1 night at Rollins Lake Retreats Decorated 🎄
What a treat this retreat is. While you are under the host family, they are not like those upstairs neighbors that you despise. I heard them, but it didn’t disrupt my peace and presence. I enjoyed the 420 friendly atmosphere outside on the lovely deck. The sunset was ridiculous and a whole family of deer walked by. I was able to cook a full breakfast getting creature with the stove. The host even helped me when using a hairdryer with the fireplace tripped a breaker. It waste too, and they responded quickly. Also got to check out late with an additional cost while I was theee. I truly loved it here. Will def come back. Once I checked in, I didn’t leave until check out.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the dome glamping site at Rollins Lake in Colfax. From the start, our host Erin was fantastic. Communication was prompt and friendly, and the directions were incredibly clear, making arrival stress free. The amenities exceeded our expectations, and everything was thoughtfully provided, from snacks to all the little details that made the stay feel special.
The dome itself was spotless and beautifully set up. The bathroom was great, the bedding was extremely comfortable, and the views were truly incredible. Waking up surrounded by nature was unforgettable. We loved how close it was to the lake, with an easy and scenic hike down for a relaxing walk and time by the water.
This stay was the perfect mix of comfort and outdoor adventure. We are already planning our next trip back and cannot recommend this place enough. A truly special experience from start to finish.

Group trip
I had an incredibly rejuvenating time at the Scotts Dear Lodge! Krysten went out of her way with little gestures to make the space feel clean, comfortable, and inviting. A home away from home, if you will. It was also incredible waking up with a cup of coffee while it snowed outside! The kitchen was fully stocked with all the supplies you would need to prepare a nice home-cooked meal for yourself, and the wood-burning stove was also a highlight! I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a trip for a small family, couples, or solo adventurers! Don't miss out on this charming spot

2 nights at Foothills Yurt Glamping
2nd time at this place and loved it! We’ve now stayed there in the summer and the winter and it was great both trips. This time it poured outside and the interior was still well heated and comfy to be in. We were amazed at how it was still incredibly clean and showed little signs of any wear from the last trip, so the hosts definitely keep it in great shape. Looking forward to coming back for a 3rd trip!

Weekend Trip to Rollins Lake Retreats Decorated 🎄
This place was huge, cozy, and so cool. There were vintage guitars, lots of rock and roll posters, a cool playboy pinball machine, and incredible views. Unfortunately we couldn’t get the machine to work after plugging it in. The king bed was very comfortable and they had a nice heater in the living room. It was a challenge to get up to the house because of the steep driveway. It was raining. The key is to keep going, don’t stop. We were in a truck so it was manageable. This place is 420 friendly so it did smell like it in the place which wasn’t a big deal. Neither of us smoke but we didn’t mind the subtle smell. The only issue we had was with the coffee maker—it leaked all over the shelf and didn’t dispense through the coffee pod.

The owner has a beautiful hidden gem on top of the hill in Aburn ca we woke the next day to sunshine, trees, and a picturesque view! The neighborhood is quiet and everyone is nice as can be. The owner is accommodating and down to earth. Our stay needlessly to say was relaxing and stress-free to say the least.

Our second visit and the accommodations were even nicer than last. We enjoyed viewing the rural landscape from the cozy bed. The room had everything we needed including coffee, mugs, and a microwave. The town of Lincoln is slow paced and friendly. A soak in the hot tub was so relaxing. Great weekend getaway.

Weekend Trip to Serene Country Paradise
Loved our stay! Kelly was incredibly welcoming. We spent most of our time in the pool and had a beautiful evening grilling and enjoying the view. The drive in is pretty long but very scenic. We stopped at a flower farm on the way home and also saw some breweries and wineries we want to check out next time.

Where to go
Auburn
The historic heart of the California Gold Country, Auburn sits at the edge of the American River canyon where both forks of the river cut through dramatic gorge terrain. Most campers use it as a base for rafting, mountain biking, and hiking in the Auburn State Recreation Area. The town itself has solid gear shops and restaurants — useful if you're staging a longer Sierra trip.
Colfax
A smaller foothill town at roughly 2,400 feet, Colfax gives access to national forest camping along the Bear River and upper American River drainages. The elevation keeps temperatures more manageable in summer compared to Auburn. Less visited than the Tahoe corridor, it's a reasonable choice if you want dispersed camping without the competition.
Kings Beach
Kings Beach lines the north shore of Lake Tahoe with a broad sandy beach that gets genuinely warm in summer — by Tahoe standards, anyway. It's more laid-back than South Lake Tahoe, with a working-class character despite the prime real estate. State beach camping nearby books far in advance for July and August.
Lake Tahoe
The north and west shores of Lake Tahoe within Placer County include some of the most scenic waterfront camping in the Sierra. The lake sits at 6,225 feet and stays cold enough to require a wetsuit for extended swimming even in August. Campgrounds fill early — D.L. Bliss and Emerald Bay are in adjacent El Dorado County, but Sugar Pine Point and Tahoe State Recreation Area are nearby. Shoulder season in September and October offers the same scenery with far fewer people and surprisingly warm days.
Auburn State Recreation Area
The Auburn State Recreation Area covers 42,000 acres of canyon land along the north and middle forks of the American River, making it a large and popular recreation area in the state parks system. Primitive camping is available along the river corridors, and the trail network sees more mountain bikers and trail runners than casual hikers. Spring through early summer is the prime season, when the river is running and temperatures haven't yet peaked.
When to go
The best camping window in Placer County runs from late April through October, though the county's elevation range means different zones peak at different times. The Tahoe basin is best July through September, with July and August drawing the largest crowds. The lower foothill zone around Auburn is more comfortable in April–June and again in September–October, when triple-digit valley heat hasn't reached this high. Winters close many Tahoe campgrounds and bring significant snow above 5,000 feet.
Spring (March–May)
The foothills green up fast after winter rains, and the American River runs high and cold through April — prime season for whitewater. Temperatures in Auburn typically reach the mid-60s in April, climbing into the low 80s by May. Snow lingers at Tahoe elevations through April; Kings Beach campgrounds typically open in late May.
Summer (June–August)
Tahoe campgrounds hit their stride in July, with highs in the 70s and clear days topping 90% of the month. Down in Auburn, summer runs genuinely hot — highs regularly hit the low-to-mid 90s in July and August, which pushes most camping activity to morning and evening. The entire county is bone dry: July sees essentially no precipitation.
Fall (September–November)
September and October are arguably the best months to camp in Placer County. Tahoe campgrounds clear out after Labor Day but stay open through mid-October, with daytime highs in the mid-60s and clear skies over 80% of the time. Auburn cools down to pleasant hiking weather. The first significant rains usually arrive in November.
Winter (December–February)
Most high-elevation campgrounds close by November, but winter opens up Tahoe for a different kind of trip — ski camping and snowshoeing exist in the backcountry, and some lower-elevation sites near Auburn stay accessible. Temperatures in the foothill zone drop to lows in the low 30s and highs in the mid-50s most of the time. Snow at Tahoe can be heavy; check road conditions before heading up on CA-89 or I-80.
