Weekend Trip to The Retreat on Big Grizzly Creek
This is a really great spot and we enjoyed our stay! We enjoyed the roaring creek next to us and hearing the water as we went to sleep and upon wake up! The tent was well built, felt cozy and secure. The propane heater provided was a MUST as we stayed mid-Oct and the nights were cold outside. It heated it up very quickly and we had to turn it down while we slept it got so toasty. While there are 2 options for parking, if we weren't able to park where we did (closer to the tent), it would have made for more difficult logistics. We just barely were able to get our full-sized truck backed down the path (between the posts) in order to park close to the tent. In muddy weather this might have been more challenging. FYI - you need to have some pretty decent backing up and maneuvering skills to back down through the gate, esp if you have a full sized truck like we did. We did navigate to this spot at night which was a bit challenging in the dark but everything worked out well. This is a nice, secluded and peaceful spot!

Our first time using hip camp and camping in this area. We have a pop-up trailer and two dogs. The hosts are wonderful. The bathroom is spacious and clean with good water pressure. People respected the quiet hours. There were lots of trees and shade. We left for the majority of the day and nothing that was left outside or inside our trailer was touched. We would stay here again.

Peaceful, quiet spot backing up to open space and a historic barn. Loved looking out over the grassland at about sunset. Electricity, sewer, and water are all available. Love the well behaved dog.

We had a great stay at Mimi’s! Our dog loved playing with Indie. Indie was so kind, well-trained and respectful. Mimi was very helpful upon arrival. The outdoor set up and yard was beautiful . We stayed for 2 night as we were making a visit to Burney falls. After a full day out it was nice to come back to our RV with the full hook-ups. Would recommend and hope to visit again in the future!

The spot is at the end of a driveway next to her house and backyard. The view of the field, barn, and water are beautiful and it was very peaceful. Having hookups was a convenient bonus. Mimi was warm and welcoming, and we really enjoyed chatting with her about the area and her background and travels. Her dog, Indy, is amazing, and our son loved playing fetch with him in the mornings and evenings (as far as he was concerned, Indy was the highlight of the trip). The location is right by Lake Almanour and 40 minutes from Lassen Visitor Center; while we found it more convenient to camp inside Lassen to see the park, if you don't plan to spend all your time in the park (and even if you do), it's a great option. In fact, we loved Mimi's and missed it as soon as we relocated to the Manzanita Campground. We can't recommend it enough!

Perfect little campsite! My 4 year old loved it. Beautiful spot and great to fall asleep to the sound of the gurgling creek.

Mimi is an excellent host and generally great person to converse with, but she’s also good about giving guests personal space if desired. The site was level with an electric hookup and waste dump. While it’s essentially in her side yard, we were free to use the deck and yard, especially to toss balls to her border collie. We also faced a huge land trust meadow and 1800’s barn with a distant view of the lake. Overall, a wonderful experience!

We had a great experience on our recent camping trip! Pamela, our host, was incredibly helpful and kind throughout our stay. She gave very clear instructions, which made everything easy to follow. Even though we arrived quite late due to the holiday traffic, she was extremely patient and accommodating. Her warm hospitality really made a difference and set the tone for a relaxing getaway.

3 nights at The Retreat on Big Grizzly Creek
My husband and I had such a beautiful stay at Dan’s property! We loved how private it was and enjoyed a romantic holiday weekend! We loved all the thoughtful touches around camp including the tent and bathroom! It perfectly fit our needs and we can’t wait to return to take in the spectacular views another time! We enjoyed the drive to the camp as well and feel that it would be fun to bring our kids and their dog next time! We loved the creek and took and dip and fished a little as well! We can tell that they put love into what they do and we are looking forward to the next time we get to stay again!

Mimi is a delightful person and the site was lovely… right on a large meadow w/ a view of the lake. We spent hours chatting with her, watching the baby birds in her many birdhouses, and walking around the quiet and peaceful meadow.

Wonderful stay! We had a very relaxing evening having dinner on the porch and watching the sun set, the lake, and all the birds in their houses. Easy access to all hookups, good directions, and very well maintained accommodation.

Mimi's Hideaway is lovely, and so is Mimi! After selling our cabin years ago, we had a wonderful time reconnecting with Chester, CA. We walked to the North Fork of the Feather River, rode our bikes down First to Lake Almanor, and walked the meadow each morning and evening. Our dog was in frisbee heaven, but was a little jealous of Indy - Mimi's well-mannered/behaved Border Collie. Indy was so tolerant of his grumpiness! Mimi has created a peaceful, relaxing spot adjacent to her home. She and her neighbors are friendly and welcoming. I will be back! Oh, and that freshly squeezed orange juice was delicious. Thank you, Mimi, for sharing your little bit of Chester beauty. It was such a pleasure getting to know you.

Great spot with a thoughtful setup! It was cooler down in the canyon by the creek than elsewhere in the area, which was nice when it started getting hotter! We decided to use the heater the second night and it warmed up the tent FAST, even on the lowest setting. We had to turn it off after 5 minutes not to overheat! Not as buggy as I'd assumed, given how close it is to the water (still a bit, but that's nature, folks!). The outhouse, lights, and dining table setup are all well thought out and nicely done. There is a trek up and down the hill from the car, so be warned if you might struggle on a very short but steep hill with loose dirt, but it was fine for us. I think we'll probably come back!

What a slice of heaven on earth this enchanting glampsite was! My husband, toddler and I enjoyed our stay so much and it was a nice break not to have to set up our own tent/toilet. The sound of the creek was absolutely heavenly and made this site especially tranquil. We appreciated the excitement directions given to get here, comfortable bed set up to sleep on, and convenient saw dust toilet with the provided bags/sawdust.
