We have lived on the farm now for over 21 years. The back part of the property was a stop point for the stage line between Oroville and Bangor during the 1880, Then gold was discovered on the property. There were multiple Gold claims on this property. The Old rock pilings are still there to explore. It is a favorite spot for finding Jasper, some Agates and quartz. Campers are welcome year-round to this tent site on the old Gold Claim of our 20-acre family farm! Drive right up to this fun-filled, family-friendly campsite, easily accessible by cars and SUVs alike - though 4WD is helpful during the rainy season. This site features two seasonal streams that cross on the property, as well as bushes full of ripe blackberries - if you catch them at the right time, help yourself. You'll enjoy hearing the birds echoing through the trees and could easily see deer tip toeing through the woods. Dogs on leash only. We raise 4H and FFA show and market goats, llamas, and a donkey and a cow, all of whom are very friendly! You'll also see our chickens, ducks, peacocks, and guinea hens. Rock pilings are on the island between the two seasonal streams that cross our land. Gold panning, hiking and creek walking is available on the property. Campers are welcome to stargaze in the field, create scavenger hunts for the kids, or simply sit back and enjoy the tranquility. The streams dry up in late June and fill up in November when the rains start. Trank Family Farm is 30 minutes from Lake Oroville, 20 minutes from Oroville Wildlife Area and the Feather River - great for kayaking, swimming, and fishing! Be sure to check out the trails and seasonal waterfalls at Table Mountain, 35 minutes away. There are 2 Indian Casinos & Hotels in Oroville, as well as 2 golf ranges - and all with in 20 minutes of the camp site. The college town of Chico is about 30 minutes outside of Oroville.

Camp in the midst of oaks and granite near the middle fork and north fork Consume river. With water and power you just need to bring your own hose and extension cord. Some spots have both so check in first. This property has great energy! Spend all day at the river to avoid the heat or use the sprinklers at the property and cool off under the oaks. Read a book in the hammock. Enjoy!

*\\_PRIVATE SOUTH YUBA BEACHES_//* En bref, It's like a mini state park. An epic 400ac property with access to 1.2 mile of private South Yuba River frontage. Endless deep swimming holes and beaches and jumping rocks in one of the most dramatic stretch of the wild and scenic South Yuba canyon. 6 miles of roads on the property to hike, bike on so bring your Mtn bike and explore this magical property. With 900 feet elevation change throughout the land makes for very dramatic views but makes for an exerting 30min hike down the canyon so not appropriate for people with low mobility. Come prepared for a rugged but exclusive experience. When it's to busy at the Bridgeport state parks, keep going 2 miles and come here. This really is a Yuba lover's Shangri-La. Stay in one of our 3 teak wood Bali huts, bring your Sprinter van or pitch a tent in one our our numerous scattered camping spots by the big meadow. This is dry camping so bring water and your kitchen. A porta party is provided near the yurt. Be mindful of poison oak and please dive 10mph on the gravel road to keep dust down for my neighbors and enjoy the only privets south yuba river access in Hipcamp responsibly. Pack out what you lack in and absolutely no open fire on the property. Propane grill are fine. If you’re adventurous minded this doesn’t disappoint.

Weekend Trip to BALI HUTS ON PRIVATE YUBA

I came to get away from a busy city life and to celebrate opening a restaurant. This property allowed me to completely disconnect, center and ground myself. As much as a wanted to get away from people and the world I soon realized that what I needed was to meet some truly amazing people who aligned with my core values on nature and passion. Akhi, Borro and Aldo were beyond warm and welcoming to us. They made us feel like family and I soon looked forward to bumping into them. He mentions this place to be Shangri-La and that is spot on the most perfect description of our experience on their land. Surrounded by rugged nature and wildlife with a trail walk to crystal clear sanctuary of river full of adventure and exploration. I stumbled upon this site and now am making it my regular space to recharge.

We had a fabulous time at Akhi’s place by the Yuba. It’s about a 25 min walk down to the water (pretty steep) and once you are down there it is breathtaking!! Crystal clear water which was pretty warm and very refreshing on a hot day. Perfect spot for a trip. Worth the price, we look forward to coming back again ☺️

1 night at BALI HUTS ON PRIVATE YUBA

This hipcamp was easy to get to and yet off the beaten path and we enjoyed exploring the secluded stretch of the yuba river that was private . Staying in the Bali hut was a fun experience felt more like glamping . The workers on the land welcomed us so kindly.

Weekend Trip to BALI HUTS ON PRIVATE YUBA

Absolutely magical! This Hipcamp strikes the perfect balance between comfort and an authentic outdoor experience. We stayed in Hut #3, a clean, serene Bali hut overlooking wildflowers, a pond, and open prairie. With screened windows and a sliding glass door, the hut felt cozy and comfortable—yet still natural and unpolished enough to keep us fully immersed in nature and connected to the outdoors. Our two dogs roamed freely and even made friends with Akhi’s sweet dog, Sheba. Akhi and his team were incredible from start to finish—warm, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our stay special. They even welcomed our late 10pm arrival with someone waiting to guide us to our hut and make sure we were settled. The land itself is breathtaking. A scenic, moderately rugged trail leads to a stunning river canyon, surrounded by untouched natural beauty. It’s a dream for hikers, runners, or anyone wanting to unplug. There’s even a zipline for dropping into a swim hole once the water warms up! What truly makes this place unforgettable is its story. Akhi once worked on this land for the previous owner. When the owner aged and had no heirs, Akhi offered to buy it. In a fairytale twist, the owner agreed and let Akhi “work off” the land. Years of dedication turned this dream into reality—and you can feel that heart and care throughout the property. Highly, highly recommend. This place is a gem that lets you feel both cared for and completely connected to nature.
