Weekend Trip to Bright Bear Camp in Tahoe NF

Beautiful peace of property that I look forward to revisiting. Had easy access to the road, had great accommodations. Loved the hosts, very kind and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Wisdom eco-preserv

The directions were very helpful and the camp location around the meadow is truly magical and beautiful. We slept so well, we had lovely camp neighbors and Adam was helpful as a host. Also the cutest shower and outhouse toilets!

2 nights at Bright Bear Camp in Tahoe NF

This place was AMAZING. The little cabin was gorgeous, simplistic but totally decked out with whatever we needed. It was pretty private, and overlooked an amazing patch of forest. Kelley was amazing, so very helpful and kind, she really made sure we had everything we needed. The area was pretty remote, but not challenging to find. Felt just lost enough, but safe the entire time! There’s a sweet little river nearby, and you can hear it from the campsite, it was a short little walk to get there. Cold but stunning. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. The tent camping looked amazing too, but my partner and I will for sure be back for the little cabin. All in all, the area was gorgeous, the host was phenomenal, the cabin was perfect. Can’t wait to go back! (also shoutout to Kelley’s neighbor Laurie, who was also really kind and generous!)

2 nights at Wisdom eco-preserv

I love the remote location. Lots of trees! Lots of mosquitoes! I left the only thing that makes my life complete, and for that reason alone, I cannot return!

Weekend Trip to Bright Bear Camp in Tahoe NF

We had fun! Kelley was gracious and very helpful. Pearl was perfect for me and my 2 little ones. Bright Bear Camp felt safe and peaceful. We absolutely loved our stay!

Weekend Trip to Camp Watanda at Lake Vera

Our family of four (2 kids, age 7 & 9) had a great time. The lake was so calm and private. Appreciated all the kayaks available, my kids had the best time riding the kids kayaks and fishing off the pier. The bathrooms do the job. The kiosks are nice and were equipped with chairs, a small table to prepare food on and a cooler that you could take down to the lake. Really thoughtful hosts! Thank you so much!

2 nights at Oracle Oak Grove

Very. Secluded, very simple and quiet campsite. Exactly what we were looking for.

2 nights at Wisdom eco-preserv

Absolutely amazing property. Myself and my girl were literally the only folks this last week. My advise is to screenshot driving directions because you won't have cell/GPS service, also I recommend arriving during daylight hours, almost impossible to find the sites in the dark. Beautiful hikes. Also if you see a golden lab female running around, FEED HER! she is a total sweetheart but will not let you touch her. Thanks for letting us enjoy your property, it feels like a very spiritual place. We will return this week if we are invited.

3 nights at Coco The Airstream

The whole experience was wonderful. Quiet, restful and healing. Great food, great evening stars and the best company I could ask for.

The cabin has a great little deck that gets tons of sun. (And at night it makes for a good stargazing platform!)

3 nights at Victoria Forest

Nice and relaxing spot for a few days of quiet time. Outdoor shower was a bit wonky (large bag with a hose) and cumbersome but nothing too tough! The door looked like maybe a bear had tried to get in recently (which I actually think is cool, haha) and the fire pit was a nice place to relax in the cool evenings! Overall, rad spot!

Weekend Trip to Wisdom eco-preserv

Stayed in the Serentity cabin and it was so nice. It was quiet and comfy with pretty much everything you would need is provided. Comfy beds, kitchen stuff and a wood stove for keeping warm. The shower and bathroom at the main house were definitely a huge plus after a dusty summer hike. I would stay here again for sure!

Weekend Trip to BALI HUTS ON PRIVATE YUBA

Beautiful site. Peaceful, private and quiet. We strolled around and enjoyed the view from the hills. We saw quail, ducks, and a blue heron at the pond. And heard frogs and owls at night. Perfect big dipper skies. Akhi and the other farm folks were super friendly and helped us get situated.

3 nights at TerraSol~ "Earth Under the Sun"

Such a beautiful setting! Perfect for a camping/nature getaway without dozens of other campers around if you were to camp at a public site. Chris and Rebecca were so welcoming and full of local recommendations, but we still felt like we had the quiet we were looking for.

Weekend Trip to Love Creek Sanctuary!

It was a great experience at love creek. We get to relax and interact with the farm animal. Definitely a camping experience that we never had before. Host is very nice and friendly.

Weekend Trip to Love Creek Sanctuary!

This was the BEST family camping trip that we have ever experienced! The host, Shanna, was so incredibly welcoming and helpful. There are outdoor toilets as well as an indoor bathroom with a very efficient shower and plenty of light. The gracious hosts provided propane grills, complete with full propane tanks. We had fresh, filtered running water available at our campsite, which we definitely made use of. We ended up not even needing our camping chairs, as there was ample picnic table seating. The BEST part of course was the animals. We got to interact with all of them, whenever we liked. One morning, when we woke up and unzipped our tent, there was a peacock standing right outside of the flap! A kind man who lives full time on the ranch, offered us all a bucket of food to hand feed the animals with. That was our daughter's favorite part! As an additional perk, this afternoon we were able to hear one of the ranch owners playing his guitar, somewhere close by. It was beautiful to hear, and I recognized a few of my favorite songs. My family and I have EVERY intention of staying here again, in the exact same campsite (in the orchard) before winter this year. Our 8 year old daughter said that this was the best family trip yet, and we agree! Thank you Shanna and family, and a BIG shout out to Kiki the cat. Good kitty.

Weekend Trip to Moonshadow Flat Glamping Tents

We loved staying here! The campsite was clean with a comfortable bed and fan inside the tent. The tents are sturdy and durable. We had a great time exploring the surrounding area and enjoyed resting at our campsite. The site is close to lake Wildwood, Nevada City and Grass Valley. John is a great host! He is very friendly and you can tell this place is his passion. We will definitely come back!

3 nights at Butterfly Valley Yurt

This is a wonderful location! The land is peaceful and secluded. Great for a dog walk through the forest. I really appreciated the wood stove for the cold mornings and a nice hot shower. Highly recommended.

Frolic Pond Cabin

2 sites · Lodging20 acres · Grass Valley, CA

Located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills in Gold Country~ 15 min from Grass Valley, Nevada City or Colfax. There is the 'MUST SEE' yuba river nearby neavada city and grass valley, Greenhorn creek that runs into Rollins Lake very close to the property. Also the American River is another nearby beauty worth exploring. There is so much nature and beauty around our area. Frolic (property name) is a wild place with nature running the show. It is quiet and beautiful. Usually cooler because it is right on the water. The dock goes out to the 5 acre pound which is stocked with Bass. You will need to keep food inside of the Cabin/Sauna because we share the space with the animals that live here. The pond is shared with one other neighbor, so you may see other people playing on the pond or hear nearby activity through the trees. It's a great place to hang your hammock and bring a good book or birdwatch. This has been an adventure for me in Saying Yes to life and the rewarding challenges it brings. I fell in love with the huge grama oaks, the pristine pond and the feral overgrown everything. It has been a workin' progress and lots of time to pause and listen. The property is shaped like a pint glass running north to south, with a lovely bowl the pond sits in and an ancient meadow up behind the cabin. Up the hill, a hotter zone, more exposed with it's own beauty, where we live. On the occasion, one of us may come down to the pond for a swim, especially when it's too hot up top. Frolic has been a great teacher in reminding me to PLAY, relax and go with the flow. I hope you can find the same joy and rejuvenation here.

YuBarrio River Canyon Retreat

6 sites · Lodging, Tents50 acres · Nevada City, CA

Perhaps the most remarkable single thing about this land is how it is so wild while being just a short trip to lively Nevada City. Wild enough that you can look into the distance without seeing lights, listen into the distance and hear the river, and walk half the day without seeing a soul. Whether you're looking for a restful place to hunker down for days with a book or a writing project, explore the landscape for a weekend without getting back in the car, gather with your people for some outdoors adventures, or just sleep in the woods each night while taking advantage of town during the day, you'll find magic here to suit. On offer is a sanctuary nestled in a very secluded expanse of land that stretches from ridgetop to river—a private wilderness just 3 miles from strange and wonderful Nevada City, an hour from Tahoe, 1.5 hours from Sacramento and 2.5 hours from the Bay Area. Here you will find. - miles of hiking and mountain biking trails on the land - 360 degree views of the Yuba watershed with epic sunsets - a year-round creek you can walk to Surrounded by oak, madrone, pine, fir and cedar forest, we are land tenders and village builders, nestled in several hundred acres of remote public and private wilds. We are in the midst of building an intentional neighborhood, so you might come upon some of our landmates as you walk around the land. Come visit us and enjoy a truly magical getaway. As you've likely heard, California has been home to many wildfires lately. It can sometimes be smokey here during fire season. We do not offer refunds for cancellations (apart from our normal cancellation policy) due to smoke or nearby fires unless there is an evacuation order. You can check the local air quality by going to airnow dot gov and entering 95959 as the zip code. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beneath our lovely local towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City lay a nearly forgotten history and a nearly forgotten people, the Nisenan Indians. The Nisenan (pronounced nee-see-nan or nee-she-nan) are the original people of this place and their story and history is ripe for the telling. Because the gold rush seems to be the “beginning” of all current history books, we find it a perfect intersectional moment to tell the story of the people and culture who were here thousands of years before they met the gold rush head on. This is a brief introductory story of the Nisenan people. At a time when the local landscape was rich with Nisenan place names; at a time when the Nisenan people themselves were thriving and plentiful upon the land; before the coming of the California gold rush, before California even became a state, the Nisenan people had lived lives that were full of unique, cultural richness and great wealth here in their ancient homelands. They lived in ancient towns named Ostomah’, Woloyu, Wakadok, Panpakan and hundreds more. This landscape was laden with clean water, delicious food, strong medicine, pure spirit, ancient burial grounds, numerous animal species that are now gone, and was abundant with Nisenan families. Today, these ancient Nisenan towns lay beneath our modern towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley. It was unfortunate for the Nisenan that their territory would become ground zero for human greed and catastrophic changes that would soon befall them at the hands of the California gold rush. Tens of thousands of immigrants from every corner of the planet descended upon Nisenan lands to make their fortunes in the gold fields. Every tree was cut down to build the new towns and hundreds of miles of flumes, the large game herds were hunted to extinction, the natural food sources were destroyed by over population and later by cattle, and the salmon and the great rivers themselves were destroyed by hydraulic mining. Everything that the Nisenan relied on for survival was gone within the first two years of the gold rush. In addition to the environmental destruction of the land, the newly formed state of California’s own governor called for the extermination of the red race. Bounties were placed on American Indian heads. Indians were violently removed from their homes and died from murder, disease and starvation. Pockets of people survived here and there, sometimes because they had found a non-native citizen to be their champion; a champion who would be their voice and help navigate the new world for them. In the case of the Nisenan who lived within the Yuba and Bear River Watersheds, Belle Douglas was one such champion. Belle Douglas was a founding member of the Native Daughters of the Golden West (NDGW). Belle saw the abuses that were put upon the Indians and stood up to be their voice. The Nisenan could not read or write. Documents penned by Belle’s caring hand are contained within the local Nevada County Historical Society that show decades of activism on her part. It was directly because of Belle’s tenacity with the Bureau of Indian Affairs that the Nevada City Rancheria became a federally recognized reservation in 1913 via an executive order from then President Woodrow Wilson. The Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe held itself as a domestic foreign nation up until it was illegally terminated in 1964 and its reservation lands were sold at auction. Today, the surviving Nisenan families are ghosts in their own homelands. Being landless is extremely detrimental for the Tribal membership and the continuance of their culture. The Nisenan are trying very hard to raise their visibility with the non-native local community. To tell the story of this place prior to the gold rush is to give the Nisenan a spotlight on their past and a new focus on their future. Not only do the Nisenan survive today, but through all the devastation of the past, many of their old landmarks remain intact. Many of their sacred sites were destroyed during the mining devastation of the gold rush. Most of their sacred burial grounds are held by private property owners. But, a few are accessible within the parameters of both cultural districts of Nevada City and Grass Valley. *Nisenan medicine rock – Broad Street, Nevada City *Old reservation land of the Nevada City Rancheria – Cement Hill, Nevada City *Nisenan Burial Grounds – Cement Hill, Nevada City *Firehouse No.1 Museum that holds Nisenan photos, baskets and regalia – 214 Main Street, Nevada City *Nisenan Tribute Site on the Deer Creek Tribute Trail that includes interpretive signage, petroglyph art and Angkula Seo suspension bridge – Champion Mine Road, Nevada City *Numerous springs that were central to Nisenan culture – located in many places (Cement Hill, Under Sierra Nevada Hospital, etc.) *Nevada County FairGrounds is an ancient trade place for the Nisenan and place for 7-year trade events – McCourtney Road, Grass Valley *Northstar House is the site of the old Chief Weimar’s main town site – Old Auburn Hwy, Grass Valley *Loma Rica was the site of an old burial ground and Nisenan town site – Brunswick Road, Grass Valley *Empire Mine State Historic Park was the site of another Nisenan town – Empire Road, Grass Valley *Sierra College Nevada County Campus sits on another Nisenan town site – Sierra College Road, Grass Valley *Site of the Holt Brother’s Saw Mill where a war happened with the Nisenan – Old Hwy 20, Grass Valley *Oustomah was placed in the sidewalk in bronze letters to solidify the name of the Indian town that Nevada City is now on top of – Broad Street, Nevada City *The old Nevada City dump site where Chief Kelly lived is now a co-housing complex – Broad Street, Nevada City Today, in 2022, the descendants of these Nisenan people continue to fight for justice, inclusion and visibility and equally important, for the justice and rights for this land. For those visiting who have the inspiration to do so, please take a minute to imagine what this place was like before the time of great destruction and then overlay that vision where you’re standing today.

Love Creek Sanctuary!

Our camping areas are fenced from the animals but you are free to explore our 12 acres and interact with the animals during your stay here. We ask that children under 10 stay outside the animal areas and children over 10 are accompanied by a grownup. We have plenty of art and child friendly activities, just ask and we can set you up. We have a no dog policy because the chickens and birds are free ranging, unfortunately we have had several bad experiences with dogs attacking the birds and other animals. If you have a dog that has been around farm animals and is well behaved, let's talk about it. We have 5 dogs so the birds have NO FEAR of them. ---- We are a working farm - PLEASE READ----- There are donkeys, roosters, dogs and peacocks that make noise, sometimes at night and always early in the morning. Please be aware that you may hear the donkeys bray (usually lasts about 30 seconds), roosters crow, guinea fowl chirp. It is startling and will wake you up. We do our best to keep the dogs hushed but we cannot stop the donkeys, roosters and peacocks from doing their thing. If you are a light sleeper, please bring earplugs or select another wonderful Hipcamp in our area, thank you! In addition to the interesting sounds you will hear, you will encounter dirt, poop and spiders. Since we are a working farm, things get dirty. We spray all high traffic surfaces twice a day but things get dirty and when it rains it is muddy. Please plan accordingly. We are centrally located between Grass Valley and Auburn, giving you access to endless recreational activities, wineries, breweries and restaurants. We have 50 or so rescued farm animals, you can interact with our pig Hank, Mojo the goat or Teddy the alpaca. NOTE: Starting Memorial Day each year, we have replaced all of our wood fire pits with gas fire pits. We have increased our prices to help cover the costs of propane. Thank you for choosing us!

Camp Watanda at Lake Vera

9 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Nevada City, CA

FYI: We are a very small lake and experience seasonal lows towards the end of the summer. I cannot predict what the lake condition will be in August. Camp Watanda is a retired resident camp that we have converted to a vacation rental. We have 10 acres of wooded property, with the 4 camping kiosks close to the waterfront and 1 RV site on the waterfront. The camping kiosk all have 8-10 mattresses, grilling table, picnic table, cooler, smoke alarms, rake, broom and fire extinguishers. We are pet friendly with 1 dog per kiosk. Tents can be pitched on the elevated decks. Our waterfront has a large fire ring, 2-covered pergolas, canoes, kayaks, life jackets and charcoal grill. Lots of fish in the lake, since this is a private lake, no license is required. There is also a bathhouse (very primitive and in serious need of remodel) close by with 3 showers, 3 toilets and 3 sinks. Up by the lodge is a cell phone charging station and Wi-Fi, while we do have Wi-Fi, it is not guaranteed, we are in the mountains with inconsistent connection. Lodge is not available to campers as this is rented separately. No dispersed camping. RV CAMPING: Because of the steep driveway and blind curve, we limit the vehicle length to 25 overall length. Our driveway is more suitable for RV's and Camper Vans and not Travel Trailers being towed. If you rent a kiosk, all campers must be on the same kiosk unless you rent a second kiosk. If you have a camping van and plan on using the van and the kiosk, then that is a second site. You cannot tailgate on a reservation just because the party only has 2 people on the kiosk, and you have 2 in the Van to make 4 people. These are tents sites on a Kiosk, there is parking for cars or trucks at the kiosk, not suitable for RV or Travel Trailers. Those vehicles will have to park at the waterfront parking lot. There are no refunds for cancellations within 72 hours of arrival. Camp Watanda is private property, campers assume all liability for being on site. There is no lifeguard present.
