The campsites were spacious and well maintained. We were there during the week and it was quiet and relaxing There was motorcycle tent campers next to us that were gone all day and quiet when they returned. The property was unique with the winery and pottery studio on site and also offering classes for the folks that are interested. We were able to tour the property and see the workings of the pottery studio along with all the awesome antique equipment that dotted the property. Very unique and wonderful people. We will camp here again!

We had an amazing stay at Sierra Circle Sculpture Garden Hipcamp! Emily was a wonderful host, and the property is truly a hidden gem. Set on 100 beautiful acres, there is so much to explore and enjoy. The incredible sculptures and artwork throughout the property make it feel like an outdoor gallery, with many pieces connected to Burning Man and the late artist whose creativity helped shape this special place.
One of the highlights of our stay was Brice Station Winery right on the property, where we enjoyed great wine and had the chance to listen to a live band. It was such a fun and relaxing experience and added even more charm to an already unique getaway.
We also loved seeing the pottery studio and exploring the grounds. Each campsite has its own personality, making the entire experience feel special and memorable. You can truly feel the creativity, history, and heart that have gone into this property.
Thank you, Emily, for sharing such a beautiful and inspiring place with us. We made wonderful memories and would absolutely love to come back again!

Sierra Circle Installation Campground is such a beautiful and special place! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed. The people are incredibly kind, friendly, and inviting, and there’s a wonderful sense of community here.
There is so much to enjoy beyond simply relaxing in the beautiful surroundings. You can go wine tasting, enjoy concerts and live music, explore the art gallery, get creative in the pottery crafting area, or join a yoga practice right at the campsite. It feels like the perfect combination of nature, art, creativity, music, and community.
One of my favorite parts is all the sweet, friendly animals wandering around — happy doggies to greet you and even a resident cat making the rounds! 🐕🐈
It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, breathe, create something, meet wonderful people, practice yoga, listen to music, and simply enjoy being where you are.
Sierra Circle is so much more than a campground — it’s an experience. Beautiful surroundings, welcoming people, creativity, community, and plenty to explore. I’m so glad I found this little gem and would absolutely recommend it! ❤️
We loved our weekend camping here! The site is beautiful, and each one unique with their own art. The property is shared with a winery, and there was a concert series going on, right next door, which was so cool! It wasn't super loud, it's far enough away and private, but just a really cool property. The portapotty was kept very clean and there is a proper toilet and sink at the entrance to the site, a short walk away. We loved it and it was a close drive to the cute downtown. Will be back!!
What a magical space Sierra Circles is. Each campsite has its own special look and feel with spacious sites. We weren’t able to go to the tasting room due to our travel plans but will definitely visit again.

Back again to our favorite campground and favorite site. We had another wonderful stay and are so grateful for this special spot!!!
The entire experience was incredible. The art installations were my favorite part. Very well kept property grounds but the people were the best part. We visited the pottery studio and brought some of Brice Station, home with us. They have such a cool thing going here, from the winery you are greeted with when you enter — to the intricate works of art that each camp site has to enjoy. The Sierra circles garden was BEAUTIFUL. We were informed upon arriving that unfortunately the man that owned this suddenly had passed the night before but our reservations were still honored and everyone was the kindest. I hope that they keep this place open to honor Michel, this was the coolest thing I stumped upon by happenstance. We hadn’t been camping in over a decade and this was the perfect place to restart the journey. I can’t wait to see what is in store for this property’s future. 🤍

❤️🩷 Valentines weekend spent camping at this amazing place!! Wondered around taking in the art & history. Close to Big Trees, Arnold Rim trail & White Lake. Our visit was peaceful & private.
Everyone was so friendly & helpful. We would definitely go again.
The hosts are incredibly nice and a good chat, too, having lived and worked in the area, plus being involved in local arts and culture. It certainly doesn't hurt that there is an actual wine tasting room on the premises.
We slept at one of the sheetmetal teepees and enjoyed a campfire and star watching. The structure blocks a lot of wind, looks out onto a valley, and is has ample seating. In the morning one wakes up to the sights of the art garden (it's more than that, really), which is a unique experience.

Sierra Circles was wonderful! I had the camping area to myself due to the time of year and it was the perfect blend of a quiet experience in the woods that I was looking for and close enough to Murphy's to be able to pick up a few supplies. Check in was super easy and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time. Very private and quiet camping spot and we got a tour of the pottery buliding. Very interesting

Pam, Dolores, Michel and crew make the stay at Sierra Circles/ Brice Station/ Quyle Pottery a multi-dimensional experience! Upon arrival, you immediately feel the love of 3 generations of folks who have worked on this land. Michel's incredible sculpture garden is on a beautiful knoll with great views of the area. The campsites are perfect for adventurous campers...RVs shouldn't expect hook-ups and level parking areas, but the artwork, dark skies and prolific bird life are worth it. Michel's sculptures change throughout the day as the sun migrates across the sky. A short walk down the hill takes you to the winery/tasting room, engulfed with Dolores's horticultural magic. Pam's pottery tour takes you back to another time. The music venue is sublime....we will definitely make another trip to see a show! Thank you so much for your warmth and gracious hosting! So many things to do nearby...visiting Big Trees, historic Murphy's and Columbia, wine tasting, etc. Plan to stay for at least 2 nights!

Michel was hospitable as usual, and we enjoyed our second trip to the property. Everything was clean and well maintained, just as it was in 2020. I hope we get to stay there again.

We had a nice stay at Sierra Circles camping site, Iron Teepee. We went wine tasting ant Brice Station and really enjoyed both the wine and the friendly host. The campsite was well maintained. We appreciated that Michel, our host, took the time to chop extra wood for us- it was a nice touch.

Excellent location. Fun decor, clean, and it's great to be in walking distance of the winery
This was our second time staying here, and it just keeps getting better! The host is incredibly friendly. We love having the winery right on site; it’s such a beautiful spot to relax with a glass of wine after exploring. The art throughout the camp is amazing — there’s so much creativity everywhere you look. It’s become a tradition for us now, and we can’t wait to come back again!

We had such an amazing time camping as a group over Labor Day weekend for the second year in a row! The concert series at Brice Station is so fun, the campsite is gorgeous with all the sculptures (we hung twinkle lights in our teepee!), and Michel was such an awesome host. Definitely coming back again next year!
Fun and funky! Well kept. Loved having the concert so close, it was fabulous. We will be back!
We love this place! Full relaxation, wonderful artwork to enjoy, Wine tasting, pottery making and buying - what more can you ask for from a few days in the beautiful Sierras!

We had a great two-day stay at Sierra Circles. Michel is friendly and engaging, and his artwork is mesmerizing, especially when the sun hits it at dawn and sunset! Great location near Murphys and the beautiful nature and concerts.
This place is a hidden gem. Everyone I’ve talked to that is affiliated with this place seems to have life figured out and interesting stories to sharez
Spectacular stay at Sierra Circles (our 3rd trip). Michael is always super helpful with recommendations of things to see and do locally. The camp situation is spacious, private, and beautiful.
Perfect campsite while visiting the foothills. We came in late at night after a concert at Ironside Winery. Michel gave us detailed directions to easily locate our campsite in the dark. The toilets are super clean! Very peaceful good vibes, on this working property with cool art dispersed throughout. Thanks for making our last-minute stay so easy, including the warm welcome wave in the morning. Looking forward to returning soon to explore the ceramics shop, winery, and on-site concerts.

The directions to the campground were clear, and our host showed us the way to our site. The site was clean and spacious. I loved that there was a "fancy bathroom" at the entrance, as well as a porta potty closer to our site. The vibe at our site was so private and peaceful. The stargazing blew our minds! We will definitely be back :)

We loved our two night stay . We were a bit worried about the concert on Saturday night but the camp sites were far enough away from the music that we didn’t hear it. The scenery was amazing and everyone was very friendly! Loved it and we will definitely be back.
Peaceful and awesome stay. Michel is a great host and Brice is a great patch of earth. Moved to Site 4 to grab a bit more shade. Site 5 would be preferred earlier in the season.
