Formerly used as a horse property, we bought this property in 2016 and have renovated the barn and paddocks for llamas and alpacas. We have been collecting RV trailers for the last 10 years with the dream of having this kind of opportunity, and now it is becoming a reality! Now we have 16 animals that make for a fun getaway destination for campers. Stay with us in a "Glamping Trailer" or a "Comfy Sunroom" for the night while enjoying the One Thing Ranch experience with llamas and alpacas. Visit with our animals and take a ranch tour, or just get away from it all while you enjoy the beauty of the local area of Trinity County. Explore the nearby Shasta Trinity National Forest while staying in our ranch, or make us your launching pad for a backpacking trip to the Trinity Alps Wilderness...your first (or last?) "connection with civilization" and a hot shower and comfy bed for the night.

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.

Let us cook for you and make your vacation that much more relaxing. You can also schedule a river float or whitewater rafting trip with us for an additional fee.

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.

Welcome nature lovers, adventurers, foragers, rock hounds, bird watchers, and tree huggers. If you love to fish, hike, forage, raft, swim, kayak, tube, camp, or simply explore, Radio Ranch is a must-experience retreat tucked away in an old growth forest.
Conveniently located between Portland, OR and San Francisco, CA—and between Eureka and Redding—Radio Ranch feels remote while remaining accessible. We’re just 15 minutes from Willow Creek, 1 hour from Highway 101, and 2.5 hours from I-5. Our one-of-a-kind, 100% off-grid luxury campsites offer total privacy and views you won’t find anywhere else.
Each site is nestled near a creek, so you can fall asleep to the sound of flowing water. Explore 30 stunning acres, including hikes to two waterfalls. Sweeping views of Ironside Mountain create a breathtaking backdrop for weddings, events, and photoshoots—ask us about whole-property rentals.
Your stay includes shared access to modern off-grid showers and restrooms (featuring our very popular clawfoot tub), an outdoor kitchen with BBQs, a wood-fired pizza oven, and beautiful common spaces. Free Wi-Fi is available, making Radio Ranch a great option for guests who want to connect nature without disconnecting completely from the digital world.
Check-in is simple and contactless. We host only 2–10 guests on the property at a time, ensuring a peaceful, uncrowded experience that feels like you have the place to yourself. Availability is limited, so don’t wait to book.
Treat yourself to a stay at Radio Ranch—the perfect place to truly get away, while still having it all. Relax, recharge, and reconnect.

Learn more about this land:Come experience life on a cannabis farm in the Emerald Triangle! We are a working farm, so there is always something happening in the garden. Depending on when you visit, we might be planting, pruning, harvesting, cloning, trimming, or some combination of those activities. We designed this experience to share our love of regenerative farming with others. The six tents are all located within a central "glampground" surrounded by our cannabis farm and vegetable and livestock areas. We are in "Bigfoot Country" in the Emerald Triangle of Northern California. Due to severe fire danger in the summer, we don't allow personal fires, but instead include organic farm to table meals in the price of your stay, using eggs, meat and produce from our farm or other local farms (vegetarian and vegan options available.) Let us cook for you and make your vacation that much more relaxing. You can also schedule a river float or whitewater rafting trip with us for an additional fee. The area is home to world class river rafting, pristine swimming holes, extraordinary cannabis farms, vineyards, fishing and wildlife sightings. We can help you plan your days to take in all this beautiful area has to offer.

Such a great spot! Was super secluded and all the bathrooms were clean and there was lots of water. I'm definitely planning on coming back here again. Only thing I wish I knew ahead of time was how dewey it gets at night. Definitely cover your fire pit with a tarp so it's easier to start in the morning!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bigfoot Flat on Willow Creek. Shannon was super friendly and helpful in her messages. They provided potable water and a number of very clean porta potties for campers. There are a few sites but they are not close together. We mostly had the place to ourselves, one other person arrived while we were camping but they went to the other end of the area and we could not see or hear them from our site. There is some road noise but the lovely creek does a good job of drowning out most of it.
There is a good amount of mowed area to walk around and the creek to wade in as well as pretty views of the surrounding mountains. I would highly recommend this hip camp!
