Please note:
We have two 'Overnighter' sites these are instant book for weary travelers and not meant as full on camping sites. Site 1 and site 2 or Antelope please refrain from booking unless you are traveling through -
All other camp sites require a minimum of 24 hours notice this allows for getting the sites ready - so if you want to camp here please note this requirement
If you are traveling w a bumper pull of any type you need to book Big Rig ( soon to be named Art Camp) this is our only pull through camp site all others only tiny teardrops, cassettes, tents, vans, cars, or cab overs.
Bobcat is great for tents, cars, vans, small trucks, no bumper pulls
Camping here is low activity experience as in there is hiking up in the National Forest or just hanging out in your camp site, or bring your camera, notebook and binoculars, or road bike.
When you come to camp here you are on a farm in transition. Girlfarm has been a local food go to for restaurants, farm family members, and regenerative agriculture interests. Today, the farm is looking forward to a new course in agri tourism as we begin planning walking gardens, art installations in the landscape, and interactive classes.
If you would like fresh veggies contact Prema Farm one day BEFORE arrival -
Please come visit in April May and June it is some of the most green and lush times in the high desert. It can also bring snow, winds, and rain. Be prepared- look at the forecast and contact me directly if you have concerns
SKEETERS are around we also recommend tents have a rain fly and ground cloth.
Welcome
It was important to choose a partner like Hipcamp to invite like minded individuals who respect both the natural environment and the idea of less is more.
At any time you may encounter farming activities, building out of tiny houses, gardens in the process of creation, snakes, bugs, ticks, and wild animals.
As we move toward offering the land as a place to both find solitude or chosen participation our Flyte and Sparrow experience will hopefully be a place you will want to return to as your own tradition.

Missy's Mountain Meadows is our 200-acre wild grass ranch, a peaceful haven nestled in the breathtaking Honey Lake Valley—just north of Reno, NV, and south of Susanville, CA. We’re Missy and Kyle, along with our two little adventurers, Lucas (2 years old) and Liam (newborn!). As a young family, we’re pouring our hearts into this land, building a dream rooted in nature, community, and sustainable living. We currently live full-time just north of Lake Tahoe (about 1.5 hours from the ranch), but Kyle typically makes it out to the property 4–5 days per week.
Our ranch is a wide-open sanctuary, fully fenced and ready for you to explore with your RV, trailer, ATV, or horses. Marvel at the rolling grasslands, soak in the serene valley views, and discover the hidden springs tucked away at the back of the property. At the heart of our land is our growing honeybee apiary—a labor of love where our bees work tirelessly to turn nectar into golden honey.
Feel free to roam and enjoy the entire property, with just a few simple guidelines to keep everyone safe and happy:
Pets: We love pets! Please be aware that local predators (coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, etc.) may pose a risk. Close supervision is recommended for off-leash or outdoor pets.
Stay Within the Fenced Area: Explore freely across the full 200 acres, but please keep all activities within the ranch boundaries.
Respect the Honeybee Apiary: Observe the bees from a safe distance, especially if you’re allergic to stings. Do not enter the fenced apiary unless arranged as part of a guided tour.
Solar Stock Well: Please don’t enter the gated area or drink the well water.
Leave No Trace: Help us keep the ranch pristine by cleaning up after yourself and your pets or livestock.
Keep the Gate Locked: Please ensure the gate remains locked at all times.
This ranch is more than a stopover—it’s a place to connect with nature and share in our family’s journey. We can’t wait to welcome you to this special corner of Lassen County, where the stars shine bright and the valley whispers peace.
Enjoy your adventure on our land, and make yourself at home!

This property lies at the base of the Sierra Mountains, approximately 9 miles north of Doyle, CA on the west side of US Route 395. Access to the ranch road is from US Route 395. Its elevation starts at 3800 feet and rises higher than 5,000 feet. The lower half is rolling high chaparral and the upper half is steep with forest land that was burned in the 2021 Dixie Fire. There are still plenty of live trees left.
This ranch lies in Deer Hunting Zone X6b. Lassen National Forest is on the west boundary of this ranch, with a gate that allows access to the national forest. The 395 Ranch boasts incredible views for nearly 75 miles.
The ground is primarily decomposed granite so mud never becomes a problem. Wind can be strong when weather systems approach. The campsites are very basic with no toilet facilities (at this time) but water is available for cooking and washing dishes. An outdoor enclosed shower is available as well. At this time (summer) the water is naturally warm from the pipe’s exposure to the sun and hot water from a flash heater will be available in the near future. Tents can be erected almost anywhere on the property, but campfires are strictly prohibited until the rainy/cold season.
Water and an electric hookup is available next to the barn for RVs and travel trailers at an additional cost. Sewer service is not available.
There is also an older but nice three-bedroom, one bath home that is also available for short term rentals. It is heated during the winter by two wood burning stoves and cooled comfortably during the summer with a swamp cooler. The rent for this house is based on the season, ranging from $169-$229 nightly plus extra fees for pets or more than three people.
Visitors of the past have found hiking, looking for artifacts and rocks to be fun activities. It’s also been an amazing place for stargazing and using telescopes. Others simply enjoyed relaxing and enjoying the peace, quiet and views.
High quality campfire wood is available for $12.00 a bundle.

We love this spot! Incredible view, super private, easy access to the water with an easy, short and steep hike back up to the camp spot. We were there over the 4th of July, and it was still quiet and mellow. Lots of boats on the water but still peaceful at our site. We could even see the fireworks in Virginia City! (25mi away) We towed our 24ft travel trailer to he spot with a 4x4 Toyota Tundra and didn't have any issues. There's a couple steep spots on the drive in, and a 24ft trailer is pretty close to max length that I'd want to tow up to the campsite. Again, no issues at all for us getting up there. Fantastic spot!

Our birthday weekend getaway was everything we could have hoped for. My partner and I were looking for a peaceful escape that felt completely secluded from the rest of the world, and this place exceeded every expectation.
We brought our two dogs, and they had the best time exploring and playing in the creek—they absolutely loved every minute of our stay. Dan did an incredible job making the space feel cozy, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together.
To make the trip even more unforgettable, my partner proposed on our very first day there, making this beautiful place one we’ll always cherish. The directions were incredibly easy to follow, and the rock lookout was such a fun bonus with amazing views.
The outhouse was surprisingly clean and comfortable, and bathing in the creek was one of our favorite experiences. The cold water was such a refreshing shock and left us feeling completely rejuvenated afterward.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better weekend and can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you, Dan, for creating such a special getaway—we’ll always remember it.

Model Farm is great if you have pets and young children. You can camp along the pond pretty much anywhere you'd like — don't expect clearly marked sites. At Julie's suggestion, we set up camp on the south side of a small chapel, which gave us a bit of privacy, and the chapel's east side provided a wind break for cooking. That was a relief, since there was a lake wind advisory and it blew 20 mph sustained for hours each afternoon.
For the kids, the wildlife was a blast. We saw birds, ducks, geese, squirrels, frogs (thousands of them), hawks, a tortoise, and what we were later told was a Great Blue Heron — it was massive. There was a group of three ducks that would sneak into camp whenever the dogs were away or not paying attention and eat their food. Once the dogs noticed, they'd chase the ducks into the water, then come back out. It turned into a running game for both sides, ending in what felt like an uneasy truce by the end of the trip.
If dogs barking and ducks quacking bother you, this might not be the place for you. But if you came to unwind, let the dogs run around, and let the kids catch frogs, this is the place.

Merlin Springs is gorgeous. Our crew had a beautiful evening here as our launch camp before a multi-day expedition into the Black Rock Desert. The site was quiet, pretty and easy to find/access. Level and plenty of room for all our rigs. Thanks Shawna!

We had the best time at Dan's semi-glamping spot! I took my 10 and 12 year old boys. It was so easy to arrive late on Friday and have most everything set up. The site is secluded, right on a creek with small swimming holes. The boys caught a ton of crawdads and had a great time on the SUPs at Lake Davis, which is a short 10min drive away. We'll be back with their mom!

We stayed 1 night in Site 2/Antelope and it was perfect. Arrived at dusk, directions were great. Site was pretty flat, enough to sleep in our truck bed. Birds, bunnies, howling coyotes and a fly by from a huge owl! No neighbors that night. Thanks for the fantastic campsite!

Very peaceful, open space. It felt away enough from the public to feel safe, but not so secluded to make me nervous.

The campsite was EXACTLY what we needed: a safe place for road-weary travelers to stay the night.
The area is beautiful, Wendy was very communicative, and we were relieved at being able to find such a site.
I highly recommend this site for anyone who needs a safe spot to crash overnight (and doesn't mind stunning sunrise sights).

No problems getting up the road in our class A motorhome (just went slow).
Can't wait to stay here again!
