Unique and peaceful Lost Sierra retreat within feet of Big Grizzly Creek. 5 minutes from Lake Davis. Minutes from Grizzly Ranch Golf Club. 1 hour from Reno, and 2.5 hours from Sacramento. Nestled among towering trees and serene natural surroundings, The Retreat at Big Grizzly Creek is a tranquil haven located within feet of a gently flowing creek. As you enter the campsite, the refreshing sound of water trickling over smooth rocks immediately captures your attention, creating a symphony of nature's melodies. The Retreat is located within minutes of the small railroad town of Portola, CA, 5 minutes from the boat launch at Lake Davis, and a couple of minutes from the public golf course, Grizzly Ranch. The property the campsite is on is over 3 acres with the creek being the western border. The property has numerous overlooks of the creek and surrounding fauna with a short hike. Currently, I am building a trail and a sitting area over the most perfect view atop a rock outcropping, perfect for sipping coffee in the morning or beer. No judgment here! We have big plans for this little piece of the earth we own and are excited the share it with you.

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.

Weekend Trip to Cozy Luxury Yurt @ Lazy Dog Ranch

This was one of the most peaceful places I've ever been. You already start to feel calm just driving to the yurt, and when you get there, it's a perfect, cute little fairy haven. It is spotless, perfectly fitted for comfort and aesthetics, with a wildly comfortable mattress, sheets, and pillows. You'll desire everything in the yurt, from the old school vintage fridge to the Marshall speaker. It's also got everything you need for staying in and cooking, or nearby Nevada City downtown has lovely spots to eat and listen to music. The bathroom is a full, comfortable bathroom directly attached to the room. The swimming spot 6 minutes' drive away is one of the coolest locations I've ever been with perfect temperatures, at least in June. Thank you so much for this stay, my first HipCamp stay!

Had a great time with my 18m twins and my mom and sister over a weekend. It was so fun seeing the kids get into the spirit of things during their first river hangout. They also learned about picking berries in the amazing garden, they were quick students to how that works. We'll look forward to returning! Thanks for sharing this amazing space.

Kelley is a great host. Communication was good. She was available if needed but allowed us our privacy. Pearl is a small Airstream that accommodated 2 adults and dog perfectly. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor shower was a few steps away. The setup was clean and water was warm. The forested surrounding are beautiful.

We visited Kelley's hipcamp as an 18 person group for 3 days/2 nights and had an incredible time! To get the main downside out of the way--there were a lot of mosquitos, which came out in the morning and at mid-afternoon. That said, Kelley has a beautiful property, clean and well appointed facilities for her guests to use, and is an all around incredible camping host. She was flexible, helpful, friendly and kind. We would recommend her hipcamp to anyone looking to camp in the Tahoe NF area!

Everyone was comfortable and stoked to be there - from the beautiful outdoor kitchen, late night outdoor baths and stargazing, comfy accommodations, and daily trips to the yuba we all were on cloud 9 and never wanted to leave.

Lori's yourt is easily accessible, but incredibly secluded. The hosts are just as hidden someplace beyond the yrees, but available and responsive. If you need a true retreat, this is the spot! The heartfelt hospitality and " merak " is palpable as soon as you turn into the steep forest road with fun markets leading you to a hill where your aboard is awaiting you and your empty " to do list". Your children and furry kids can be let loose to roam happily and safely. Comfy bed with cozy bedding, kitchen with cute fridge and matching Fiesta plates. Hot shower and surprisingly fresh outside toilet with a pine canopy view. A meditative outdoor " forest sanctuary" awaits your zafi, yoga mat and presence!. If the art of doing nothing runs it's course, a hidden nature reserve for carnivore pitcher plants is a few miles away. The forest drive is treacherous, you may have to hike few miles in to the end of the road . A sign will point left to a footpath to " pitcher plant reserve". The forest has seen fire , so it will look like you missed the mark, until a sign marked " boardwalk" will lead you a bout 150 feet left to a large boggy clearing with scores of wildflowers, including the pitcher plant 's beautiful orchid -like blooms ( June 1st, 26). Well worth the effort. Bird-watchers will also be pleased in Butterfly valley and beyond. Another good excursion worth the 3 hours out of your private Paradise is Frasier falls via Quincy, it was going strong on June 1st. Fermament view from bed

Weekend Trip to Ridgetop Ranch Getaway

An idyllic campsite with an absolutely gorgeous view! Chris and Rebecca are wonderful and extraordinarily kind hosts. My 5 year old loved the giant swing - and everything else. Highly recommended.

Weekend Trip to Ridgetop Ranch Getaway

This site is an absolute dream! If you’re looking for a place that treats you like family, look no further because this is it! They were both so welcoming and always available when we had a question or concern. The campgrounds are absolutely stunning. The views are so beautiful and breathtaking. We had a phenomenal time exploring the area, playing on the swing, hitting the ping pong table, having a move night, giving some love to their dog, Bronson, and making new friends. We are definitely coming back to make more memories!

Weekend Trip to Sierra Sol Camp

We had an amazing stay at Sierra Del Sol Hipcamp celebrating my 50th birthday! The property offers excellent amenities that make camping comfortable while still allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. One of the highlights is the incredible outdoor kitchen—thoughtfully designed, well-equipped, and a wonderful gathering space for cooking, sharing meals, and connecting with fellow campers. What truly sets Sierra Del Sol apart is its creative and artistic vibe. The space feels intentionally curated, with unique touches throughout that create a warm, inspiring atmosphere. There’s a sense of creativity that really brings together community and beauty that makes the experience feel much more special than a typical campground. The overall atmosphere is peaceful, welcoming, and relaxing, making it easy to unwind and reconnect with nature in the beautiful gardens. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat, a creative escape, or a memorable outdoor adventure, Sierra Del Sol is the best! The cool cathedral space was great for late night dancing and the suspended campfire was really a highlight. Thanks Sierra Del Sol for a memorable birthday experience!

Weekend Trip to Lazy Bear Cabin

As my first Hipcamp stay, it was perfect. Perfect location, easy to find. The surrounding forest was beautiful. The cabin itself set was very nice and cozy. We did our best to keep it the way we found everything. We couldn’t find a sponge so we weren’t able to the dishes but not many were left. It was a great experience.

2 nights at Bright Bear Camp in Tahoe NF

We had a wonderful stay at Pearl. Kelley’s detailed directions made it super easy to find the place and settle in. Pearl was incredibly cozy, and everything—from the decor to the small details—felt thoughtfully arranged and well cared for. The location was perfect as well. It was conveniently situated between Nevada City and Lake Tahoe, which made it easy for us to explore both during our trip. We also brought our dog, and it was such a great experience. The off-leash space was a huge plus, and our dog had a great time too, which made the stay even more relaxing for us. My wife and I both enjoyed our time here so much that we were already saying we’d love to come back. Highly recommend staying here. Thank you Kelley!

Weekend Trip to Ridgetop Ranch Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this Chris and Rebecca’s site! The views were absolutely stunning, especially at sunset—the perfect way to end each day. The host was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The campsite was very clean and well maintained, which made the experience even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was movie night, which added a fun and unique touch to the camping experience. We also loved that the campsite felt peaceful and secluded while still being conveniently close to town for supplies, food, and exploring the area. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with beautiful scenery and great hospitality. We would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Bright Bear Camp in Tahoe NF

Kelley has a cool spot about 40 min from Downtown Nevada City! We loved the cabin- it was modern, SPOTLESSLY clean, and had everything you could need without extra clutter. We were looking to get out of the city, get into nature and do so with minimal packing of gear on our part. This cabin provided the perfect middle-ground experience for us. The bed was super comfortable, we were able to cook a great meal with the kitchen set up, and we enjoyed the luscious green views from inside the cabin. We also loved that Kelley provided coffee grounds and a pour over set up for guests- this felt generous with coffee prices these days. Kelley was friendly, responsive and helpful- she offered to refill the water when we were out for the day which was appreciated. There was an outdoor shower on site, but it’s closer to the main campers set up and we didn’t end up using it for that reason. Try out Kelleys spot and be sure to get some sun and swimming in at the Yuba River nearby!

Upper Jamison Creek Campground

The sign at the entrance of the campground is a little hard to see. Don't go past it on the dirt road or you'll need to turn around. The park is great!

I think the description is wrong on here...Pacific Ocean...El Cap?

The weather can change on a dime, so layers are key to fully enjoying this beautiful park.
