Come celebrate nature and art with us! Ravens Landing is a unique piece of property. We are an off-grid forever building artist space, saddled in between two big mountains, that sits on top of a valley with breathtaking views. Ravens Landing burnt down in 2015 and since then, I and many friends and artists have been rebuilding using recycled lumber and various objects that survived the fires. Today I am so humbly proud to facilitate a space for artists, musicians, nature lovers, off the grid fanatics and more! Come explore the beautiful oak and manzanita forests. Relax and take in the fresh air. Spend quality time with our animals, drive off to the cold running creek, take a workshop or relax in a sound journey. This is our Home, so please visit with an open mind, open heart, and most of all Respect. Everyone is always welcome here. KID POLICY: *Must keep an eye on your children at all times. You are responsible for them! *Children must be comfortable and respectful around animals. *Kids fill this space with their amazing energy so please make sure you account for them in your reservation.

Please inform during booking there will be kids in your party, possibly we can reserve a site closer to amenities. MORE INFO: All campers get access to our hand built cob kitchen and the epic dining hall deck. There is a communal gas fire pit and BBQ. It’s a very sunny property so please bring a canopy for shade if you want it over your campsite, remember to bring stakes, it can be windy here. *Water is gold here so make every drop count, arrive with water conservation in mind. And please bring your own drinking water=) *We are off-grid with no amenities from the city so please be mindful of how much trash you’ll leave behind.

You reach our four acre property after a stunning drive along a scenic highway. In the winter and spring everything is blanketed in green that gives way to wildflowers and golden hills in the summer. We are located two miles from the Lake Oroville Lime Saddle launch ramp where you can find spots to swim or launch your boat for a fun day at the lake. Hiking trails and a variety of outdoor activities are available nearby. Table Mountain State recreation area, a great place to view wildflowers and waterfalls in the spring, is five miles away. Take a drive up highway 70 along the Scenic Feather River and view the lake as well as the majesty of the canyon. We are just 15 - 20 minutes from towns in three directions so restaurants, museums and shopping are all within an easy drive. At the top of our property you will find a grass volleyball court, and a batting cage to keep you busy while you are at your campsite. Other outdoor games are also available. The views of the valley at sunset are spectacular. The lower portion of our property is home to a seasonal creek that supports wild blackberry bushes as well as other wild plants and flowers. The property is home to numerous trees as well. The blackberries are usually ripe for a couple of weeks from late June to early July and are delicious. The wild grapes usually ripen in September. Obviously I can't control when the fruit ripens, but you are welcome to help yourself if it is ripe when you are visiting. We have 4 large sites with full hook ups as well as space for smaller trailers if you are traveling as a group and need some extra space. The blackberries have thorns. The area is rural so naturally we have wildlife, including bears, bobcats, mountain lions, deer and rattlesnakes. While we rarely see any of our furry friends you should be aware that they do wander through from time to time. We also have dogs. They have collars to keep them away from your space, but if you wander the property be aware they do too. We are located on the corner of Pentz / Highway 70. They are not busy roads, particularly in the evening, but they do have a fair amount of traffic in the daytime. Overall the area is very quiet and peaceful. Please help us respect our neighbors by abiding by quiet hours.

Stax & Summer’s Off-Grid Haven

9. Stax & Summer’s Off-Grid Haven

48mi from Willows · 3 sites · Lodging · Brownsville, CA
Stax & Summer’s Off-Grid Haven 14 acres of raw land up in the foothills near Brownsville/Oregon House — solar well, oak and manzanita trees, a bunch of mellow animals, I’ve lived here over a decade, mostly off-grid, and the land's still unfolding. There’s a couple donkeys, some goats, a small flock of chickens and quail, two super chill dogs (Stax and Summer Grass), and a cat Mike. All friendly, all part of the rhythm. If you're cool with animals, you’ll love it. If you’re not, maybe skip it. You can park your trailer, post up in your rig, or camp under the trees. Bring what you need, and make yourself at home. There’s space to be left alone, make some art, dig in the dirt, fix a few things, or just sit in it. If you’re solid and grounded, we can talk trade — especially if I’m off the property and need eyes on the crew. Could turn into something longer. Could just be a stop on your way. Water’s good. Solar runs the well. No power plugs unless you’ve got your own. Cell service is spotty unless you know where to stand. No tweakers. No drama — and not the fake kind.

Stax & Summer’s Off-Grid Haven

9. Stax & Summer’s Off-Grid Haven

48mi from Willows · 3 sites · Lodging · Brownsville, CA
Stax & Summer’s Off-Grid Haven 14 acres of raw land up in the foothills near Brownsville/Oregon House — solar well, oak and manzanita trees, a bunch of mellow animals, I’ve lived here over a decade, mostly off-grid, and the land's still unfolding. There’s a couple donkeys, some goats, a small flock of chickens and quail, two super chill dogs (Stax and Summer Grass), and a cat Mike. All friendly, all part of the rhythm. If you're cool with animals, you’ll love it. If you’re not, maybe skip it. You can park your trailer, post up in your rig, or camp under the trees. Bring what you need, and make yourself at home. There’s space to be left alone, make some art, dig in the dirt, fix a few things, or just sit in it. If you’re solid and grounded, we can talk trade — especially if I’m off the property and need eyes on the crew. Could turn into something longer. Could just be a stop on your way. Water’s good. Solar runs the well. No power plugs unless you’ve got your own. Cell service is spotty unless you know where to stand. No tweakers. No drama — and not the fake kind.
