This land was home to the Miwok, then European and Chinese miners, then a cattle rancher. It was also home to a former nun who quit the dominican order to purchase this land for inner city kids to have a chance to ride, swim, hike and fish. We moved here in 2017 and purchased this land with the main goal to raise our large family here, but we have found that good things must be shared! 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 this beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork cosumnes river. We have 2 sleeping cabins and several tent sites (can be rented separately). The cabins offer a rustic/minimalist type vibe - bring your own bedding/pillows to sleep on the comfy futon. A table and chairs are provided for the cabins. Tent sites have a wood table (bring your camp chairs) and a fire pit when the season is open for burning. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! 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. The recent Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the cabins. It is still as beautiful as ever but please know there are lots of slash piles. Falling trees and burned up stump holes are also a risk and it is presumed campers will be cautious and use at their own risk. Please don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Cabin #2
We stayed at cabin 2 (all the camp sites were booked but by the time we arrived, some camp sites were free but had left the tent at home.) Camp sites are beautiful and more private. But we did love the "patio" side with the fire pit and table. Loved the stream on the property. Definitely go to the Cosumnes river gorge close by. Our dog loved running around off leash. Hosts were really gracious and helpful.

Great spot to camp! Quiet and scenic next the river! The provided table and fire ring were great and the bathroom was well maintained. Very pet friendly. Definitely planning on coming back during the summer months to enjoy the cool river!

Tent/RV site 4
Noleen and Joeby’s spot has been on our list for a long time and we finally made it!! Despite the weather we had a great time and the hosts were incredibly responsive & helpful - we forgot eggs / potatoes and they went above and beyond to help us — the best hosts we have come across! Campsite # 4 is a solid choice for 3-8 people and it’s tucked away from the other river-side camp spots, semi- secluded. The bathroom/ spigot for water is a little uphill walk but we had a free vehicle to ride in to fill up our 7 gallon water jugs, which made it easier!! We brought our own pop up / toilet because we have a little one who’s in potty trading (a little tricky with the pack in /pack out rule, but we had special bags) so, that worked for us. The river is a short walk with multiple easy access points! We will definitely be back!!!

We had such an amazing experience. The setting is peaceful, secluded, and absolutely beautiful—perfect for anyone looking to disconnect and soak up some nature. The river access was definitely a highlight: crystal-clear water, ideal for swimming or just relaxing by the bank with a book. If you’re looking for a quiet, nature-filled getaway with the soothing sounds of the river and starry night skies, this is the place. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We had an amazing stay at this campsite. It was incredibly quiet and serene, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Nestled among lots of trees and just a short walk from a beautiful river, the location felt secluded and refreshing. The surroundings were peaceful, and the natural beauty really helped us unwind. On top of that, the host was excellent—welcoming and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be back!
