Beautiful location. Incredible natural beauty from the river to the hills. Only area for improvement is some clean-up of the site—just needs some care, but overall great.

This was our group's 6th stay at Gary's ranch. It has always been a great place to stay, but Gary manages to improve it every year. Highly recommended.

Our group loved the Whole ranch, it was perfect for us. This Ranch is good for groups it already has a Pavilion for gathering. A big Kitchen to cook and store your food… The land is beside a river good for swimming… Restrooms and hit showers are also available… Overall all we have a very good experience… And Gary was very understanding and took very good care of our group.. I would definitely recommend this place.. Thank You Gary!

We loved our time here! The turtle flat site had plenty of flat space for our 10 person tent and was close enough to the river to hear it at night and see it by day. The beach was easily accessible and a great spot for our 3.5 yr old to play. The fully equipped kitchen made meal prep pleasant and easy. And the communal cooking and campfire was a good way to meet and talk to other guests. It was easy to walk to all the amenities and parking was relatively close to our site as well. We would come back and recommend to friends.

The Ranch is so well cared for and it shows. Gary is a wonderful steward of the land. We were looking for a peaceful getaway and we found it. The location is convenient and includes everything you need to be comfortable. We're already planning next year's visit.

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents
A great little cabin experience. Everything was well organized and clean. Gary was super helpful. I loved that there were camp chairs down at the creek! I was glamping so I brought my own comforter and table cloth to cozy things up. A delightful stay! (Would be a great place for groups with campsites and cabins plus a large fire ring with seating and kitchen prep area with large refrigerator to store food.)

River Ridge Ranch was everything we could have asked for and more. The crossing of the river to the camping site became an unexpected adventure that truly connected our participants with nature and the water elements. One of the most unforgettable moments was standing in the river, surrounded by the sounds of drums, birds, and the flowing water — a powerful and grounding experience that deeply tied us to the land.
The ranch provided everything we needed, from a well-equipped kitchen space to a gathering and meeting area that felt both whimsical and relaxing. The owner, Gary, made himself available to guide us, presenting clear safety protocols for our group and generously sharing his deep knowledge of the ranch’s conservation efforts and the native plant families thriving there.
I highly recommend River Ridge Ranch for groups or family gatherings seeking connection with nature. Plus, the added security of WiFi access makes it easy for those who may need to check in with home or work without sacrificing the magic of being present in such a natural setting.

"We recently visited a beautiful campground, and I’d love to share our experience! If you’d like to see more, be sure to check out our YouTube channel, AMERSIAN CAMPERS, where we captured the full adventure in stunning detail.
The campground was huge, nestled in a peaceful valley covered in lush grass, right before reaching Sequoia National Park. A wild, shallow river flowed nearby, adding to the serenity of the place. It felt incredibly private and quiet, making it a perfect escape into nature.
Beyond the stunning location, the campground offered plenty of great amenities, including a well-equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms, and access to firewood for cozy campfires. It truly provided both comfort and a deep connection with the outdoors.
Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a private and relaxing getaway!"

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents
I had an excellant experience at River Ridge Ranch. Quiet and cozy. Cabins are clean and well kept. outdoor showers with hot and cold water, large outhouse style toilets, plenty of lighting. Large pavillion and fire pit for group campers. Fully stocked kitchen area, pots, pans, dishes, utinsels, propane BBQs microwave, toaster oven, fridge and a large dishwashing area behind the kitchen. Plenty of places to hike and take in mother nature. Gary has done a excellant job in making sure you have everything you need for your stay, just bring your bedding, clothes, food and personal hygiene items.

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents
I had a great stay at River Ridge Ranch. It’s a nice quiet cozy place to get away for the weekend or a week. cabins are clean and well kept. Gary has done an excellent job in making sure that everything you need is provided for you so all you have to do is show up with your bedding, food and personal hygiene items. There’s plenty of places on the property to hike and enjoy mother nature. Highly recommend River Ridge Ranch to anyone that just wants to get away, but not travel too far. There’s a large pavilion area for groups. There’s a large fire pit for groups to sit around and the kitchen area is well stocked with everything you would need for cooking, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, propane grills, microwave, toaster oven, and a large refrigerator to store all your food items. There’s even a large sink area behind the kitchen for washing your dishes. Large outhouse style toilets and outdoor showers with hot and cold water.

1 night at Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents
We loved it here! My partner, dog and I slept in the two story, which was lovely! The whole property is awesome. The kitchen area is the best I’ve ever utilized at a Hipcamp. We were just stopping by for a night on a road trip out to southern Utah from the Bay Area, but immediately started planning a big friends trip back down! It’s wonderful and we look forward to sharing it with people we love! The fall is exceptionally beautiful with the yellow leaves everywhere. Could not have asked for a better spot. And the lil heater cranks! We hung out up top before eventually opting on the bottom floor with the pup :)

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents
Absolutely lovely experience staying on Gary’s land. The cabin had everything we needed - the heater was definitely a plus for the cold nights. We had the property to ourselves a lot of the day, and explored the river and different paths. The communal kitchen has everything you could possibly need, with a cleanup station behind it. I can’t wait to come back with my pup
In the summer!

The experience on Gary’s land was truly one for the books! Kids loved the scenery as well as the atmosphere. The kitchen/bar area were great, and the communal fire pit too! Outside side showers had an amazing view, and the water was hot! The site was easy to find and, it’s right next to the sandy beach by the river. The kids went swimming and they loved it!
