Flyte and Sparrow natural interlude

12 sites ¡ RVs, Tents96 acres ¡ Reno, CA
When you come to camp here you are on a working farm in transition. Girlfarm has been a local food go to for restaurants, farm family members, and regenerative agriculture interests. Today, the farm is looking forward to a new course in agri tourism as we begin planning walking gardens, art installations in the landscape, and interactive classes. If you would like a list of grass fed meats available, veggies, or herbs just text your host before arrival. We are looking for a seasonal self contained camper who we could offer trade for camp care - text host directly. Its been a huge water season so skeeters are around we also recommend tents have a rain fly and ground cloth. Welcome It was important to choose a partner like Hipcamp to invite like minded individuals who respect both the natural environment and the idea of less is more. At any time you may encounter farming activities, building out of tiny houses for future bookings, or gardens in the process of creation. As we move toward offering the land as a place to both find solitude or chosen participation our Flyte and Sparrow experience will hopefully be a place you will want to return to as your own tradition.

The best camping near Stampede Reservoir guide

Stampede Reservoir is a lesser known recreation area very near to the bustling shores of Lake Tahoe. Just a quick drive through Truckee will bring you to this secluded location known best for its camping, boating, and fishing. The tranquil morning waters are the perfect place to revel at the tall pines lining the waters edge from atop a paddleboard or your watercraft of choice. Stampede River is one of the few places in California where you can catch kokanee salmon, four varieties of trout, and much more.
