Plumas Headwaters Off-grid Retreat
1. Plumas Headwaters Off-grid Retreat
39mi from Lake Almanor West · 1 site
Secluded, remote, quiet and private! The Plumas Headwaters Retreat is set at 5900' with ridges rising on both sides, and a creek that flows through. This property is a unique and evolving habitat and ecosystem restoration project where you can see the rebirth of a forest, following the 2021 Dixie Fire. Headwaters Retreat is a perfect option for finding critters such as mule deer, black bear, an occasional bobcat or coyote, and raptors & upland birds! While more elusive and less frequent, you may even see or hear elk, wolves and mountain lions!
Being surrounded by National Forest and gently rising ridges to the west and east, this site is perfect for easy to moderate hikes, mtn biking the forest roads, or doing some dark-sky stargazing from the ridges!

Quail Ridge RV Park

48mi from Lake Almanor West · 30 sites
Quail Ridge RV Park has 17 acres nestled in the Plumas National Forest. We do NOT have direct water access. We are surrounded by four lakes, with Sly Creek and Lost Lake Reservoirs being the closest (about 3 mi. north of us), two major rivers and Feather Falls, the 3rd largest waterfall in California. Outdoor activities abound with fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking trails and mountain biking trails. You can also explore the local rivers and try your luck at gold panning.
Our park is primarily divided into three areas: (1) we have 7 dedicated RV sites for weekend RV's that have full hook-ups, which include 30/50 amp. electric, water and septic connection (no pull through sites); (2) an area in the middle of the park where permanent residents live; and (3) a large area for volleyball, lounging, and playground on the opposite side of the park.
Sorry, but due to the always present fire danger, no wood burning fires are allowed. You may use your own propane fire ring or propane or charcoal grill.
We have clean laundry and showers and flush toilets on the north side of the park. There is one shower and one flush toilet for each men and women that are handicapped accessible. Showers cost $1 for 12 minutes of hot water.
Cell phone service is spotty. AT&T/Cricket and sometimes Verizon work the best. We now have free Wi-Fi in the park!
Quail Ridge RV Park is very pet friendly, and we have a beautiful new dog park for our 4-footed friends. However, we cannot accept aggressive breed dogs, or Pit-Bull mixed dogs (sorry, but our insurance company restricts these breeds). Please identify the dog breed when you are making a reservation.

Our first time using hip camp and camping in this area. We have a pop-up trailer and two dogs. The hosts are wonderful. The bathroom is spacious and clean with good water pressure. People respected the quiet hours. There were lots of trees and shade. We left for the majority of the day and nothing that was left outside or inside our trailer was touched. We would stay here again.

We had a great experience on our recent camping trip! Pamela, our host, was incredibly helpful and kind throughout our stay. She gave very clear instructions, which made everything easy to follow. Even though we arrived quite late due to the holiday traffic, she was extremely patient and accommodating. Her warm hospitality really made a difference and set the tone for a relaxing getaway.
