    Amazing location right on the American River. This family owned and run camp is a great spot for a group of people. Each family had their own permanent tent cabin each with beds and a mattress on top where you put your sleeping bag. We put our chairs in the water and watched the rafters go down the river. We went out with Oars rafting and had Brian as our guide. He was very good and I would use him again. We loved our weekend and will return.

    Beautiful kitchen, buffet area, and phone charging bank. Don't forget the cold water and fresh coffee in the morning.

    I can't say enough about what a wonderful and beautiful place this is. Jerry, Sue, and Laura took incredible care of us. Everything was clean, well taken care off, and organized. We booked them from a link to visit California. We're from CA, but wanted to take the kids on their first river rafting trip, and this was perfect!! Thanks again, Jerry, Sue, and Laura, for all of the meals and care! Happy Summer!!

    My husband and I had our wedding at Earthtrek in May 2021 and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jerry and Laura were great to work with! We reserved the venue a year out and they were so helpful with the planning process, and they let us schedule walkthroughs anytime they didn't have another event scheduled. We reserved the venue for our entire wedding weekend, and Jerry was there the whole time and ready to help with anything we needed. They served breakfast both mornings that weekend and did our wedding dinner. The food was FANTASTIC! Our guests had a great time and loved the venue. A few friends with upcoming weddings even mentioned they are considering moving their venues to Earthtrek. Our friends and family continue to tell us that it was the best wedding they've attended. We highly recommend Earthtrek for any special event!

    One of the BEST vacations every! Jerry (and his family) were so friendly, hospitable, and accommodating. They cooked culinary meals that gave us a 5-star restaurant feel. The tents were immaculate, super clean, our tour guide team from Oars Water Rafting were AMAZING. I will definitely be coming back annually.

    See all

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gladding Farms! From the very beginning, Sydney has been…read morean absolute joy to work with! She is fun, kind, honest, and incredibly accommodating. She goes above and beyond, always adding thoughtful extras and making sure every special request is met with a smile. The barn and grounds are absolutely stunning, and I already know our wedding day is going to be unforgettable because of her. I feel so thankful to have found both this venue and Sydney, and I would recommend Gladding Farms to anyone looking for a beautiful place with an amazing owner to match!

    I rarely do reviews but I felt I wanted to share the pros and cons of this venue and my experience…read morethere with others who may be looking for a wedding venue. First the pros. - [ ] This venue is absolutely beautiful. The property and the barn with its chandlers, white draping intertwined with fairy lights are absolutely stunning. The venue at sunset is astonishing and creates a colorful backdrop for your special day. - [ ] The back patio and lawn areas are spacious and can comfortably accommodate 100 people. - [ ] They offer a small mobile bar and you choose 3 signature cocktails. They provide the mixers, water, ice, cups and straws. We provided the alcohol, beer and wine. - [ ] The Bridal suite was tastefully decorated and is an ample size for a small bridal party. - [ ] There is plenty of parking. The cons - [ ] The owner is extremely difficult and very unpleasant to work with. Not much is in writing and she changes her mind and the rules as she goes. She consistently made comments about us loosing our deposit if we did this or didn't do that. This was both prior to the wedding and during the wedding reception. I don't believe it was only us. When we came on Monday for the table delivery, she was complaining about the bride and the brides family from the weekend. - [ ] During our interview she told us that we could have access the week prior beginning on Monday. She said she was very flexible and just let her know when we wanted to come, she would work with us. Once the contact was signed we were told we could only have 3 hours prior to the wedding. She stated that she had been taken advantage of and had to tighten the access down to 3 hours. We had already made arrangements with her to have 10 barn tables dropped off on Monday and she told us that would count as 1 of our 3 hours. - [ ] During our 2 hours we had to set up the venue she was constantly with us offering her opinion. The bride had spent a lot of time deciding on how she wanted the tables and things set up. The owner was overbearing and constantly offering her opinion. It became very uncomfortable especially since we only had 2 hours to prepare. She told us that the tables needed color and looked bland. They were what the bride wanted. It was a hard and uncomfortable situation. - [ ] The bar ran out of ice and bottles waters early in the evening. Luckily it was not a hot day, the day's high was only 84 degrees. They did not refill the soda and water barrel. I had to ask twice but was told there was no ice or water. The majority of the time there was no ice and no bottled water. I had brought 2 large, very nice metal and copper drink tubs and were told no we couldn't use them, that hers would look better. - [ ] Parking is a long walk on uneven grass and in the dark. She has guests park on the opposite far edge of her property. She could easily have them park closer. I'm not sure why she does that? - [ ] No bathrooms, just two port a potty's for 100 guests. - [ ] At one point during the reception my daughter's grandmother went into the bridal suite to get something for my daughter and the owner hurried up to me and she told me that she had remotely locked the suite. That someone was in there that wasn't allowed. She said she locked it and we could find her if we needed to go inside and she would remotely unlock the door. She again threatened that she would have to keep our deposit if anyone went inside that wasn't allowed. Who wasn't allowed?? First I had heard of that?? - [ ] We followed the rules. Music stopped at 10:00. We had hired a helper and with the help of several family members we had everything cleared out, chairs stacked, tables wiped down and all garbage in bags put where we were instructed. We packed our cars and were out at 10:58 since everyone had to be out by 11:00. It was a challenge, but we did it. We started clearing off the runners, garlands and table signs while the dancing was still going on. We were confident that we would receive our full $1000 deposit back. - [ ] We received only $180 of our $1000 deposit back. Her reasons were ridiculous, unreasonable and unfair. We felt she planned to keep our deposit from the very beginning. The wedding was beautiful and the guests all enjoyed it. If I had to do it over I would not rent this beautiful venue. The owner was unpleasant, unfair and incredibly difficult to work with. She added so much unnecessary stress to the process.

    I fell in love with Brookshire Gardens years ago when scouting locations for a corporate holiday…read moreparty. I've grown up here and love that the venue included one of the area's most historic homes. So I knew as soon as I became engaged, that I wanted to get married here. The ceremony site is simply gorgeous with its canopy of walnut trees and ivy covered arch; we only added a bit of decor to the start of the aisle as it was perfect as is. Booking a year in advance, didn't think we would have weather issues in late May but we ended up having to deal with a rainstorm. Kurt and Nina were awesome and let us set up tents last minute the Friday before so that they were ready to go on the big day. They even provided a pop-up tent of their own to cover our DJ. Even though we had to limit our decor to the minimal covered areas, our wedding was still the perfect day we had always dreamed of. Brookshire was reasonably priced (especially as it comes with all tables and chairs), spacious with a great layout that easily flows from ceremony to reception, naturally gorgeous (i.e. minimal decor needed and numerous photo ops), and close to town to avoid travel fees, yet still feels private and remote. Kurt and Nina were so sweet and easy to work with, you could tell by their enthusiasm that day that they truly love what they do. They were so helpful and also very prompt in returning our security deposit. Thank you for being a part of our forever!

    I had my wedding at Brookshire Gardens on May 27, 2018. Everything was perfect and I couldn't have…read moreasked for a better day! I wish I could relive it over and over!
