🐝 the Wasps and Hornets are bad this year in the Sierras. We have traps out, but be cautious and aware!

In 2024 the Park Fire has brought some changes to our surroundings, but we’re thrilled to share that our camp sites, pond area, and homes were miraculously untouched! 🌲✨
Here’s what you can expect during your stay:
- Mud Creek Canyon: While this area was most affected by the fire, it remains a good spot for hiking and exploring.
- The Pond: It’s looking beautiful, and we have completed restoring the stream that feeds it. Enjoy the serene environment as nature continues to flourish.
- Ongoing Restoration: We’re committed to rejuvenating the land and ensuring your experience remains as wonderful as ever.
=================
The Maple Creek Ranch and Tree Farm has been family owned and operated since 1934. The patriarch of the family, whose family had moved here from Denmark, had a great love of the forest and trains. The property was one of the first certified tree farms in California with the goal of nurturing a healthy forest. In the 1960’s, a mile of railroad tracks was laid and the whistle of a small, steam engine train could be heard throughout the community. Local residents and kids were treated to free train rides and special events for many years.
There is a natural spring with a small creek that supplies the ponds with fresh water year around. There is also a small canyon on the property with a larger stream called Mud Creek. The land is rich in Indian history and there a artifacts and other signs on the Indians presence.
The Cohasset area is relatively unknown. 15 miles from our property is Deer Creek and the Lasson National Forest is about a 2 hour drive north.
While staying with us you can pitch your tent on our private 500 acres. We have 2 primitive camping spots on our property. Each spot has a picnic table and
fire pit. There is a flush toilet shared for both camp sites. * During freezing weather the toilets may be closed so they don’t freeze! Please check before booking
*The spots are spread out to ensure privacy. Our property is surrounded by the forest and is loaded with deer, squirrels, turkeys and other forest animals. We have numerous walking trails, a fresh water pond for fishing and swimming. Please notify us if you have an RV.
Site 1 is best for RV's. Site 2 can accommodate smaller RV's.

Westwood, CA · 1 site · Tent, RV
Turner Beach At Lake Almanor is a privately owned vacant lakefront lot. The property is wide enough to accommodate 3 RV's/camp trailers end to end, ensuring no blocked views of the lake. You will be camping along Lake Almanor's East Shore on your own private campground instead of "combat camping" in the public campgrounds nearby. Additionally, the property can accommodate numerous smaller vans and tents. We have 2 mooring buoys and a large dock. (Dock may no longer be in the water after September) There is a sani-hut potty which is maintained/cleaned weekly. The property is located between the lake and the highway, so there will be road noise. Some guests have been bothered by the traffic and some have not.
We have 1 SUP board, 3 kayaks, and a canoe as well as a 5-person pedal boat that can be borrowed while renting our beach. Doing so will be at your own risk and you are required to wear personal floatation devices (lifejackets). Lifejackets are not provided, so you will need to bring your own. We ask that you please respect our toys and take care not to damage them or lose any parts/pieces.
ALL RENTERS MUST TAKE THEIR OWN TRASH WITH THEM WHEN THEY DEPART
No Fireworks, No firearms, No drugs allowed.
Dogs are allowed and we have a 10 x 10 x 6 kennel onsite. Campers are responsible for minding their pet's safety, politeness, and picking up their poo-poo's.
Marshmallow roasting/cooking fires must be kept small and are only allowed in the provided fire ring. There is firewood onsite.
The early mornings are tranquil, and the sunsets are STUNNING! We hope you enjoy your stay!
**Please understand, if you private message us asking to pay us directly to avoid the HIPCAMP fees, the answer will be NO! This is the platform we have chosen for our beach rental and we are not willing to skirt around it. Thank you for your understanding. :)
**Please Note: There is a large fire alarm located across the hwy. On the first Tues of each month, the alarm is tested at approx 1pm. Its very loud and lasts about 60 seconds.
**Bear alert! Some guests have mentioned having their garbage visited by bears. Please keep that in mind, secure your garbage and watch kids/pets, esp after dark!

Weekend Trip to Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
The host Anett has a heart of gold. Genuinely one of the kindest and most welcoming humans we have met. She is a true steward of the land that she has lovingly built over the years. From our first interaction, we felt right at home on her property.
The cabin is quaint and cozy. The perfect balance between convenient amenities and immersion in nature.
Despite our short 1 night stay the whole experience left a strong positive impression on us and we cannot wait to return for a longer stay!
Do not hesitate to book this cabin!

We loved how private and beautiful the campsite was! The creek was especially beautiful. The bugs were very manageable, and it was nice not having to worry about bears! All of the amenities that were added were so nice to have. Especially the propane fireplace in lieu of the fireban. The outhouse was very easy to manage packing in and packing out, and was so nice having a way to wash your hands.
The propane was not included, so make sure you bring your own! Additionally, make sure you know what type of propane tank is needed for the heater in the tent, as the one we brought did not fit so we could not use it.
The parking was a little tricky as the parking is on a considerable slope. We didn’t have any issues as we had mini SUV’s that had all wheel drive. Also, pay attention to the instructions driving there. I would suggest putting land markers in the directions to make sure you didn’t miss specific turns, etc.
Otherwise, it was a 10/10 trip and would highly recommend and will go again!!

The other site on the property is far enough so that you never really interact if you don’t want to, but close enough that you can definitely hear them if they’re playing music and being loud just FYI!

We loved this place! We were lucky enough to be the only campers on the property and thoroughly enjoyed our time exploring, relaxing, and spending time in the pond. With three water dogs with us, the pond was the most winning feature, and though there was a fair amount of algae, Kristin told us it was safe to swim in—fed by a continuously running freshwater spring—so we did. While the campsites themselves are fairly rustic, the area around the pond is actually quite posh, with an actual sand beach, an outdoor kitchen, nice seating and eating areas, an umbrella, and boats available to use. The dogs loved it, we loved it, and, selfishly, we were delighted not to have to share this community space with other campers.
Some of the captions with the photos are misleading—there aren’t RV hookups, a shower, or a community refrigerator, but we were fine with all that. The bathrooms and public areas were immaculately clean, and we were thrilled at the lack of poison oak and foxtails or stickers our dogs could get into. The hosts were welcoming and friendly (we got to see their amazing mini-steam engine and railroad), and despite the recent devastation from the Park Fire to surrounding land, the ranch is beautiful and well maintained, with signs of new growth everywhere.
We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
This was easily one of the best Hipcamp stays I’ve had. The tiny home is incredibly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully put together, with so many little touches that make the space feel welcoming and comfortable. She has clearly put a lot of care into the experience, from the amenities to the refreshments stocked in the fridge.
The property itself is beautiful and peaceful, and the friendly animals make it even more special. Being surrounded by the natural beauty near Portola was exactly the kind of quiet, rejuvenating reset anyone could ask seeking a retreat from their busy city lives.
She was also incredibly responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with, and I honestly think her pricing is more than fair for what she provides. She may call it “camping,” but this was easily the most luxurious camping I’ve ever done. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it without hesitation!

Camp was ok. Spots were good and car access good as well.
We booked via hipcamp which worked well. Be advised that after 6 pm or so there is no one there so you are on your own to find your camping spot. There was no cellphone connection so you should book in advance or otherwise you cannot have a place to sleep since there is no one in the evening to talk to and no cell phone connection. Also the showers needed coins which we did not have which is a problem after a hard day hiking

Where to go
North Shore
Chester, the largest town in the region, can be found on the north shore of Lake Almanor. Camping options include private campgrounds and RV parks, the PG&E-run Last Chance Campground and forest service Warner Creek, Domingo Springs, and High Bridge campgrounds. Lassen Volcanic National Park is less than 30 miles away, and convenient overnight options include the Warner Valley and Juniper Lake campgrounds. Or find plenty of backcountry options in Lassen National Forest’s Caribou Wilderness nearby.
East Shore
The Lake Almanor Peninsula, which nearly bisects the lake, can be found on the east shore of the lake. Several small communities and residential developments can be found along the shoreline, including Almanor, Hamilton Branch, Bailey Creek, and Foxwood. Several private campgrounds and RV resorts offer overnight options in lakeside and forested settings. Further east inland, find the Mountain Meadows Reservoir, popular with hunters and birdwatchers.
South Shore
Aside from the small community of Canyon Dam, which offers private RV resorts and a boat launch, most of the south shore is undeveloped land or part of the Lassen National Forest. Further south is the Plumas National Forest, which operates several campgrounds near the south shore. PG&E also manages several campgrounds, including Rock Point Campground and Camp Conery. Further south, find the Butt Valley Reservoir and several PG&E-run campgrounds, including the Ponderosa Flat and Cool Springs campgrounds.
West Shore
The west shore is home to the small communities of Lake Almanor West, Almanor, and Prattville, which offer a range of lodging and amenities, including a golf course. A portion of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway also winds past Lake Almanor’s west shore. Camping options include several private RV resorts, PG&E-run campgrounds, like Rocky Point, and campgrounds within Lassen National Forest, including Almanor, Soldier Meadows, and Hole-in-the-Ground campgrounds.
