Feedback:

 

I came away from your ranch last weekend completely relaxed and rejuvenated...The food was incredible, the surroundings beautiful and my friends and I enjoyed the other guys.
-Bryan

 

Another ranch weekend success! We've been twice now, and both times were very different and very enjoyable. Labor day was a plethora of men...October was intimate and sensual.
-Giorgio and Harry

 

We were both inspired by meeting you as well and experiencing first-hand the little paradise you've got up there in the Pope Valley. We can't wait to come back.

Ranch Weekend, [voted] one of the best gay camping experiences. The Ranch Weekend offers a chance for gay and bisexual men to gather together on a grassy meadow that fronts a stream-fed swimming pond. If you’re a gay man into camping, looking for a fun weekend enjoying nature, good food and congenial company, I have to recommend Ranch Weekend.

Welcome:

Please join us for a weekend of camping, home-cooked food, swimming, hot tubbing, hiking, biking, massage, and no cooking. Relax with your fellow campers on this private 85-acre ranch eighty miles northeast of San Francisco. The weekend is open to all group-oriented, friendly, outdoor-loving gay (and bisexual) men--both singles and couples. Take a short drive and disconnect!

Nestled in an eastern branch of Napa Valley just 25 minutes from St. Helena, the ranch includes the original ranch house and creek-side camp. The camp includes tent cabins, a large lawn area for sunbathing (clothing optional), and a creek fed swimming hole. There is also an extensive organic vegetable and flower garden, an orchard, lots of fresh mountain air, and the bright sunshine of the Napa Valley summer.

If you like to mix recreation with your relaxation, the Las Posadas State Forest is 10 minutes away with hiking and biking trails galore. Ink Grade Road, where the Ranch is located, is a popular Napa County biking hill. Wineries, spas, shopping, galleries, and museums are located in nearby St Helena, or just walk across the ranch to work up appetite.

Guests typically work on their tans, cool off in the swimming hole or soak in the hot tub, read in the shade of mature trees (or in a hammock, or on the porch) get an on-site massage, or take off on a walk, hike, or bike outing. Dusk usually brings a gathering for conversation, drinks, and appetizers guests bring to share.

In short, it's catered camping. Relax, meet new friends, catch up with old ones...and do as much or as little as you like.
