Camp Prep
I bet you are wondering…What to pack…Will there be snacks…etc…
details are right here on this page.
How do I get to camp, and will I need transportation once I get there?
AIRPORT: Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is 33 miles from The Farm and the Downtown Auburn historic distric. *We will provide a shuttle for you for your arrival and departure. See note below.
TRAIN: There is an Amtrack station in Auburn about 2 miles from The Farm and we are happy to shuttle you back and forth for your arrival and departure.
TRANSPORTATION : There is no need to book a vehicle unless you would like to travel to different destinations in the evening or early morning. It’s a quick 5-10 minute ride into town. You are welcome to drive on your own, however transportation will be provided each day to and from your hotel and to the historic downtown district of Auburn for lunches and dinners. We may do “take out” some days as well.
*Transportation will be provided from the Sacramento International Airport (SMF) at 3 pm on the day of arrival.
Transportation will head back to the airport at 9 am on departure day. Guests are responsible for their own transportation should their flights arrive outside of these 2 shuttle times.
Camp begins at 6pm on Thursday evening.
What to bring with me:
- Drumsticks
- Paper, pen or pencil
- Headphones
- Comfortable shoes. You will probably want to leave your stilettos at home. 🙂
- Warm jacket/sweater
- Ear plugs
- Your go to beauty supplies (but please no perfume (including strong smelling hair products, thanks!)
What to leave behind:
- Husbands/boyfriends
- High heels and flip-flops (tennis shoes or cowgirl boots are way more appropriate)
- Perfume or other strong fragrances (we like the smell of the chickens way better!)
Accomodations:
One popular option is the Holiday Inn at 120 Grass Valley Hwy. in Auburn. Its about 1/2 mile from camp. I have heard that they serve a great “made to order” breakfast there. Approx. $175 per night. Hotel pick-up location in the mornings.
Another option is SpringHill Suites in Auburn. It’s a brand new hotel run by Marriott. Lots of amenities. Pool, hot tub, breakfast, etc. It cost about $200 per night depending on the season. 13535 Bowman Road, Auburn, California 95603 Hotel pick-up location in the mornings. https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/aunsh-springhill-suites-auburn/

Both of these hotels are close to camp.
Food:
Yes!!! There will be lots of yummy snacks and beverages during camp. Please let me know if you have any food allergies so that we may accommodate your needs!!!
Some hotels have breakfast provided. For Lunches and dinners will be on your own out in the historic town of Auburn. We may also do “take out/door dash” some days. Be prepared to spend from $25-50 per day for food. Transportation will be provided if you did not arrive by car.
Shopping:
Nearby there are grocery stores, restaurants, and lots of antique stores in the quaint historic district of Auburn. There are also some great local coffee shops and breweries in the area. You will need your own transportation to get there or share a ride with another camper who arrived by car.
