We love to pass our free time here in the sunshine and juniper drafts overlooking the Sierras. Some days we watch the electric storms across the valley, other afternoons we picnic and nap while listening to the birds and wind. We love the peace and silence, which feels remarkably remote and only 20 minutes from Reno.

Camping here is low activity experience as in there is hiking up in the National Forest or just hanging out in your camp site, or bring your camera, notebook and binoculars, or road bike.
When you come to camp here you are on a farm in transition. Girlfarm has been a local food go to for restaurants, farm family members, and regenerative agriculture interests. Today, the farm is looking forward to a new course in agri tourism as we begin planning walking gardens, art installations in the landscape, and interactive classes.
If you would like fresh veggies contact Prema Farm one day BEFORE arrival -

We are looking for a seasonal self contained camper to do campground maintenance and upkeep. trade Only NO PETS SELF CONTAINED and background check
Its been a huge water season so SKEETERS are around we also recommend tents have a rain fly and ground cloth.
Welcome
It was important to choose a partner like Hipcamp to invite like minded individuals who respect both the natural environment and the idea of less is more.
At any time you may encounter farming activities, building out of tiny houses, gardens in the process of creation, snakes, bugs, ticks, and wild animals.
As we move toward offering the land as a place to both find solitude or chosen participation our Flyte and Sparrow experience will hopefully be a place you will want to return to as your own tradition.

Campfire Ranch Lost Trail is a private lodge tucked into Coldstream Canyon outside Truckee — a quiet, secluded basecamp for Tahoe trips when you’d rather skip the lake crowds and come home to privacy, no neighbors, and a real meal on the table.
This isn’t a lakefront rental, and we don’t try to be. Lost Trail is for groups that want the “tucked-away Tahoe” experience: woods, trails, fireplace nights, warm rooms, hot showers, and the feeling that you actually disappeared for a minute.
Three ways to stay:
• East Wing (up to 6)
• West Wing (up to 6)
• Whole Lodge (up to 12)
All-inclusive meals (included in the nightly rate):
Travel light: we’ll do the cooking. Share dietary restrictions/preferences in your booking notes so we can plan ahead.
What’s included:
• Arrival day: afternoon snack, dinner, dessert
• Each full day: breakfast, afternoon snack, dinner, dessert
• Departure day: breakfast
• Alcohol: BYOB
Privacy + hosting
Your host/chef is on-site the entire stay (in separate sleeping quarters — not in your lodge space). You’ll have full privacy, with real support when you need it.
Getting here (summer):
Summer access is by vehicle, but it’s a mountain approach. AWD/4WD required. It’s roughly a 4-mile drive on county roads to reach the property, and we’ll confirm your vehicle + how to get here in your pre-arrival messages.
Winter note (important):
In winter, this becomes a remote backcountry lodge with a mandatory ~4-mile over-snow approach via skis/splitboard with skins or snowshoes.
Pets:
Up to 2 pets are welcome. Pets may not be left unattended; pet food isn’t included.

With the help of my Father Steve, Sandy Gibson built the House of Gibson in 1983/1984. We are on one acre with an orchard, trees, and a pond. My parents (Steve and Sandy) passed in 2021; We are currently busy with restoring the property.
Our neighborhood is safe and quiet. Drop in and stay for a spell...

Campfire Ranch All-Inclusive Lodge
19. Campfire Ranch All-Inclusive Lodge
30mi from Carson City · 3 sites
Campfire Ranch Lost Trail is a private lodge tucked into Coldstream Canyon outside Truckee — a quiet, secluded basecamp for Tahoe trips when you’d rather skip the lake crowds and come home to privacy, no neighbors, and a real meal on the table.
This isn’t a lakefront rental, and we don’t try to be. Lost Trail is for groups that want the “tucked-away Tahoe” experience: woods, trails, fireplace nights, warm rooms, hot showers, and the feeling that you actually disappeared for a minute.
Three ways to stay:
• East Wing (up to 6)
• West Wing (up to 6)
• Whole Lodge (up to 12)
All-inclusive meals (included in the nightly rate):
Travel light: we’ll do the cooking. Share dietary restrictions/preferences in your booking notes so we can plan ahead.
What’s included:
• Arrival day: afternoon snack, dinner, dessert
• Each full day: breakfast, afternoon snack, dinner, dessert
• Departure day: breakfast
• Alcohol: BYOB
Privacy + hosting
Your host/chef is on-site the entire stay (in separate sleeping quarters — not in your lodge space). You’ll have full privacy, with real support when you need it.
Getting here (summer):
Summer access is by vehicle, but it’s a mountain approach. AWD/4WD required. It’s roughly a 4-mile drive on county roads to reach the property, and we’ll confirm your vehicle + how to get here in your pre-arrival messages.
Winter note (important):
In winter, this becomes a remote backcountry lodge with a mandatory ~4-mile over-snow approach via skis/splitboard with skins or snowshoes.
Pets:
Up to 2 pets are welcome. Pets may not be left unattended; pet food isn’t included.

This was such a lovely, unique, beautiful, and tranquil spot. We didn’t see anyone else the whole time we were there. We were greeted by a family of wild horses on our first morning. Such a great spot! We will be back!

Hard to beat the price and convenience of this site. Plus it's quiet and in a pretty area to boot. It was easy to find and communicate with our very helpful and friendly host.

The camp host came out to meet each arriving party and guide them to their spot (as most of us rolled in after dark). Later she started a bonfire, and for the next couple of hours folks congregated in small groups talking about where they had been and where they were going. Very enjoyable social experience.
Cooking facilities were excellent. They are outdoor, but it does not often rain here. Wind was moderate the night I was there. Two bathrooms (flush toilets and running water) quite close to the campsites.

The tent site was perfect; it was very peaceful, with wonderful views in all directions. Wendy was super and offered to get us extra wood for the fire since the wood on site was a bit moist from recent rain. We would definitely camp here again!

Small space, but adequate. The bathrooms, however, we're on another level! The water pressure was to die for, and the facilities & amenaties (club house, common area, etc) were awesome as well.
Will stay here again.

Pinenut’s land was excluded, surrounded by a creek and the stars in the evening were Incredible! The owner met us when we arrived introduced us to their family and shared the history of the land and how it all came to be.
We were welcomed with real hospitality, which was wonderful to experience during our specific time traveling the west. Ample wood, how water shower and grill with cooking tools provided.
The fire pit was the best, we were looking for an all night fire, and were able to have one. The space we stayed felt comfortable and safe, as if we were in a sphere of our own world.
The owners had a table , chairs and bell tent available. I enjoyed the friendly encounter, and helpful check in from the owner, and made sure we had everything we needed. I do know that I’ll be back to connect with the land as it’s all been blessed up after our stay. I recommend this spot for a couple wanting a cool experience, I can only imagine how beautiful it will be in spring time.
We stayed in October, the fire kept us warm.
The fire pit was the main highlight for us. Felt welcomed to be there, Pinenut land has great history and a good spot to have a sacred experience being under the stars and the beauty of the creek flowing at night. 10/10.

We loved our stay at Christina's land. It was easy to find with the directions Christina sent us and the campsite set up was great. We were on a long road trip so this was the perfect spot to stop for the night before we continued on. The views were incredible - we lucked out in having amazing clouds during the day, a great sunset and beautiful star gazing at night, couldn't have asked for more! It was very private, we never saw anyone other than some kayakers passing by, but it also felt very safe. It got very windy at night so be prepared for that and the beach down at the lake is very rocky but a great place to explore. We'd definitely come again!
