Guests who stay here describe it as a magical experience to be on this 2.5-acre forest retreat with a year-round spring fed creek running through it.
Camp sites are beautifully groomed pads with 6’x 8’ walk in tent cabins. Views onto Love Creek and into the lush canyon are accompanied by the sound of falling water.
An outdoor bathroom with shower is available for our guests on the property.
At dusk, the artful solar lighting awakens.
Surrounded by the vast forest acreage makes this into a unique Off-Grid Island enclave.
Its proximity to HWY-4, just 5 paved minutes away, with a 'Day'O' coffee shop at the corner and the fantastic Red Apple bakery with its daily fresh baked goods down the road gives your off-grid experience, choices. The Arnold supermarket is a short 8-minute drive and 70+ tasting rooms with excellent restaurants and shopping just 13 minutes away in Murphys. Big Trees State Park with its wonderful Sequoia groves is a 10-minute drive. For a swim choose one of the many mountain lakes like Utica reservoir, Lake Alpine or close by White Pines Lake just 5 miles away.
We are only 1 mile from the end of the pavement and hundreds of gravel road miles. Attention mountain bikers, Jeepers and electric bicyclers.
