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.

Awesome campground with super art

The Artistic Sculpture Campground is a hidden gem where art and nature come together beautifully. The campground is dotted with stunning sculptures that transform the landscape into a living gallery. Whether you're camping in a tent or glamping, each site offers a perfect view of the art. Michel, the host, is truly amazing—his passion for both art and hospitality shines through in every detail. He makes you feel like part of a creative community, guiding you through the stories behind each sculpture. This place is a must-visit for anyone looking to relax and be inspired!

We had a great time! The site was super clean as were the toilets. We were able to catch a great show on on the concert series at the winery, and make our way to the camp site when the show was over. This was so convenient. Overall our experience was everything we wanted it to be. Thanks again for a great weekend.
