About this property

Charming 1-bdm casita in a private campground, Casita + RV site & Tent Camping

Welcome to Sunset Oaks Ranch Campground & Casita

Escape to a peaceful 23-acre ranch nestled among beautiful oak and pine trees in the rolling foothills of Northern California. Sunset Oaks Ranch offers a quiet country retreat where you can relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.

Stay in our comfortable 1-bedroom, 1-bath casita featuring a full kitchen, or bring your tent and camp under the stars while enjoying access to the ranch amenities and wide-open spaces. We also offer a small RV/camper site (under 24') with water and electric hookups.

Occupancy:
• Casita: up to 4 guests (2 adults, 2 small children, or 3 adults
• Additional 6–12 guests across the RV/camper and tent sites (Extra charge)

The Experience
Stroll along our private 1-mile Sunset Oaks Loop Trail, cool off in the seasonal above-ground pool, or unwind beneath the shade of the oaks. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit, watch the sunset filter through the trees, and enjoy peaceful, star-filled skies.

You’ll often see our two gentle ranch horses, Sophie and Zephyr, grazing nearby—adding to the charm of ranch life. (They love carrots!)

For a little fun, enjoy a friendly game of horseshoes, cornhole, bocce ball, or disc golf (3 baskets). If you’re looking for more excitement, bring your BMX bike to ride the small track or take a turn on the zipline over the creek.

And for the adventurous (and young at heart), keep an eye out for our hidden Bigfoots! Guests can explore the property and try to spot all six tucked throughout the ranch—creating a fun, built-in scavenger hunt.

What an adorable property! The Casita is even cuter in person. We booked a tent site and added an RV with full hook‑ups, and it all felt more like glamping — exactly my style. Sitting around the fire and gazing at the stars at night was probably my favorite part of the trip.Everything from the reservation process to check‑in and check‑out was incredibly easy. Torry, the host, was so kind and helpful, and any questions or concerns were handled quickly and effortlessly. We had such a wonderful stay and can’t wait to make this our annual family reunion spot.
