This was our third visit to Camp Stoney Meadows. We've never being disappointed. Nora and Scott are super hosts. We love our hikes around the ranch and a dip in the cool refreshing river. Our cabin and the facilities were clean and well maintained. We'll be back

Weekend Trip to Camp Stoney Meadows

Scott and Nora's property is pretty neat. Scott fired up wood fire pizza oven and we got to make pizza from scratch! How amazing!! 100% recommended camping here. (Don't forget to pack insect and mosquito repellent with you.)

Weekend Trip to Camp Stoney Meadows

This was a great location with great views and lots to do. We would definitely recommend. The hike to the swimming hole was easy and we will bring our towels next time. We enjoyed the Ramada and hope to be back!

3 nights at Lassen Glampsite (No Electricity)

So nice to have a bed and shower at the end of the day even if it’s cold a shower. Place was much bigger than expected, very clean and the bed super comfortable.

The morning I left everything was so green and vivid because of the rain.

Weekend Trip to Camp Stoney Meadows

If you’ve ever trekked the Camino de Santiago, traversed the Pacific Crest Trail, or wandered through the Appalachian wilderness, you’ll understand what I mean when I say Stoney Meadows is more than a place—it’s a feeling, a community, and a refuge at the end of your day. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Alex, the foreman. His kindness and helpful guidance made settling in effortless, which was especially appreciated after a ten-hour drive. Throughout my brief stay, I often saw him working alongside his children, teaching them the value of their home and instilling a deep respect for the land and its people. The property itself is built with clear intention. From the placement of fire pits that provide privacy without isolation, to the welcoming communal spaces that encourage gatherings, everything about Stoney Meadows fosters a natural flow of interaction and tranquility. Scattered patches of wildflowers add delicate bursts of color along the trails, contrasting beautifully with the variety of trees that offer shade and shelter. The natural hot springs provide a relaxing way to unwind. The ever-present river outside my bunkhouse added another layer of serenity, its rhythmic sounds creating a perfect backdrop for rest. While I didn’t have the opportunity to meet the owners, as they were out of the area during my stay, they were highly responsive to my email inquiries prior to my trip, offering clear and timely communication that made planning easy.

Camp Stoney Meadows

13 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents120 acres · Big Bend, CA

Our 120 remote acres are adjacent to Shasta Trinity National Forest in the beautiful Cascade Range between Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta in Northern California. It's a working ranch with tree farms, animals, hydroelectric power, sawmill, gardens, orchards, creeks, springs, trails, and our camp alongside Kosk Creek. We're 54 miles from Redding off of 299E, (about 1-1/2 hour drive). DO NOT TAKE ROAD 11 FROM THE NORTH, IT IS CLOSED! PIease try to ignore the "car art" in the Pit River Tribe's Rancheria as you're coming here. Drive right through it, it's no reflection on us. The last mile or so of the road here can be pretty rough, but on arrival, you'll know it's worth the trip! No Cell phone service available here, so it's the perfect opportunity to unplug. We do have a land line up at the house in case of an emergency. Also, if you really need it, WiFi is available at the house.
