Truly a magical heavenly place! We will be back! Thanks for the hospitality!
THE BEST CAMPING TRIP EVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! This place was MAGICAL, I can't believe we could only be there for one night - but it felt like a lifetime and another planet! HIGHLY RECCOMEND! You can also bring or rent a kayak and go to Lake Success 13 minutes away or head up to see the largest tree in the world (by volume) General Sherman at Sequoia National Park about an hour and a half drive north east. All LOVE our Hosts! I will return one day.
Me and my family loved our stay at Mehmet land. My kids had a lot of fun on the trampoline and loved the river. Nice fire ring at night. We also bought eggs from their hens! They tasted awesome. We definitely will be back!!
Exceptional location with much thought put into restoration & sustainable use of the land. A large working residence with loving animals, and kind humans. We hope to stay again, when our adventures bring us back to the Sierras. Until then, we highly recommend this gem without hesitation.
This campsite is perfect. It has lots of space, shade and is next to the river which means it’s sounds will lull you to sleep. Mehmet was very friendly and did a great job showing us around the property. Would highly recommend this spot.
