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!

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 Healing Place
1 site · Lodging20 acres · Mc Cloud, CA
Welcome to The Healing Place!
Before you book, please BE kind, respectful, sorry NO pets or service animals and please read the entire listing.
We have 20 magical acres in beautiful rural McCloud with The Dome right on the creek. With the creek as your view, you’ll have privacy and many acres to roam.
This is sacred land, and we hold many events here on this property such as CE5, Spirit Photography and Drum circles. We will let you know ahead of time if there will be an event when you book. We usually host them on the new moon and on a weekend.
Loads of wildlife roam these lands so be prepared to see bear, coyote, deer, fox and many species of birds including a Heron live down by the creek. Be mindful of not keeping any food in your car and making sure to place it in the fridge inside the dome.
We have a medicine wheel, sacred circle in the meadow across the dome, we usually host our CE5 events there. We are 6 miles away from the McCloud reservoir, 15 mins from McCloud Falls, 5 mins from the town of McCloud and 20 mins to Mount Shasta.
The Dome sleeps 2 adults, has electric, 2 bed side lamps that charge phones, with a pillow top mattress, soft cozy linens, a fireplace, a kitchen bar with hot water kettle, a french press, decanter with healing waters from the Shasta forest, a dining table set, coat rack, and a hammock.
Please remove your shoes upon entering the dome, you may want to place them on the coat rack to the right of the door rather than leave them outside as it’s safer.
We do not have a cook top stove, or microwave , it’s best to plan to eat out as it’s safer and we don’t get trash service here, I cart it all out myself. Bringing snacks totally ok and can go in the fridge. There’s no fires of any kind that we can allow here so no bbq or cooking. We know all the good spots and will gladly share them. Text me if you need anything, I’m happy to help.
The Composting toilet is one of the best on the market, called Natures Head. It’s located outside of the dome for privacy in a king camp tent with everything b you’ll need inside. It’s super easy to work and believe it or not, not so bad to use. Directions are inside the restroom but I’ll relay the important here. NOTHING but #2 goes inside the trap door, no liquid or tp at all as it throws off the compost and I have to clean it all out after someone doesn’t use it properly.
The outdoor shower is located near the main home, but built into the forest and private. Signs are posted so you’ll see where to go. We like to give guests what we would want to experience, and it turned out pretty fantastic. The hot water lasts 20 mins and heats up fast. Please keep all shower products naturally based as we are eco friendly and holistically based. Shampoo, conditioner, Body soap will be provided for you here.
Note! There are bugs, There are wildlife, this is a glamping experience so please know that when you book, you will know what you’re getting. Although this is luxury glamping it’s still glamping! We placed diatomaceous earth around the dome to help as it’s safe, food grade and non toxic.
We aren’t able to have ANY fires on the property, none. Can’t make any exceptions, we’re sorry. That means no bbqing, no smoking on the property.
This place is meant to be shared, with nature lovers, conscious creators and spiritual wanderers. Welcome.

The best camping near Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park guide
Overview
About
Ahjumawi is a one-of-a-kind park. For starters, it can only be accessed by boat – which automatically gives it a bit of flair. Once you paddle your way to shore, the turf is dominated by lava rock, pine forests, hills covered with wildflowers – all intercepted by a series of waterways. This park is truly an outdoor lover’s playground and offers an amazing place for a day or weekend retreat. The aqua colored waters offer a refreshing contrast to the park’s unique landscape. The park itself is a collection of “recent” (read: three to five thousand years old) lava flows that have formed into large areas of jagged black basalt. Since most all of the park is covered in this landscape, we feel like it makes the perfect spot for some old school mission impossible. The catch? There are no couches to jump onto and the lava is oh so real.
When to go
The ideal times to visit Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park are during the warmer months of spring and summer, when the climate is pleasant for exploration. Cooler fall and winter days offer a different kind of serene beauty, but layered clothing is recommended. Sunrise to sunset park hours provide ample time for daytime adventures.
Know before you go
- Access to Ahjumawi is exclusively by boat, with no public roads leading to the park.
- Prepare for a true wilderness experience; ensure you have proper gear and let someone know your plans.
- Be mindful of limited maintenance services; pack out all refuse to preserve the park's natural beauty.
- Cell service may be limited, so plan accordingly for safety and communication.
- Check for any posted orders or park regulations before your visit to ensure a smooth experience.
