We have listings ranging from yurts to shipping containers, an old water tower converted to a vintage trailer and canvas tents. We are based in between the middle fork of the Yuba river right where it meets up with Oregon Creek. If you like a long walk it is 2.5 miles down the dirt road to Oregon Creek and the middle fork of the Yuba. Driving takes 5 to 10 mins. The other direction is the largest lake in our county Bullards Bar Reservoir and Emerald Cove Marina. We are 1 mile down Marysville Rd. from a launch called dark day.

On our property, we have a main house with its own private facilities such as a kitchen, shower, and bath. On the land, we have 9 total unique cabin and canvas tent structures converted into boutique-like campsites. We have an epic outdoor entertaining kitchen and patio with an outdoor pizza oven and a little dog rinse behind the outdoor shower. The bathhouse is right across the way and provides a private but shared guest shower house, tub and sink. Like anywhere in the woods there is an hour at sunset when you may have mosquitoes down near the sites in the spring and some of the summers depending on the year. We have a natural spray for that or fans in the kitchen. Off the path, you may find poison oak in the thick of the woods. So please stay on the marked trails.

Weekend Trip to Sierra Sol Camp

The most unique hipcamp I've ever been! So much to do and so much to see, we had tons of fun! Main cabin is extremely comfty, equipped with everything you need. Deja is super friendly and flexible to our last min change, truly appreciate the flexibility. Oh, did I mention Deja's hipcamp is only 10 mins away from Oregon Creek? We spent whole day there it's so beautiful. It's perfect in every way, we will definitely come back.

Communal kitchen and bar open till 10 on school nights:)

Weekend Trip to Sierra Sol Camp

Deja's property was just awesome. Lovely site with plenty of room to cook and hangout with friends and family. We stayed in the main cabin and it was so spacious and had plenty of room and more. We will for sure return!

Weekend Trip to Sierra Sol Camp

Surrounded by so much green, bumble bees, hummingbirds and so much more. It is beautifully designed giving it an artistic rustic glamping feel. It is magical. Loved the outdoor shower, enjoyed soaking in the outdoor tubs and using the sauna. The outdoor communal kitchen was a fun place to get to know your neighbors or great for groups! It was well stocked with all the equipment you would need. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Beautiful place! I highly recommend this stay. Even better than pictured, it has all the amenities you need for the perfect "glamping" escape. Super quick access to the river and hiking trails. It would also be an amazing venue for a group gathering or retreat. Will definitely return!
