Intro: I am a nature enthusiast, but also love my creature comforts too. I live for swimming, and sitting around a campfire with a few friends or just by myself.

Past trips
160 Acres amidst National Forest
in 160 Acres amidst National Forest, CaliforniaSuch a gem!
If what you are looking for is some solitude in the forest, this is a great spot! It was so quiet and relaxing out there. Exactly what I wanted.
Some things to consider: there is some scattered glass, on the ground, so no bare feet, and probably not the best place for dogs. It isn't horrible, and picking up random pieces of glass and shell casings was actually a fun past time. It would give the kiddos something to do too. Leave it better than you find it, right?
There is not much to do on the land itself, except for going to the creek, but it is a mile and a half down a steep dirt road, that I was too chicken to drive beyond 0.3 miles.
There is Finnon Lake just 6.5 miles down the road for a $6 day use fee, and a great place to spend the day for swimming and kayaking. It has a great little beach with tables, and the water is warm!
There is cell service, and Elly is very responsive and accommodating.
Mosquito Road is very steep and windy, so be prepared to take it slow, and if that kinda driving makes you nervous, you might want to reconsider this spot.
There are not many flat spots for tents, but there is a rake there, and I made a nice spot for a 3 person tent just below the main camp spot.
Tipi Ravens Nest in the Mojave
in Mojave Desert Ranch, NevadaSandi has thought of everything to make your stay as easy as possible. You can just roll up, and relax. It can be a bit noisy, sleeping in the tipi, if it is windy, so bring ear plugs.
Ranchito Feliz
in Ranchito Feliz, UtahDiamond in the rough!
What a treat this place is! Small, but private, and Roy is an amazing host! He is one of a kind. The property is centrally located to some of the best things Utah has to offer. You can stay here, and day trip, for as long as you can be away! I highly recommend driving the scenic byways around here. They will not disappoint!
Zion Wright Family Ranch-ecocamping
in Zion Wright Ranch Eco-Camp, UtahThis place is amazing! I would recommend bringing netting of some sort, though, because we got ate up by no-see-ums!!! Other than that everything was great!
Tipi Ravens Nest in the Mojave
in Mojave Desert Ranch, NevadaSierra Sol Diva Den
in Solis Family Farm, CaliforniaSo many amenities to make your stay comfortable: sauna, outdoor clawfoot bathtub, outdoor kitchen, etc. The vibe is really relaxed, and easy going. Jay, our host, was very helpful and welcoming.
Meadow View
in Ascension Ranch, CaliforniaAlways a pleasure!
Everyone’s Favorite Desert oasis
in Everyone’s Favorite Desert oasis, CaliforniaI tried to communicate with the hosts 3 times throughout the day, before my arrival, but didn’t receive a response. Upon arrival, there wasn’t anything at the coordinates, so I drove around, but couldn’t find anything. I left and got a hotel room. This was really disappointing.
The hosts have contacted me, after the fact, offered a refund and 2 nights stay for free. That is nice, but better communication and signage are needed at this site.
Sierra Circles Sculpture Garden
in Sierra Circles Sculpture Garden, CaliforniaThe sites are spacious, and the property is scattered with art installations . Michel is a very responsive host. I stayed in site #4, and think that one is the best. The composting toilets were clean, and close to all the campsites. All of the sites are right next to the dirt road, and across the street from one another, so it had a bit of a domestic feeling as opposed to being out in nature. There are many caves nearby to explore, and a few lakes. Cougar rock was a really great hike nearby.
Sierra Sol Diva Den
in Solis Family Farm, CaliforniaEverything you could want, and more
Deja's property is a great place to get out in nature, but still enjoy amenities. The outdoor bath tub was incredibly relaxing. The kitchen is fun to cook in, and has everything you need to make any meal. The sauna takes quite a bit of effort to get up to temperature, but well worth it, if you have the time. The location is great with easy access to the Yuba and Nevada City. I had a great time just relaxing on the property, and enjoying myself. I will definitely be coming back, in the future.
