The entire valley is quiet on and around July 4 for those nervous pets comfort. There are two entrances. the primary double gates (lessor used) are a nice straight drive to the first campsites. however a left turn will take you through a single gate (usually open) and a curve around to the right, you will intersect with the gravel road. then a left turn past the port a potty between the two post and trash can, with the potable water hose hanging on the road barricade. straight ahead is two trailer or tent campsites delineated with fire rings. however if you make an immediate left there are driveways to two (plus) campsites one very nicely shaded. on the right in the tree line are three shaded sites in the trees, and if you go straight past the "4 wheel drive recommended" sign there are three very lovely shaded sites. this was a very overgrown property and we are improving and expanding constantly. If you care to recommend an improvement and we use your suggestion, we would be happy to have you return as our guest. a couple of up coming improvements: Picnic tables, S'mores night and movie night. stay tuned Facebook and instagram sites coming!
We had an amazing stay! Brian, the host, was very nice and helpful. The views are SPECTACULAR! Place is very dog friendly (our 2 big pups had a blast). Don't over think it and book it!
Although we went on a rainy day, we still had a lot of fun camping at the site. We got to see the views the morning after and they were amazing! Lots of spots to camp, fire rings, and good vibes! And Brian was so helpful when we couldn't get our cars out of the bottom of the hill because of all the mud (even with 4x4 vehicles). He even let us leave our cars at his site until the weather was better for us to climb better! Definitely will come back here when it's not raining!
Pros: Beautiful views, proximity to trails, wineries. Fire pits. Quiet neighbors. Cons: Difficult entrance even with a small trailer, hard to find a level spot, highway noise.
Great spot with river views, fire ring, water and garbage. Brian the host was super responsive. Driveway was a bit tricky but we have a ford transit van with rear 1 wheel drive and we made it ok, just went slowly - don't need 4wd. Excellent open spot with views just before the 4 wheel drive area - was awesome. We were in the area for rock climbing at Auburn Quarry and its only a 20 minute drive. Will definitely be back again!
