Pearl the Airstream
We loved our time at Bright Bear Camp! Kelley was very accommodating and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Pearl the airstream was picturesque and the property was great for the family to pitch a couple tents on. We'd love to come back.

Campsite 3 - Under the Trees
A Little Slice of Paradise
I loved tent camping at site #3 on Kelly's land! My sister and I took an impulsive trip to Tahoe, and we were drawn to Kelly's listing by the price, the views, and the positive reviews. Kelly provided us with detailed instructions on how to get there, and upon arrival, she showed us the well-maintained outdoor toilet and shower, as well as a separate locked bathroom, ensuring we knew how to use them. I haven’t visited many sites that offer such well-attended services!
Kelly also anticipated the arrival of mosquitos and kindly offered us a Thermacell, which was a lifesaver at our campsite. The location was just about an hour from South Lake Tahoe. I brought my dog, Calico Jack, and since it was his first time camping, I was a bit concerned. However, Kelly made us feel very welcome. I would definitely come back—perhaps next time, I’ll even rent the airstream on site! Exceeded my expectations greatly, and I am going to tell everyone I know about this site!

Campsite 2 - Across the Meadow
We loved this little spot! Quiet and tucked away. We were close to the bathroom and washing station which was convenient. We didn't need to, but there was a heated outdoor shower available to us as well.
Campsite had loads of space for our larger tipi tent. Bugs weren't that bad but the thermacell came in handy.

Campsite 2 - Across the Meadow
Perfect hideaway glamping!
Kelly had everything set up when we got there and was super nice! She explained everything very well and it was so awesome to not have to worry about setting anything up when we got there late, with the glamping package which was a springbar tent with a comfy bed, chair, and bedside table. Had cozy lights around the tent even! 50 feet or so from the site, there was a bathroom with running water in a private building, outside hot shower, and sink for dishes. You can even rent an airstream trailer nearby to this site!

Campsite 2 - Across the Meadow
Kelley has gorgeous property not far from Nevada City. It’s quiet, easily accessible, flat and well shaded. She was there upon arrival with a warm welcome and gives you a run down on the lay of the land and how everything works. There are multiple toilets on the property and a shower all functioning and well maintained. There’s storage to keep your food safe. She also has extra equipment you can rent at a reasonable price in case you forgot anything or want to step up your camping game. At night, little lights warm up the site and driveway adding to the ambiance and make navigating the property a breeze. You can also request to turn them off if you want to star gaze. I cannot recommend this spot enough. Kelley was incredibly hospitable and quick to answer any questions or requests. We had a great time and only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks again Kelley! Can’t wait to come back and stay in the container home she’s currently building.

Pearl the Airstream
Kelley was beyond welcomed and supported during our whole stay in her lovely airstream. Airstream itself is spotless clean and well organized. The communication with Kelley was easy and delightful, we enjoyed this outdoor experience without any hassle: fresh towels, clean plates & utensils, cooking pots and cleaning supplies are provided. If you want to cook outdoors definitely bring your own propane stove, you will be cook under some beautiful redwood.
I do agree with some reviews: the mosquito situation was quite irritating, making sure you bring some repellent to avoid getting some bites, but also keep in mind it’s summer time in the woods so it’s really hard to keep mosquitoes away.
