Site 2 - Forest Camping
Site #2 was clean and quiet nestled with a great stand of trees. Pond was walking distance and offered a great dock to start the day.

Amazing place. Ron and Kristin saved this beautiful space from the Park fire. Lots of love here. The woods, the pond, the river. Magical. Very private, very quiet. Ron brought me well water, thanks Ron. My dog loved being free to run. Really want to go back with a group of solo women campers. Perfect place to gather.

The campsite was lovely, and the bathroom was clean. The kids had a great time fishing, boating, and playing by the fire. Many of the trees had been burned in a past park fire, so it did get quite hot during the midday hours. The host was kind and accommodating. There were only two campsites, with a large distance between them, offering plenty of space and privacy.

Thank you Kristin and Ron for your hospitality. Our kids and dog really enjoyed swimming in the pond. We hope to return!

As a solo woman I felt completely safe... Beautiful property, it was nice to see Mother Nature coming back to life on the ridge... Can't wait to bring my family back, especially my grandson to ride the train...

Such a great spot. For a quick get away. Things to know: plan for mosquitoes, they were abundant. The bathroom was amazing. Literally a flushing toilet in the middle of the woods lol. There was a lot of early morning activity, from the property owners going around on some sort of quad, to the fire department rolling through…not the work but definitely a lote less private than I was thinking. Also, there was a lot of tree clearing going on due to the past fire.
Fair warning: the map is a big loop and the first leg of the loop is pretty mild, a gravel road, no crazy bumps. However. The outter part of the loop past site 1 that leads out to the main road is definitely not for small sedans or anything low to the ground. We also got a few hours of a mountain storm and ended up leaving abruptly on our last night because we were getting flooded out. The campsite turned into a small ocean in the matter of an hour. And thank god my Subaru outback is All Wheel Drive! The road out would have been completely impossible if not for my Subaru. And even then we were sliding all over the place. The road out was ROUGH and was all red clay dirt that turned to mush after 20 mins of rain. Without ALL/4WD we would have been stuck in seconds. So, do yourself a favor and make the whole drive through if you suspect rain and make sure you can get out. Otherwise, this was good spot about 30 mins outside Chico, Ca. Would visit again without the possibility of rain.

We had a great experience at Maple Creek Ranch. Ron was very helpful with anything questions and requests we had. The sites are spread apart and you can barely see the other. There was an issue with the outdoor shower and Ron let us use the shower at the airbnb on the property.

This is a great spot with great hosts. Our spot was tucked into the woods with no one nearby, with a fire ring, a heavy duty picnic table, and a nice tent pad. Ron, the host, brought a 10 gal water container to help us get set up and gave us the lay of the land. Nearby was a very nice port-a-potty, a temporary solution while they work on their septic system for campers. The weather was cold, so when we were down by the charming pond, Ron had a fire going for us. At the pond, the grill setup is really nice. Due to weather changes, we didn't get to explore all the property and trails, but we are really looking forward to returning.

Great private camp spot! Even after having the Park fire, the camp area is still beautiful. The pond was awsome for my daughter to catch and release. It's a short walk down there.
There's a general store close for extra ice and the hosts were very nice! BRING MOSQUITO REPELLENT! After getting the fire going and the citronella coils burning they stay away.

What a gem right outside of Chico. It was a lovely stay on lovely people’s land. It was quiet, we had plenty of space, and there are opportunities to walk from the campground.

My family, friends, and I spent a great weekend away here. There are 2 sites and I could barely see the other campers from site 1. Lots of room to hang out and relax. It’s fairly secluded too, and perfect if you want to have privacy. Our hosts were great. They provided us some water and resolved an issue with the toilet as well. 5 stars we would recommend staying here.

Kristin was warm and inviting. She left me with extra water and garbage bags. She was also very kind to my dog and let him play around the forest. Site 2 was quiet with plenty of privacy. The property is large enough to go on a couple hikes. Overall, a great experience.

My boyfriend and I loved our stay here. Kristin was so nice. She waited until late night for us to arrive so she can personally show us our campsite. She even let us borrow her pot and brought it to us because we forgot to bring our rice cooker. So nice! The campground was very large but it was quiet and private which we liked, it felt so intimate. We explored the campground by walking the trail that Kristin told us about. There was actually no view around it aside from burnt woods and trees due to the fire that happened before. There was also a small pond with lots of fishes and turtles. Nevertheless , overall stay was pretty nice and memorable.

This was so much fun, we can wait to come back in the summer to go swimming. Site 1 was secluded and spacious, the property was beautiful, and Kristin and Ron were very kind. They even lent us a knife since we forgot one, and provide extra firewood. Would definitely recommend!

No complains at all, everything was great! Ron greeted us at check-in and showed us to our campsite. He made sure we had plenty of wood for our 3 day stay and left us plenty of water as well. My husband and I had our young pup and she loved being off leash the whole time. We did get approached by 2 black dogs and a black pup on our hike to toward Mud Creek but they were super friendly! The flush toilet was such an added plus and was the cleanest I’ve seen at a campsite! We took use of the pond and did some fishing! We plan on staying again in the summer!

Site #2 was perfect and so were all the shared areas near the pond. Ron and Kristin obviously put a lot of thought and care into these sites and the camping experience and it shows. We will definitely be back and are already looking to book future weekends for next year.

It's a privilege to camp on this beautiful land treasured in a family for generations. Ron made me feel very welcome and made sure I had everything I needed for a nice stay. I loved swimming in the pond and hanging out under the trees near it - a shady, cool spot on a 95F day. The creek is also a beautiful, shady spot to explore. The campsite itself is very private, out of sight and very nearly out of hearing from the only other campsite. Plenty of shade there, too. The skies were dark enough that I could see the Milky Way at night. I took a day trip up into Lassen Volcanic National Park - it's a 2 hour drive, but a beautiful one. I look forward to going back to Maple Creek for future camping trips, alone or with friends and family.
This was my first time camping solo, and I felt completely safe and secure. I even left the rain fly off my tent to watch the stars overnight.

What an amazing place. So peaceful and beautiful. Great hosts, the pond was an absolute treat ( And necessity since we visited on the hottest weekend on record). We will be back to explore the trails and ride the train. A few things we didn’t get a chance to do with the extreme heat. The pond is stocked with fish that you almost :) can catch with your hands. Loved it.

I really enjoyed the site! Very private, picnic tables were in great shape, hosts provided water and were quick to respond to texts, even brought us bug spray! The pond is such a wonderful place to hang out, we even grilled burgers for lunch down there so we didn't have to leave. The kids loved it! The outdoor shower was a nice touch. Overall, a wonderful time and we will definitely be back!

Site 1 - Forest Camping
Beautiful and peaceful pond and great amenities. Outdoor shower by the pond was much appreciated as it’s a pretty dusty area. Flushing toilet near both camp sites was an added luxury. Although the pond is a decent distance from the campsites, there are several places to park if you need to bring a lot of gear and choose to drive down to that recreation area. Our only minor regret was not knowing we’d be sharing the pond area with an AirBnB. My sister and I had booked both campsites under the mistaken impression we’d have sole use of that area. As we both have young dogs, we were sensitive on encroaching on others with our talkative pups and therefore did not use the pond area as much as we would have liked. Wonderful friendly owners.

We have a small RV and family has a pop up tent trailer. We had so much room. Stars were amazing, quiet peaceful days and nights. The pond was amazing for the grandkids. They fished, paddled boats. It was a wonderful place to go. We hope to make it our yearly place. Thank you

The Hipcamp is a cute little place on Kristen‘s property. We utilized the pond, appreciated the flushing toilets and showers, and ability to bring our pet!
My family had the most fun fishing all day ☀️

We where able to fit a 28' mini winnie, and a tent trailer in the site..incredible set-up, (fire ring, e-z up and chairs where provided). Communication with host was fast and easy. The flush toilet was a godsend..A short walk to the pond was well worth it fishing,swimming and water toys are just incredible. A total gem.
Thank you for providing this look into your property.

I almost don’t want to write a review because I don’t want people to know about this gem and then it get too crowded to book again lol. It was, quiet, private and had really nice amenities, including a steam train for the kids and a little pond to kayak on. This has been my favorite camp ground so far.

We had the best time, the campsite is private and definitely what we were looking for. The pond was so much fun for the kids to play in, complete with life jackets provided, kayak and a boat. They had so much fun feeling independent, but super easy to keep an eye out for them. The dogs loved going for a dip too! We were able to explore and go find the creek, not to mention take a ride around the property on the steam engine train. Hosts were amazing. We will definitely be back.
