Welcome to adventure in far north Siskiyou County! Firebird Ridge presents a fantastic secluded camp station in a beautiful semi-wild setting with huge open sky views over 50 miles of the Klamath River and Siskiyou Crest. Just 10 minutes off the freeway and a little ways up from the river, a handful of thoughtfully laid out sites afford comfy car, tent, or compact RV camping with ample privacy.
At an elevation near 3000 feet, the Ridge gets lots of sun, with cold nights and hot days in winter and summer respectively. The mountainside location generally offers clean fresh air with stunning sunsets and excellent stargazing. Best to arrive in daylight to orient and take in the scene! Count on fair to good cell service, plus limited central wifi and power on request.
The land contains over a mile of trails with vistas, rock features, gnarly old 'bonsai' oak trees, native plants and wildflowers. Your stay here directly supports ongoing conservation, watershed protection and fire mitigation work around the site. Birds and wildlife are prolific, mostly the friendly sort however visitors should be mindful to avoid unwelcome encounters, and any children or pets kept under close watch. Your host can address questions or concerns.
The property is not a park, playground, or big backyard, in fact probably not much like anyplace you've been...prepare for a novel experience! Come as a guest, not a customer, and find yourself at home in the wild. Activity and development on site are minimized to enhance natural habitat and ambience. It's a slow and steady work in progress, not a polished product, so input and feedback is certainly welcome!
Guests are advised to minimize disturbance of other occupants and lifeforms--it's fine to have fun and make some intermittent noise but disruptive or damaging behavior will be curtailed. This location is not set up (yet) for people with mobility challenges, or people with no prior wilderness camping experience. Small to medium size (5-15p) groups may combine sites and enjoy some shared space and amenities, please inquire.

The Salmon River watershed is among the cleanest in the world. There are plenty of hiking trails and beautiful places to experience. Osprey’s Perch is set up well for serving as a base camp for local activities like hunting, fishing, kayaking, rafting, day hiking, or just spending time on the river at one of the few private access points in existence. The commercial gas range serves as a great backup when fire restrictions are in effect! I hope you enjoy your stay and if you have any questions please reach out!
Learn more about this land:
Osprey’s perch is a small campsite perched above the Salmon River. The pit toilet is just downhill from the camp at the end of a trail winding down through the meadow and to the right. There is private access to secluded swimming and fishing holes on the lower Salmon River down the meadow trail and to the left. A bridge provides shelter from rain if needed. The area is known for its world class steelhead fishing and is unparalleled in its natural beauty. The elk even stop by occasionally on a late winter/early spring morning if you are lucky enough to get the timing right… I hope you enjoy our most recently additions, tent pads on a nice deep bed of chips, and a dog run for your best friend!

Shasta View Campsites are part of a former 30,000 acre ranch that was split up into smaller parcels in the 1970's. It is comprised of 5 to 500 acre parcels. All these parcels are homesteads. There are no commercial or industrial areas on the Ranch. In 2005, I started looking for land in the Shasta area after falling in love with the Mountain and it's surrounding lakes. I have always known exactly what the land I would spend time on would look like.
One day, in 2006, I was driving on the Hammond Ranch, again hoping I would find that place. I was driving my van, with my 2 kids and some of our friends, through a heavily wooded area. I made a left turn down a dusty dirt road and Eureka! I had found IT. I was at the top of a 60 acre meadow that had a full unobstructed view of Mt. Shasta, encircled by lenticular clouds. I told a friend of mine, who was at the time a realtor in the Shasta area, that I had found a piece of land that looks perfect to me. If, that is, it also had a creek on it. She did some searching around and found out that the land that is now Shasta View was in fact for sale. And, it had a creek on it. And it was comprised of some acreage in the meadow and some in the trees. This was everything I had wanted. I bought the land within the next 2 weeks.
After camping on the land a few times, I started to understand where the best sites would be to build some structures. Because the meadow always has a certain amount of moisture to the ground, it is not suitable for building a structure. The good thing about that, is that nobody who owns land in that meadow will ever build there. We will only be looking at Mt. Shasta from that meadow. Never a building. The platform I built in the meadow offers on a chance to sleep under the stars. Billions of them. My property is only one of two that have old, large Cedar and Pine trees on it. It made perfect sense that I would be building a small house in those trees. While camping on this land, you will find exquisite beauty and solitude. Within 30 minutes, you will find Lake Siskiyou and Castle Lake for some of the finest swimming around.
If you fish, the McCloud and the Sacramento rivers offer some of the best trout fishing in the state. There are two “Blue Ribbon” designated streams. The first is Upper Sacramento River. It starts as a trickle from the melting snows of Mt Shasta and by the time it reaches the area around the town of Dunsmuir which is just south of Shasta City, it is a true “Blue Ribbon” designated trout stream. The place to find all the ins and outs of fly fishing in this area is at the Ted Fay Fly Fishing shop in Dunsmuir. The second “Blue Ribbon” trout fishing is on the McCloud River. Historically some of the best trout fishing to be found. I have fished both these streams and always caught fish.
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN BEDDING IF YOU'LL BE SLEEPING IN THE TREEHOUSE.
And need I say anything about hiking on Mt. Shasta?

This 200 acre property is located within the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument, a land bridge where two mountain ranges meet, creating immense biodiversity and natural beauty. Soda Spring is a bourgeoning community tended land located on the unceded territories of the Shasta, Takilma, Latgawa and Klamath peoples, just 10 minutes from the south end of Ashland, Oregon. The property is primarily oak savannah and pastureland, with adjacent fir/pine and madrone/manzanita forests and hillsides. The land sits in a valley where both Soda Creek and Carter Creek enter in to Emigrant Creek as it flows onward to Emigrant Lake, just a mile away. The land is being stewarded by a small group of humans and large community of wildlife and insects. Together we are slowly creating something special... including community event and classroom spaces, gardens, orchards, holistically managed ranch lands, campgrounds and wild places.
Please note that we are a working farm with sheep, cattle, horses, chickens, turkeys, dogs, cats, pigeons and bees. We ask that you are considerate to all the life happening on the land, observing animals at a distance (except the cats, who will not allow for that) and being aware of electric fences. If you bring dogs to the land, (an option only with RV sites) do so at your own risk. Dogs will need to be leashed at all times and cleaned up after meticulously. Thank you for helping keep everyone safe and the land well cared for.
Currently there are two vintage trailers and two RV sites available. By summer of 2026 we hope to also offer walk-in campsites by the creek!

Alpen Cellars Winery was established on a family ranch in the spring of 1984; it is situated in a picturesque mountain valley at the foot of towering craggy peaks in the rugged Trinity Lake region of Trinity County, California.
Alpen Cellars is a family venture in which each of us take part in the long painstaking process of wine production. From pruning to harvest, crush to fermentation and bottling, we strive for fine wine and a connection to our customers.
It may seem like an unlikely location to grow wine grapes, but the combination of high elevation and favorable microclimate provide the ideal conditions for early maturing grapes.

Fantastic view! I want to take my family camping for the first time and decided to choose ShastaView. Basically had the place to ourselves, no one was around. The roads are a bit rough but if you follow Gary’s instructions, you’d get to the location just fine. The spot to view the mountain is about 1-2 min walk from the kitchen, but the result was worth it!

Great Spot! Beautiful river, clean water, excellent fire pit with wood provided. Water hose runs down to the camp to spray off dishes and to drown out the fire. Bridge noise wasn’t bad at all. Be sure to bring your own TP for the pit toilet below. Some bugs and poison oak to be mindful of, but easily avoidable! Hosts were very mindful of our privacy. I would certainly recommend this spot and I would definitely stay again!

Weekend Trip to Trillium Wilderness Retreat
We stayed in the dome and loved it! It was a beautiful location and very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed the simplicity of the dome and the time at the river and trails on the property.
The stars at night were incredible!

Beautiful and spacious camp site. Clear view of Mt Shasta and the stars! In May temps drop in the 30s but daytime can be hot. About a 15 min drive to the closest town. Also note it's a dog friendly campsite but there are lots of foxtails so be mindful of your dogs.

Ali and his property acts a sanctuary for those who are seeking safety, peace, and clarity. His generosity and kindness immediately puts you at ease. His land is carved with vegetation and sweeping views of the mountain. Thank you Ali for not only your hospitality, but for sharing your gift and practice of energy healing with us. We will be back again soon.

A beautiful experience at Shasta Gardens! Ali T. was a wonderful host who went above and beyond to accommodate us. The property is home to a stunning 'Grandmother Tree' and offers some of the best stargazing I’ve ever seen. We stayed for Mother's Day and especially enjoyed the fire stand Ali provided; sitting around the fire was so relaxing. Very comfortable and highly recommended!

I had the best stay at Trillium. The Maple Grove cabin is so charming. Wood stove and a clawfoot tub in the same room - what more could you need? Thanks Jeremy - I’ll be back!

Spent our whole time here with my mouth hanging open and just being in awe of the mountain, but honestly 360 degrees of incredible nature views. Alex was super friendly and met us when we arrived to give us all of the info. We will definitely be back if we’re ever passing through again!

Overview
About
Escape humanity in a national forest that has it all. Rugged mountains, rolling hills, whitewater rivers, and tranquil lakes await you in the Klamath Mountains. Summertime treks range from easy to arduous.
Take long walks among towering Ponderosa pines and iconic Douglas firs. Keep an eye out for majestic birds, chittering squirrels, howling coyotes (at night) and black bears. There's no shortage of guides to take you kayaking, fishing or horseback riding.
The town of Happy Camp offers a great central location for your backwoods adventure. Catch gold fever by panning for gold the way prospectors used to. Scenic drives get you close to trailheads for day hikes.
If you love the white powdery stuff, Happy Camp serves as a home base for snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
The 34 campgrounds in this area stay open from mid-May to late October. Camping within the park is on a first-come, first-served basis as managed by the Forest Service in Siskiyou County.

Red Bank Campground
The camp sites are large and it has large trees and plenty of shade. Warm showers and a place to wash dishes. Flush toilets and wood for sale on the property. Highly recommend

As national forest campgrounds go this one is pretty premium, very clean, much upgrading in the pavement and boat launch area, all sites have nice pads. Upgraded pit toilets and has running water. The paved loop around the lake is handicap accessibile and flat , perfect for a wheel chair. It's a few miles from the highway and a favorite spot for locals but we passed by it for many years before checking it out. It's worth the trip. Highly recommended for basic camping, no frills.

Isolated and underused this is ideal car camping. Non OHV and equipped with a fire ring and pit toilets with a new potable water system. There is also trash cans and an emergency phone. A few of the sites have an oldschool camping stove and firewood abounds all around. Pay with the drop envelopes with a max stay of 14 days. Nearest town is about 6 miles away (45 min drive). The PCT is about 2 miles behind camp with a fantastic trail and parking lot. Swimming is everywhere with a particularly nice spot hidden behind site#1.

Mt. Ashland campground is pretty but BUSY! This is about what you would expect for a campground that's only about 10 miles off of the interstate. We were happy with our campsite and the vault toilets were reasonably clean. We plan to return!
