Soularus Winter Solstice Campout
How do I get there?
See complete directions at the bottom of this page. Getting there can be very challenging for some. The route is paved most of the way but not the last mile which is steep and narrow in places. A four-wheel or all-wheel drive is highly recommended. If you don't want to drive then use our carpool sign up HERE
Do you have a refund or cancellation policy?
Yes! Cancellations will receive credit for a future campout. Note that we will not hold this event if there's a big storm and in that event everyone will get credit for a future campout.
I"m not feeling well, should I come anyway?
No, absolutely not.. Stay at home and rest. We will see you at the next campout when you are well.

Directions:
** NOTE the private road up to the property is a combination of dirt and pavement. The last mile is very steep and bumpy in places. An all wheel drive or 4-wheel drive is highly recommended.
The property is on Skyview Road above Boulder Creek. There are no street addresses but you can still use your phone for directions. Apple maps is the only accurate one though! Simply ask for directions to "Skyview Rd, California 95006" and it will take you all the way to the bullet car. We'll have signs posted to guide you the rest of the way. Just go left at that point instead of right and then follow the signs...you're almost there! You can also enter the GPS coordinates 37°11'12.4"N 122°05'29.8"W and that gets you pretty much right to our property. Note that if you try Google for directions it will miss a very key hard left turn off Deer Creek Road onto Ramble Road so be super mindful and use these written directions below to help in that section!
Here are the written directions:
• From Boulder Creek, head up Bear Creek Road 4.5mi to left on Deer Creek Road
• 2.1 mi to left on Ramble Road (extremely sharp left)
◦ This is about 1/3 mile past the THIRD BRIDGE
◦ Ramble is not signed, but it is a paved left, extremely sharp and steep
• 1.6 mi up Ramble (and I do mean up)
◦ First half is paved; rougher road after the halfway point
◦ You don’t need to go through any closed gates, just stay on the main road
• Left on Skyview, at the top; there’s a sign and the bullet car is un-missable
◦ Don't go up the part with all the red reflectors
◦ Road follows the ridge 0.2 miles
◦ You'll see our sign and arrow directing you to turn right onto the property
◦ Proceed to the check in tent
