32mi from Bella Vista · 4 sites · Lodging · Lewiston, CA

Formerly used as a horse property, we bought this property in 2016 and have renovated the barn and paddocks for llamas and alpacas. We have been collecting RV trailers for the last 10 years with the dream of having this kind of opportunity, and now it is becoming a reality! Now we have 16 animals that make for a fun getaway destination for campers. Stay with us in a "Glamping Trailer" or a "Comfy Sunroom" for the night while enjoying the One Thing Ranch experience with llamas and alpacas. Visit with our animals and take a ranch tour, or just get away from it all while you enjoy the beauty of the local area of Trinity County. Explore the nearby Shasta Trinity National Forest while staying in our ranch, or make us your launching pad for a backpacking trip to the Trinity Alps Wilderness...your first (or last?) "connection with civilization" and a hot shower and comfy bed for the night.

I have been connected to this land for over 30 years. It has a very sweet vibe, quiet and tranquil. Sitting by the creek is one of the most restful activities you can imagine. I call it the SOUNDSCAPE OASIS. I am a musician and sound healer and can offer private or group sessions upon request. I look forward to meeting you. (If you have a large RV, please reserve site 2. Thank you.) Learn more about this land: Park your van or pitch your tent next to the creek in the forest with a picnic table and access to a toilet. This is a quiet area, 4,000 feet elevation, located 15 minutes north from the town of Mt. Shasta. A short drive away is beautiful Lake Siskiyou and Castle Lake. Take a journey up the mountain and enjoy gorgeous hiking trails with stunning views. You can also book a private quantum sound healing journey with BODHI. Working many years as a musician and sound healer, he creates a unique, mystical and magical experience.

2 nights at One Thing Ranch - Alpacas & Llamas

I had a wonderful time at One Thing Ranch with Nancy! The airstream was comfortable with plentiful amenities. The kitchen was fully stocked, the heater worked, and the space was spacious for sleeping and working. The animals were so fun; I got to meet each of them and give them snacks :). This is a lovely getaway in a beautiful zone of California. I enjoyed exploring the area and spending time on the property. Thank you for having me!

Weekend Trip to Mill Creek Resort

I absolutely loved camping at Mill Creek! The scenery was beautiful, and the sound of the creek flowing nearby made the whole trip feel extra peaceful. It felt so nice to escape for the weekend, relax, and just soak up nature. I also really appreciated that they offered firewood right there at the site. It made campfire time super convenient and stress-free! Having cell signal was a nice bonus too, since it allowed me to stay connected with loved ones while still enjoying an unplugged vibe. Everyone around was friendly and courteous. We did have a neighboring camper who got noisy at first, though they became more respectful once reminded about the quiet hours. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back again!

The tent camping was fun. The camp spot we got was a little small but overall it was nice. The neighbors are far enough where we had a lot of privacy.

Beautiful family friendly private campground. A lot of love goes into this place. We were in campsite 11 and felt it was pretty private and spacious. Bring leveling blocks though if you’re picky about a level camper. Would definitely recommend Mill Creek Resort

The campsite is on a beautiful property with close proximity (about 1 hrish) from Lassen NP and 30 mins from town. There’s a beautiful creek that runs right through the land. Dog friendly and lots of dog friendly hikes near by. Loved our stay and would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Mill Creek Resort

Mill Creek Resort is magical! This is the perfect location for exploring Lassen National Park or just being. The grounds are lovely and Mill Creek runs along the edge of the property. I stayed in an rv spot and those sites are close together, but I didn’t mind and I appreciated the convenience of having water, power and sewer hook ups. There was a small creek running behind the rvs, which is nice sound to fall asleep to. Nice people there and a really great vibe. I will definitely be back!

Loved our glamping yurt! Will be back for sure and hopefully with friends. Site 20 is by the trail to go to the creek but site 19 is a ways away because the vault toilet is in between. We heard the creek all night which is exactly what we wanted! It’s about 20 minutes to the southwest gate of Lassen NP.

This camping spot is one of the best i’ve been too. The bathrooms are clean, other campers were super respectful, they sell wood and ice, and our camping spot was war distant to the creek below. I would absolutely come here again, very beautiful spot.

Weekend Trip to One Thing Ranch - Alpacas & Llamas

We just had another incredible stay at One Thing Ranch with the exceptional host, Nancy. This time, we introduced some close friends to this hidden gem. Nancy's hospitality was outstanding from the moment we arrived. She had the AC in the Silver Streamer camper already going to welcome us. The amenities are always thoughtful and complete; this visit, she had even added bug spray, nuts, and a hammock for our use. Each morning, Nancy greeted us and has coffee and tea avaliable add day, then took us on a tour to feed the farm's cute animals. She also provides filtered water and countless other little touches that make a stay here special. We always feel safe and completely welcome here. One Thing Ranch is our absolute go-to, and we won't stay anywhere else in the area. It's the perfect spot for families, groups of friends, or a solo retreat. The location is ideal for exploring local attractions like the caves, Shasta Lake, and Burney Falls.
