - access is not a problem. nearby great little towns Calistoga and Middletown. Only 15 min from Clear Lake.

Weekend Trip to spirit chicken ranch

We loved staying at Spirit Chicken Ranch! We had a group of 25 adults and kids and our whole group had a blast and really enjoyed spreading out across the sites. The outdoor kitchen was amazing to have - I was pleasantly surprised at how well its stocked and how convenient it was, especially for a large group. There were two cabins each with a queen bed which was nice for those that dont love camping as much :) We all hiked the 1/2 mile down to the waterfall, the last decline was pretty tricky but a cool dip on the waterfall made it worth it. The kids loved swimming in the pond and the sauna was enjoyed by all. There was space for an epic ladder ball tournament and room for us all by the fire pit. Thank you Chris for sharing your beautiful land!

1 night at Duncan Peak Vineyards

This is a great property at an amazing price. My partner once booked a place at a bargain rate that turned out to be just a dirt parking lot, so we were a little worried. However, when we arrived, the view was absolutely beautiful and the setting was so peaceful. Definitely a five-star experience—we’d love to visit again in the summer.

Other site groupings work well depending on the number of sites being reserved. Site #8 is unique in that it has a wood deck/platform for tents. There are also NO wood fires allowed at site #8 as it is under the tree canopy. A propane firepit is provided for your use. You can bring a 5 gallon propane tank from home, or a full one is available for rent on site. We have beef available for purchase from calves raised exclusively on our ranch. This beef is 100% grass fed and finished and never given grain of any kind. We have various cuts available such as steaks, ground, roasts, ribs, or other various specialty cuts. All beef is cut and wrapped by a USDA certified butcher. It is raised in an organic manner from cows that freely roam on the pastures of the coastal hills we call home. For further information or for a price sheet, please inquire with the camp host. Well behaved dogs are welcome at Finley Camp. All dogs must be kept on leash at all times while on the property. There are no exceptions to this. Finley Camp is located on an active cattle ranch and directly adjacent to a neighboring ranch with cattle. Also be sure to check out our orchard tours.

Salmon Creek Ranch

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents400 acres · Bodega Bay, CA

Located within 45 minutes of the wine country and 2 miles from the coast, our property is 400 acres of rolling hills and redwood groves, with a creek running along its base. With miles of trails meandering through quiet woods and meadows, you will be able to revel in the tranquility of a private preserve, without sacrificing easy access to some of Sonoma County's most famous attractions. A hundred years ago, this land was used to graze sheep. Remnants of the old fence lines can still be seen in places, along with old cement troughs. Since then, the land has been left to its own devices, passing through many hands, most famously owned by two brothers in the 1980's who built a truly amazing tree house in the forest which has been featured in several magazine articles. It was revamped and updated in 2016 by a master craftsman, using fallen redwood logs found on the property and is now a unique structural work of art, available for overnight stays. We produce 100% grass fed, dry-aged beef on our certified organic pastures and have a store on site if you would like to purchase delicious steaks, ribs, ground beef for hamburgers or some roasts to take home. Our cattle graze on the native grasses, never grain, and drink only water produced from our own springs. We also raise Kiko meat goats and produce pastured, certified organic duck eggs on a commercial basis. Whether it's surfing at sandy beaches, award-winning clam chowder, a wine tour, horseback riding or a hot air balloon ride you're after, you won't have far to drive if you make our ranch your base camp. You may see a family of deer appear suddenly, or a few Scottish Highland cows which we allow to roam freely over the property. There are over twenty species of wild birds that grace this protected spot, so bring your binoculars! A portion of your fee goes towards protecting native flora and fauna as part of our private wildlife preservation program. A limited number of private, widely spaced camp spots are available for visitors. The Eagles' Nest Treehouse (mentioned above) is very isolated and you may or may not even be aware that there are other people within miles of you. For those who value nature, seclusion, quiet and the artistry of old growth redwood, this is the place for you.
