Musick Creek Falls is 40 acres and lies just south of Shaver Lake. At an elevation of, 4800 feet (1.46 km). The land is in a green and lush state of regrowth following the Creek Fire four years ago. Exhibiting novel and intriguing wildflowers such as Sierra Manzanita, sweet peas, Indian paintbrush, and cedars. The terrain is natural, beautiful, and rugged. This property boasts three exquisite cascading waterfalls, hiking trails, rock climbing, mountain biking, and stargazing opportunities. With proximity to Shaver Lake and China Peak Ski Resort, you are just minutes from any outdoor activity imaginable. Including, but not limited to, hiking, water and snow skiing, fishing, boating, stargazing, and sooo much more. The road into the property, although being maintained by us and the community, is still a dirt and gravel road. There are a few potholes and water bars. If you've rented a new Lamborghini, you should probably park on the asphalt, or use the Helicopter pad. The spigot provides excellent spring water. The water is flown in daily, condensed against Musick Mountain and filtered through acres of underground granite aquifers, where the minerals are added, raising the PH to around 9. The high PH helps rid the body of pollutants. I feel it is essential to the whole Musick Creek experience. We want you to leave here healthier and happier than when you arrived. There is trash and a composting outhouse on site. My wife and I stay here on site as long as the dog allows us to serve out heaping amounts of privacy or hospitality. Please explore everywhere. Be sure to check out all three waterfalls and Shaver Lake. Don't stay gone too long, though, as just about every night, there is an unforgettable sunset and the sounds and smells of the Sierra Nevada. The experience is supernatural. There is powerful medicine here, and it is undeniable. The weather is very mild most of the year, where a sweatshirt is perfect most nights and not too hot during the day We have kayaks available for use free of charge. Musick Creek Falls offers an affordable option compared to campgrounds and cabins in the area, which are often booked up and very expensive. Most cell phones have good reception throughout the property. We also have spare tents, camping gear, blankets, etc. if you forget something. Please be courteous to our neighbors, as the golden rule is the law of the land. We appreciate your support more than you know, and we are thrilled to share this amazing place with our Hipcamp community. Please be careful during your stay. Rocks can be slick in the water, and when the moon is small, it is very dark. Some nights can be cold, and there are timber rattlers that share the space with us. Timber rattlers are the most timid and shy of all rattlesnakes. If you are too close, they will give you a polite couple of shakes, indicating that they are merely passing through and would appreciate some space. Please be advised that in the winter months of December through April, there will be no host on site, and access will be limited as weather permits. For more info, visit https://musickcreekfalls.com. I just have to add, for anybody still reading, that Hipcampers are truly an amazing group of people. Maybe it's just that I get to meet you when you're on Vacation and down for anything, but I have not met a single Hipcamper I didn't like, which is incredible as I live out in the wilderness because I don't like people. You all have given me a renewed sense of community, and I am grateful for you all. If you are friends of the falls, then you are my family. What's mine is yours, and the Falls is ours. The responsibility of preserving this place and this planet belongs to all of us as well. Thank you for your support, and thank you for being you, exactly as you are.

Musick Cove

Amazinf

Shandie & Jesse absolutely were the best host we have ever had. The space itself is pure mother earth and we had the best experience ever. I would give more stars I'd possible as this was hands down the best experience regardless of campsite or other that my family and myself had ever had. Accommodations thoughtfulness and love from the Flores family.

Camping by a Waterfall

Loved the site! It’s peaceful and tranquil. Shandie is an amazing host. She came down and cut some branches off a tree so they weren’t in our way! We will be coming back!

Midway Lookout

Gorgeous site! Friendly host, clean outhouse. Magick Falls are sweet and pretty. The wildfire damage around the property is a bit apocalyptic.

Lower Falls

Best camping spot ever.

I Loved the camping area. My family and I had an amazing time at Lawer Falls. We took a trailer there. The water in the falls was very clean. We got to spot a deer and some other small animals. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. They waited for us to give us info. About the place. They were very accommodating with the space for camping. My kids think that this was the best spot for camping ever, with no people around us. We will definitely come back again.

Midway Lookout

Serene and secluded gem

Camping at Shandie’s place was amazing. There were so many waterfalls near the sites and falling asleep to the sound of water was relaxing. The views were great. The toilet was clean, the water was refreshing and the hosts were accommodating. We’ve never had such a big site to camp on, we couldn’t see anyone from our site. So peaceful! I highly recommend staying here.

Musick Cove

Scramble around local waterfalls

After 3 nights at Shaver Lake, as the weekend brought lots of people and crowded beaches, it was so great to wrap up our camping trip in the solitude of this spot right up next to a beautiful waterfall. Out of the 3 sites, we had the one at the foot of the upper falls…it was loud…but we loved it. Camped in hammocks. During the day we scampered all around the series of rocks and waterfalls, in near perfect solitude. Shandie welcomed us warmly and showed us the way around. Wish we had another night to burn there. So relaxing.
