Site 4 - Teepee 2
Sierra Circles is a great base camp for exploring the surrounding area. Our preference is the Teepee 2, close to the porta potty and perfect for 2-4 people. The winery at the entrance is great to grab a bottle to enjoy at the campfire (Nov-May). The sculpture garden is perfect at sunset.

Site 2 - Group Site
Unique camping environment. We loved all the sculptures and interesting site decorations. It was cool to do a wine tasting and be able to walk back to our campsite. It was also pretty chill, with only 6 sites. The communal cooking area can make it easy to meet other campers.

Site 3 - Private & Cozy
Regulars at Sierra Circles
I have lost count what number visit this is to Sierra Circles, but it was our first time at site 3. As usual, we had a wonderful time - this place is truly the best. Site 3 was a great spot - at the end of the camping area, and had lots of trees/foliage so it feels nice and private. Since we became regulars at Sierra Circles, we joined the Brice Station wine club which includes 2 concert tickets to each of the property's summer concert series. This was the motivation for booking this trip and our first time attending one of the summer concerts. 10/10 recommend. So fun - great, relaxed atmosphere. Very family friendly & dog friendly. They had wine for sale, a taco stand, and the Red Apple was selling pie as well. The best part was our 200 yard walk home to our campsite after the show. We look forward to our next trip back to Sierra Circles. Thank you, Michel for continuing to share this special place with us, and for being the best Hip Camp host in the game!

Site 5 - Woodhenge
Beautiful camping in the Sierra
Michel's hipcamp was amazing! I think this was probably my favorite out of all the hipcamps I've booked. The land was beautifully well-kept. The sites were very spacious and had plenty of shade. Michel was super nice and hospitable. Thank you!

Site 1 - Iron Teepee
Relaxing in artisan paradise
We had two nights at Site#1 - plenty of room for a campervan and a small camper trailer - and flat. We really liked the Teepee and firepit to huddle around while enjoying the night skies. The property is like no other with awesome art installations in every direction and Mike was around each day working his artistic wonders and answering questions on local bike rides etc. We also tasted the on-site wines (recommended as preference over the Murphy Main Street fare) and had a personal tour of the pottery. A wonderful campground and we’ve already booked our return in August to see some Shakespeare performance at the onsite open-air theater.
