Stories from the community

1 night at Maren G.’s Land

We stayed one night in our sprinter van with our three dogs. We went straight to the site when we arrived. Maren put a boat by our campsite to use. My husband caught and released a few fish and we were visited by two geese and their babies and a white swan. We fell asleep listening to frogs, crickets and other sounds of nature. We would definitely stay again.

1 night at Trailer Lane Campground

Easy access off Highway 5. Nice little market and very clean. Beautiful view of Mt Shasta from the tent camping area.

1 night at Trailer Lane Campground

Karen's hospitality is something that I would love to get in every place that I stay, when I travel. I answered tones of questions and got tones of very kind and very useful answers. Her place is wonderful and extremely comfortable. And there is also a hill with the best view of the Mt. Shasta. Definitely recommend Trailer Lane Campground for your stay in this region.

1 night at Shasta Cottages

Sweet little spot with amazing energy and views of Mt Eddy and Butte. I really enjoyed my stay here and felt safe and relaxed.

Weekend Trip to Juniper Spur Ranch

Gorgeous views of the mountain on a lovely property! Easy to get to!

1 night at Oak Ring Ridge

What a spectacular spot, we had so much fun. The cabin was perfect and the surrounding area was majestic. We lost track of time while inventorying all the wildlife footprints we saw, a feast for your eyes and imagination. Highly recommended and hope to stay again in the future.

1 night at Juniper Valley Campsites

Fantastic! Couldn’t imagine a more picturesque and peaceful campsite. The location is beautiful and the view is unbeatable. Highly recommend, hope to stay again soon!

1 night at Whiskeytown Lake Getaway

This was the first time we used Hipcamp and we were very pleased. The setting was beautiful, quiet and private and the host was very pleasant and accommodating. There is a mt bike and hiking trail system a short walk away. It was a great place to spend a couple of nights.

1 night at Shasta Mountaineer

Had the most amazing time! Our host became a fast friend and really helped to enhance our experience. He was very welcoming to our animals too and he had one of his own. The space was fantastic too and we had multiple site locations to choose from. Would high recommend!

1 night at Whiskeytown Lake Getaway

Beautiful, peaceful spot and the host was super accomodating and pleasant. A great place to stay

1 night at Muladhara Vector Camp Mount Shasta

Very cool campsite and very welcoming host. Tommie was very kind and offered to upgrade my spot as well as to build me a fire. Beautiful spot to stargaze.

2 nights at Firebird Ridge

Ben is a wonderful host! Amazing views and use of the resources there. We’re looking forward to camping there again in the future.

4 nights at Whiskeytown Lake Getaway

Nice quiet spot. Only .25 miles from the Swasey trailhead... Responsive host. Will be back.

Weekend Trip to Kosk Creek Campgrounds

The campground was very peaceful with many great sites right along the river. There are three sets of hot springs which were wonderful to soak in. The river and scenery was beautiful. Only a few sites have picnic tables so bringing chairs / foldable table could be helpful. The campground is a bit of a drive from attractions like Burney Falls but we loved that it wasn’t crowded. Would definitely recommend coming up Big Bend Road from the South (as the host recommends). The first 80% of the road coming from that direction is fine with the last 20% being paved but having some big potholes. When leaving we continued Northbound on Big Bend Road which connects to McCloud, however this stretch of the road is not paved and would at the minimum need an SUV with decent clearance due to large loose gravel

Weekend Trip to Juniper Valley Campsites

Great place to stay definitely work for a 35 foot fifth wheel

Weekend Trip to Juniper Valley Campsites

Great spot with a stunning view of Mt. Shasta. Host was super nice. Get the eggs!

Weekend Trip to Kosk Creek Campgrounds

Right next to the water with about a 5 minute walk to the hot springs. Super chill and relaxing spot. Listening to the creek was really nice at night. The only sketchy part was the size of the potholes on the way there. My tiny car made it but wouldn’t want to make the trip with any type of rain in the forecast. 10 out of 10 would stay again.

1 night at Juniper Valley Campsites

Alex is a very friendly host. 10/10 recommend camping here; the views are absolutely epic!

1 night at Firebird Ridge

Peaceful picturesque spot away from it all. For a 10 min detour from the I-5, I was transported to a tranquil thoughtful campground overlooking the valley. An evening hike to a swimming pond. Great campsite and fire pit. Sunset and a huge night sky full of stars. Definitely recommend!

1 night at Kosk Creek Campgrounds

Very nice Meadow along a creek/ river. Access to hot spring makes it all the more worthwhile! Camp host/ owner was very friendly and accommodating :)

There is a green pipe rail gate at the end. This gate has a combination lock. You will receive the current combination code 2 days before your arrival.

Firebird Ridge

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents60 acres · Hornbrook, CA

Welcome to adventure in far north Siskiyou County! Firebird Ridge presents a fantastic secluded camp station in a beautiful semi-wild setting with huge open sky views over 50 miles of the Klamath River canyon and Siskiyou Crest. Just 10 minutes off the freeway, a variety of simple thoughtfully laid out sites afford comfy car and tent camping or smaller RVs and vans, with ample privacy. Small to medium size (5-15p) groups may combine sites and enjoy some shared space and amenities, please inquire. **04/25: entry road has 1 mile bumpy section awaiting maintenance** At an elevation just under 3000 feet, the Ridge gets lots of sun, with cold nights and hot days in winter and summer respectively. This is a drier climate between May and October, meaning some fire risk and potential smoke impacts in area forests, although the mountainside location generally offers clean fresh air with stunning sunsets and excellent stargazing. The land contains over a mile of scenic trails with rock features, gnarly old "bonsai" oak trees, native plants and wildflowers in a landscape undergoing restoration to healthy diverse fire resistant conditions. Wildlife abounds, mostly the friendly sort however visitors should be mindful to avoid unwelcome encounters, and any small children or pets kept under close watch. Your host can address questions or concerns. Count on fair to good cell service, wifi and power are centrally accessible too. Activity and development on site are minimized to enhance natural habitat and ambience. Guests are advised to minimize disturbance of other occupants and lifeforms. It's fine to have fun and make some intermittent noise but disruptive or damaging behavior will be curtailed. This extends to the neighborhood as well, especially on the road in/out where it's important to keep your speed (dust, noise etc) DOWN in the vicinity of houses. The property is not a park, playground, or big backyard, in fact probably not much like anyplace you've been...prepare for a novel experience! Come as a guest, not a customer, and find yourself at home in the wild. Youth visitors are welcome but must be supervised and receptive to guidelines. This location is not set up (yet) for people with mobility challenges, or people with no prior wilderness experience.

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

Shasta Valley Horse Ranch Adventure

2 sites · RVs34 acres · Montague, CA

Scenic views on a hilltop surrounded by mountains overlooking a valley and pond. Wide open spaces dotted with junipers and oaks. Bring your self-contained RV or camper. No tent camping at this time, sorry. Wake up to see the sun on the hillsides and the beautiful horses and donkeys grazing nearby. Your RV will be in a separate area apart from the horses, but near enough to observe them. We are located between Mt Shasta and Mt Ashland with winter sports nearby. Hike the Klamath National Monument trails. Visit the old mining town of Yreka and check out historic Montague's Open Sky Art Gallery, the only justice-inspired art gallery in the Pacific Northwest. Many waterfalls and clean lakes in our area to visit too. I am an ARCH (Arenas for Change) Designated Horse Professional, Coach and Educator. I will be present with you for any horse experience you choose. Horse experiences available: 1. Communication with Horses. Connect and interact with the 5 horses and 2 donkeys in their pasture in a natural setting. Build confidence, reset your nervous system, and experience a deeper dimension of horse nature and how they teach and heal us. Stroke or groom horses as you learn more about these magnificent, sensitive creatures. 2. Self-Development with Horses. Want to be seen and heard? SEEN and HERD is a wellness session with horses with a specific intention you identify. This experience is often deep, transformational, and healing. The solution to any issue lies within ourselves. The unfolding stories of the horses and donkeys, as they interact with us in their natural setting, lend insights into our own story. Learn what is needed to move forward with intent. 3. Mountain Horseback Trail Riding. Go for a ride with a wrangler and me on gentle riding horses up well-established mountain trails on a recreational ranch as my guest. Guest fees apply and are included in the price. 4. Arena Horseback Riding and Lesson. Ride alongside me in a large arena on a gentle riding horse. Learn how to relate to the horse as you ride, communicate effectively, keep your balance using the correct posture, turn, stop, and move forward smoothly. Build your confidence as you learn from a patient riding instructor. No judgment, no yelling. Just fun learning!
