Camp Stoney Meadows

13 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents120 acres · Big Bend, CA
Our 120 remote acres are adjacent to Shasta Trinity National Forest in the beautiful Cascade Range between Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta in Northern California. It's a working ranch with tree farms, animals, hydroelectric power, sawmill, gardens, orchards, creeks, springs, trails, and our camp alongside Kosk Creek. We're 54 miles from Redding off of 299E, (about 1-1/2 hour drive). DO NOT TAKE ROAD 11 FROM THE NORTH, IT IS CLOSED! PIease try to ignore the "car art" in the Pit River Tribe's Rancheria as you're coming here. Drive right through it, it's no reflection on us. The last mile or so of the road here can be pretty rough, but on arrival, you'll know it's worth the trip! No Cell phone service available here, so it's the perfect opportunity to unplug. We do have a land line up at the house in case of an emergency. Also, if you really need it, WiFi is available at the house.

The best camping near Burney Falls guide

Overview

About

One of the most stunning waterfalls in the state, Burney Falls towers 129 ft above a glistening pool deep in the mountains of the Shasta Trinity National Park. A must-see for those hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, Burney Falls will not disappoint. Just a short hike into the Shasta Cascades will bring you to the main overlook where the crashing waters are sure to drown out the world around you. Dubbed "the eighth wonder of the world" by Teddy Roosevelt, Burney Falls truly rivals some of the world's most spectacular natural marvels.
