This was our third visit to Camp Stoney Meadows. We've never being disappointed. Nora and Scott are super hosts. We love our hikes around the ranch and a dip in the cool refreshing river. Our cabin and the facilities were clean and well maintained. We'll be back

This was a great location with great views and lots to do. We would definitely recommend. The hike to the swimming hole was easy and we will bring our towels next time. We enjoyed the Ramada and hope to be back!

Camping beside creek!

Scott and Nora's property is pretty neat. Scott fired up wood fire pizza oven and we got to make pizza from scratch! How amazing!! 100% recommended camping here. (Don't forget to pack insect and mosquito repellent with you.)

My old vibe in a new tribe

If you’ve ever trekked the Camino de Santiago, traversed the Pacific Crest Trail, or wandered through the Appalachian wilderness, you’ll understand what I mean when I say Stoney Meadows is more than a place—it’s a feeling, a community, and a refuge at the end of your day. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Alex, the foreman. His kindness and helpful guidance made settling in effortless, which was especially appreciated after a ten-hour drive. Throughout my brief stay, I often saw him working alongside his children, teaching them the value of their home and instilling a deep respect for the land and its people. The property itself is built with clear intention. From the placement of fire pits that provide privacy without isolation, to the welcoming communal spaces that encourage gatherings, everything about Stoney Meadows fosters a natural flow of interaction and tranquility. Scattered patches of wildflowers add delicate bursts of color along the trails, contrasting beautifully with the variety of trees that offer shade and shelter. The natural hot springs provide a relaxing way to unwind. The ever-present river outside my bunkhouse added another layer of serenity, its rhythmic sounds creating a perfect backdrop for rest. While I didn’t have the opportunity to meet the owners, as they were out of the area during my stay, they were highly responsive to my email inquiries prior to my trip, offering clear and timely communication that made planning easy.

This place was amazing. Being next to the creek was very peaceful and all campsites have shade due to the green beautiful trees surrounding this place. My fiancée and I can't wait to go back!

We were pleasantly surprised that the cabins were on the banks of a lovely creek. The site is surrounded by tall trees and there are beautiful views of mountainous forests in the distance Scott welcomed us on arrival and checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. The cabins were basic but adequate and a definite step up from tent camping. A well equipped public camp kitchen, toilet & sink and shower served us well. There are several picnic tables and benches, as well as fire pits. We loved walking along the creek and swimming in the swimming holes, sitting around the fire at night and letting our souls catch up with our bodies :-) We felt our stay was way too short but we will definitely visit again.

We stayed for two nights and enjoyed nearby hot springs, a pond with SUPs, a beautiful flowing swimming hole, lots of farm animals, and a shady spot for our camper (a 24ft trailer pulled by a Chevy Suburban). Highly recommend.

Beautiful site with great amenities. The campsites are right on the creek with the kitchen, bathroom, and shower a short walk away. Scott was very welcoming and provided all the info we needed to access the hot springs and local fishing spots. We will definitely be coming back to Stoney Meadows!

A Shangri-la

3 m travel trailer ·

A standout Hipcamp experience, starting with the owner, Scott, who clearly loves the land and enjoys sharing its bounty with his guests. We packed for a normal car camping experience but could have left most of the equipment at home. The outdoor kitchen is well supplied with a three burner camp stove, large gas grill, sink (with hot water), dishes, fridge, etc. A couple of us came to fish the Pit River and really appreciated the hot shower at the end of the day. Never did get to the hot springs, so we'll have to come back! Thank you Scott!

It was a nice time. The land was beautiful and serene. Camping next to a creek is dreamlike. Scott was the present host and he was accommodating and helpful. The dogs were also really friendly. Another bonus was the garden had some fruits and vegetables we got to harvest. We would definitely come again. Thank you!

Bit of a hike down to site 1 but secluded once you're set up, and with creekside access! Stoney Meadows was easy to get to provided you follow the directions. There's a small outpost store up the way if you need items. Everything you need is at the campgrounds or the communal site however. There's no chairs for the camp site tables though so bring your own! The camp host Scott was nice, he came down to mingle in the common area after I had setup. My dog was welcomed and had a great time letting the ranch dogs boss him around lol. I enjoyed mountain biking with my dog on the many forest access roads in the area. Overall a fantastic place to camp, especially for the less versed in camping, or those with kids. (Great safe play area for children).

Absolute fairy-tale property on an idyllic creek tucked away from the big, busy world. Fantastic glamping site and facilities on the banks of an idyllic creek. Amazing natural hot springs close by, a huge garden, adorable dogs and farm animals, I can't imagine it gets much better. The crown jewel of the place though is the host, Scott. What a character and overall breath of fresh air. Thanks, Scott, for a short but much enjoyed stay, I hope to be back 🙏🙏

Camping with the luxury of home!

Tent ·

I loved camping at Nora & Scott's place, the directions were clear and while the road did look a little like you were going into a scene from MAD Maxx once you got past the car art on the way in it was beautiful. Very clean grounds, clearly marked camp sites and available trash cans. I started my trip solo and felt so comfortable, the dogs gave me lots of love. When I arrived, Scott actually suggested that I move to Campsite #5 and I am SO GLAD I did. Beautiful views of the river, I was lulled to sleep by the waterfall, still close to the bathroom and had mostly shade. The luxury part of their spot is the fact that they have pretty much everything you could need in their community kitchen, a very clean bathroom and shower. Would 100% recommend.

Magic!!

Tent · With pets ·

One of the best hipcamps we have ever been to, this place is magical!!! If you’re wondering if Nora and Scott’s campground is worth the drive, believe us it is. We loved pizza night, the pond, the swimming hole, the hot springs, the animals, the facilities, the land - everything was amazing. Scott and Nora are the best hosts, you can really feel the love and care they put into this place. The communal kitchen and powwow area was a great way to meet other campers, there was a real sense of community while still being able to do your own thing. The facilities were very clean and well stocked. Our campsite (#5) had picnic table, fire pit and plenty of shade. We will definitely be back!!!

The beautiful camp that has it all

Tent ·

Great spot! We were a bit concerned on the drive up. It's a remote area and the roads as we got closer were rough. However, it is worth the drive. Once we arrived, we were able to enjoy beautiful views, awesome stargazing, great swimming, sweet animals to pet and a clean bathroom & shower. The kitchen area was very useful. We didn't think we would use it, but it was so handy that we ended up using it for all our meals. We stayed in a tent site by the river, because that's what we enjoy, but there are options for people who prefer to sleep in a regular bed with air conditioning while they camp. Most importantly, the host was friendly, kind and informative. It was all we were hoping for and more. We'll be back next year (and we won't bother bringing our camp stove and pots/pans next time) !

Beautiful creekside campground with well-stocked outdoor kitchen. Beautiful land, lovely of Nora and Scott to share with campers. Each campsite has creekside views, picnic table, and fire pit. Flat tent spots surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers. Also cabins and other accomodations available.

Another perfectly magical stay!

Tent ·

We loved our visit to Stoney Meadows last month so much we returned this past weekend only a few weeks later to do it all over again (marking our 3rd visit)! Once again we had the best time wondering the massive property, feeding the horses and donkeys, playing in the creek and hiking to the swimming hole, and of course getting to spend the weekend with all of Scott and Nora's amazing dogs who we've bonded so much with over our visits and they remember us each time! Scott and Nora are always so helpful and friendly, and this trip was really special getting to learn more about the history of the property, and all the work Scott puts into generating power from the water flow. The best part of visiting over the changing summer months is seeing the blooming of plants and produce on the property - blueberries galore and sky high sunflowers this time! A long weekend never feels like enough time in this magical hidden slice of heaven and are so grateful we've found Stoney Meadows - it's become such a special place for my husband, dog and I and we can't wait to return for many years to come.

Site 1 - Tent Camp Stoney Meadows

Absolutely loved it and we will be back next summer!!! There were more amenities than I expected. The property is gorgeous. The river was beautiful and pleasant to be in. Scott was very nice and super accommodating. Definitely pay attention to the directions in the listing and compare them carefully with Google maps… trust the description more than Google maps. The entrance gate/fence is teal now rather than red. Wish we could get in another visit before school starts but we’ll be back next summer!

Creekside Family Lodge

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Stoney Meadows for the second time, and it was once again a truly magical experience. We stayed in the family lodge, which was more than spacious enough for our family of four and our three dogs. Scott, the host, went above and beyond with his hospitality. He surprised us with fresh cherry scones one morning and hosted a fantastic pizza night for all the campers, using his hand-built outdoor pizza oven. One of the highlights of our stay was the private pond with paddle boards, which was a first-time experience for us and incredibly fun. The private swimming hole along the river was equally enchanting. We enjoyed the serene river setting and the camaraderie of fellow campers from across the country. The animals on the property were a delight, especially Rosie the donkey and Chapo the mini horse. Feeding them was a highlight of our trip. The location is also conveniently near McArthur-Burney Falls, which is a must-see while visiting. Thank you, Scott, for making our stay so memorable. We can’t wait to return to Stoney Meadows!

Scott greeted is a we arrived and when he saw our tent was on top of the truck, he pointed out a better camping spot than the one we'd reserved. Filtered water was available at the cabins, but we had to walk a good bit for drinking water. The river flowed close by - that was beautiful! Hot springs were a short drive and hike away - we LOVED the hot springs! Scott brought fresh baked scones one morning!

Hidden gem, absolutely recommend!

5 m pop-up camper · Group trip ·

We had such a wonderful camping experience at Scott & Nora’s! Scott checked in on us and the other campsites each morning to make sure we didn’t need anything, and he was so helpful and accommodating with absolutely everything! Our kids had a blast wading in the creek looking for beautiful rocks, paddle boarding in the pond, cooling off in the crystal clear swimming hole, and relaxing in the hot springs, as did we. Their livestock guardian dogs are so gentle and loving, as are the other two farm dogs, and we loved the pups’ drop in visits throughout our stay. The outdoor common area kitchen has both a grill and barbecue and is well-stocked with grilling necessities, including pans, pots, tongs, hot mitts, etc. There is also a common refrigerator, toaster, and microwave. The bathroom is clean, and the shower is nice and hot! Be sure to bring supplies for making pizzas (dough, sauce, toppings) in case Scott fires up the outdoor pizza oven; I don’t think we’ve had such great pizza as those we made and shared with the other campers!! Scott and Nora’s place is truly a hidden gem and so worth traveling off the beaten path to get there. We will absolutely be back soon!
