We have two 'Overnighter' sites these are instant book for weary travelers and not meant as full on camping sites. Site 1 and site 2 or Antelope please refrain from booking unless you are traveling through -
All other camp sites require a minimum of 24 hours notice this allows for getting the sites ready - so if you want to camp here please note this requirement

Bobcat is great for tents, cars, vans, small trucks, no bumper pulls
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 -
Please come visit in April May and June it is some of the most green and lush times in the high desert. It can also bring snow, winds, and rain. Be prepared- look at the forecast and contact me directly if you have concerns
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.

2 nights at Bright Bear Camp in Tahoe NF
I've camped a lot of places. If I could give it a hundred stars I would!
Turn off the pavement and follow a dirt road into the forest. Past meadows and a creek that open up out of nowhere. You start wondering if you've gone too far, and then the road bends and there's Pearl, an Airstream under tall pines. Full shade. String lights over a picnic table.
The whole site swept clean, like someone cared about it.
I sat in the car for a second before getting out. It was that amazing!
This was my puppy Sasha's first camping trip, and my first in years. She got out, made one lap around the site, and laid down in the pine needles like she'd been coming here for years. That was the moment I knew this would be a memory of a lifetime.
Pearl is small but perfect. Queen bed with a window that looks straight into the trees, so you wake up to forest and nothing else. Little kitchen, stove, dinette, bathroom. Hot shower just outside. It was immaculate. Kelly set out a refrigerator and a propane fire ring for me. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Five minutes down the road is South Fork Emerald Pools. Fuller Lake. And Bowman Lake, one of the most beautiful alpine lakes in the Sierra, practically to myself. No crowds anywhere.
Then there's Kelly. She notices what you need before you ask. She stopped by the fire the last night and we chatted about how she built this place.
Sasha's ready to go back. So am I.

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying here! The property is beautiful, incredibly comfortable, and Tod and Amy have taken the time to make the space very peaceful. The accommodations were spotless, and they provided everything we could possibly need for a perfect getaway. Tod and Amy are really welcoming and even shared some delicious treats with us. Their dogs, Blizzard and Stella, were also so sweet.
We loved walking the property with our own dog and really enjoyed learning more about the bees, visiting the greenhouses, and saying hi to the chickens.
The location is a huge plus! You are completely out in nature with all the privacy, and yet it is an easy 15 to 20 minute drive to Downtown Truckee. From there, we easily explored the area for rafting, hiking, Donner Lake, and Lake Tahoe. Everything is a very convenient drive away. Highly recommend staying here!

Our birthday weekend getaway was everything we could have hoped for. My partner and I were looking for a peaceful escape that felt completely secluded from the rest of the world, and this place exceeded every expectation.
We brought our two dogs, and they had the best time exploring and playing in the creek—they absolutely loved every minute of our stay. Dan did an incredible job making the space feel cozy, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together.
To make the trip even more unforgettable, my partner proposed on our very first day there, making this beautiful place one we’ll always cherish. The directions were incredibly easy to follow, and the rock lookout was such a fun bonus with amazing views.
The outhouse was surprisingly clean and comfortable, and bathing in the creek was one of our favorite experiences. The cold water was such a refreshing shock and left us feeling completely rejuvenated afterward.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better weekend and can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you, Dan, for creating such a special getaway—we’ll always remember it.

Such a great place to get away from the world without being that far from it! Fun little cabin that's well stocked and still has all the creature comforts. It provided me the perfect balance of a "camping" feel but with the necessities for the folks in my party that aren't great campers. We came in the summer but this is one of those places that I'd love to be hunkered down in during a big Truckee snow storm.

My three young boys, our dog, and I just got back from a truly unforgettable trip! This spot is an absolute gem, nestled in a really pretty valley that feels secluded and peaceful. It’s an incredible spot that you simply cannot miss.
We had an amazing time playing in the creek, and the boys spent hours splashing around, racing their homemade boats, and playing hide-and-go seek in the surrounding woods. There are great hiking trails right nearby that were perfect for exploring together. In the evenings, we had the best time cooking dinner in the well-appointed cabin, and of course, roasting marshmallows under the stars. It's really nice having the option to either camp outside in a tent, or enjoy the comfortable and cozy cabin. The boys are already asking when we can go back.
This was the perfect escape. If you’re looking for a beautiful and family-friendly outdoor adventure, this is it!

Our stay at Lena's Landing was wonderful and made even more special by Anett and her beautiful property. The rustic tiny cabin was so cozy, with a comfortable loft bed. We loved looking out over the property and watching the dogs, goats, and horses roam freely. The peaceful setting was absolutely beautiful. We stayed here because it was recommended by a family friend and it exceeded every expectation. We were in town for a local bike race and only stayed one night, but it was the perfect place to rest after a long day of racing. What truly made our stay unforgettable was Anett. She is an incredibly kind, thoughtful, and welcoming host who genuinely cares about her guests. She made us feel right at home. We are so grateful for our stay and cannot wait to return. Next time, we plan to stay longer so we can enjoy more of the property.

Weekend Trip to Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
Anett was an outstanding host! We enjoyed our stay in Lena’s cabin and honestly slept so incredibly well. We wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was very clean and our stay included having access to: utensils, cooking pans, ground coffee, a french press, playing cards, propane stove top, a grill, a fire pit, a solar shower, the views of the meadows, stars and an opportunity to meet some of the farm animals (dogs, horses and Sully the goat). Thank you Anett for being such a very hospitable host & we look forward to coming to visit again soon ! 💚🌷
