Hillside Tree Farm

Hillside tree farm is pretty good. They have many trees, although several of them were dying or scrawny, but I think that was because of the drought. They have many types from silver tips to noble. It wasn’t very muddy either. It was easy to get a cutter and they packaged the tree for free and did a good job. There are also some really pretty wreaths. The train ride is a good attraction young children.

Has the best tee selection that I have seen so far, but it’s relatively expensive, I don’t know the average price of other places, but thy never have them posted so I don’t have anything to compare with. The tree I got was a silver tip I believe and it was $ 79 with a $ 10 coupon that you can pull up online. I also like that they accept all payment cards. Very nice staff, the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the price!

$ 54 for a 6″ tree. Packing and strapping down was free. Great selection of trees and friendly people. Beautiful place to pick a tree.

I drive all the way from sacramento just to come here. Definitely worth it! The train ride is perfect to keep kids excited about getting the tree, and everyone on staff Is very helpful. I love it here!

Took our family «tree hunting» and luckily we happened upon Hillside Tree Farm in Camino. A beautiful setting, friendly and helpful staff and so many gorgeous trees to choose from!!! We took home the perfect tree for our holidays!!! Thank you for an awesome tree and a great day in the beautiful setting of Apple Hill!!! The jovial owner, Mark was on site and gave us lots of helpful advice and tips… he knows his trees! The kids had a blast riding the train!!!

This is the best tree farm we’ve been to. Really liked the train rides for the kids! Lost a kid and gained two trees… had a great time thanks to the staff (BTW we found the kid!)

We go here every year for our Christmas tree and always come away with a great tree. Our kids love the train ride and the staff there are friendly and helpful. Will be back again next year!

Sadly due to the snow most tree farms were closed and this was the first open one we found. Horrible layout all the trees were intermingled with each other and pricing was $ 60 – 80 depending on tree type but no matter the size. The help staff had no idea which trees were which or even the prices. Just totally unorganized and with the prices a total ripoff

After seeing reviews here and other places, I guess my expectations were set a little too high. $ 50 for a tree that was under 6 ft., we had a coupon from their website too, a train ride across the road that nobody mentioned w/​out our asking, no Santa, no free candy canes.
I read their site thinking we’d be getting free drinks, candy canes, see Santa (even told he was driving the train when we were there, he wasn’t) all after we used our $ 10 coupon and bought a tree.
It was VERY basic for a tree farm. I worked in one for years, as a kid, and this one didn’t measure up to my expectations. It wasn’t bad, just not quite what the reviews touted it to be.

Great tree farm with some really awesome people. The selection of trees, the second weekend in December no less, was still great. I had to narrow down my pick among 5 finalists, and at other tree farms it’s usually 2 – 3 great ones. I knocked down one star because of the cost. Just a BIT on the pricey side ($ 80 for our 9′ silver fir), but you could also get a 13′ fir for the same price (which is a deal). I’ll be going back next year!

My husband & I are newly relocated to Folsom, CA. On the Friday after Thanksgiving, on our way to Red Hawk Casino, we noticed a lot of cars coming down Highway 50 with fresh Christmas trees. This prompted me to come home & research cut-​your-​own tree farms in the area. I found Hillside among many others online. They had a $ 10 off coupon & fabulous prices listed on their webpage. We decided to head up there today, Sat. Nov. 27,2010, and have a look around.
Hillside is easy to find, per the directions provided online, & has a gorgeous selection of Christmas treees! There’s a variety for every taste.
We arrived at 2 pm, and it just started snowing as we pulled in. We spent 2 hours looking through the trees, in the snow, finally selecting a beautiful Silver Tip. The tree was cut & carried to the cashier by a young man, who also bundled it up for us in netting & loaded it into out truck.
While at the cashier’s I also picked out a Lg. fresh pine wreath w/​ribbon, holly & pinecone decorations on it. The tree was 7 ft tall & cost us $ 70 OTD w/​the $ 10 off coupon (found on their website)…the wreath was $ 35 additional. I felt almost as if we were stealing it, after the prices I’d become accustomed to on the Bay Area’s tree lots.
We had a TON of fun in the snow and found a beautiful & unique tree to celebrate out Christmas holiday. We also have a new holiday «tradition»…go to Hillside as close after Thanksgiving as possible, when there’s light snow expected.
Not bad, all this is only a half hour from our new home!
BTW– They take cash or checks only. No plastic.
