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.

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.
Learn more about this land:
We would love to share our 12 junipered acres with nature enthusiasts like ourselves. Bring your tent or camper and spend afternoons watching beautiful sunsets and wildlife from our land. Spectacular expansive views across the valley to the Sierras and Mount Rose. Conveniently 15 minutes from South Reno (40 minutes from North Lake Tahoe), the silence and absolute privacy here are restorative and replenishing. We do not have trash collection services available and we ask all guest to practice a “leave no trace” philosophy.

Unique and peaceful Lost Sierra retreat within feet of Big Grizzly Creek. 5 minutes from Lake Davis. Minutes from Grizzly Ranch Golf Club. 1 hour from Reno, and 2.5 hours from Sacramento.
Nestled among towering trees and serene natural surroundings, The Retreat at Big Grizzly Creek is a tranquil haven located within feet of a gently flowing creek. As you enter the campsite, the refreshing sound of water trickling over smooth rocks immediately captures your attention, creating a symphony of nature's melodies.
The Retreat is located within minutes of the small railroad town of Portola, CA, 5 minutes from the boat launch at Lake Davis, and a couple of minutes from the public golf course, Grizzly Ranch. The property the campsite is on is over 3 acres with the creek being the western border. The property has numerous overlooks of the creek and surrounding fauna with a short hike. Currently, I am building a trail and a sitting area over the most perfect view atop a rock outcropping, perfect for sipping coffee in the morning or beer. No judgment here! We have big plans for this little piece of the earth we own and are excited the share it with you.

LAKE DAVIS, CA. Welcome to my little slice of heaven at Lake Davis, CA. Tucked into an aspen grove with a seasonal creek, this peaceful campground offers upgraded RV and tent sites designed for comfort and relaxation. Each site has sun sails, outdoor seating, picnic tables, and fire pits—everything you need to settle in and unwind. Including a brand new bathroom with sink and toilet! (See pics)
You’ll also have access to my barn hangout, where you can play games, enjoy the bar area, or just escape the sun for a bit. Cornhole, hammocks, wildlife watching, and mountain breezes are all part of the experience.
I'm only 1 1/2 miles from Lake Davis and the boat ramp, with endless opportunities for fishing, hiking, paddle boarding, off‑roading, and even a nearby golf course.
It’s clean, secure, quiet, and family‑friendly. I love sharing this place, and I can’t wait to welcome you.

There is only one spot available at our property to reserve as we leave our trailer up there for most of the summer. The good news is you will have the place all to yourselves unless we happen to be there which is not very often and we will let you know if we overlap. This spot has a 30 amp RV plug and a sewer connection. There is no water or trash service so please bring your own water and practice pack in/pack out practices. This spot is for RV's only with a full restroom as we don't have restroom facilities onsite. This is a very quiet spot but does have a few neighbors within earshot so if you are planning on a party spot or having loud music this is not the spot for you. There is a large smoker/BBQ that is not maintained but is available for your use if you want, we have used it several times and it works great. There is also a firepit to use when fire season permits. We are only 4 miles from Graeagle, which is a great little town to explore and eat some ice cream in the park. There are many great lakes to explore in the immediate area including Lake Davis, Gold Lake, Upper Salmon Lake, and of course upper and lower sardine which are my favorites.

It is on this property that I saw my first grouse.
Also look for warblers-notably Audubon's and the Hermit Warblers- along with the White-headed Woodpecker.
You will likely hear a Pileated Woodpecker and if you are lucky you will see one
Learn more about this land:
Welcome to Sugarpine Slopes. The Sugarpine has the longest cones in the world and many birds and mammals like the pine nuts and use the tree for habitat. This is a spring through fall place only. There is no winter access. The property is at 5800 feet. Depending on the weather the road may close from Nov 15th to May 15th.
The road on the property is a dirt road. All wheel drive or 4WD vehicles recommended although the lower section could be accessed by most vehicles. Shorter trailers allowed at Site A. Site 3 can also accommodate a small teardrop-style trailer
The property is totally undeveloped at this time. It is a wildlife corridor for deer and bear (keep all food contained), the mountain quail and the blue grouse. Keep your eyes open for the Hermit Warbler, Audubon's Warbler, and our gorgeous visitor from the tropics the Western Tanager. You are likely to hear the Pileated Woodpecker and if you are lucky you will see it and its red crest in an undulating flight through the trees. The property has a lovely west facing slope which climbs gradually at first then more steeply to the top of the property. We have drive-in camping on the lower section. There is one walk-in site at the top of the property.
There is wonderful hiking nearby with several trailheads in the area within approximately 4 miles.

We embraced a new adventure a few years ago by purchasing 22 acres of raw land in the beautiful Tahoe National Forest. Starting from acquiring our first tractor to building roads and trails, we have nurtured this land into a thriving farm featuring a bee apiary, along with dogs, barn cats, and chickens. Our forever home, nestled up the hillside, reflects our commitment to this lifestyle. To share our passion and offer a unique experience, we have also renovated a vintage Airstream trailer as a cozy guest retreat. Whatever your adventure, we are here to provide an authentic, relaxed, and memorable experience in this stunning natural setting.

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!

My friend and I (and my two dogs) had the most amazing time staying at the Pearl. The location was perfection with Tahoe national forest surrounding the spot (big trees and a stream you drive next to get to the Pearl). 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!

The spot was affordable and perfect for what I needed. Very pretty setting and quiet except for one brief song by some nearby coyotes. Roosters didn’t start crowing until after 7 am.

This was an awesome stay! Took me a bit to find the campsite but host was very responsive and friendly. First time using Hipcamp to book a spot. I was solo with my dog and felt safe. You’re out on a ranch and there are only two sites so it can feel a bit remote but there was one other person with their dog. Woke up to some coyotes having dinner and star gazed.

Brian is such a great host! He met us at our campsite and made sure we knew where everything was and gave us recommendations for sightseeing and dining. We drove twelve mile's to the Avenue of the Giants one day and around 40 miles to Shelter Cove. Both were great! I would highly recommend Shelter Cove for the black sand beach and seal and sea lion watching. The camp ground is very well kept with a porta potty and hot shower. We sat outside in the evening and watched deer and wild turkeys nearby. Very peaceful and quiet at night. Thanks Brian for your hospitality. This might be our favorite Hipcamp yet!
