Great secluded campsite in etched in the hills of Sonoma. Very private with our group and we enjoyed the bonus fridge and bathhouse amenities. The farm animals were a hit with the kids!

Great place. Tyler is an awesome host. Kids and adults all had fun. It’s far out there but that’s part of why it’s great. Trout farm a very short drive away.

My wife and a group of our friends stayed at Tyler’s ranch for a weekend getaway. He was very responsive to any questions we had leading up to the trip and the location was amazing! Tyler left us some hay to feed his animals- we had a blast doing so. Would highly recommend staying here!

Tyler was a great host and his campsite is the perfect spot for anyone that wants to bring a group! Would definitely come back given the occasion. The amenities are really nice for camping for a big group. Kitchen area was great, bathrooms and showers are nice for people that aren’t too cut out for camping.

What a fantastic stay we had at Tyler's Wild Canyon Ranch! The facilities were more than I expected and made it so much more enjoyable. We had an RV fully loaded but the ability to have a real sink to wash dishes in a refrigerator to keep food in which was perfect because my RV refrigerator broke down the very morning we arrived. Tyler has some great stories about the place that are worth listening to. It was the most remote yet closest place I've been to in Northern California. You don't hear a sound other than birds donkeys and cows. The hike down to the creek was fantastic the water was flowing nicely and very cold! Very few get to enjoy this so I feel privileged to have been invited as a guest.

We had a great time camping at Tyler's ranch. The kids loved running around and feeding the cows and donkeys. The kitchen and bathroom were nicer than we expected and made cooking really easy. It's a beautiful, secluded spot, and Tyler is a gracious and very helpful host.

Epic spot. Tyler is great. Had a bunch of young families up for the weekend for our first annual neighborhood camping trip. Infrastructure on site is amazing. Really out in the wilderness here which is hard to find. No brainer! Will be back.

A little slice of heaven. You descend into a valley, flanked by vineyards and are greeted by Highland cows, donkeys, and a super friendly host. It’s a journey to get there (bring the 4 wheel vehicle) but so worth the trek.
The site itself is so well prepared. It was just a family of four but it is absolutely big enough for an event with lots of people. There is bath house with running water, sink, counters, a shower, and a toilet. There is a perfect fire pit to sit around late into the evening and stargaze at a crazy spectacular view of the night sky.
We brought our two little ones and they didn’t want to leave. They haven’t stopped talking about Mr. Tyler and his donkeys. We will be back and bringing friends.

I highly recommend WCR.
I planned a large group camping trip. We were about 33 people. Ages ranged from 1 year to 50. Most of the kids were 3-12 years old (and one baby).
Tyler answered all of my questions as we were planning our weekend. Good with communication, a plus.
Tyler’s directions once you get off the main road are great. Overall, the drive on the paved/ gravel/ dirt road through the hills and vineyard was beautiful and a little bumpy at times.
We ended up getting one porta potty but it didn’t need it. Had we been all adults (half of the guests were <12) then one toilet may have been challenging in the morning.
Most of us camped down in the shady camping spot (to the right of where you drive in) and it was shady the whole day which was good because it got hot and some kids had to nap.
The hike to the creek was fun and also steep. It’s a hike! I think it took us about 30-45 min to hike down? I would confirm w Tyler. Definitely bring water and food with you so you can enjoy the creek :) watch out for the poison oak on the side of the trail. Tyler is doing a big job of keeping it at bay especially around the camping area, but that stuff grows fast.
The donkeys were a huge hit with the kids and Tyler left hay bales for us to feed them with. So fun.
We made some great memories here. We’ll see if we can afford it again next time (it adds up with guests!).
I highly recommend this place.

We loved camping at this site! Tyler was warm and welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed upon arrival. He was responsive to my messages leading up the event. There was shaded camping a short walk from the kitchen/bathhouse. The amenities of a fridge/freezer, flushing toilet and shower made all the difference. We brought pop-up shade structures for our gathering area adjacent to the bathhouse, which I would recommend for warmer months. The creek was a major attraction, with cascading rock pools, the deepest about mid-thigh. We enjoyed walking along the creek picking blackberries. The hike back up to the campsite was a bit more strenuous than expected due to the elevation change, probably wouldn't be a good fit for small children or people with mobility issues. Overall, we had a fantastic time and are so excited to return.

Perfect campground. Lots of shade for many tents and picnics. The kitchen is useful and roomy. The shower with hot water is a huge perk. The grounds are beautiful, and if you don't mind hiking, then exploring the waterholes is so fun and refreshing. We spent a few hours in the water and it's with the hike! Couldn't recommend this more. So much better than other campsites!

We had a great time camping here with our dog! Even in the heat, the shaded camp stays cool and the hike to the stream and waterfall are also well shaded. Our dog had a great time meeting the donkeys and cows, and the campsite was nice and quiet at night. Tyler was super responsive and helpful, and we appreciated him stopping by to check that we had everything we needed. This is a hidden gem that may not stay hidden for much longer!

This camp is absolutely stunning! The grounds are private and spacious. They have a variety of terrain. Up top there is the covered open shed with a shelf for storage, kitchen counter (and a full freezer/fridge), flushable bathroom and even a very clean shower. There is a fire pit as well. During fire season, pit fires are not permitted, but the host has a nice propane pit that gives the feel of a campfire. There are 4 good sized picnic tables and a meadow with cows and a couple of donkeys. The stars at night are dreamlike. The hillside reminds me of Tahoe or Truckee. The host Tyler is very responsive and understanding. Down the hill there are 4 or 5 large shaded tent/trailer areas each with a separate water spigot. The tree shade was helpful for sun protection during the day and made lounging in a hammock possible. There is plenty of hiking. Recommend preparing well for them with good shoes and camel packs. The creek at the end...about 1 hour down is well worth the journey and the views are just breath taking. Beautiful and shaded along the hike. On the way back it is up hill for a good way, so pace yourself. We will definitely go again next year as it was probably the best camping trip I have had in years.

Excellent accommodations. Tyler has put a lot of work into prepping the place for visitors, including leveled out ground for tents, a large fire pit area, and a nice outdoor kitchen space for food prep and storage. The animals are fun, and there is plenty on the land to explore. The nearby trout farm was an excellent diversion for the kids on day 2. We’ll definitely be back!

Wild Canyon Ranch was just fantastic. Tyler was a communicative, friendly, and accommodating host. The setup was perfect for our group of two families with kids: having a sink, fridge, toilet, and shower was wonderful, the kids loved all the farm animals, the creek was perfect for wading, cooling off, and playing. And the Ranch itself is beautiful. Wonderful views of the stars at night, tons of space and areas to explore. We definitely hope to return. Thank you Tyler!

Loved our time on Tyler’s land! Having the fridge and bathroom were incredibly helpful when camping with little ones. Beautiful night skies and surroundings to boot. The animals were super friendly and our kids loved feeding them alfalfa and giving them pets. It was hot but the shady lower camping area kept us cool. We also had some serious car trouble and Tyler went wayyyy out of his way - above and beyond - to help us. He’s a super host!!

Our group had a wonderful time camping on Tyler's property. Tyler was super responsive and helpful with all of our questions. We had a lot of fun exploring the swimming holes and observing the animals on the property. The donkeys were friendly and the highland/longhorn cows were curious. One thing that wasn't clear to us from the listing but turned out to be an incredible amenity was the awesome bath/kitchen buildout adjacent to the campsite that Tyler had built. It included a fridge and a kitchen sink that made prepping lunch and dinner a breeze!

Tyler was a wonderful host, and the property has such a fantastic setup for families — we easily fit three large family tents, and the little camping cabin has a great shower, a clean(!) bathroom, and a full size refrigerator. Shade cover in the afternoon, and lots of adorable animals to interact with. Gorgeous location but plan an early arrival time because the mountain road is ... mountainy!

This was the perfect campsite for our group. We loved the views, the animals, and the amenities. There is a flush toilet, shower, and fridge available to use. Tyler was a gracious host and was available for any questions throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend this site!

The property is secluded and well worth a little bit of a drive up the mountain. We got in a little late and it was getting dark so Tyler kindly met us on the road and guided us to the camp site. It's a private space across a valley from the main house. We walked around the property and got to see goats, cows and donkeys on our walks.
There is a bathroom, kitchen sink and refrigerator few yard from the camp site which was super convenient. Fire pit and BBQ available for us as well.
Tyler wa super quick with text responses and helpful with a trailer challenge we hand.
We'll be back!!
