First Hipcamper Club

Earn this patch by being the first to spend a night outside at a new Hipcamp.

Our property boasts 10 acres of private land nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, while being conveniently located 7 minutes off highway 80. On a hillside full of mature oak, pine, and manzanita trees, Manzanita Mountain currently has five individual campsites, a community fire pit, and a bathhouse with two showers, sinks, and new porta-potties. Almost a mile of trails weave through a private forest on half of the property. Each spacious campsite has its own fire pit, water supply, food storage, and level surfaces to spread out your camp stove and gear. Or if you don’t feel like cooking, Auburn and Colfax are a 20 min drive or less with many great restaurant options. Manzanita Mountain is ideally located near excellent hiking and water activities too. Perfect for couples, families, or groups of families to enjoy the outdoors.
