    Had a wonderful camping trip on this beautiful seclusive spot. The area was timing with wild life. We got to see an otter enjoying a meal on the rocks. hawks flying over. We also enjoy being able to hang one of our hammocks close to the water and take in the breeze. The swimming hole was also nice and refreshing with plenty of space to swim! Also highly recommend buying fire wood from the family.

    Solo camped here this last weekend & had such a magical time. This property is beautiful! Right on the water, nice swimming holes, super private space, & the perfect spot for a lil getaway. Safety is always a priority for me when I’m solo camping, especially as a woman, and I would absolutely recommend this space for anyone thinking about going off on their own adventure. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    We loved camping at this site! It was very private and peaceful with beautiful views all around. The host family and all of their animals were so kind and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back to this site in the future!!

    Beautiful trip! Thank you so much for the private campground space. We loved being in the valley surrounded by redwood trees. There was enough openness that we were warm down on the river bed, but could get in the shade if needed. Most of the space was shallow close to the shore, but there was a swimming hole for the bigger kids. It’s a drive from the main road, immediate fork to the right and down, past a rock quarry and past a long wood fence then a steep drive down into the property with some side roads, narrow and tight turn to the house. The family was at the house and met us with animals and guided us down to our camping spot. We rented the large tent which was great to have it already set up. Picnic table and great spring water. 5 gallon bucket camping toilet with bags was better than squatting . It was private and we felt like we had our own space once we were down at the river. Plenty of firewood around.
