It is on this property that I saw my first grouse. Also look for warblers-notably Audubon's and the Hermit Warblers- along with the White-headed Woodpecker. You will likely hear a Pileated Woodpecker and if you are lucky you will see one Learn more about this land: Welcome to Sugarpine Slopes. The Sugarpine has the longest cones in the world and many birds and mammals like the pine nuts and use the tree for habitat. This is a spring through fall place only. There is no winter access. The property is at 5800 feet.  Depending on the weather the road may close from Nov 15th to May 15th.  The road on the property is a dirt road.  All wheel drive or 4WD vehicles recommended although the lower section could be accessed by most vehicles. Shorter trailers allowed at Site A. Site 3 can also accommodate a small teardrop-style trailer The property is totally undeveloped at this time. It is a wildlife corridor for deer and bear (keep all food contained), the mountain quail and the blue grouse. Keep your eyes open for the Hermit Warbler, Audubon's Warbler, and our gorgeous visitor from the tropics the Western Tanager. You are likely to hear the Pileated Woodpecker and if you are lucky you will see it and its red crest in an undulating flight through the trees. The property has a lovely west facing slope which climbs gradually at first then more steeply to the top of the property. We have drive-in camping on the lower section.  There is one walk-in site at the top of the property. There is wonderful hiking nearby with several trailheads in the area within approximately 4 miles.  More information can be provided upon request.

Sunnyside Site A at Grouse Ridge
Beautiful secluded spot
Beautiful and secluded spot. Excellent for a quick weekend get away as a solo female traveler. I felt safe and slept like a rock.

Site 1 Sugar Daddy Tent Site
Great camping spot!
We enjoyed camping in this site. The instructions to find it were very clear. The site itself was clean and very spacious. Loved having access to the outhouse which was also clean and well maintained. We did hear music throughout the whole night some distance away from the site as if it was a concert or some venue, but it was far enough that the sound could be drowned out by our own sounds while camping, or while sleeping. I’d definitely return to this site.

Nice spot with a clean outhouse and space for a small-medium group. Make sure to bring plenty of water as there’s nowhere too close to refill.

Sunnyside Site A at Grouse Ridge
Helen's land and Sunnyside Site A were ideal for our quick overnight. We were just there to enjoy the Perseid meteor shower, and we couldn't have picked a quieter or more lovely spot. Helen was very helpful and responsive and even went out of her way to make sure the trail to Grouse Ridge was freshly marked for us. If you need a quiet place to get away, look no further. Highly recommended!
