Tucked-Away Camping Retreat Near Historic Columbia Escape to this peaceful, tucked-away slice of land just minutes from the heart of Columbia. Nestled just outside town, the land offers wide, flat space ideal for tent camping or RV parking (no hookups, just how the wild likes it). Enjoy the simplicity of the outdoors with picnic tables, a convenient wash station, and a classic outhouse as your restroom option — true rustic camping charm.

We loved Felicha's place! Quiet, great location and beautiful scenery. In Columbia and close to Sonora, Jamestown, several caverns and the sequoias. The wash station comes real handy and the campfire made our nights unforgettable. Felicia responded in a timely manner and gave us firewood. We'll definitely stay again!

Very nice. Welcoming vacation spot. We were only there for one night because it was a cheap option. Had no idea it was like that. Would definitely stay again for longer next time.

I loved everything about my stay, I even added an extra an night! Felicha and her family are absolutely wonderful and they went out of their way to make me feel welcome. If you're looking for a clean, safe and private place to land while in the area, THIS IS IT! I feel very fortunate to find this super affordable little gem and I can't wait for my next visit!
