Campfire Ranch All-Inclusive Lodge
2. Campfire Ranch All-Inclusive Lodge
33mi from Virginia 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.

The best glamping sites near Virginia City with wifi provided guide
Where to go
Chollar Mine
Chollar Mine represents one of the richest silver strikes in U.S. history. A leading mine on the Comstock, it was first worked back in 1859 and produced more than $17 million in silver and gold throughout its active history. Today, campers can take a day trip to the mine and enjoy tours with special exhibits that show how early miners operated the site. Nearby RV parks and private campgrounds give campers of all kinds a convenient spot to rest as many include restrooms and showers.
Lake Tahoe-Nevada State Park
Less than an hour’s drive from Virginia City, Lake Tahoe-Nevada State Park is popular for its beaches, lake activities, and winter sports. Enjoy boating, hiking, bird watching, and mountain biking in warmer months. During winter, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, and snowboarding remain favorite pastimes. The best places for fishing in the park are Zephyr Cove or nearby Rubicon Point, and hikers will want to check out Flume Trail for its great views. The park and surrounding area feature campsites and RV parks with basic amenities like electricity and water hookups. Private winter chalet rentals are also available for cozy fireside retreats after a day of skiing.
Dayton State Park
With its views of Carson River, Dayton State Park is a well-known destination for hiking and fishing. The park is just a 20-minute drive from Virginia City. Its 10 on-site campgrounds are available for RVs or tent camping and many of the campsites offer dump stations, restrooms and BBQs.
