2 nights at Mill Creek Resort

Highly recommended! 15-20 min drive away from lassen volcanic national park. Everything you would need is available in the cabin. Very peaceful area.

Weekend Trip to Mill Creek Resort

Very peaceful land for campsite setup with lots of trees. Restrooms were very clean with flush toilets. We had the sweetest tasting water from their potable water faucet. The cost of the campsite was reasonable. It was raining heavily from late afternoon and we didn’t have any sort of large tarp to spend our evening outside the tent so we ended up waiting in the car for a long time. It would have been great if there was some sort of shelter or community kitchen kind of area where people can cook and spend time on the days when it’s raining. Would definitely recommend this campsite on sunny days

Weekend Trip to Mill Creek Resort

We had a great two-night stay in the vintage camper van! It rained a lot Saturday night, but the van kept us dry and warm. Very effective space heater! It was stocked with many great amenities like various cookware, a kettle, a French press, etc. We were able to cook some delicious meals in the van. There was no wine opener or hand soap, however. There were multiple sets of sheets and pillowcases, so that felt clean and organized. We didn't get a chance to use the outdoor cooking supplies because of the rain, but that was nice to have! The camper ceiling is a bit low, so if you are taller (6'1 and above), be mindful of your head. The showers take quarters, so plan accordingly if you want to use them. Overall, a cozy stay!

4 nights at Little House in the Big Woods

This place was easy to find and SO CUTE! I wanted a little getaway to just chill by sun trees, and this was a great spot for that. I really enjoyed working on a puzzle with a hot tea, and cozied up by the space heater. The only thing is I think you have to request that the fridge gets turned on before you stay, and I didn't think to. It was cool, though, because I already planned to eat out and I just kept my water in there. Lol! The shower also works great, and I really enjoyed the little salt lamp.

1 night at Private Retreat Ranch Getaway !

This land is absolutely beautiful and gorgeous views over the field. Sydney and Jim are very friendly and welcoming hosts! We loved that we were able to shower here and even enjoy a fire! Definitely recommend, just make sure you go through the right gate!! I made that mistake lol.

2 nights at Peter's Forest Vacation Rentals

Pretty campground. Staff was very accommodating. We practically had the place to ourselves. Worked well for a home base for Lassen.

Weekend Trip to Peter's Forest Vacation Rentals

It was a great spot for kids near Lassen National park.

3 nights at Fenders Ferry Cabin

The cabin was really nice for our family. Clean, comfortable and quiet location. Great getaway!

Weekend Trip to Peter's Forest Vacation Rentals

The cabin was cozy and warm and made for a comfortable stay on a cold spring night. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating and I bet this place would be loads of fun with a big group in the summertime. Beware that Google Maps sent us to the next road down, but if you follow the signs the campground is easy to find.

Weekend Trip to Walker Mine Campground

Beautiful, spacious, and private site! We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. It was easy to get to and the space was prepared for us thoughtfully. A fire pit was setup for us on arrival. Was very happy to have the amenities of a water host, fire ring, trash cans, picnic table, toilet, and plenty of firewood. It was very quiet and peaceful with lots of passing sounds of birds around. Could not have asked for a better weekend getaway. Lots of trees and clear skies for us to gaze at day/night. Host was responsive and very kind. Even offered to mail a dog toy we accidentally left behind.

Weekend Trip to Tambo Ranch Tiny House Village

As much as I’d love to keep this place to myself, I have to echo everyone’s enthusiasm and love for this site. My partner & I came for a Valentine’s getaway and we stayed in the smaller tiny home. We arrived later in the evening, but directions were easy to follow and the site was well lit with fairy lights which was such a nice touch. Upon arrival, we were greeted with fresh muffins, eggs from the farm, and a cute little sign. There’s a queen bed at the loft, a full kitchen, and a nice seating area equipped with a TV. It had everything we needed to cook our meals and enjoy mornings in. A personal bonus: everything was so incredibly clean & I can’t stress this enough! You can definitely tell a lot of care and thought was put into the home to make it as comfortable as possible. The larger property is beautiful to walk through & it’s what we ended up spending our days doing. There are 3 different sites to stay at on the property - each for different needs and with their own appeals. There are chickens, an alpaca, sheep, cats, and a dog on property & they’re all so friendly! Carolyn & Julio really made the trip for us - they’re such amazing & accommodating hosts. They gave us the space we needed, but were still easily accessible for any questions we had. This was my first time ever doing a stay outside of a major city, and this stay made me want to do this again & again. We’ll definitely make this an annual thing! :-)

Weekend Trip to Tambo Ranch Tiny House Village

This place was absolutely perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. Gorgeous property, fantastic owners, excellent amenities, and a great location, rural enough to feel close to nature but close enough to cities like Chico to enjoy urban delights. Owners were generous, accommodating, and very kind. Plus the animals were very nice.

We bought this stay as a gift for my mom and she was absolutely gushing about it when she got home. She told us about all the beautiful touches, the tea, the flowers, and what a thoughtful and beautiful space the tiny house was. She said she felt steeped in rest the entire time, and loved connecting with the hosts as well. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Tambo Ranch Tiny House Village

My wife & I were looking for a quick weekend getaway to work on some financials & planning for the upcoming year. We wanted it to be quiet, close to Sacramento w/WiFi availability & this checked all our boxes! The drive there was easy & scenic. The owner’s directions were accurate & easy to read for when you arrive on the property. We stayed in the Acreage Tiny home & boy was it a good choice! It rained 24/7 w/high winds, but the tiny home was a dream to be in. The home is very well built, clean, insulated, kept us warm, cozy, & protected from wind the whole time. The bed was super comfortable, the heater worked like a charm, & the full bathroom had strong hot & cold water. We were able to cook all our meals using the electric hotplate & enjoy our coffee/tea by warming up the water w/the kettle provided. The owners left homemade muffins on our arrival. I had to stop myself from eating them all in one day! Absolutely delicious! Make sure to take them up on the carton of eggs that can be pre-ordered. Unfortunately, since it rained the whole time, we were unable to explore the property, but what we could see from our tiny home was beautiful! You can tell the owners take pride in their land. The landscaping was clean & immaculate! The cats plus one dog that roam the property are cute, friendly, & always a joy to run into. Technically this was a business trip for us, but it felt like a vacation & we will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Carolyn and Julio for your hospitality!

Great little spot. Right next to a tiny home & a cabin. Very quiet when no one else was there. RV was a great size & was stocked with all the comforts of home. Loved being able to have my furballs join me!!! They were very comfy. Would stay again.

2 nights at Tambo Ranch Tiny House Village

We had a lovely stay! The mini fridge was pre-stocked with some fresh eggs and apple crumble muffins (not sure but they were delicious!) The property is gorgeous and there are cute sheep, a llama, chickens and outdoor cats. The living space is ample and has all the essentials, plus heating in the chilly winter evenings!

Glamping in Northern California guide

Overview

Running parallel down the state are Northern California’s two arteries of outdoor adventure—the coast and the mountains. Glamping opportunities abound, providing a touch of comfort and even luxury in the form of canvas tents, domes, tiny houses, and treehouses (perfect for a trip to the Redwood forests near Eureka). Along the coast, the terrain alternates between dramatic headlands, crescent beaches, and more redwoods, all begging to be explored on foot, bike, or surfboard (a wetsuit is a must). Just inland, vineyards dot the rolling hills in Sonoma, Napa, and Carmel valleys, where the bottle you pick up at a winery will taste amazing on the deck of your bell tent. Further east, the foothills of the Sierra Nevada offer rafting on the Yuba River and woodsy domes and yurts. Due to cold and snowy Winters, high-altitude destinations like Lake Tahoe, Mt. Shasta, Yosemite National Park, and Mammoth Lakes don’t have as many glamping options.
