Devil's Gulch Ranch

Devil's Gulch Ranch is a diversified family farm located in California’s North Coast region and surrounded by Golden Gate National Recreational Area with its forests, meadows and trails. Campers come to Devil’s Gulch Ranch Camps to find out about life on a working ranch and to have fun the old-fashioned way, playing and swimming outside and learning traditional skills and crafts. Our core program is agriculture and nature, starting the day with farm chores for the Basic Camp and animal science for Advanced Camp. Our recreation and crafts are also related to farming traditions, with horseback riding, archery, swimming, tanning hides, carving bone and antler, learning about aquatic and riparian habitats, and similar activities. We are small, with only 25 campers and five staff per week, so kids get to take part in or observe ranch-related activities usually unavailable to young people.
