This land was home to the Miwok, then European and Chinese miners, then a cattle rancher. It was also home to a former nun who quit the dominican order to purchase this land for inner city kids to have a chance to ride, swim, hike and fish. We moved here in 2017 and purchased this land with the main goal to raise our large family here, but we have found that good things must be shared! There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with this beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork cosumnes river. We have 2 sleeping cabins and several tent sites (can be rented separately). The cabins offer a rustic/minimalist type vibe - bring your own bedding/pillows to sleep on the comfy futon. A table and chairs are provided for the cabins. Tent sites have a wood table (bring your camp chairs) and a fire pit when the season is open for burning. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! Many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting. It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. The recent Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the cabins. It is still as beautiful as ever but please know there are lots of slash piles. Falling trees and burned up stump holes are also a risk and it is presumed campers will be cautious and use at their own risk. Please don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Tent site 3
We loved it! Was so awesome being by the river. We were able to get two pop up tent campers into the spot and it was very shady. We rented spot 2 and 3 because others said they are close together. I would recommended booking those two together if you have a big party. ❤️

Tent/RV Site 2
Loved it! My family and I had a wonderful time. We had site 2 & 3. Perfect if you want to be away from others. You have to walk up and down a hill for the water and bathroom. I have disability so was rough on me but the 20 something & children had no issues. Loved the water! It was so nice and relaxing. Brought out paddle boards.

Great site
This place was great and a short walk to the river. The site was clean and the flush toilets were a welcome amenity. Joleen was great host and communicated very clearly. We also purchased fresh eggs which were fantastic.
