Canvas Tent on the Beautiful Deck
We had a wonderful time at Mystic Ridge! The giant trees, the views between them, the fire pit, the deck, the string lights - it was all dreamy. With the forest floor mostly made up of pine needles, our dogs had a great time exploring and running around without getting into anything prickly. The kitchen was well-equipped with propane and most any appliance / cookware you could want. There were also a good number of mosquito candles and torches to use. Jason was super communicative and accommodating, as was our camp host Mark, who was happy to help with anything and everything. Be sure to bring ice if you need to put anything in coolers, don't expect cell service (which was a welcome disconnect), and know that the Yuba is 30-35 min away from the campsite (though the drive went fast). All and all definitely 5 stars :)

Jason et al. have done the outdoor enthusiast-city dwellers of the world a massive favor by opening up their property to Hip Camp guests.
We spent three days basking in the beauty and peace of the towering firs on this family campground. We love to camp, but sometimes the setup takes away from the meditative experience we were looking for. This site has all you'd ever need for a comfortable stay National Forest adjacent.
If you're used to driving into a popular state park and setting up in a crowded campground, this will feel remote; and that's exactly what we wanted. And a place for our dog to exist with us off leash.
We spent most of our stay on the deck larger than my SF one bedroom. I've seen many an ocean sunset, but the view through the trees from one of two porch swings might take the cake as the most beautiful I've seen.
It was hot - end of summer and all - but the porch and trees provide ample shade. Our last afternoon we spent the majority of time in our tent due to massive thunderstorms rolling through, but I can't imagine ending the summer in a more dramatic fashion. Hail, heavy rain, thunder & lightening - such things we don't see in SF.
Jason was so communicative and helpful, checking in on us here and there, and coming down during the storms to batten down hatches and make sure we were safe and comfortable. A+++ host.
I hope this property stays on Hip Camp, because I'd love to bring a group here someday to take advantage of the tent sites, too.

Absolute bliss.. we had an amazing time! We had more than we needed. Example, if you were to arrive here with nothing but the clothes on your back they would have everything you need. There is even a cute little store nearby that carries anything your heart can desire plus some. There's a little place to take a shower with running hot water, The various restroom options were well kept, every item was in well condition, including the cookingware and the dishware. The area was super quiet and super chill and very private even with the camp host nearby. There was various places where we could set up tents and various places where we could park. So everyone can be in a group or spread out... There was even a little chill hammock area under some trees. My only advice to campers, their Creek trail.. is a trail. Lol if you are not experiencing hiking, it's a minimal hike but still very difficult for chair sitting office creatures, like myself lol also if you want to swim get up early or expect to walk, The South Yuba River is nearby beautiful but you need to arrive at like 8am. All in all was a great time can't wait to visit again. P.S. host is super responsive and always helpful 5 stars!

We absolutely loved camping at Jason‘s land. It was an incredible view and they had absolutely everything you could possibly need. They were super nice and even came and checked on us and made us breakfast! We couldn’t be more happier to have picked this campsite for our weekend getaway!
