Located within 45 minutes of the wine country and 2 miles from the coast, our property is 400 acres of rolling hills and redwood groves, with a creek running along its base. With miles of trails meandering through quiet woods and meadows, you will be able to revel in the tranquility of a private preserve, without sacrificing easy access to some of Sonoma County's most famous attractions. A hundred years ago, this land was used to graze sheep. Remnants of the old fence lines can still be seen in places, along with old cement troughs. Since then, the land has been left to its own devices, passing through many hands, most famously owned by two brothers in the 1980's who built a truly amazing tree house in the forest which has been featured in several magazine articles. It was revamped and updated in 2016 by a master craftsman, using fallen redwood logs found on the property and is now a unique structural work of art, available for overnight stays. We produce 100% grass fed, dry-aged beef on our certified organic pastures and have a store on site if you would like to purchase delicious steaks, ribs, ground beef for hamburgers or some roasts to take home. Our cattle graze on the native grasses, never grain, and drink only water produced from our own springs. We also raise Kiko meat goats and produce pastured, certified organic duck eggs on a commercial basis. Whether it's surfing at sandy beaches, award-winning clam chowder, a wine tour, horseback riding or a hot air balloon ride you're after, you won't have far to drive if you make our ranch your base camp. You may see a family of deer appear suddenly, or a few Scottish Highland cows which we allow to roam freely over the property. There are over twenty species of wild birds that grace this protected spot, so bring your binoculars! A portion of your fee goes towards protecting native flora and fauna as part of our private wildlife preservation program. A limited number of private, widely spaced camp spots are available for visitors. The Eagles' Nest Treehouse (mentioned above) is very isolated and you may or may not even be aware that there are other people within miles of you. For those who value nature, seclusion, quiet and the artistry of old growth redwood, this is the place for you.

This place is magical. I don't think there's anything new I can add to the other reviews on here - it is a very special place that I will never forget.

Another side of Bodega Bay I needed to see! Nestled in the amazing trees amongst the redwoods. Not hard to get to. Lesley met with me to get me to the treehouse. Really kind and showed me around. I was even able to explore more of the property and do some morning hiking. The morning fog from the ocean was a chef's kiss. Hope to come back someday when I need a peaceful escape!

So relaxing and secluded. Very 😍

It's as though you're going on to your own private ranch. Right away you see cattle and a little further on some veryFuzzy Furry cattle. Upon arriving at the main house and mercantile I was greeted by Leslie. I let her know what we preordered for food and she took me into the mercantile and showed me around and got us our food along with Some extra we decided to get. They even have dog treats made from their livestock. Next we were taken to the tree house not far away and given a walk through on how everything worked very beautiful tree house And a nice area to eat down below.

The campsite was very well maintained. The tent paddock at site #3 overlooked the creek a bit and was tucked away. Quiet and cozy!

Site 3 - Creekside Camp

Peaceful, Quiet, Remote and Wild!

We loved camping here! We’ve had a lot of misses with other hipcamp sites, but we were very happy to finally get a win with this place. Site #3 was perfect for us, as it’s tucked away from the other sites, and even has it’s own wooden platform for tents overlooking the creek. Sites #1 and #2 were also very nice, but closer together. The picnic table wasnt splintery, the fire pit was perfect, and we were thankful that each site has it’s own shovel and rake. Poison oak is definitely taking over the brush, so I’m not sure how it would be in the summer, but it’s clear that the sites are maintained and the poison oak is kept back. The portapotty was clean, but it was the only drawback to this lovely place. Never ideal sitting over a dark hole in the woods (spiders!?). Still, I dont see how they can improve it. Better than nothing! The hike across the creek was tranquil and easy. Lots of beautiful trees and clearly a lot of wildlife around. We were a little spooked by the mountain lion warning signs, but do keep in mind that no one has ever been attacked by a puma in Sonoma County! Coyote calls at night were fun, and we did arrive to find that some large critter had a left a “gift” on top of our picnic table! This place is definitely wild and full of life! For firewood and supplies, try the bodega store on the corner before turning down Salmon Creek. If you’re looking for a beautiful, remote campsite that isnt too far off, then this spot is for you! We’ll be back!

An amazing stay!

Easiest 5 star review I could ever give. The treehouse is beautiful, secluded and an amazing escape to the wilderness. We spent our days wandering the many acres of farmland and forest and our nights grilling delicious organic meat from the farm and playing card games in the treehouse. John and Lesley are extremely responsive with any questions. Everything was perfect.

Solace in the woods!

The treehouse was absolutely amazing. Completely secluded and nestled away in the forest, it was truly spectacular. Can’t wait to come back for another stay!

Beautiful treehouse stay!

We just loved our stay at the Treehouse!! It was beautiful and serene, absolutely gorgeous trees. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. John was very helpful in teaching us how to use the heater, which was wonderful to have. We were very cozy. I brought my 2 kids, 1 slept in the bed with me and another on a twin size blow up mattress on the floor, which worked perfectly! We will definitely be returning. Make sure to pick up some amazing meat and eggs on our way out! Kim

Site 1 - Redwood Camp

Amazing spot. Very quiet and serene. Hosts were friendly and helpful. As some others have mentioned, if you were able to get sites 1 and 2 together, would make for a great larger spot, as they are somewhat close together.

This was our first ever Campervaning trip and we loved the Creekside. No one else was there so it was very peaceful. We did go for a walk in the grounds and it was beautiful. We will defo visit again and perhaps try the Meadow Campsite next time.

Site 2 - Redwood Camp

Amazing for families and kids.

Salmon Creek Ranch was an incredible place to camp with our kids. John, the host, went beyond the call by asking if our kids would like to help out with farm chores during the day. From helping feed goats and cows to picking duck eggs and washing them the experience was one to remember. Campsite was nice and secluded with the ability to camp under the redwoods. I would say our campsite seemed to be the only one that didn't have a fire pit inside the redwoods. It was quite exposed. That's the only mini-negative thing. Will definitely come back and check out some of the 4x4 trails in the back of the property!

Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful site, loved all the hiking/walking/biking trails on the property and our dog did too. Road is as described, glad we had 4WD but definitely manageable and well worth it with the reward of a lovely private campsite at the end.

A tranquil escape in the forest

A magical, serene treehouse in the redwoods. We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Salmon Creek Ranch - the treehouse itself is beautifully done, and there are lovely walking trails to explore all around.

We loved the hipcamp treehouse stay. It was a perfect nature getaway. Driving distance to restaurants and amidst plentiful trail. Kids had a blast with campfire. Treehouse is ideal for 2 adults, we were 2, adults and 2 young kids which was tight for a night stay in terms of sleeping/, mattress space. We would love to go back !
