About this property

Adventure on Russian River ~ Comfort and Outdoors

This is a extremely private site with a cozy (yes it is warm in winter) but hi-tech Quonset shaped Unit* on the Russian River. Our property is part of a network of 80 Hunting clubs and you can join our network or stay as a potential member. As a guest you will be given info on how to apply for the hunting and fishing club which gives you access to 80 or so properties (including this one) for one fee.
NO MOSQUITOS! Running water, electricity, DirectTV, all cooking gear, it's glamping (glamorous camping) at its finest. You have the best of both worlds, you feel like you are camping, but has all the amenities found you would miss. Unit is ready for night if temps drop, we have forced air heaters and a wood stove.
It's not just glamping: explore your wild side, we have Kayaks, ATVs, a Drift Boat, an 8 wheel amphibious vehicle to go river and winery touring, archery equipment, and I will teach you to fly fish and/or shoot a bow.
The Russian River is the main attraction but the Casino and the village of Geyserville with 4 restaurants and 2 convenience stores are only minutes away.
Wine tasting at Zialena is adjacent to the property and many wineries are nearby. Fishing is good to excellent for small mouth bass and steelhead trout.
Kayaking and the best swimming river in California! Kayak rentals are available as well as river shuttles for an excellent kayak run!
There are several miles of river near the lodge with decent holding areas for trout and salmon. This river is excellent for fly casting as there are many sandbars without obstruction to your back casts. We encourage bank fishing and patiently fishing each hole while you walk along the river.

If you have flotation/pontoon type device or some other vessel, we can drop you off upriver for a float to our place or pick you up if you prefer to leave from the Unit and head down river to the next bridge.
The river itself is very isolated from civilization in this 16 mile stretch, despite its proximity to the Bay Area. You feel as if you are in a wilderness setting, thanks to the huge vineyards providing a buffer to any development, roads or highways. It is not a river with lots of fast water, and early in the year you may have to drag your pontoon boat or whatever over a few shallow spots.

The fish average 6 to 8 pounds, and, like all steel head, fight like demons, and are either wild or hatchery born. Roe, lures, and flies all work well. The regulations prevent the use of bait until later in the season, so make sure you check rules before you soak some roe.

The lodge unit has three large beds and a fully stocked camp kitchen, Satellite TV, mini bar and inside and outside dining area. The campsite area has a fire ring, 3 burner propane stove, sink, pots, pans and utensils.

As previously mentioned, no permanent structures are allowed, so a small shed shaped tent covers a flush toilet and heated shower. Nothing fancy, it has to be light enough to be moved, but it works.

Geyserville and River Rock Casino are minutes away and the town has several outstanding restaurants, a really unique bar and a coffee shop for breakfast. The Casino's food is good to great, too, as a buffet.
I am a licensed and bonded fishing guide. I will advise you free of charge on where to fish, but there will be $100 fee for basic guiding, $200 if on the drift boat or ATV’s.
We can accommodate up to 6 people on 3 large beds and 2 couches. We assume at least 2 of you will sleep together, ha ha.
NOTE: The nightly rate reflects the cost for the first 2 guests, with each additional guest over two costing $25 per person / per night.
* this state of the art unit is a $24,000 US Armed Service's unit designed for rapid deployment in harsh environments found in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
It has a very ingenious closed air insulation lining for warmth or repelling heat in summer.
Again, it would be best if your mindset is "light camping", due to this site's proximity to the river, no permanent building is allowed. So many amenities are creatively installed, such as the bathroom which is designed to be picked up an moved manually
It is thus made to be lightweight and lacks sheetrock, tile etc., but is functional.
During the summer, the water pump next door may come on in which case we will reimburse you on a per hour basis. (your payment divided by number of hours it runs)
We do not discuss hunting here in public, but suffice to say we have secret locations at private areas for our hunting club members and guests. As a guest you will be given info on how to apply for the hunting and fishing club which gives you access to 80 or so properties (including this one) for one fee.
The accommodation is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Great weekend getaway with familiar comforts
Me and my wife spent a night in the tent because we wanted to experience the outdoors and not stay at your standard hotel/motel. While we loved the grittiness of the tent and camp area, we loved the amenities provided that were used to at home (DirecTV, fridge, stove). William was very helpful with the check in and set up, but gave us our space so we really felt secluded and private. The walking trails were fun to explore and the wide open camping area was great for our dog to roam. Our only regret was staying here for one night instead of multiple. Will definitely be trying to come back here with a bigger group in the future.

Interesting property
The property is as described. However, the floor of the tent is very uneven and difficult to navigate. The shower and toilet are in a separate tent and you must be quite nimble to navigate getting in and out. Overall, I cannot in good conscience recommend this property.

Great glamping experience!
Area was scenic and close enough to freeway, but felt miles away. Tent, beds, camping equipment was plentiful and William, the host, was friendly, attentive and helpful. Shower was the only thing not 100% since water sprayed a little from hose and did not flow out of showerhead (maybe just needed a new gasket or tightening?). ...but awesome to even have a shower! Area was nicely dimly lit at night and felt safe and secure.

Fantastic stay!
My Son and I had a great time here. It was rustic enough to feel like camping, but with enough additional amenities to make it very comfortable. William is a great host. He taught my son to fish, and enabled him to catch his first two fish! We loved the whole experience, and will be back.

Overall disappointment
Internet description did not accurately describe the property. The property host is very accommodating and friendly. We were not comfortable with the cleanliness or with the supplies that were described in the description. This is a very rustic accommodation. For those that want a camping experience and do not have camping equipment this would be an adequate property. There are beds, a flush toilet and shower, and limited lighting. The camp host was available when needed. For those that want an outdoor camping experience, this site provides that with dirt and much of the inconvenience of true outdoor camping. We would have been more satisfied by being more prepared for the conditions. The property description led us to believe camping conditions were more adequate, particularly considering the nightly rate. Our perceived value for our stay would be rated one star. Based on the nightly rate and the property description our expectations were not met. For those considering this property, just be prepared for more rustic conditions.

Nice place
Nice spot for a quick weekend trip. Located in the thick of Sonoma wine country. Hiking, biking and fishing nearby. William was very nice and welcoming. Only minor negatives were one of the bedding setups was a little musty and at night a couple atvs went driving next to our tent which wasn’t ideal. Other than that everything was great.

My high school friends and I wanted to go camping while visiting the wineries. We wanted to enjoy the outdoors, grill fish & steak and reminisce over a bonfire. But we wanted creature comforts, such as a real bed, TV and internet access. So this place was the perfect glamping site for us. We were all girls and we felt very safe. A surprise bonus was the host's adorable dog, Baxter. He was such a sweetie. William was a wonderful host. He was just a text away and made sure we had everything we needed. A big plus was the site's proximity to great wineries and hiking areas. It was about 10 minutes away from the Francis Coppola winery, where we had lunch the next day. It's also not far from the Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, which is an absolute must-see. In short, we were literally happy campers. Thanks William & Baxter!

Perfect One Night Stay/Wish We Had More Time
Came to William's spot for a Saturday afternoon one evening stay. William guided us into the property, helped us carry our things down to the tent, showed us how to use everything and then gave us our space. He brought down a few extras that we asked him for as well. The walk down to the river was great. Very relaxing! Tent had everything that we would need. Easy to cook out on the BBQ. Stoves too for more cooking. Great place to build a campfire and set out until late night. Small refrigerator keep food and drinks cool too. Heater kept us warm, beds were comfortable. Went to winery across the street too, great wines, very friendly staff, would highly recommend. Bathroom was great too, toilet is just like the one I have at home! Didn't use the shower, but was there if needed. Really enjoyed watching basketball games on satellite TV as well! If anyone likes camping with all the comforts of home, then this is the place for you. William will make sure that you have everything that you need, just text him! He also gave us our privacy while making sure that we had everything that we needed. Thanks for everything, would not hesitate to book again!

Relaxed, cozy, accommodating!
This place is just secluded enough that there's privacy and a sense of isolation, and Will is just a call or text away if anything is needed. It's just a short walk from the river, and has all the basic necessities. Had a great time fishing and hiking around, and look forward to a longer stay and kayaking or taking the ATVs out next time! Thank you Will!

Amazing Glamping
This was a great trip in a fun location. The owner has done everything to make this a memorable experience. The tent was fun and quirky. There is a fire pit and grill onsite as well. The site backs up into a river bed, which was fun to go visit. The owner saw to our every need. Highly recommended for families or couples.

Quirky Glamping Experience
We knew this place would be a little different when we booked it so were pretty much up for any adventure. It was only for one nite. It turns out this is a massive tent pitched in a field at the edge of a dry river bed. So if you think you are going to be camping by the water, get over that. It also advertised two bathrooms which was slightly misleading as one of them was a camp toilet with a small virtually unusable solar shower about 3 feet tall that doesn't warm up until 11am (although it sounds like he may have upgraded since our stay) and the other was the bathroom in the back of the owners house, way across a big field from the tent which we never ventured to use so can't comment. So again, if you are hoping for a real bathroom experience you may want to stay someplace else. However, on the up side, William the owner is quirky but sweet and very accommodating. He checked in upon our arrival to greet us and show us the ins and outs and then directed us to a great restaurant for dinner in town just a few minutes away. And he came back when we returned from dinner to make sure we had everything we needed for the night. There is a deck with table and chairs outside the tent that while rustic provided some great star viewing and we sat out quite a while before bed just chatting and enjoying the quiet night and nature. The beds were comfortable enough although they were also a bit quirky, mine had a giant stuffed bear at the foot of it. I let the bear stay the night. There was also a leather couch -- quite comfy and table and chairs. The floor of the tent (as advertised) is a bit uneven but it is covered with several layers of fabric and carpet and felt quite clean for a tent and fine to walk about barefoot. I would say if you are looking for unique experience and can forego some of the comforts of a real bathroom, this is a great place. If you are looking for modern conveniences, look elsewhere.

Interesting Experience.
William was very kind and attentive. The place was about what I expected except; there was some leakage from the rains, the wet straw made it hard to breath, the bathroom was not at all what I expected. William told us this was a work in progress and I must agree with him. It was definitely camping with a huge tent, two beds, and electricity.
