Once in a lifetime opportunity to live in the woods, experience nature and tune out. A true artist retreat. Write your new songs, a novel, a script, or a love letter here. Paint, crochet, create a masterpiece here. Quiet and secluded, surrounded by nature. This remote, off the grid cabin is neatly set at the base of a wooded canyon with beautiful views of the mountains.

It is only accessible by walking/hiking 1/4 mile down a service road from the main driveway. You will need to have have a 4x4 to get to the cabin. We prefer a small jeep or ATV.

An outdoor kitchen includes a sink with well water (cold only) and a 2-burner propane stove. A solar power system provides basic electricity.

Amazing location! The campsite even had wifi in the middle of the mountains haha! We booked during a rainstorm and still were very comfortable with our canopy over the entrance of our tent. Thank you so much!

3 nights at Holiday RV Park

Holiday RV Park offers so much. I was greeted by a staff member that had me follow him to my site. He assisted me in backing my RV perfectly into the site. The bathroom and showers are clean and heated. My grandchildren and my self enjoyed the pool and spa. Lots of swim toys for the kids and floats for adults. They offer outdoor sinks, which helped me with more space cleaning dishes. The office staff is so awesome, friendly and helpful.

Excellent location right on the creek. Quiet, we were the only ones there. Short 15 min hike to Big Falls trailhead which is a great trail to a waterfall the kids had a lot of fun at. Cabana was great for all three of us to sleep, hot shower, bathroom.

Weekend Trip to UpperLopez Creek Camp

We crossed the creek 13 times (I think😊) while we were driving towards Varonica's place hidden deep in the wilderness. We saw deer, a bear, domestic pigs and dogs on the way. Getting there was a true adventure! Trout Corner was just what we wanted: an isolated place surrounded by nature. The soothing sound of the creek right next to the campsite was so relaxing to hear all night. Our dog loved running into the creek, and he was happy to sniff around without his leash. We didn't even set up our tent, we just used the canopy that was already there. There's an outlet with electricity. Bring an extension cord and you can have electricity inside the tent.

Weekend Trip to UpperLopez Creek Camp

We booked Trout Corner for 4th of July weekend and it was lovely! Host was friendly and responsive. The space was super nice and we could hear the creek the whole time. There a lot of little gnat flies but they don’t bite and once you light your fire they disperse. The spot is super close to the Big Falls Trail, which is a beautiful hike! Fair warning: the post says you don’t need 4x4 wheel drive but I would highly recommend 4x4 wheel drive. At least a car that has some clearance as you do have to drive through shallow parts of the creek. Overall, we enjoyed the privacy, nature, and the relaxing atmosphere! Would definitely book again!
