Stay here, leave refreshed!
Shannon is the friendliest, most accommodating, and clear communicating host I’ve ever interacted with. The campsite is exactly as pictured, rain or shine it’s worth it. It’s by the highway but still quiet. There are benches to eat and sit at, and the main spot has a fire pit and two chairs. We loved our stay, felt totally safe, and there’s a little town just 10 minutes down the road if you need anything. It’s far enough that you still feel remote, but close enough to be convenient. Highly recommend this campsite!

The sites were nice and well maintained, as were the water source and toilet. Very convenient and the host was super attentive to make sure I was comfy and lacked nothing. A pleasant experience all around.

Shannon was so quick to reply to my booking and gave excellent directions for getting to her place. An absolutely beautiful spot to wake up in! And I was able to take my dog for a walk along the stream in the morning before heading out.

Very secluded, almost too much.
Lovely secluded campsite. A little further away from the coast than I would have preferred.

What a great experience. The site was lovely and clean, and large enough to have plenty of space between us and other campers. Shannon was super friendly and easy to communicate with. The entrance was a bit tricky to find, but after passing it the first time, we found it on our second pass. It was just the kind of Hipcamp experience we were hoping for.

This was a beautiful place to camp and very peaceful! Great amenities for it being a primitive site and the host is very friendly and helpful! Swimming hole was freezing but fun, and sites were dispersed and great for privacy.

Love it
Second trip here and I’m more in love then before! Shannon is an absolute amazing host! Goes above and beyond each time. Of course our first day the temps were up but the last two days were gorgeous. The moon was full and a slight breeze. For sure recommend to anyone!

Very Enjoyable Space
What a great experience! Less than a minute from a state highway but still very private. Lots of nooks and crannies to explore, a beautiful stream, lovely mountain views. Considerate hosts provide portapotties, fresh drinking water, fire circles, and picnic tables. All sites appear to be pull through with easy access for RV's and tow behinds. My spouse spent the day hiking and exploring and I arrived later. The flat, prepared campsites made set up a breeze so our time was spent walking around and cooking dinner to the sounds of a few owls hooting back and forth. Triple AAA rating!

Camping in the meadow
Camping at Shannon’s land was relaxing and peaceful! We loved sitting by the creek to relax and even though we arrived after dark, we were able to find an open spot pretty easily. Shannon was very helpful and friendly.

I enjoyed my time here. It was quiet for being near a road. I woke up briefly in the middle of the night was was very happy with how peaceful it was. Shannon provided perfect instructions and it was easy to find. She was also quick to respond. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place!!
We LOVED staying here!! Shannon was super helpful and quick to respond, very friendly too. The spots are spread a good amount and you can get down to a swimming hole from her property (if you dare get in, it was SO cold). She provided water, one for drinking and one for hand/dishwashing. Two portapotties that were clean. Next to a fairly busy road during the day but quiets down in the evening/overnight. Definitely recommend staying here! We stayed two nights, and Shannon gave us tons of suggestions for things to do nearby.

Beautiful open space
Such a great space on Shannon’s land to stay! Directions to the camp were easy to follow (we arrived after dark) and the space was open and beautiful. The creek near the spot was beautiful and was peaceful to listen to. The stars were amazing. The location was private from other campers and well spread out. Planning on spending more time in willow creek in the future and will definitely look to re-book here!

Really nice. The creek was cute. Lots of yellow jackets and mosquitoes so needed to bring something to repel but wasn't able to. Outhouses were nice. Stars were lovely.

Camping with my boys.
First, Shannon was not only an exceptional host, she took time to provide information about the area, was highly accommodating, and very kind. The land was beautiful. The creek that runs through the campsite was what you’d expect from a fairytale. Although the water was a bit too cold to swim, it was perfect to wade in during the hottest part of the day. The campsites were clean and well-kept. There are two outhouses, tables and chairs, trees, and open fields. Excellent place for kids to run and explore. There are times when I heard trucks go by on the highway above, but it wasn’t a bother. The sound that was most prevalent at night was the sound of the nearby stream, which was inviting and soothing. My boys and I will definitely return. I highly recommend this lovely site. Cheers!

Valley of peace and tranquillity
Bigfoot Flats is a fantastic spot and was perfect for our group of four plus dog. Very spacious with lots of room between the campsites. The provided potable water and very clean portapotties really allowed us to just enjoy our time without worrying about water and bathrooms. The area is incredibly scenic. Our group spent literal hours just hanging out on a bench under the shade if a tree just admiring the area. The campground is very close to town and various local river spots. We felt safe and relaxed. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Camping On beautiful land!
I had a wonderful time camping on Shannon’s land. She had clear directions on how to get there, and was so sweet and accommodating. The land is truly stunning, probably the most beautiful place I have ever hipcamped. There were huge picnic tables, plenty of camping spots, nice fire pits, potable water, and some of the cleanest Porta potties I have ever seen. There’s a beautiful little creek to dip in, and so much land to run around on. Also, If you use Verizon there’s great service! I could talk about this spot forever but I have to say one of the best parts is the way the light hits the land. The sun didn’t hit my tent until about 9:30! And there was plenty of shade throughout the day. Couldn’t recommend this spot enough!!

Bigfoot flat amazed me. I was worried about it being too crowded, or about not getting a site with a firepit, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how spread out the campsites were, and I got lucky with one with a pit! We spent the whole day at the creek, which I got lucky with as well because no one was there! If another group was at the creek I think it would have been too croweded (for my taste). The view of the mountain was amazing, the fresh scent of forest, the sound of the babbling creek. It was very relaxing. The only downside was around dusk the mosquitos were pretty aggressive, but they did go away after an hour or so. It was worth it to stay, enjoy the view, the fresh air, and the safe, clean, and peaceful creek. Would stay here again!

Serene and Peaceful!
What an incredible spot!!! It was pouring rain and I was exhausted, so I snuggled in and listened to the raindrops on the roof of my little trailer and the sound of the creek too -- perfection. Will definitely be back. Didn't see Bigfoot. 😂

Amazing property to camp! Surrounded by trees and near a running stream, it was a great place to enjoy nature. On a clear night the stars are incredible (we even saw a bit of the Milky Way). We stayed here to visit Redwoods NP and would definitely recommend to anyone doing the same or just wants a serene place to camp

Beautiful creek-side camping
We loved our stay on Shannon's property! Super spacious and quiet, even with four other groups camping on the land over 4th of July weekend. The hosts were kind enough to set up tables, trash cans, port-a-potties, a potable water station, and a hand-washing station that were super handy throughout the weekend. Willow Creek is a really cute town only an hour away from fun river / hiking activities. We & our pups had a great time!
