There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with our beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork Cosumnes river. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! In the area there are many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting! It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. We are happy to make suggestions for local hiking areas, like the Devil's Slide "Gorge" only a 15 minute drive but like a trip to mini Yosemite. The Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the our house (literally 200' away!). Our property became a pivotal point of fighting the fire in our community known as the “Ant Hill Army”. Ask us about the story!

We feel certain you will not be disappointed with this beautiful river canyon. Our land is along the Middle Fork Cosumnes river with tent sites to offer a rustic/minimalist vibe - bring your own gear. A table is provided but chairs are not. The campsites are all fairly level, tent site 1, 2, 3, are in the meadow. While sites 4, 5, 6, and 7 are at the rivers edge. Sites 2 and 3 are along the meadows edge about 200’ or less from the river and about 300’ from the bathrooms and potable water source. Tent/RV site 4 can accommodate a van, small to mid size camper, we don’t really recommend anything over 30’ in length. Sites 4, 5, 6, 7 are within about 50’ of the river. Site 1 through 7 can each accommodate drive in camping and have several different river access points right out the back of the sites. We recommend bringing a wagon if you have kids and extra gear to haul to the swim hole. Additional vehicles are allowed for all sites but please utilize your best judgement and park additional vehicles in overflow parking areas where they will not impede other campers nor crowd campsites. We ask that you try to limit it to only one vehicle per campsite for this reason, you may be asked to relocate additional vehicles. Generators are permitted at campsites but we ask that you not run them between the hours of 9:00PM and 8:00AM. Quite time is from 10:00PM-7:00AM. Campfires are only allowed in designated fire pits while fire restrictions ARE NOT in place (check CalFire current burn conditions), here the fire restrictions generally run from May 1 - November 15th or until rain allows. Please be able to present a valid campfire permit which can be obtained at [xxxxxxxx] Campfire permits are required year around for ALL SOURCES OF OPEN FLAME including camp stoves, BBQs, and propane fire pits. There are many excellent family owned wineries in the area and a number of them offering free tasting. It’s about an hour drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well 30 min to the historic ‘Hangtown’ Placerville.

Tent/RV site 4 can accommodate a van, small to mid size camper, we don’t really recommend anything over 30’ in length. Sites 4, 5, 6, 7 are within about 50’ of the river. Campsite 6 is a “park at site” campsite, there is a log to divide the campsite from the others, But there is space to back into the campsite. The campsite is not recommended for campers nor motorhomes. Rooftop tents, camper vans, and car camping is ok. One could bring a camper and park at the site if also tent camping. But the layout isn’t ideal if just using a camper or motor home. While you can park at campsite 6, we have a log dividing the campsite from the parking spot for the campsite. If you’d like your campsite to be directly next to your vehicle/campervan/etc… then we would recommend campsites 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7. We recommend bringing a wagon if you have kids and extra gear to haul to the swim hole.

It is only a 1 minute walk to the river. The camper has a picnic table, sink, a propane cook stove, utensils for 4 people, and powered lights. We provide propane for the cook stove but recommend that you bring your own propane (16oz) for the cook stove. The camper has provided bed sheets and pillows but you must bring your own blankets and we recommend bringing your own favorite pillows.

This campsite offers a tranquil escape with private and spacious sites nestled by the river, perfect for those looking to unwind amidst nature. Guests consistently appreciate the clean facilities, access to swimming holes, and the soothing sounds of the river. While the road can be winding and some areas get a bit dusty, the breathtaking natural surroundings and friendly hosts make up for it. Visitors also enjoy the added convenience of a farm stand offering fresh produce.

Wonderful camping experience! This was exactly what we were looking for - a peaceful river right along a quiet campsite in the woods! The sites are spaced apart so you have lots of privacy but also don't feel like you're too alone. The river is lovely and even has a swimming area where you can splash around. It was cold in October but still fun. You can hike along the river as well. Check in was a breeze with very clear instructions. The road is winding at the end but only for a couple miles. This is a secret gem!

This site was beautiful, we were at campsite 5 which had immediate river access, although there are various entry points around the whole site. We shared a lot with campsite 6 and 7 but had plenty of space to ourselves. They provided a picnic table along with another table which was handy for the rest of our gear.

We booked a two night stay at Site 9. It was great to be slightly removed from the other sites but with access to the river and the few minute walk uphill to the bathroom. This time of year we were getting blasted by the sun at our site from 12-4pm, so bring a sunshade! The site had a picnic table and nice level area. Lots of dust so also bring a mat for your shoes! Finally, The well drinking water spigot did not have any water But we already had brought our own drinking water. The river was delightful in the heat with a little trekking over rocks at the upstream site we got to enjoy floating between swimming holes for 30min. Overall it was a great stay away to just enjoy fragrant pines and the babble of the river.

We had a great 2-night stay in site #4! It was exactly as described and perfect for my mobility-challenged husband, our dog, and our 15ft travel trailer. The river sounds were soothing, the expansive meadow and tall trees provided picturesque surroundings for our stay. We had the place almost completely to ourselves for the weekend. Hosts were very responsive to my questions ahead of time and even on our drive up as we needed clarification regarding the directions. Note to others coming up from the Stockton area—you can disregard the instructions about plugging in an alternate location for directions to avoid the impassable road, that’s for travelers coming from Placerville.

I loved camping at this location. It was beautiful, well taken care of, and the owners were so incredibly nice. We really enjoyed staying in the little camper especially because it had a propane stove, running water and electricity! We were close to two lovely watering holes and the girls enjoy their first camping experience

Tent Site 3
We had a lovely, quiet stay in site #3. While technically a “meadow” site, it’s situated a bit down the hill from the meadow in a flat area with a tree for shade and a nice view at the edge down the hill to the river below, which is where we sat with our coffee in the mornings. While no one was occupying Site #2, it seems like there would be enough brush and trees to provide privacy. The path to the Upper Swim area was right off our campsite, and it was very convenient and secluded- the riverfront sites had another swim hole so no one seemed interested in venturing up to this one. We spent the day snacking, reading, and cooling off in the water- the deepest area at this time of year was chest height but it was plenty deep to cool down and the temperature was perfect. We appreciated the bathrooms and the farm stand- we purchased some heirloom tomatoes, eggs, and squash, all of which were delicious. Would definitely recommend staying here!

What a sweet special spot. Hosts are warm and there for you if you need them. The spots by the river were magic. The swimming holes are perfect for kids. Loved falling asleep to the sounds of the river at night. Bathrooms were clean and loved the little stand selling goods. We purchased some treasures (crystals and jams) to take home. Loved hearing the chickens and ducks roaming the farm. Spacious sites are a total bonus! All in all… A beautiful, peaceful and relaxing spot. We totally would go back!

I think campsite 4 is the best one as it has a bit more privacy than the other riverside campsites. As mentioned before in other reviews, the swimming hole is super close walk to this site and is super sweet for little kiddos! We had a lovely time bathing in the crystal clear waters and soaking up the sun on the rocks like lizards.

Overall great experience! We were at campsite #6, short walk to the river and we can actually hear the water from our campsite. Toilets were clean. 👍The whole place is huge and plenty of space to adventure! 🏕️🤙

Exceptional communication, fun stay
Cabin #2
This site was under-sold. This family runs a clean, humble operation with welcome surprises around every corner. I didn’t book for a very long time because I wasn’t clear what would be awaiting us here, and how great it would be. I booked one night to get my own impression, in-person, and will be coming back with friends in the spring. Had a wonderful time. Thanks

Tent Site 5
I more than enjoyed my stay on Noleen’s land at campsite #5. As a woman camping solo, I was put completely at ease knowing that the main home was just a walk up the hill. While Noleen and her family share their beautiful land with campers, the house is far enough away from the campsites to still feel like you are getting away which was important to me. I pulled my pop up camper along the rivers edge of site #5 and fell asleep and woke up to the sounds and sights of the river right below. My dog also very much enjoyed off leash swimming and exploring. The bathrooms were clean, well maintained and stocked with quality toilet paper. There is very little cell phone service (just how I like it). There was just enough cell service on my last day to be able to request a later check out time, which Noleen kindly approved. I will come back again and again. Thank you, Noleen!

The place is amazing! We stayed at site 9 and it was very private and right next to the river. The restroom was clean and I have such a good time with my girlfriends!

Plenty of space and easy access to the river. Pretty private starch of the river, too, as other campsites head to the swim hole beach to enter. We had a tow hitch that was low rider and it scraped on EVERYTHING on the way in but we packed differently on the way out and my stress was lower. Overall great site

Beautiful property! Having the river there was such a treat, especially in the triple digit heat the weekend we camped. Noleen was super responsive and helpful. Bathrooms were clean the entire weekend we were there. Bringing home your trash (even bathroom trash like tampons) and $20/car after the first car was a bit inconvenient but all in all, we were very happy with the campground.

Tent/RV Site 2
Came here with some friends and our dogs! we loved the spot a lot. the river access was great. we brought some floats and had our dogs play fetch in the water. our site had a good amount of shade, and at night we were able to stargaze. The milky way was visible and we caught lots of shooting stars too! the site had a good amount of space with leveled spots. we had two big trucks that were able to fit. bathrooms were very clean and were stocked with good toilet paper.

Tent Site 8 GROUP SITE
Noleens property was beautiful, we had a larger party and stayed at site 8. The private access to the Consumes river was fantastic, especially during the hot weekend we were there. The kids loved seeing the fish, frogs, and tadpoles in the river. The property was clean, and also very private. There were other campers nearby but we didn't hear them at all. I would definitely stay here again!

Walk-in Tent Site 9
We loved it! Site 9 was so cozy, and we loved how it was kind of apart from the other sites so it had more privacy. The lake was so great, fresh and beautiful. We had no problems at all with the place, everything was so so nice! I would totally recommend this place. We loved that it was dog friendly and that we were able to bring them with us! We had 3 tents and a canopy set up at the site and all our camping chairs still fit and all. It was such a spacious site!

We had site#3 reservation, which is on the upper side and too hot these days, but the owner was so generous as to allow us to stay at whatever site we like since we were the only ones on that day. We ended up with site#5 which has good shade ^^!

Walk-in Tent Site 9
Aside from having to park away from our tent site, I absolutely loved camping at site 9! We had some shade and the enclosed site felt a little more private. We were next to a couple paths to the river which made going between the site and the river super convenient. It is a walk to the bathroom, as that is up the hill, but it worked out for us. Appreciated the communication from Noleen and her flexibility with us as well as having a real toilet space that was spider free (my 4 year old made that comment specifically). The area and site is very dusty, so I’d recommend bringing an entry way mat and broom - minor details but thought this might be helpful. Overall this was a great family and pet experience!

Meadow View Trailer Site 1
This place is INCREDIBLE!!! What a relief to get away from the constant noise/stress/stimuli and allow my soul to rest for a bit amongst the towering oaks, soothing sounds of the babbling river, and billions of stars at night! We so needed this! Thank you Noleen and team for the much needed escape. And the bed in the trailer is so comfy! There’s like a foam mattress that makes it better than my own bed at home! Our 9 year old daughter was able to sleep on the bunk inside and our 7 year old daughter enjoyed her crack at the foot of the bed, but she may be an anomaly…! They slept out in a tent the first night but loved the trailer so much they crashed with us the second. This place is so unreal and I’ve been telling everyone I know not to waste another moment at a public campground because this is where true restoration can happen! Can’t wait to go back!

Tent Site 3
The good: Tent site 3 was fantastic with privacy, shade, stargazing, being able to hear the birds and the river, and having quick and easy access to a little beach where we barely saw anyone else. Delightful, and the shade and easy water access were saving graces during a VERY hot weekend. The bad: We were frustrated that there was only one bathroom that had a working door (for the entire campground!) and that one had a gap in the door right at eye level, so it was neither a private nor relaxing experience to use. And we do think that there should be a mention BEFORE BOOKING that roosters may start to crow loudly at any hour of the night (or day). All in all we appreciated these folks sharing their little slice of paradise and river with us. We got to enjoy a healing dose of nature this weekend, and all ages in our party had a pretty great time.
