Shasta View Wanderer's Retreat

1 site · RV, Tent2 acres · Klamath Falls, OR

Welcome to Shasta View Wanderer's Retreat, your ideal basecamp for outdoor adventures. Located approximately 60 miles from Crater Lake National Park, 30 miles from Lava Beds National Monument, and 12 miles from Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, our retreat offers unparalleled access to a variety of natural wonders. Within just 30 minutes, you'll find numerous opportunities for hiking, fishing, kayaking, and biking, with private access to miles of hiking trails on public land right from the campsite. Keep your eyes peeled for the impressive eagle activity in the area, as bald and golden eagles are frequently spotted soaring above or perched nearby. At night, join us for star viewing parties under our dark, expansive sky—an experience you won't forget. While our site offers access to seclusion, it's not entirely secluded on its own. Nestled at the bottom of a pasture in a farming area, it's within sight of the owner and a neighbor. However, rural living offers a sense of privacy, allowing you to relax and be yourself amidst nature. Keep in mind that you may encounter bugs, coyotes, deer, and some nearby farming activity during your stay. Our communal camping area features a level ground, fire pit, potable water spigot, portable toilet, picnic tables, and a fenced dog run (available upon request). Well-behaved dogs are welcome but must be leashed or kenneled on the property—feel free to let them off-leash on the adjacent public lands. Owners are available to provide information and maps for hiking and outdoor recreation activities. Enjoy stunning views of Mount Shasta from your campsite, with seasonally flooded fields adding to the picturesque scenery. You're also welcome to explore the hills nearby, offering even more breathtaking vistas to discover.

Oak Ring Ridge

1 site · Lodging60 acres · Macdoel, CA

We originally purchased the 20 acres of untouched land and built our cabin, the "Snug Shack," as a getaway from the city. Fast forward a few years, and 40 acres next door with an abandoned house on the canyon ridge went up for sale. We decided to purchase it and start a homestead there. That 40 acres where we now live was badly abused, and we have been in the process of cleaning up and restoring it. Fortunate for you, the land surrounding the Snug Shack was never abused and is still pristine and beautiful. By camping at the Snug Shack, you help support us in our mission to restore this beautiful place.We named our homestead after the rings of small oak trees that grow here on the ridge.: "Oak Ring Ridge." You can learn more about our project in progress at our website and instagram account: @oak_ring_ridge

The best camping near Tule Lake National Monument guide

Overview

About

These crumbling buildings show how thousands of Japanese Americans were interred during WWII. Begin your tour at the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fairgrounds Museum. The segregation center was the largest U.S. camp where Japanese-Americans were detained, beginning in 1942. The camp became a high-security center in 1943, housing those who refused to sign a loyalty oath.

From the museum, a Ranger tour takes you to the jail. Graffiti on the walls tells a haunting story of how much prisoners missed their homes. Some never made it back. When the camp closed in 1946, 331 detainees had died there.

This site also encompasses a former POW camp, which housed German and Italian soldiers. A one-hour walking tour takes you by the camp's remaining buildings.

Plan your trip in advance because tours are offered only on Saturdays in the summer. However, the museum is open year-round, Monday through Friday. Touring this site is all about soaking up the nation's history. This is an impactful experience, but one that also focuses on the prisoners' resiliency.

The camp was a small city with everyday services, like a barber shop and a post office. Prisoners grew their own food in nearby fields, and 1,490 babies were born there. This site brings history to life and honors those who survived a difficult chapter.
