Not a bad get away
Definitely quiet, And secluded, But not so far that a trip into town is a hardship. Campsite host Terry was friendly and accommodating. There was Stair access to the stream that’s just below the campsite, and just a short walk to an old gold mine, you can actually enter the mine shaft and walk back into it a few hundred feet(be sure to bring a light, and mind your footing, my dog fell into a hole that appeared to just be a puddle). there are other places in gully to explore as well, both up, and downstream.
The campfire ring isn’t located at the camp side, but rather down the stairs next to the stream.At first is was less than thrilled about this to be honest, however it turned out to not be so bad. It’s a lovely sitting area with chairs provided. In a quiet little alcove made of a natural rock formation shielded from the wind, adjacent to a little swimming hole. Although we saw some birds, there was little else in the way of wildlife presence, so we didn’t have any unwanted visitors while we slept pilfering our food stuffs.
The restroom facility was clean and well maintained. Lots of paper products, this paired with a trash and recycle bin made it easy to keep our camp clean.
Heed the warning that you will need to have a vehicle with a bit of ground clearance to access the site. 4 wheel drive isn’t a bad idea either.
Overall I would give this site an 8 out of 10, and I would return. Sites 1 and 2 were well placed, but site 3 appeared to be an afterthought.

Terry is the best! Helped us set up our tent and everything :) also had an awesome time hanging out with him and his son + the other campers around the campfire. We will definitely be back (looks just like the photos)

Strange Ranch for the win!
Strange Ranch is just an amazing spot to explore. Terry is the kindest host and is so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna on his land. The river is just a magical setting to lounge around or explore. He has thoughtfully built in amenities that make your stay easy and comfortable. We can't wait to come back!

Came back to Terry's for the second time in 3 months. We had a great time just like the last time. The site was extremely clean and had amazing views all around. We enjoyed hanging around the river all day and keeping warm by the fire at night. Definitely will be back again!

Site #3 - Road Bend Camp
We thoroughly enjoyed out stay with Terry. He has an absolutely beautiful property with gorgeous views and just enough accomodations to make camping a great experience. The pictures don't do it justice. There's much to explore and enjoy, not to mention Terry himself couldn't be any friendlier/=. Hurry up and book, this hidden gem is going to be booked up fast!

Site #2 - Gold Mine River Overlook
Beautiful property with a river just a short walk away. There was a nice swimming hole with a beach next to it. The old gold mine is also worth the walk to go check out. Terry is an incredible host, awesome guy if you get the chance to talk to him. Highly recommend!
