Cosumnes River Ranch

Amazing property. The sites were very clean and tidy. The river is beautiful. All the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back soon.

Camping with dogs and cows !

Tent · With pets ·

This was such a peaceful and beautiful campsite! The overlook provided the perfect amount of privacy from the trees while also being able to see the river. I loved waking up to the sound of the cows and being able to see them as you drove to your campsite. Rachel stopped by and checked on us the first day we got there and was very kind. We would definitely stay here again!

We didn’t had proper toilet facilities close to tent area, trash boxes were missing. No proper grill areas. No proper route maps to tent area. Overall found difficulty with family

We love the ranch. Would be back in a heartbeat (maybe in August???). Can't wait to come back. No campfires in certain times of the year but...if you like rivers, SUP, and quiet...this could be the place.

Camping with pet and a view

Tent · With pets ·

This is our second timing visit the ranch but first time on Site 14. The view is spectacular! We watched the wild life around the river and observed sunset and then the beautiful starry skies. The site has privacy and is only a short walk from the porta potty. It’s also next to the trail down to the swim holes. Some minor inconvenience is that we had to be careful with the “cow pies” around the area so some areas smelled when the temp was high during the day. My dog also loved smelling them so I had to be very careful where we were walking. >_< All in all, beautiful campsite and view. Be ready to drive on approx 10-15 min of dirt road to get to the various campgrounds.

Site 16 was spacious and secluded with trees for shade and a beautiful view of the river and hills. Bathrooms were clean. Site was clean. Rachael and her team were responsive and friendly. We would definitely go back again.

Gorgeous property in a Central Oak Woodland. Rolling hills, rushing river, and ability to roam around the property. Lots of cattle and baby cows to look at. Sawyer’s Bar #5 was tucked away from other sites, had decent shade, and the cleanest port a potty I’d ever seen. I’d definitely go back

We had a fantastic time. The ranch is huge, and beautiful. We were the only guests at the campsites for most of the time we were there, which was really nice. The river was moving a lot of water, but it’s spring so that’s to be expected. We didn’t catch any fish but we really enjoyed the serenity and the beauty of the environment.

Site 4 - Sawyer's Bar

I thought the property was very pretty. Someone came and checked on us as soon as we got there to welcome us, which was nice. We almost canceled because it was going to rain, but you have to cancel a week in an advance for a full refund, which is hard to do because weather forecasts change daily. We are used to camping in higher elevations and where we were there were a lot of ticks, which was a little stressful with kids and dogs, but I am sure campers may expect this. Also, the site was a expensive. It would be nice to have more people allowed on each site, since families like to go together and there is plenty of room. We didn't even use the site we paid for. Overall, it was a good experience and we had a great time, but next time we will be headed to higher elevation and campsites that are cheaper so we can stay longer.

Cosumnes Ranch is hands down the coolest place I’ve ever camped. It’s pristine, quiet, and the campsites are spaced a good distance from each other. Hard to find places like this to camp with dogs and we are very grateful the owner’s allow it. You are completely disconnected from the modern world as there are only a few places where you can get cellphone service which is a major bonus for those trying to disconnect from it all. The porta potties are a 1 to 2 minute walk away and they are completely spotless and clean. Can’t wait to return in the summer when the water is calmer and warmer. Thank you so much!

My daughter, my dog, and I camped at site 4 for the weekend and we absolutely loved it! Tom, the owner, was friendly and informative. The flora and fauna were abundant — so many butterflies and wildflowers! The views were amazing, and unlike most camps I’ve been to, uncluttered with people and human noise. We really felt connected with nature. We both highly recommend it!

Wonderful experience. Everything including the drive to the property itself was gorgeous. The site was well-maintained and comfortable, right next to the rushing river. Folks who enjoy sleeping with white noise are in for a real treat. We were completely unbothered by other campers, exactly what I was hoping for in a more private camping experience. The only other people my group saw were the one other group of campers leaving and the very kind property manager who had a friendly, brief check-in with us to introduce himself, answer any questions we had, and tell us a bit of interesting facts about the property. The trek to the site follows several connecting dirt roads, not a picnic to drive on but not difficult by any means either. Managed it in a small SUV and sedan with absolutely no issues. No cell service, however there are designated areas marked on the property with signs that you can get service at if needed. Bathrooms were within line of sight of the campsite, close enough to be convenient but far enough to be unobtrusive, and very clean. Be mindful of ticks and check your socks if you go exploring through the grass! Overall a lovely time and exactly the retreat away from overpopulated campgrounds I was hoping for.

Nice Stay

Tent · With pets ·

We stayed at this campsite recently and overall had a good experience. The spot itself is beautiful, with a really nice view and a peaceful setting. It’s definitely the kind of place you go to unwind and enjoy nature. That said, getting there was a bit of a challenge. The road is rough and, in our opinion, best suited for a 4WD vehicle, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re planning a visit. We were able to enjoy the site for about three hours before a thunderstorm rolled in. The weather turned pretty intense, so we ended up staying in our car for the entire night until morning. Not exactly what we had planned, but sometimes that’s part of the adventure. One of the highlights, though, was the host. They were very communicative and responsive via text (iPhone satellite messaging). When we reached out asking whether we should stay put in the car, they reassured us to do whatever we felt most comfortable with. They even offered to drive up to our site and guide us safely back down, which we really appreciated. That level of care made a big difference. All in all, it’s a lovely spot with a wonderful host. We just wish the weather had been more favorable so we could have enjoyed it more.

Beautiful campground! One of the best campsites I’ve visited thus far! The hosts were so accommodating and navigated us to the best fishing, hiking and gold panning sites. Tom checked on us daily. He also brought us a five gallon bottle of water and a grill crate just because. Really appreciated that. Safe, fun experience. Camps were well spread out and definitely not overcrowded. We will absolutely plan a return trip, hopefully this year.
