Stories from the community

***New upgraded 20” Whiteduck Avalon Bell tent! Enough room to add 2 more queen beds or 4 camp pads!!***

Weekend Trip to Pleasant Valley Creekside Ranch LLC

Our trip was amazing. Great spot right next to the river. I challenge you to find scenario they are not prepared for. They had everything: sun screen, river shoes, a grill, Bluetooth speakers, towels, mosquito spray, a pool with floaties, you really just have to pack food and drinks!

Weekend Trip to Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

Brian was awesome, he gave us a tour of the property and let us choose our site. Our site was beautiful, a view of the river looking both ways. He has the path lit up at night, as well as the potty. We will definitely be back! Thanks Brian!

Weekend Trip to Camp Run Amuck Hollow

Really great spot. Exactly what I was looking for, a spot to camp right next to a creek my kids could play in, with space for my dog to run around. One of these sites is the best for young kids to get in the water and splash around, so get there early if you want your pick. The only downside is this is fairly near a somewhat busy road. Mike's a wonderful, easy going host and has a cool property and I would definitely stay again

1 night at Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

the view of the river from our spot was beautiful. the moon was big and bright and the perfect backdrop to our night. Brian was super helpful and makes sure you know the lay of the land before setting up. we would definitely come back :)

1 night at Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

Perfect spot for a stopover. Very enjoyable, and the host was quite helpful. Would definitely stay there again!

Weekend Trip to Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

Brian keeks innovating everyday to improve the customer experience. My time in the campground has help me enjoy the sunsets and watch the night sky. The pictures share, from this place, have received praise. Looking forward to returning to this place and enjoying Brian's friendship.

Weekend Trip to Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

Brian showed us around and was very kind. The campsite was beautiful and we enjoyed the river nearby.

Weekend Trip to RockNWater Cove Camping

I recently stayed at this campsite and had a great experience overall. The location was excellent — peaceful, scenic, and conveniently situated. One of the highlights was definitely the river nearby, which added a relaxing and refreshing touch to the whole stay. The site itself was very well organized, from the layout of the pitches to the clean and accessible facilities. Everything felt thoughtfully maintained, which made the stay stress-free and enjoyable. That said, I did find it a bit expensive for what was offered. While the setting and organization were great, the pricing felt slightly on the higher side.

Weekend Trip to Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

Everything was exactly how it was described. The 2 ways in/out were a bit steep, so I was surprised by that, but Brian was very helpful making sure I was able to pull out, which I was with no issue. Brian was very responsive! The water was clean and cold, the porta potty would be better placed somewhere in the shade though, but it was clean. He and his daughter were very enjoyable to talk to, they even gave us a small tour on the side by side, and we had an enjoyable evening on Saturday sitting around a small campfire making smores. He has a lot of plans for the place and I can not wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Rollins Lake Retreats, A/C & WIFI

This is the perfect little place for a getaway. Super close to the lake! Easy walk to get there.

1 night at RockNWater Cove Camping

An absolute gem. My 4 year old loved the private beach in the river site

3 nights at RockNWater Cove Camping

Loved the big beautiful scrub oaks and beautiful vista. Bring bug / mosquito spray and watch out for Fox tails for your pets. Another wonderful hipcamp experience.

1 night at Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

Brian’s campsite was great — the views were absolutely incredible. He was extremely helpful with directions and made it easy to find the spot. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quiet place with unbeatable scenery.

2 nights at RockNWater Cove Camping

Kris's HipCamp is a great spot. She checked in with us on day one to ensure we had everything we needed. The site was clean. It was mostly shaded from the oak trees and has a beautiful view to rolling hills, oaks and wildlife. It was a short and peaceful walk to the river. The bathrooms were clean. The downsides for us would be that the Larry and Curley sites are very close to each other. We would only reserve it again if we were traveling with another family who could reserve the neighboring site - and in that case it would be a bonus because we could all be together. I would recommend the Moe site if possible because it's in a more private location just up the road. The other possible downside is the available beach is fairly small and just one small section of the river is accessible for swimming and water play. It was great for us because no one else was there when we were, but I can't imagine trying to share the small area with more campers.

2 nights at Pleasant Valley Creekside Ranch LLC

The tent was beautifully curated with special little touches. We loved having a private little beach on the creek that had river toys to use and plenty of seating. Tanya went above and beyond to make my family & dogs comfortable.

1 night at Ravens Landing

Raven’s Landing is a fantastic and magical place to reconnect with nature and yourself. The views from the dining deck are beautiful and so are the ones from the camping spots. Layla and her puppies were great hosts, and helped our city dog Hopper get a little bit outside of her shell. Make sure you come with a car that can handle dirt mountain roads and enjoy this magical place!

1 night at Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

Brian was so helpful and nice really made my family and I comfortable to stay there. We got there late and he was really helpful to show us the spots we could choose from. The kids loved the lights on the trees and looking for wood for the fire and it was plenty to keep it going till we left. Can’t wait to go again.

Weekend Trip to Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

Had a great time! Brian’s land is in a great location to enjoy the river and the site itself is well kept. Brian works hard to make sure campers have a great time :)

Good hiking shoes, protective clothing, and hats are recommended. All Campground faucets supply delicious, potable water tested regularly. The modern listings spell the name Concow, Ancestors spelled it Konkow. Both are correct, though may give different search results. There is plenty of room for parking large vehicles and for turning around. TOW VEHICLES MUST STAY THE DURATION OF THE CAMPING VISIT. Sorry, we DO NOT allow towed-in-and-dropped-off campers or 5th wheel trailers at this time. This may change as clean up work progresses through the year. Stay tuned for updates. Thank you.

On our property like anywhere in the woods there are mosquitos, so you should bring bug spray. We offer a tent platform, as well as a canvas tent listing. Guests love staying here: "From the moment we arrived Chris was nothing but amazing. He helped us get settled in and even recommended some beautiful spots to hike/sight see. They are both so generous! The campsite beautiful and they did a very nice job supplying us with any materials we may need. Definitely coming back during the summer!"
