Trinity Outpost Wilderness is a private campground that is committed to the land-sharing ethos of Hipcamp preserving ecology and defending habitat for wildlife and pollinators. The mineral springs and trails are open to the public during the daytime. We also host with WWOOF, we have many cultural exchange volunteers helping us bring life back to this historic land building an organic farm and sustainable community. Campground is yours to book but is also surrounded by National Forest Land which belongs to everyone. We expect zero exceptions to the leave no trace standards we have put forward for our private land share.
Fall asleep stargazing under a dark sky, surrounded by trees, water and wildlife. Wake up to birds chirping then a 10 min hike to visit the Cold mineral springs bubbling out of the mountainside, attracting many types of wildlife along with people seeking out the healing properties of the sulfur scented spring water.
Sacred healing mineral spring "Deadshot" named by the native peoples for its ability to cure all ailments with 'one shot'. Nipisum or 'health water' was later bottled by the California Medicinal Springs Co. after the land was homesteaded in 1886. This historic retreat rests at the foot of lower Chanchelulla 'black rock' Mountain.
Bordering a Wilderness Area this land is pristine and wild inhabited by many animals and incredible bio-diversity such as Pileated Woodpeckers, Golden Eagle, Bald Eagle, Blackhawk, Goshawk, Great Horned Owl, Flying Squirrel, Pacific King Snake, Salamanders and Protected Spawning Rainbow Trout.
100+ acres with private hiking trails along the stream for easy trekking, and summit trails (climbing up to almost 6,000 ft.) to the peak.
Our aim is to restore the land from the last 100 years of habitation using innovation to renovate the campground and baths for the next 100 years. With your help we hope to revitalize the community of Trinity County, as well as educate and generate support for WILDERNESS, public forest lands and the agencies that manage them.

- Authentic wood cabin with a beautiful loft
- Stone hearth fireplace
- Hand-crafted mortise-and-tenon banister and railing
- Remodeled bathroom with custom tile
- Classic clawfoot soaking tub
- Chinkapin oak countertop
- Unique electrified wood sink
- Cozy, soulful, and unlike anything mass-produced
The cabin sits beyond a bridge and opens into a magnificent 20-acre meadow, giving a sense of arrival that feels almost cinematic.
🌿 The Land
- 80 acres of total seclusion
- Old apple orchard
- Natural meadow with spring ponds
- ¼ mile of private Hayfork Creek frontage
- Swimming holes, sandy beach area, and creekside fire pit

If you’re looking for cell service, bright city lights, and hotel convenience — this is not your place.
If you’re looking for true solitude, wild California beauty, and an experience that feels like stepping back in time — welcome home.
Tucked away on 80 private acres, this authentic off-grid cabin sits beside Hayfork Creek, surrounded by old apple orchards, spring-fed meadows, swimming holes, and some of the most untouched wilderness in Northern California.
🔥 Off-Grid Living (Important to Read)

Generator great for filling the clawfoot tub with strong water pressure, charging batteries when solar is limited. Propane used for the stove, refrigerator, and hot water heater (pilot light may need to be lit — instructions provided).
Guests should be comfortable starting a generator and lighting a pilot light. Clear instructions are provided, and everything is straightforward.
🏡The Cabin:
Built in the 1980s with care and craftsmanship, the cabin is rustic, warm, and full of character:
- Authentic wood cabin with a beautiful loft
- Stone hearth fireplace
- Hand-crafted mortise-and-tenon banister and railing
- Remodeled bathroom with custom tile
- Classic clawfoot soaking tub
- Chinkapin oak countertop
- Unique electrified wood sink
- Cozy, soulful, and unlike anything mass-produced
The cabin sits beyond a bridge and opens into a magnificent 20-acre meadow, giving a sense of arrival that feels almost cinematic.
🌿 The Land
- 80 acres of total seclusion
- Old apple orchard
- Natural meadow with spring ponds
- ¼ mile of private Hayfork Creek frontage
- Swimming holes, sandy beach area, and creekside fire pit
- Additional fire pit near the cabin

Tammy was very helpful and she had a maintenance guy. There is only one pig and one goat, but it was still pretty cool.
The bathrooms were clean and they have a dumpster on site. There was a bit of road noise and a weird siren, but overall, I would definitely stay here again.

The camp sites were very well kept. The night time camp host was just the nicest lady that way above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. We showed up after hours, but she greeted us anyway and opened the store for us so we could get supplies and fire wood. The manager or owner came to greet us the following morning and was also very kind and friendly. We couldn't give a higher praise to Bigfoot Lodging. 2 thumbs up

Spent just under two weeks in the Airstream as a solo traveler and it was perfect.
Location was great - 5 minutes to things in Paradise, 20-30 minutes to things in Chico. Property was wonderful. Beautifully landscaped and tended. Lovely places to sit. Dogs and cats are friendly and chickens, sheep, and alpaca are fun to have around.
The trailer was wonderful. Well appointed and nice to have the equivalent of a separate full-sized couch to hang out on while reading.
Hosts were lovely. Very communicative, responsive, and welcoming.
I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

BigFoot Lodging campground is a beautiful little hidden gem. With healthy tall pinetrees there is shade and beauty at each site. Sites are wide with plenty of room for a tent if someone in your crew doesn't want to sleep in the RV (our daughter!). Picnic table at each site. Fire pits, although there are no grates over the fire pits in case you wanted to cook that way. GORGEOUS little waterfall 5 min walk from the camping sites. Helpful hosts. Small store with all those little things you forgot. Firewood available for $10 per bundle, cheaper than the convenience store or the dollar store in Shingletown. It's just a really pretty little campground that we will definitely be returning to!

2 nights at Tambo Ranch Tiny House Village
This was the perfect place to take a day or two and just relax. The tiny house had just enough kitchen that for a short stay you didn’t need to go out unless you wanted to. It was impressively efficient. I did bring a cooler because I like cold beverages, but the small fridge would be enough for the yogurts and cheese I brought with for my 2 night stay.
I had a nice time playing with the kittens, Caspian the dog, (who dutifully slept on my porch) and exploring the property.
The bed downstairs was very comfortable and it was nice falling asleep to the sounds of nature outside. 10/10 recommend!
