Safe for solo camper
I had a great time at Mosaic Farm. I came by myself to check it out before organizing a trip with my friends. The road and path to the campsite was good. Todd was super welcoming. The platforms had great views. Another review said they were too close to each other but this wasn’t a problem for me because no one else had reserved the day I went and I would prefer it this way when I bring my friends so we can be close together. The dogs are the sweetest! I’ll be back!

Gorgeous star gazing spot!
What an amazing place to stay! Beautiful sunset and star gazing, well maintained property, amenities, and a sturdy deck to put our tent on. Great location between Nevada city and some river spots. I can’t wait to return!

We had a fine stay, although the campsite was a little different than we expected. The hosts met us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the property, which we appreciated. However, there were several buildings, residents, and other campers quite near the site; that was not readily apparent to us from the listing.
Some of the amenities listed also deserve a bit more explanation. For example, there was a barbecue available but it was right next to the main house and a walk from the campsite itself. There was also a flush toilet, but it was located in an outbuilding with a strong odor from a goat hide tanning project (?) and strewn with various equipment. I also wouldn't count on being able to use a full kitchen, although it was helpful to be able to store some food in the available fridge.
The price is right and it's easy to get to lots of gorgeous spots on the Yuba from there. The hosts let us do our thing and didn't enforce any kind of quiet hours, which our large group of friends also appreciated.
Overall this site was fine for a weekend, but I'm not rushing to re-book.

Sage is a good doggy
5 stars for this incredible gem.
Host was friendly, welcoming, very flexible and responsive to our questions.
The property was gorgeous, quiet, safe, and even had baby goats, piglets and ducklings.
There are wooden decks for your tents overlooking a wooded valley. A beautiful view.
We would love to stay again next time we drive through. Perfect for a big group or just a couple.

Epic view
This platform was heavenly. Can’t beat the view. I slept out on the deck in July and the night was warm. Barely any mosquitoes. I’d come back again!

Nice cliffs, but not as described
My biggest issue with this listing is the lack of honesty/transparency.
I had asked before booking if this camping site was private and received a response of if we didn't want to see or be in contact with people, the host could make that happen. Since the listing shows one camp site and with the owners response, I thought it would be private. I was also told the host or owner would provide a pellet grill. There was no way this camping site was going to be private and there was a grill but no pellets. There was notice on the listing of a kitchen but I guess I should be thankful there were people nearby as I was informed the kitchen has not been usable in years and that they have been living as farmers/guests on the land for some time. They were also nice enough to give me a lighter for my fire. I did try and contact the host I was told to contact and received no answer when texted/called. I have no idea how many of the people within so many feet of our camping site were strangers that live on the land and how many extra campers were there, but it felt creepy. There were multiple old van/campers within close proximity as well as a house that had view of the open shower below. There was pieces of metal on the ground. It did not feel safe for my family. I will say the tent decks and the cliff view is beautiful. We only stayed one of our two nights and then left.
