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.

The perfect campground

Such an incredible blessing to have stayed at Sierra Circles! We were welcomed by Michael upon arrival, who guided us to our campsite. The campsite was huge, very well taken care of and super peaceful. We booked a tour during which Michael showed us around the property. IT WAS BREATHTAKING!! There are so many handmade art pieces and even an art car, which has traveled across the states. Our appreciation for all the hours of work, the artistic spirit, the miles traveled to get the resources as well as the love which was put into this property can‘t be summarized in words. Having water to wash dishes, an extremely clean porta potty and a shower were a really neat addition. There is a blacksmith shop and a pottery studio in the front of the property. I‘ll definitely come back to take classes! To perfect the whole weekend, there is also a wine tasting room on site. It can’t get any better than this. Thank you so much for letting us stay at Sierra Circles.
