The best ranch camping near McArthur

·

In McArthur, ranch camping means waking up to big sky, open fields, and the quiet hum of working land. With over 40 ranch stays, you’ll find tent pitches tucked beside creeks, sheltered near groves, and set on wide, rolling grassland. Most sites allow campfires, offer showers, and welcome pets. You’ll pay an average of $45 per night, with some spots dipping as low as $15. Out here, snow sports, wildlife-watching, and hiking are the main draw—so pack layers and good boots. Local favorites include Camp Stoney Meadows (165 reviews), Kosk Creek Campgrounds (83 reviews), and Cascade Arc Camping (77 reviews). Bring sturdy gear—McArthur’s ranches are about space, fresh air, and getting your boots dirty.

Our 220 remote acres are adjacent to Shasta Trinity National Forest in the beautiful Cascade Range between Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta in Northern California. It's a working ranch with tree farms, animals, hydroelectric power, sawmill, gardens, orchards, creeks, springs, trails, and our camp alongside Kosk Creek. We're 54 miles from Redding off of 299E, (about 1-1/2 hour drive). DO NOT TAKE ROAD 11 FROM THE NORTH, IT IS CLOSED! PIease try to ignore the "car art" in the Pit River Tribe's Rancheria as you're coming here. Drive right through it, it's no reflection on us. The last mile or so of the road here can be pretty rough, but on arrival, you'll know it's worth the trip! No Cell phone service available here, so it's the perfect opportunity to unplug. We do have a land line up at the house in case of an emergency. Also, if you really need it, WiFi is available at the house.

From an old hydraulic mill, to an apple farm with a cider press, to a Wilderness Recovery Center for at-risk youth, our property has seen many great eras. After being neglected for over 20 years, we are trying to resurrect it to its full glory and incorporate the past into our property's future. Come stay on 192 epic acres of land now used as our home, and your perfect vacation location.
