Lots of history! My family has been there since 1884. I am 5th generation. There is a creek that runs through the ranch (which is dry unless we have big rain). There is a ton of history dating back to indigenous Native Americans in nearby Morgan Territory (great hiking!). There are buildings that date back to the 1860's including a two-story barn. The Hetch Hetchy cabin was brought by horseback over 100 years ago from Yosemite. There is an oak tree that is estimated to be around 600 years old. Wheat from the ranch won the Grand-Prix gold medal at the 1900 Paris World's Fair. We are in our permitting process to be a ranch distillery so we can make whiskey on the property. We already make whiskey with our wheat but down the road at Sutherland Distilling. We are surrounded by endless rolling hills and I swear there is magic in them. The farther into the hills, the more privacy you will find. The vibe is incredibly peaceful.

Rolling Hills

Rolling Hills was great! We went mid-week and were the only ones there. It was quiet and lovely. It was a little confusing at first as to where we could set up our tent because you can pretty much place it anywhere. There are tee-pees set up and weren't sure if they were occupied and didn't want to encroach in anyones space. Eventually, we set up behind the barn looking out over the hills. Note, the ground was really hard and rocky so it was a bit difficult to get the stakes in. Overall, a great stay!

Rolling Hills

Rolling Hills and Whisky Barn are one large ranch estate. On the night that we camped, there were two sets of tent campers and four or five sets renting the fixed canvas tents. I mention this because it was a little confusing from the website as to what to expect. Overall, we loved the hosts, the location, and the experience. We went with five kids and two adults, sleeping in three tents. We set up at the edge of the ranch, near the open space. We cooked on a picnic table in the common space, which worked fine. Our hosts were interactive, informative and welcoming. In the evening, they had a campfire in the common area for all campers, and brought out S'mores fixings for all. We would definitely go back, maybe next time with more friends!

Rolling Hills

It was an idyllic weekend with beautiful Golden hills, many of which you can explore (I'd recommend pants to ward off ticks). The camp hosts were great and are very welcoming. The rolling hills booking had the flexibility to be more adventurous and backpack out to the hills to camp or to do car camping and just unload near the farm. The sounds of horses and other wildlife was quite soothing. Highly Recommend

Rolling Hills

Beautiful and very peaceful! No tree cover and a little difficult to find a flat spot to camp, but otherwise a wonderful experience.

Rolling Hills

Beautiful ranch with plenty of areas to explore. The property is nestled in the rolling hills of the East Bay and is a great escape from the city.
