Site 5 - Woodhenge
Very Special Spot
We have stayed here last year, and it was still as magical as it was then. We LOVE being at Sierra Circles. Our only regret was that we could not stay another night or two. Very clean campground with private camp areas. As well there was a portable potty that was very clean, as well as water to wash dishes. The art work is an extra bonus!

An amazing place to stay! Stay among engaging creative, engaging sculptures… It’s like sleeping among them! Open skies for stargazing or shaded areas for privacy and coolness. You feel tucked away in a Wonderland of its own. Michael super easy and communicative and his walking tours are really enjoyable.
