About Vineyard Camping at Bad Rat Ranch
Bad Rat Ranch is a 20-acre ranch with 8 acres of lush vineyards in the scenic countryside of Northern California. The ranch is set amongst rolling hills and vineyards about two hours from both San Francisco and Sacramento. We provide two guest houses (cabins), as well as two campsites with RV hookups. The ranch is an oasis with plenty of space to stretch out. Wander the vineyard, down a beer in the outdoor living room, join a game of volleyball or ping pong, cook a gourmet meal on the BBQ, and end your day soaking in the shared hot tub. Whether you want some seclusion, to hang with other campers, or to visit the attractions of northern California, the ranch offers everything you need for a comfortable stay!

Serene Scenery ✅ Tranquility ✅ Clean Space ✅ Well Equipped Cabin ✅ Friendly & Gracious Host✅ Adorable Dog✅ Unforgettable Experience ✅ Everything I wanted for a much needed peaceful getaway was met. The vineyard is as it was described and more. Amazing backdrop to an adorable and quaint little home. The window on the top overlooking the vineyard made sunrises and sunsets really special. A beautiful vineyard and little gazebo you can tell lots of life was put into this place. Ceviche the dog was so sweet and gentle. Marek was especially friendly and attentive. Great conversations with him…
We had a great time camping on Marek’s land. He is a kind and welcoming host, always prompt and ready to share plenty of interesting stories. His dog, Ceviche, was such a sweet and friendly companion during our stay. The property was clean, easy to access, and the directions were clear, which made everything simple and stress-free. Highly recommend staying here, thank you Marek for making our trip so enjoyable!
Marek's property is really special! Tucked away from the main roads and few neighbors. Beautiful views in the day and stars at night. There was cell service on property and the guesthouse was easy to find.
We arrived after sunset and Marek was very helpful in getting us settled in. The land was beautiful and quite remote, we had a great view of the stars. We were driving a U-Haul and the road to get there was a little bumpy, so keep that in mind if you are staying here while moving!
Marek’s place is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and exactly what I needed. He was so accommodating and kind and I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
