Please note: 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 If you are traveling w a bumper pull of any type you need to book Big Rig ( soon to be named Art Camp) this is our only pull through camp site all others only tiny teardrops, cassettes, tents, vans, cars, or cab overs. 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.

There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with our beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork Cosumnes river. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! In the area there are many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting! It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. We are happy to make suggestions for local hiking areas, like the Devil's Slide "Gorge" only a 15 minute drive but like a trip to mini Yosemite. The Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the our house (literally 200' away!). Our property became a pivotal point of fighting the fire in our community known as the “Ant Hill Army”. Ask us about the story!

Ludlow Hut

18mi from Kingsbury · 2 sites

Set near Lost Corner Mountain on Lake Tahoe’s west shore, Ludlow Hut is a classic Sierra Club backcountry shelter that rewards capable travelers with a true hut-in-the-woods experience and a real sense of solitude. You can drive to Ludlow Hut in summer. In winter, there is no car access—expect a challenging ~5.2-mile approach on skis or snowshoes, with approximately 1,100 ft of elevation gain from the Rubicon–McKinney trailhead area. The traditional winter route follows the summer road along McKinney Creek past Miller Lake toward Richardson Lakes. Set back from the lake and blended into the snow and trees, the hut can be difficult to spot in winter. Once you arrive, you’ll have a simple, communal base for exploring the surrounding terrain—whether you’re heading out for winter touring and snow travel or summer hiking in the high country. This is serious mountain terrain. Please use extra caution: surrounding slopes are steep, avalanche hazard can be frequent, and conditions can become dangerous quickly when weather turns. Inside the hut you’ll find: • Upstairs sleeping loft accommodating up to 15 people. • Main room with a wood-burning stove, tables, and a kitchen area. • A two-story outhouse is approximately 100 ft southeast of the hut. By booking Ludlow Hut, you’re helping support the Sierra Club’s ongoing stewardship of these historic huts so they can continue welcoming visitors for generations to come.

Weekend Trip to Flyte and Sparrow natural interlude

Stunning off grid property! Very communicative host when questions arose. As we drove out to the property, a fire started on a mountain nearby and our host assured us that we were going to be safe. Had a really cool opportunity to watch first responders fight the fire and even had a fire helicopter coming to pick up water out of the lake behind the property owners house. Stayed in the Tiny Blue and it was comfortable, but given the time of year, there wasn’t much of a breeze at night, so it did get extremely hot inside even with the windows open. Had access to a tiny kitchen and compost toilet right next to our site. We were next to a beautiful pond with a nice walking trail going around it. Saw all kinds of birds (lots of quail) muskrats, frogs, dragonflies. Very safe and welcoming place!

Host was so helpful and friendly, and provided so many things in the Pearl that helped us feel right at home. Would recommend, and definitely would go back!

1 night at Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

This place is INCREDIBLE!!! What a relief to get away from the constant noise/stress/stimuli and allow my soul to rest for a bit amongst the towering oaks, soothing sounds of the babbling river, and billions of stars at night! We so needed this! Thank you Noleen and team for the much needed escape. And the bed in the trailer is so comfy! There’s like a foam mattress that makes it better than my own bed at home! Our 9 year old daughter was able to sleep on the bunk inside and our 7 year old daughter enjoyed her crack at the foot of the bed, but she may be an anomaly…! They slept out in a tent the first night but loved the trailer so much they crashed with us the second. This place is so unreal and I’ve been telling everyone I know not to waste another moment at a public campground because this is where true restoration can happen! Can’t wait to go back!

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.

A quiet, relaxing spot …we loved sitting at the happy hour spot by the pond just outside of Tiny Blue, watching the wildlife, listening to the countless birds and bullfrogs, watching the sky. Kitchen facility & clean, composting toilet are very close to Tiny Blue as well. Enjoyed stretching our legs around the property after a long drive. Property is a short drive off I80 between Sparks & Reno but feels pleasantly remote. Thank you, Wendy!

Weekend Trip to Honey Hill Tahoe Farm

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!

Weekend Trip to Pequena Hut

We had such a fun and adventurous time at the cabin! My family loved climbing in the loft and exploring the rocks and nature around. There is a road nearby but it's barely noticeable and being able to get on the road quickly made a trip to the grocery store easier.
