4 MINUTE DRIVE TO DOWNTOWN PLACERVILLE! And a 5 min walk to the bike path that leads to downtown. The French Pasture is a beautiful campsite surrounded by an oak, plum and apricot tree. There is a small 1 minute hike through the land from the parking spot to the campsite. The camp has a wooden picnic table with a canopy. The photo shows a two person tent but the site can fit a 10x10 foot tent. A few things to consider: 1. We do have a fire pit, but the area for the fire is not leveled yet (as the camp and table section is). Coming soon! 2. There is a portable shower and portable toilet option. Hot water is not available. (See photos). 3. The freeway can be heard from the campsite. The positives: 1. Downtown Placerville is only a 3 -5 minute drive. There is also a bike trail walking distance from the campsite to downtown that is an approximate 15 minute walk. 3. Morning coffee will be provided by hosts. We have a Golden Doodle Dog that may greet you at your campsite. Enjoy your stay at the French Pasture Campsite!The French Pasture is a beautiful campsite surrounded by an oak, plum and apricot tree.

The French Pasture

Apple Hill Camping

It's the front yard of this guy's house, its ~4 acres and beautiful. The hosts are very hospitable. You can see the house and the road from the campsite. He is in the process of planting more trees, they're still baby's ATM. The biggest upside is the campsite is 4min from downtown placerville and 8min from all of Apple Hill!

The French Pasture

This is the perfect place to stay if you want to be close to town and explore Placerville. It's close to everything, and is in a nice neighborhood that's perfect for a walk. The site is great, with a flat spot for a tent, a picnic table, and portable toilet set up in a privacy tent. The trees around the site are pretty, and provide plenty of shade. This is a great place to camp!

The French Pasture

The neighborhood is great for a walk. It's close to the freeway and town. All the amenities were fantastic. The hosts were very friendly. There was nothing we needed that wasn't provided. We got to eat fresh apricots off the tree. I would definitely recommend staying here!
