A human-readable version is linked below.* # Salmon Creek Ranch > Human version: https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/salmon-creek-ranch-bodega-bay-ca **[United States](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states) › [California](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/california) › [Bodega Bay](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/california/bodega-bay)** 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\. ## Key facts - Coordinates: 38.35799776391964, -123.000672260791 ## Address Bodega Bay, CA, US ## Amenities - Beach - Biking - Boating - Canyon - Coastal - Creek - Drinking\_water - Farm - Fire\_pit - Fires - Firewood - Fishing - Flush\_toilets - Forest - Hiking - Hill - Horseback Riding - Horseback\_riding - Kayaking - Mountain - Paddling - Picnic Table - Picnic\_table - Potable Water - River - Rock\_climbing - Sailing - Showers - Stargazing - Stream - Surfing - Swimming - Tent - Tent\_camping - Toilets - Trash - Trash\_disposal - Treehouse - Wildlife Watching - Wildlife\_viewing - Wind Sports ## Structured data (schema.org) Also available as raw JSON: https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/salmon-creek-ranch-bodega-bay-ca.json ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Campground", "@id": "https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/salmon-creek-ranch-bodega-bay-ca", "name": "Salmon Creek Ranch", "description": "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.

John and Lesley’s property is a magical piece of land and them sharing it with others really warms our hearts. They were incredibly hospitable and we got to meet John on our second evening. Really kind and caring folks! \n\nWe stayed at Creekside 3, which was a nice distance away from sites 1&2 (this was our younger dog’s first week of camping so wanted to ease his anxiety) but still very close to the bathroom and trail to the creek and hiking. It’s a beautiful spot with a private little trail that leads to a flat deck to relax or camp on as well as a trail down to the creek. \n\nOnce we settled in, we started exploring a bit across the creek where the redwood sites are and we were totally blown away. It’s a dreamy redwood grove with sites spread out so each site has privacy and can enjoy solitude. There’s also a huge meadow perfect for star gazing (will stay at one of these sites on our next visit). \n\nWe didn’t have time to hike the rest of the property or buy some goodies from the mercantile shop this time, but we plan to go back soon!! Highly highly recommend. " } ] } ``` [robots.txt](https://campertunity.com/robots.txt) · [llms.txt](https://campertunity.com/llms.txt) · [sitemap](https://campertunity.com/sitemap_index.xml)
