A History of the Land

A small stream with flowing water, rocks, and green grass along the banks, with a calm pond in the background.

Long before the ranch existed, the land was home to the nomadic Sierra Miwok tribes, the first occupants who roamed these hills and valleys. Their deep connection to the earth and its resources has left an indelible mark on the land, shaping its spirit and beauty. Following them, gold miners arrived, driven by dreams of fortune, their presence adding another layer to the rich tapestry of history that defines Strange Ranch today.

    — HIPCAMP CAMPER

  • “An absolute magical spot and great hosts! We can’t wait to come back! The river is perfect with a great beach and fire pit! We did some exploring in the old gold mine and we will never forget it and will be telling that story forever! Thank you Terry and family!”

    — HIPCAMP CAMPER

  • “The land itself was absolutely beautiful. The river was the perfect place to spend the day swimming. We used campsites 1 & 2 and had plenty of space for 11 campers. Everything including the restroom was extremely clean and well kept. You can tell the owner Terry takes great pride in his property. It could not have been nicer. I cannot say enough nice things about this place or the family who runs it. What a gem.”

A Haven for Nature

When the sun dips below the horizon of the BLM Land, gather around the campfire with a few buddies. Slowly sip a glass of whiskey, listen to the whispers of nature and the crackle of a campfire. Sparks fly while the sky illuminates with stars above, wrapping up another day of adventure in this wild, remote landscape.
