Sis-Q Ranch was named by Jan's Grandmother as it is a short way of saying Siskiyou, the name of our county.

Sis Q Ranch

If you are a hiker or biker (pedal or gas), kayaker, quiet time reader or anyone wanting to get away from city lights and noise (we do have occasional farm machinery noise) you'd love visiting us in Scott Valley, Siskiyou County, true Northern California! Sis-Q Ranch is a small working ranch that is 9 miles from our nearest town of Fort Jones (Population 660). We have limited tent space that is shaded most of the day with access to tiled bathrooms and hot showers. It is filled with wild birds surrounded by hundreds of agricultural acreage. Wildlife of cougar, bear, coyote, bobcat, raccoon, skunk, etc are our local neighbors. We are quiet, secluded, and off the beaten path. We are family & pet friendly. Our night sky has been rated as the darkest possible providing an absolutely clear view of our universe! Come watch the Space Station on some evenings!!!! We even offer free firewood for a campfire, though there is no grate for cooking! 

Sis-Q Ranch is located in the mythical State of Jefferson. If you love the outdoors, you can hike the beautiful Marble Mountain Wilderness, explore forest trails on your mountain bike, or cycle the historic roads and byways of Scott Valley. Swimming is offered on the Scott River a few miles from the Ranch or at smaller streams nearby. 

If you love history, Scott Valley has opportunities to learn more about the Old West. Our Valley was formerly known as Beaver Valley, and played an important role during the settlement of the West. Fort Jones was a military establishment, and the entire area was very active during the Gold Rush. Many historic sites are found in and around the local communities of Fort Jones, Greenview, Etna, and Callahan. The Fort Jones Museum holds a lot of information about our two local native American tribes: the Shasta and Karuk. It is also famous for its fabulous collection of rocks and minerals.

There is a large community fire pit in the center of the main lawn for late night hang-outs!

Looking toward the sunset out through the entrance to the Ranch.

Tom and Jan can give directions to a beautiful swimming hole about 5 miles down the road from the Ranch

Tom and Jan Ball set aside two acres to create a small animal sanctuary populated by various birds and critters.

The sunrise over the main barn was a great morning view.

The horses at Sis Q are corralled north of the main house. We walked over in the morning and said hello!

On the local tribal land the swimming/watering hole is an awesome trip you have to go see! Only about 5 miles up the road and like a whole other world!

The swimming hole has a waterfall which can double as a slide for the adventurous!

Juniper Spur Ranch

Welcome to Juniper Spur Ranch!  Directions:  GPS Juniper Valley Spur....this is a short culdesac road with a road sign at the entrance off Juniper Valley Drive.  There is a green pipe rail gate at the end.  This gate has a combination lock.  You will receive the current combination code 2 days before your arrival.   If you are turning onto a dirt road without a sign....you are on the wrong road.  Juniper Valley Spur is my short culdesac road with a green pipe rail gate at the end. 

We have 3 RV sites available for campers to book. Please note that we do not have RV hookups for any of the sites. You will be parking on loose gravel and the sites are flat. We can accommodate most RVs/trailers, if you are uncertain about the size just send me a message.

There is a portapotty in the hay barn cleaned regularly and a water spigot for non-potable water uses or for a quick outdoor shower with a handheld spritzer. It is not enclosed so you will need to be discreet. 

Pets are allowed at campsites #2 and #3 only. These campsites are farthest from the horses and dogs. Please keep dogs on leash at all times. 

Our property offers a beautiful view of Mount Shasta. Nature lovers, extreme sports enthusiasts, family vacationers and retirees, can all enjoy the vast recreational opportunities this area has to offer.

Lake Siskiyou is about 20 miles south and offers a wonderful 7-mile hiking trail around the entire lake. Bring your horses too. I have a couple of electric-fenced paddocks for visitors.
