Musick Creek Falls is 40 acres and lies just south of Shaver Lake. At an elevation of, 4800 feet (1.46 km). The land is in a green and lush state of regrowth following the Creek Fire four years ago. Exhibiting novel and intriguing wildflowers such as Sierra Manzanita, sweet peas, Indian paintbrush, and cedars. The terrain is natural, beautiful, and rugged. This property boasts three exquisite cascading waterfalls, hiking trails, rock climbing, mountain biking, and stargazing opportunities. With proximity to Shaver Lake and China Peak Ski Resort, you are just minutes from any outdoor activity imaginable. Including, but not limited to, hiking, water and snow skiing, fishing, boating, stargazing, and sooo much more. The road into the property, although being maintained by us and the community, is still a dirt and gravel road. There are a few potholes and water bars. If you've rented a new Lamborghini, you should probably park on the asphalt, or use the Helicopter pad. The spigot provides excellent spring water. The water is flown in daily, condensed against Musick Mountain and filtered through acres of underground granite aquifers, where the minerals are added, raising the PH to around 9. The high PH helps rid the body of pollutants. I feel it is essential to the whole Musick Creek experience. We want you to leave here healthier and happier than when you arrived. There is trash and a composting outhouse on site. My wife and I stay here on site as long as the dog will allow it. We are at your service serve out heaping amounts of privacy or hospitality as we know how to read the room. Please explore everywhere. Be sure to check out all three waterfalls and Shaver Lake. Don't stay gone too long, though, as just about every night, there is an unforgettable sunset and the sounds and smells of the Sierra Nevada. The experience is supernatural. There is powerful medicine here, and it is undeniable. The weather is very mild most of the year, where a sweatshirt is perfect most nights and not too hot during the day We have kayaks available for use free of charge. Musick Creek Falls offers an affordable option compared to campgrounds and cabins in the area, which are often booked up and very expensive. Most cell phones have good reception throughout the property. We also have spare tents, camping gear, blankets, etc. if you forget something. Musick Creek borders on a Nature Conservancy, The Musick Creek Confluence. Since nearly all proceeds from your support go to the preservation of the area and its ecosystem, It is crucial that we respect our downstream neighbors. Unfortunately, there was an incident where a large family had trash blowing downstream. I know that this is not the norm for Hipcampers. As we are the most respectful and best looking of all the camping crowd. Though some are better at the leave no trace policy than others. It is critical that we deposit all trash into the receptacle. There are garbage bins for your use next to the shipping container, and one can be put at your site upon request. Sasquatch has been known to rip the limbs clean out of the sockets of campers he/she/it has suspected of littering. I scolded the squatch one year bravely, I mustard up the courage to look him is his glowing eyes and demand he return those arms immediatly but when he/she/it tried handing back the arms to the campers... well Im sure you can see the problem there. Please be courteous to our neighbors, as the golden rule is the law of the land. We appreciate your support more than you know, and we are thrilled to share this amazing place with our Hipcamp community. Please be careful during your stay. Rocks can be slick in the water, and when the moon is small, it is very dark. Some nights can be cold, and there are timber rattlers. Timber rattlers get huge and are green. Now if you've ever seen a pissed off rattlesnake coiled up and ready to strike, these are not them. They are not responsible for any bites dog or human year in and year out. I steped on a big one at night and it looked at me like it could not believe how rude and clumbsy I was to the point I took my hat off and apologized red cheeked and ashamed Now The Golden Bears or these new hybrid species that are caused from big bears having to migrate south due to environmentalism and bigger bears are mating with smaller bears making new species They will eat your skin first while the rest of you watches! Lol Im so only totally mostly kidding Please be advised that in the winter months of December through April, there will be no host on site, and access will be limited as weather permits. For more info, visit https://musickcreekfalls.com. I just have to add, for anybody still reading, that Hipcampers are truly an amazing group of people. Maybe it's just that I get to meet you when you're on Vacation and down for anything, but I have not met a single Hipcamper I didn't like, which is incredible as I live out in the wilderness because I don't like people. You all have given me a renewed sense of community, and I am grateful for you all. There is absoloutly nothing I wouldnt do for you, and while you are my guests you are under mine and the forest protection. Protection from bordom , cold, hunger ,danger , mechanical mishap and Dick Cheney ,If you are friends of the falls, then you are my family. What's mine is yours, and the Falls is ours. The responsibility of preserving this place and this planet belongs to all of us as well. Thank you for your support, and thank you for being you, exactly as you are.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE ⭐️
our recent camping trip was nothing short of SPECTACULAR! My family & I set off looking for a weekend escape into nature, and this spot exceeded every expectation. From breathtaking waterfalls to the warm hospitality of our hosts, every aspect of this experience was memorable & soo special! The campsite was nestled in a lush, peaceful setting that immediately felt like a sanctuary. The surrounding trails led us through dense forests and opened up to stunning waterfalls, where we spent hours just taking in the views.The sounds of the falls and the beauty around us created such a calming vibe, making it easy to unwind and connect with nature. The campsite itself was clean, well-maintained & thoughtfully arranged. Our tent spot had the perfect sight of the waterfall. It was spacious and well-equipped with a picnic table &fire pits, which made cooking and hanging out by the fire so easy. But what truly set this place apart was the generosity & warmth of our hosts Shandie & Jesse. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome, sharing tips on the best trails & waterfalls. They went above & beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, even providing extra sleeping supplies! Their kindness & attention to detail made us feel right at home! All in all, this was the perfect escape for our family. Between the gorgeous scenery, the adventure of the waterfalls & incredible hospitality, we left musick creek very grateful for our experience. We can’t wait to come back!!!!

Beautiful camp site!
This spot is incredibly beautiful. You can't get any better than sleeping next to a water fall, playing in the river during the day, and treated to the most wonderful sunsets at night! The hosts were very nice and accommodating. Will definitely be coming back to this spot.

Midway Lookout
Magic in the Falls
We had a great time camping at Music Creek Falls... we stayed at the Midway Lookout site which is a medium size lot with a decent amount of space and put us near the waterfall so we could see it and hear it, but it wasn't too loud either. It's absolutely beautiful here, the view of the Sierra mountains, the landscape and the waterfalls and rock formations are so cool and we had an amazing time hanging out and also meeting Shandie and Jesse and spending some time with them. They are amazing people and are working hard to make this location even more special. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of this amazing place!

Upper Falls
Surrounded by waterfalls!
Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed this paradise. Having a stream and multiple waterfalls right by camp was like a dream come true. Shandie was very considerate and made sure that our every need was met. Running water from a spring and a bathroom were great as well.

I had an amazing stay at Upper Falls. At this spot, you get a great view of the sunset which is just beautiful. Shandie and Jesse are some of the nicest hosts I’ve met! They gave us good information and pushed us to go explore and have fun. They have a lot of stuff you can borrow if you left something at home. I truly appreciate the whole experience. Thank you!
