Disclaimer: this is not a state park campground or an Airbnb, this is an off grid Homestead and I have lots of junk lying around such as tools, materials, equipment, etc., if this is not your style, please do not book. The directions provided by Hipcamp are not accurate. Please contact me the day before your listing and I will provide directions. 12 Acres in the Redwoods. Creekside. We have a private driveway with lots of secluded Space. lots of chickens usually an endless supply of eggs for breakfast. Small campfires available. Cabin renters have access to Hot showers, wood-burning stove, kitchen amenities and running water. Porta potty only The cabins are located Away from our living area. Main cabin is overlooking the creek and the tent sites, creekside cabin is down near the swimming hole and tent sites. Tent sites are located next to the creek or up near the community fire pit. This is our home, it is private, eclectic and filled with natural beauty. That being said, it is by no means pristine. We have the occasional junk pile like most off grid homesteaders do. We do not throw out some things that others would. We try to find a use for old and weathered equipment and materials. Our cabin is built completely with recycled and reclaimed materials. Like I said, we do not like to waste anything, so you may notice a few parts and pieces laying around.

Creekside Cabin
We loved staying in the Creekside Cabin. We spent the evening cooking our dinner and enjoying a bottle of wine while the kids were swimming in the creek. The cabin is perfect, so a clever, pretty and well put together. We would love to come back!

Fun spot!!
What a fun spot!! The communal fire pit offers an opportunity to hang with other campers. The Creekside spots are gorgeous, so make sure you arrive right at 2:00 to claim one of those. Our busy toddler loved looking at the chickens and stomping around in the creek. Our campsite was right next to the chicken coop and it was fun to wake up to the roosters. I love that fresh eggs were available for us, too. As the description says, this land does have all kinds of stuff lying around in some places. We didn’t mind it, but if you’re looking for pristine natural beauty, this isn’t your spot. The site was dustier than I expected and the whole area is pretty hilly. Getting down to the creek from the parking area is a little difficult.

This campsite was is a cool spot. The location is secluded but close to town and the creek was perfect for cooling off and cleaning up. The property could use some love., There’s a lot of junk laying around and the roosters crowing at 3am was a little annoying. Otherwise, the spot had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would recommend for anyone looking for a cool spot to pitch a tent.
