Huge thanks to our hosts for creating and sharing this special place. Magical. Highly recommend!

I visited Camp Treefeathers with my kids and several other families in our homeschool group. It was just what we all needed. Thousands of tadpoles, frogs croaking, a grassy field with games to play, swings and hammocks everywhere, picnic tables, adventure playground, rec room with foosball, giant fire pit, and plenty of flat spots to pitch tents. I appreciated the option of an indoor sink for washing dishes. Porta potties were in good shape and clean condition. Our hosts, Greg and Dewey, were incredibly welcoming and encouraged us to have fun and not worry about anything. My only regret is that I wish I had booked sooner so I could have gotten 3 nights like I wanted! Will definitely return.

My kids and I had a nice stay in site 1. I felt safe and cared for. Couldn't ask for a more convenient stop just outside Yosemite and a few blocks off the main road through Groveland. I appreciated the lovely outdoor kitchen and the opportunity to use the indoor toilet. I was happy to hear someone playing electric guitar in town as I settled in for bed. Didn't realize how much I have missed the sounds of people during this pandemic. We spent the next morning at nearby Mountain Sage Nursery and Cafe.

Highly recommend!

I had a lovely solo stay at the cabin. It was important for me to feel safe, and I definitely did. Loved the cozy bed, beautiful light in the cabin in the morning, opportunity to shower after my hike, little desk for writing, and great outdoor area. I looked at the flowers and listened to the bees in the morning, and looked at the stars and sat by the fire at night. Camilla was a great host. Given all the amenities I was more prepared than I needed to be, but that is far better than the converse.

Crystal Bay Farm is in a great, beautiful location. The nearby private beach was really nice and you can walk for miles looking for shells and sand dollars. The tipi and enclosed private garden, picnic table, grill, and fire pit were well maintained and very nice. The tipi is huge! Much bigger than I expected looking at the pics. Can definitely sleep 8 comfortably. We stayed warm and dry inside the tipi. The ground moisture did not seep up through the ground cover. Though there is a fire pit in the tipi I don't recommend using it if with young kids or if you have any issues with your lungs. It filled the tipi with smoke, as you might expect. Once the fire was out the smoke cleared quickly, so it has good ventilation, just not good enough to clear the smoke from an active fire.

Basically everything about this site was great, but my expectations were off from reality. I was looking for interactive experiences with animals, and that isn't so much what this farm is about, though they do have animals on site.

Given the expense, I recommend this site for those camping with a group of 4-8 who are excited to sleep in a tipi, be near the ocean, and possibly pick some strawberries or pumpkins when in season.

Thank you David and Christine for a great camping experience! Your farm is inspiring. Everywhere I looked I saw your creativity on display. I appreciated the attention and care you put into making us feel welcome. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family.

I went to Rusty Hill Farm with my 6 yo daughter and we really lucked out with our timing. We got to bottle feed and play with 1 month old Nubian goat triplets, and we saw a baby lamb take its first steps. I loved interacting with all of the incredibly friendly animals, the (to me!) peaceful sounds of the farm animals, frogs, and crickets, and making art in the art wagon. What a great spot, surrounded by tall eucalyptus trees.

Minor note to potential visitors - you might want to bring some rope to put through your tent stake loops out to the dirt so that you can stake down your tent. I was definitely happy to have a tent platform, but because I was unable to put stakes in the ground the sides of my tent sagged in and got us a bit wet.
