Are you ready to unplug from the world and recharge in nature? This newly built two bedroom, two bath log cabin will help you do just that. You’ll reconnect with love ones since the cabin has NO WIFI but does have a wood burning stove and miles of trails to walk on just outside of the front door. The cabin is conveniently located just minutes from the north entrance of Lassen National Park. For entertainment, I have a TV (no cable)/DVD player with a selection of movies, board games, and reading material including a few books and magazines. There is timber land at the back of the property with plenty of trails to walk or ride a mountain bike (if you bring one). Lassen National Park is a short drive away. Also nearby is lake McCumber. I have a wood burning stove inside that you can use for a fire. Absolutely NO FIRES outside. There is a fire ban in effect, thank you for your cooperation and understanding. I have a propane BBQ outside that you can use, along with a picnic bench and other outside seating. I will provide a selection of tea, hot coco, coffee and oatmeal to get your day started. Be sure to bring food with you since the nearest grocery story is about 9 miles away. I will provide a basket of firewood to use during your stay, but it's a good idea to bring extra since it will go fast. Because you're in the forest, there is limited cell reception so please plan accordingly. I've found that Verizon has some signal while AT&T has none. Since it's meant to get away from it all, not having cell service might be a good thing. :) The master bedroom is on the entire loft floor so there isn't a lock or door that separates the main area downstairs. Just so you're aware. There is a door and lock on the guest bedroom downstairs. All you'll need to bring are your personal items, food for your stay, and extra firewood! Once booked, I will send more helpful tips and information for your stay a week prior to your check in date. Dogs - I allow dogs because I believe they are part of the family, but please notify me if you intend to bring your dog prior to your stay. If there is high wind in the forecast, the electric company, PG&E may turn the power off for safety reasons. They usually notify me a day in advance and I will let you know right away, but I wanted you to know that it might be a possibility during your stay. For Winter Guests: A 4 wheel drive vehicle or car with chains is HIGHLY recommended to travel to the cabin. The main road is paved but there will be snow/ice in the area. The driveway is a slight uphill and is not paved. Please be prepared for snow. ***Approved Shasta County Short Term Rental Permit #STR 20-0013***

Red Bluff camping guide

Where to go

Woodson Bridge State Recreation Area

Woodson Bridge State Recreation Area is only about a half-hour south of Red Bluff, offering reservable campsites for tents, trailers, and RVs up to 31 feet in length. Covered in oak forest, the area is home to the yellow-billed cuckoo in summer and the bald eagle in winter. It also sits alongside the Sacramento River and has a boat launch for easy access to fishing, boating, and water sports. With hot showers, flush toilets, and picnic areas, the park’s on-site campground is comfortably equipped for small or large groups.

Lassen Volcanic National Park

For an otherworldly experience, explore the volcanic landscapes and geothermal features of Lassen Volcanic National Park. Steam and volcanic-gas vents called fumaroles can be found around many areas of the park. Big Boiler is the biggest of the bunch. Be careful, as steam temperatures can exceed 300°F. There are seven campgrounds in the park, including RV sites, group campsites, and even stock corrals for camping with pack animals. Next to the park is Lassen National Forest with campgrounds of its own as well as the renowned Subway Cave—a self-guided underground trail through a lava tube.

Shasta-Trinity National Forest

California’s largest national forest, Shasta-Trinity spans over two-million acres and features over 6,000 miles of rivers and streams. Towering above the forest is Mount Shasta, rising to an elevation of 14,179 feet. Rock climbing and mountaineering are popular activities here, but reaching the summit of the prominent volcano is only for the most experienced of climbers. Both primitive and more developed campgrounds are available, including cabin rentals, RV camping, and dispersed camping for a quieter stay with fewer modern amenities.

When to go

Summer is the most popular time of year to go camping near Red Bluff. It is also the driest time of year for the region, with daytime temperatures ranging into the 100s. Summer is also the peak season for mosquitoes and other insects, especially near bodies of water. For milder temperatures, fewer insects, and less crowds, springtime may be preferable. The melting snow leads to more active waterfalls, and some of the biggest steelhead trout can be caught in February and March.
