About Salmon Creek Ranch
Located within 45 minutes of the wine country and 2 miles from the coast, our property is 400 acres of rolling hills and redwood groves, with a creek running along its base. With miles of trails meandering through quiet woods and meadows, you will be able to revel in the tranquility of a private preserve, without sacrificing easy access to some of Sonoma County's most famous attractions. A hundred years ago, this land was used to graze sheep. Remnants of the old fence lines can still be seen in places, along with old cement troughs. Since then, the land has been left to its own devices, passing through many hands, most famously owned by two brothers in the 1980's who built a truly amazing tree house in the forest which has been featured in several magazine articles. It was revamped and updated in 2016 by a master craftsman, using fallen redwood logs found on the property and is now a unique structural work of art, available for overnight stays. We produce 100% grass fed, dry-aged beef on our certified organic pastures and have a store on site if you would like to purchase delicious steaks, ribs, ground beef for hamburgers or some roasts to take home. Our cattle graze on the native grasses, never grain, and drink only water produced from our own springs. We also raise Kiko meat goats and produce pastured, certified organic duck eggs on a commercial basis. Whether it's surfing at sandy beaches, award-winning clam chowder, a wine tour, horseback riding or a hot air balloon ride you're after, you won't have far to drive if you make our ranch your base camp. You may see a family of deer appear suddenly, or a few Scottish Highland cows which we allow to roam freely over the property. There are over twenty species of wild birds that grace this protected spot, so bring your binoculars! A portion of your fee goes towards protecting native flora and fauna as part of our private wildlife preservation program. A limited number of private, widely spaced camp spots are available for visitors. The Eagles' Nest Treehouse (mentioned above) is very isolated and you may or may not even be aware that there are other people within miles of you. For those who value nature, seclusion, quiet and the artistry of old growth redwood, this is the place for you.

Great place to camp, beautiful, peaceful! Will definitely return!
2nd time staying here and my first time at Redwood Camp #2. Farm shop was awesome as always. Suggest buying your firewood from them ahead of time. Note that it's mostly softwood, so it might be wise to order extra. Site #2 was cool and I think I would have preferred #1 or #3 for the next trip.
Beautiful treehouse in a gorgeous location. John met us and showed us everything we needed to know.
Beautiful location away from the chaos. Camp sites aren’t too close together so you feel much more secluded than you would be at other camp grounds. We’ll be back!
10/10 loved our stay and we’d definitely return. we camped in Redwood Camp #1, which is tucked in a deep dark redwood grove in the edge of a meadow and creek. Other camp sites were a good distance away. There was a very clean porta-potty nearby. We ordered steaks and eggs from the ranch market place and they were amazing.
