The recreation opportunities in the Alturas CA area are endless, fishing, hiking biking, hunting, boating and OHV. The camping site has nearly 3 acres with a view of the town of Alturas and is a great place to kick back and enjoy the atmosphere of fresh air and juniper trees. There are flat usable campsites around the property and one portion of the property is fenced for horses (bring your own water trough). The property is approximately 3 minutes from downtown Alturas with restaurants and stores. The sleepy town is a perfect place to hang out and relax at the big park in town behind the VFW Hall on Main Street, have refreshments at the two bars in town or try your luck at the Desert Rose Casino. The Wildlife Refuge has a self driving tour where you can see all kinds of birds and wildlife. Take a drive outside town to the "Ranches" to see deer, antelope, eagles and various waterfowl! Alturas is a high desert area with wonderful views of the Warner Mountains and has an enchanting feel to it. Temperatures in the summer rarely get over 100 degrees, mostly low 90's, and in the fall the cool nights make for great sleeping. Pop over Cedar Pass to Cedarville which is about 20 minutes away to check out the newly designated "Dark Sky" area. Come up and hang out in this very cool and special place, you will not want to leave!! The town of Alturas is also in the coveted X hunting zones, X3a, X3b and X2, for those of you who like to hunt. Two sites have full hook ups and the small trailer site on the above pad (see trailer picture) has electric only. During the winter, the pump house is turned off and drained due to freezing temperatures and the risk of blowing a pipe, so campers must bring their own water during November through March.

Super well kept property with new utilities. Perfect location for me while duck hunting the refuge which only 13 minutes away. Definitely will be back!

What a beautiful spot this was! It felt so private and was nice and level. There was room for another camper, but we were there by ourselves and enjoyed the quiet. Stacie was very kind to work with.

The ranch was easy to find and easy to access. All utilities were in great condition with no troubles. The host, another camper, and related friends were warm, welcoming, generous, and so much fun! Clear sunny mornings, quiet starry nights, and an alpaca and a donkey for company, it’s the perfect launch pad from which to work or explore. We’ll be back and bring more apples for the donkey.

It was so surprisingly quiet and we were the only ones there so it was awesome having the place to ourselves. We were having trouble with the sewer hookup but Hans came right over and fixed it. There was a block party going on near our spot so we checked that out and we had great burgers and it was awesome!

We had a wonderful time at Lorissa’s campsite. She was very responsive and helpful while we were booking and friendly while we were there, we appreciated her hospitality!
The property is easy to get to, a nice view up on the hillside, and a good level spot to camp on.

Kids liked the playground. It was nice to do laundry also. The showers went a little cold when they were both on at the same time but other than that it was nice and peaceful.

Overall, it’s a nice camp for long drive to take a break. Jim is nice to welcome us and navigate us to the site. The site floor is pretty even, but only bother us is the tree with lower brunch touched the roof of trailer, that need to be removed. The camp has big space to walk around if you have dog, that’s a good camp for you

A beautiful, quiet, welcoming, and well loved retreat with great wonderful landscaping. Great communication with the host. Woke up with 4 deer investigating us while we made breakfast. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a private camp space.
Looking forward to staying again in a couple weeks!!
