-Sierra Sol Camp Whole Property (all sites)
The Sierra Sol Camp project has been hosting community events and friend gathering for years. We take great pride in extending a warm and welcoming space for all our visitors and extending the invitation to campers was a great next step.
We have listings ranging from yurts to shipping containers, an old water tower converted to a vintage trailer and canvas tents.
We are based in between the middle fork of the Yuba river right where it meets up with Oregon Creek. If you like a long walk it is 2.5 miles down the dirt road to Oregon Creek and the middle fork of the Yuba. Driving takes 5 to 10 mins. The other direction is the largest lake in our county Bullards Bar Reservoir and Emerald Cove Marina. We are 1 mile down Marysville Rd. from a launch called dark day. There is a trailhead at the top of overflow boat parking for a public swimming hole on the lake.
On our property, we have a main house with its own private facilities such as a kitchen, shower, and bath. On the land, we have 9 total unique cabin and canvas tent structures converted into boutique-like campsites. We have an epic outdoor entertaining kitchen and patio with an outdoor pizza oven and a little dog rinse behind the outdoor shower. The bathhouse is right across the way and provides a private but shared guest shower house, tub and sink.
Like anywhere in the woods there is an hour at sunset when you may have mosquitoes down near the sites in the spring and some of the summers depending on the year. We have a natural spray for that or fans in the kitchen. Off the path, you may find poison oak in the thick of the woods. So please stay on the marked trails.

Our yurt and treehouse are located on Lago Lomita Vineyards with a view of the entire Monterey Bay. We've been hosting guests since 2015 and are looking forward to meeting you!
Both our treehouse and yurt listings are unique experiences. They both are adjacent to the Tierra Madre Vineyard Block and have awesome views of the entire Monterey Bay/Pacific Ocean. We are located on 44 acres high atop the Santa Cruz Mountains but close to all the major beaches and Silicon Valley. Please be aware this is camping in nature, along with squirrels, spiders, falling leaves, etc. and nature is not always for everyone. There is a 45ft. ladder to climb to get into the treehouse. The view at sunset is spectacular.
Featured on the first page of top Glamping destinations in California, in National Geographic's 50 States, 500 campgrounds.
Both sites include a trunk of goodies:
Complimentary trunk of goodies that is filled with muffins, mugs, creamer, sugar, coffee, croissants, cards, champagne & wine glasses & wine opener!
We acquired the property in 1991, shortly after the Lexington Fire (1985) and Loma Prieta earthquake (1989). At that time, the entire property has degenerated into disrepair, and all the vineyards had been overwhelmed by the wilderness.
In 2011, we started the herculean effort of clearing away the wilderness, resurrecting all the vineyards and renovating our home. In 2014, we started replanting the vineyards, and opened our tree house to visitors in 2015.
Just like us, I think you will fall in love with this property, and enjoy every minute of your time here.
We look forward to your stay.

This magical and private Yurt in the woods are just 2 miles from Nevada City
Come experience the Beauty of the Sierra Foothills and the Yuba River in our Yurts tucked into the forest just 2 miles from downtown Nevada City.
With a natural creek right outside your door and hiking trails right off the deck, this serene and beautiful yurt retreat awaits you.
Nevada City is renowned for its excellent food, shopping, nightlife and farmer’s market. A leisurely walk into town takes 45 mins, bike in 15 or drive in 5.
Grass Valley is 10 minutes away as well and has more food, shopping, and entertainment for you.
Access to the Yuba River is as close as 20 mins to Edwards Crossing and 20 mins to Hoyts Crossing on Highway 49.
We absolutely recommend trying to stay for two or more nights so that you can get accustomed to the space, learn the property, settle in, and relax.
Each yurt has a wood-fired stove inside with plenty of wood stacked to keep you warm.
Each yurt has a kitchen that is fully equipped with a hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator, cutlery, pots and pans, grill, etc.
Each yurt has a Queen bed with a heating blanket to help keep you cozy throughout the night.
Each yurt has its own dedicated wood-fired hot tub. It requires a fire to be lit and maintained to keep it hot.
Things you might like to bring: headlamps, robe, flip flops, slippers, hiking shoes.
Water: we are on a well and provide fresh drinking water in a container for you. It’s fine to drink, cook, and bathe with the water from the tap but it can have a minerally quality to it. We test the well annually.
We provide filtered water but if it runs out, the water out of the tap is safe and delicious.
The hot tub: it’s wood fired. This means you have to heat it with a fire to get it hot. This can take many hours to get to the right temperature. It’s a good idea to start a fire right when you get there! This tub may have leaves in it (they fall from above) and cloudy water. The water should NOT smell, the cloudiness is a part of the cedar tubs charm- ash from the fire and particulate from the cedar mix together. We treat it between guests with natural products that maintain the wood (you can’t use chlorine in these tubs). We clean it regularly. Shower before using it to wash off any oils please! The outdoor shower is lovely :)
Fireplace: We will leave you a bundle of wood that comes with the rental. If you need more wood you can purchase it from us or from the grocery store. We have lots of wood at the yurt and we ask you to pay $10 per bundle if you use more then we leave you inside. This is on the honor system- It takes a lot of time and resources to keep wood stocked for the property. If you don’t know how to start a fire you may want to bring an instant log with you. Please leave the lighter behind for the next guest.
Sleep: we have a heating blanket for cold nights, It’s about 10 degrees cooler on our land than in town. This is a real treat during our hot summers. There will be a fan for you as well during the warm season.
We live in the woods, there are bugs and wild animals on/or near the property. This is part of the country charm and should be expected. Please don't leave food outside.
Land acknowledgment:
We acknowledge that our property is located on unceeded land. It is the traditional homeland of the Nisenan tribe. The Nisenan tribe is alive and active and continues to fight for federal recognition and compensation for land loss.
We donate 10% of AIRBB proceeds between CHIRP which promotes the history and culture of the Nisenan tribe.

Originally purchased in the late 60's by "Redwood and Savatri", Oz Farm was initially a commune of sorts and is no doubt a very special place...heck, its even got it's own comic book! Here you can pick your poison, as the property is comprised of 7 rustic cabins, redwood campsites, and geodesic domes that would make Buckminster Fuller proud. The working farm is comprised of over 230 accessible acres of flowing meadows, redwood groves, prime agriculture, and is intersected by the beautiful Garcia River, which flows into the mighty pacific. One thing that is very apparent, is how clearly passionate the community at Oz Farm is about ecology and agriculture. Once you step foot onto Oz Farm, you'll begin to understand why.
The property is open seasonally and frequently rented by full-camp retreats and events throughout the summer. Individual cabins open to rent one month in advance and are advertised through instagram @villageozfarm

Welcome to Oracle Oak
Oracle Oak is located in the Oak Savannas, in Nisenan territory, in Nevada City California.
Home of the Nisenan Rancheria Natives, the Deer Creek Watershed.
Currently stewarding these lands are some very hand crafty & gardening witches.
We are stewards of this land, graciously grateful to grow food such as corn, broomcorn, pumpkins, flowers, and watermelons under the sun.
This land is located less than 20 mins to multiple different Yuba River access points. We are also located in the Armpit of Nevada county with 3 access ways 15 mins each way to Grass Valley, Nevada City or Penn Valley.
The neighborhood of this area is also one of the more safer bike friendlier places, you can ride into town along the NID trails, or set up camp and head up the 20HWY less than 20 mins to enjoy Epic Mountain Biking Trails.
Not only are we crafty, but also nature enthusiasts to feel free to reach out and ask about fun things to do here, if you are looking to stay busy exploring the nature. We also have a beautiful sunset hike that overlooks some beautiful views.
Oracle Oak Grove has a wide variety of camping options.
We have a camp grounds on the lower end of the property that currently hosts 4 different camp sites. the 3 May Pole zone, and 1 Faerie fields.
There is one shared Bonfire zone that can be used for friends camping together during the spring and late fall months when we are not in fire season.
We love hosting groups and birthday parties. Also individual campers as well.
We have two yurts available if you are more into the Glamping experience or especially if camping in the winter.
The Witches Hut and The Little Witch Hut!
The Witches Hut which is larger and can fit a family of 3 or 4.
This hut includes a patio, grill, and Private entrance.
The Little Witch Hut is smaller and more suitable for a couple or a single person wanting some solo retreat time. This one has cooking amenities accessible in an outdoor kitchen just outside the yurt. This one also gets better access to the Starlink available on the property. This yurt has the compost toilet outside and is a less than minute walk to it.
Both yurts have the ability to park fairly close to them and both are fully furnished. The Yurts are available for a higher expense than the camping of course.
We are sorry to say that Hot tub season is now closed.
We do have a wood-fired Cedar Hot tub, she is our Cauldron she is only available during winter and very early spring visits. I am sorry, but due to fire season and her being wood-fired she is not available outside hot tub season.
If you are interested in the experience it requires advanced noticed as well as an extra charge for wood, cleaning, and tending. She is a labor of love, and such a unique experience. Enjoy the smell of cedar, chlorine free waters under the stars.
Enjoy and hopefully you come and experience the Magic we have made Stewarding these acres.
PLEASE come check in before DARK. We are in a very Rural Area and it can be difficult to see a night where to park and camp. We have pathways and lights to guide, but there is a DESIGNATED parking zone and a cart available to carry your stuff to your CAMPSITE. This is not a CAR Camping spot there is ONE car camping site and the rest you is a very short walk to your site. Thank you.

This beautiful yurt village is a hidden gem is the Santa Cruz Mountains and a perfect spot for families looking to get away from the Silicon Valley hussle. The yurts are so well stocked and taken care of, you almost forget your living simple.
Our host was extremely responsive to our needs and did a great job welcoming us. We can’t wait to keep rebooking this site for future weekend get a ways.

Our first stay was with a bigger group and we stayed at the bear den . With. Smaller group this time, we stayed in bear hollow. It was a cozier setting.

3 nights at The Black Oak Forest
Beautiful site, lots of trees and feels very private. The owners are in a house up the hill but there's so many trees between us that we couldn't see the house. We had 3 tents and all got good flat spots under tree canopies. I ordered 2 boxes of firewood, they came as 2 milk crate size boxes of pine and 1 box of oak. It was plenty for 2 nights. Also, the stars are amazing at night!
The American River is a 15 min drive away and we found a great spot for kids to play in the water. It's also close to Sutter's Mill where gold was discovered that started the gold rush. We saw some people in period dress demonstrating a traditional way to cut wood.
One night we had dinner at Allez! in Diamond Springs (25 min drive), we had escargot, coq au vin and beef bourguignon. Such a treat while camping!
Hosts are super! Melissa handled all our questions before arrival and once on site Tim came to greet us and was very responsive to all our questions and texts.
We experienced a super clean port-o-potty (it was cleaned out on our first full day we were there) and we also experienced a pretty full port-o-potty. I'm so glad it got cleaned out during our first day, as it was starting to smell before that. We had 6 people for the weekend and I was surprised at how quickly it filled up.
The site is close enough to a road that you hear cars during the day. It's not a busy road and there was no honking, but you do hear cars. Traffic dies down at night so we slept well. I loved this spot!

Mathilda is a patient, communicative host and it was a joy working with her while planning our birthday weekend at Double Bear!
The road to the property is hard to navigate at times, but everyone was able to make it safely with the provided instructions and signs (and some help from Mathilda herself if they missed the last turn and you ended up at her house).
The property itself was lovely. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen yurt prepping food, eating, and playing games. All of the yurts are so spacious! Mathilda and her team seem to be doing a great job taking care of the yurts. We didn't have any complaints.
Two showers and two toilets was a bit difficult to share between 12-13 people, but we made it work! It would feel pretty tight to share with strangers, I think, but it felt fun and like a dorm hall experience to share with friends :)

Weekend Trip to Sierra Sol Camp
This place was sincerely the best stay we’ve had in the Sierras. If peaceful was a place, it’d be here. Right away we felt at home with the decor and curated spaces; that community kitchen 🤯, the secret bath house grape vine oasis clawfoot bathtub 😘, the CATHEDRAL 🙏. 10/10 will be back!

2 nights at Private Yurts - Nevada City
Such a lovely getaway with just the right amount of accommodations and wilderness. Everything was super well taken care of, hosts were responsive and communicative, and I absolutely loved the recommendations for restaurants nearby. Also met some of the sweetest animals on this property and the eggs from the chickens were great! I’ll be back and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a nature gateway with the luxuries of a shower and kitchen.

We were looking for a basic camping site near San Diego, but all the public sites were impossible to book. We were thrilled to find this wonderful site not so far from the city (around 40 minutes). We decided to go for a yurt rather than camp this time as heavy rain was forecast. The yurts were very clean and spacious. If you enjoy a soft pillowy bed at home, you might want to bring something softer to lie on as the rustic bunk beds do the job but some might find them a little too "rustic" for their body. The bathrooms were very much appreciated for their cleanliness and very well maintained. We didn't see or meet another person at the site and it was incredibly quiet. Apart from the occasional car driving past there was only the sound of bird song.
We didn't spend much time at the ranch, but I did enjoy a walk down to the "was-a-lake". I can imagine if the water gods blessed us at a different time of year, the lake would be wonderful.
We very much enjoyed the food at the nearby Descanso Junction restaurant which is a great and lively option if you aren't inclined to cook for yourself.
It was also really appreciated that the sites are reasonably priced unlike some locations on hipcamp.
We hope to return in the future.

Mathilda is such a wonderful host. Her communication, attention to detail, generosity, and affection to our children quickly made our holiday weekend a lovely memory for all our families. She had a gift basket with a smores kit to welcome us into the kitchen Yurt.
The facilities are clean and beautiful. All of us collectively commented how warm and cozy and welcoming the entire space is. All the Yurts had a fireplace that made the experience that much more cozy and warm. The restroom with two showers and toilets were perfect, and didn't smell at all. The trails were pleasant to hike with our kids. Reaching the top of the property allowed us to see the Santa Cruz mountains, and was a great enough workout for the kids.
Double Bear was a delight for all four of our families when we stayed 3 days and 3 nights over labor day weekend. Since our group was 12, of which there were 7 adults, 4 kids (ages 4 to 5), and one infant, we rented out the entire space. Our kids loved the hammock, the fire pit to make smores, the hot tub to relax, and the kitchen yurt to do several arts and crafts. We even appreciated the TV, so we could have a kids movie night. If you are able to vacation with other families with kids around the same age, they will entertain themselves around the property, and even willingly go hiking, or create an imaginary stage play at the small theatre. We stayed inside Double Bear the entire holiday weekend.
Our kids can't wait to come back and visit Double Bear again!

1 night at Mariposa Institute
My partner and I loved staying at Mariposa Institute! Such a tranquil environment and waking up to the rain and birds was so peaceful. We're thinking of coming back again for a group retreat as this is also offered on the premises.

The site was immaculate and very well set up. The beds were by far the most comfortable of our entire trip, especially after staying in various locations along the way.
All the amenities were clearly documented, and the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with everything you could need—and more.
Our host, Mathilda, was extremely helpful with the visit and provided clear instructions. Her husband was also a great help in getting us into the site.
Without a doubt, this was the best experience of our San Francisco to LA road trip. The kids absolutely loved their surprise yurt adventure—a beautiful mountain-side setting complete with a hot tub and fire. 🔥
A fantastic experience that we would happily recommend to anyone looking for something a little different.

The host was responsive. Location was pretty sweet. Not far from activities that we came for.
The yurt was a great size, very clean and comfortable. Loved the electric tea kettle and skylight. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen.
The water didn't work as advertised. Everything else was very good.

6 nights at Terra Cultura
The Family Yurt was a pleasant stay, nicely sized, and well appointed. My brother and I stayed here for six days and enjoyed the welcoming space and well kept surroundings. The beds are comfy and it was nice to wake up to the sound of birds and breeze through the trees.
There are two yurts and the bathroom close to the Family Yurt, so you will hear other people if those spots are occupied.
I would recommend staying here, just make sure you have a high enough clearance vehicle to get in. A crossover, SUV, or truck would probably be fine. The main parking lot has a very aggressively angled driveway transitioning from the main drive. We had issues in our Corolla with both traction and ground clearance getting up the driveway. Filling in the transition with some 2x4s to worked ok to avoid damaging the car.

Weekend Trip to Mariposa Institute
The Yurt was super spacious and the extra coushins were helpful with sleeping, the fan was also helpful during the hot times of the day. Had a bit of issue with the wifi on the first night but some troubleshooting resolved the issue. The meadow was amazing during the night, we hadn't seen soo many stars in a long tome it was breathtaking. Would definitely stay here again on our future trips, thanks so much Rayna for being available even when not on property.
