"We were looking for a quiet place to go that we could relax and rest for a bit after weeks of traveling and sightseeing…this place was perfect.\nErnie, the host, has great plans for this property and though it is still a work in progress, it met all our needs. Hookups were perfect and site 1 was gravel and flat (sites 1 & 2 are back to back).\nThe host lives in a tiny home on the premises but is extremely nice and generous, gracious about letting you have your personal space, yet quick to help or answer questions when needed. We felt free to explore his property and see the abundance of birds, black tail deer, turkey and other wildlife…plenty of outdoor space for kids to let their imaginations run. Nice short little loop hike up a hill (past site 3) and beautiful sunset views on top of the hill. \nThe property here is quiet, with barely any road traffic (we were the only hipcampers here at the time).\nJust an fyi, the roads leading here are narrow and winding. Our travel trailer is a 38 footer and we made it fine but it was somewhat stressful at times…Something to keep in mind and maybe not pull a big rig down them after dark lol ;-)\nWe would call this a destination for relaxation and tranquility, if you are not looking for a high amount of things to do but just want to relax and enjoy the outdoors and peaceful surroundings.\n10 stars, Ernie!!" }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Justin M." }, "datePublished": "April 15, 2023", "reviewBody": "Ernie's property was amazing. The sunset was one of the best I have seen. The property is definitely in the building stage but with full hookups and open forest there was plenty for my family and I to do. \n\nThe property is twenty minutes from many attractions in Jackson, Sutter or Plymouth. \n\nKirkwood is only a 80 minutes away. \n\nGive Ernie's a chance you won't be disappointed.\n\n" }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Theresa D." }, "datePublished": "June 12, 2023", "reviewBody": "We stopped here for four nights to break up a trip from Yosemite to Lassen and are so happy we picked Ernie’s property. We are a 36’ fifth wheel and did make it to the top site, but were definitely a little nervous going up so just keep that in mind. Ernie greeted us on arrival and made sure we had everything we needed to get set up. The sites are full hookup with 50amp electric. The view was breathtaking and the sunsets were amazing. We saw deer, a rabbit, and bats. Such a peaceful environment. Ernie has a lot of plans for the property and it was fun to learn what he has in store. \n\nWe were also surprised at how many places there are to visit within 30 min. We went to Grinding Rock State Park, Black Chasm Cavern, Tasted some wine, checked out Amador brewery, and went to the farmers market in Sutter Creek on a Saturday. Our only regret was not staying longer to continue to explore. \n\nOne thing to note, there are two ways to get to the property and one is definitely better than the other so make sure you ask about the route. There is a mile stretch of narrow road and a few lower branches before you get to Ernie’s driveway, but if you take it slow it will be fine. Our RV is 12’-6” tall and skimmed a few, but like I said, just be aware and take it slow. \n\nOverall a great experience and we would love to visit again!

We stayed in our 21' travel trailer on the upper site. Full hook-up and the site was very level. Ernie has a placed a large sun umbrella, table, chairs and an outdoor rug for guests' use. Felt more like a private resort than camping. The view is amazing and the sunset is to die for too. Ernie was there to help us get settled and hook up, which was much appreciated. We enjoyed a meal together which was a treat because we got to hear about the area and Ernie's future plans. It was so relaxing, we spent one full day just sitting, reading and enjoying the surroundings. We may have also had an adult beverage as we watched the sun set.\n\nAn unexpected treat was the (very) little town of Volcano which is nearby. If you have a chance, spend an afternoon there. There is a little art studio that features local artists - a different one each month. You can pick up a short walking tour map at either the coffee shop or the general store/diner. The pastries at the coffee shop and made freshly each day by the owner. You can also take advantage of a small park across the street for a picnic. \n\nWe are looking forward to going back for sure!!!" }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Noelle S." }, "datePublished": "June 28, 2023", "reviewBody": "We throughouly enjoyed this campsite. Site was level, peaceful and private with full hookups. We were able to hear birds chirping and catch a couple deer walking by. While the road on the property has a slight incline to get to the campsite we stayed at, we had no issues maneuvering our 25' trailer towed with an F250. The sunsets were spectacular. Ernie is a wonderful host, accessible if needed and we cant wait to return again in the future and see how the place has evolved, although it doesn't need anything. " } ] }
