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.

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!

This is the most incredible property, with the most incredible host! A peaceful sanctuary that allows one to get back in alignment with their own self in a lovely natural setting. I HIGHLY recommend for women on a healing journey, artists and writers needing to clear out blocks, or spiritual seekers in need of some sanctuary! This place has all the "magicalness" of Sedona & Mt. Shasta! A yearly visit is now on my calendar in order to give myself a much needed retreat!
Camping at Willow woods was beautiful and private and I loved watching the Beavers, Owls, and Hawks. I also stayed at Tiny Blue, which was so comfortable, had beautiful views, and lots of cool outdoor sitting areas. The tiny kitchen had everything I needed and gave me the luxury of staying for an entire week! You can tell that Wendy loves being a host and believes in the sanctity of what she has created here, and it's reflected in every detail of the property itself and within her personal enthusiasm! This truly is a "choose your own adventure" experience!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars!

This was a lovely spot, and Wendy responded quickly to my questions. It was very quiet at night and the sounds of the animals was so relaxing. It was close to the hwy, but far enough away to not hear it! I would definitely recommend it as a great overnight hiatus!!

This is the second time I’ve camped on Wendy’s land. It is perfect for a quick stopover, but I could also hang out there all day. It’s beautiful, quiet, the stars are amazing, and I felt safe camping there by myself. It is a perfect basecamp for visiting Tahoe and Pyramid Lake nearby. Thank you Wendy for sharing this beautiful place with us guests!

Me and my group really enjoyed staying on Wendy’s land. The directions to the site were clear, but definitely was helpful to get there during the day—probably would have gotten lost otherwise. The late arrival site we stayed at was well kept and clean. There are cute farm animals we enjoyed looking at, but we think we might have heard some coyotes close by during the night so it’s good to be mindful of that! Overall a really cute spot to stay if you’re just passing through!:)
