The Lake View Tree House

Highly recommend!

Great property and an awesome stay! The treehouse and surrounding camping area was perfect for our large group, giving us privacy, open space, great views, and amenities that were really added to the experience. There's a small kitchenette area with a functional sink and mini-fridge that made cooking super easy. A shower and porter potty exclusive to our campground. The days get HOT in Aug/Sept, the site has some shade but a canopy was great to have to get out of the sun. Luckily the lake was a great reprieve and had kayaks and a few lifevests for use as well. The walk to the lake is longer than expected, so it is easier to drive down if you're able but be mindful that once you get past the gravel road, you definitely should have a vehicle with more ground clearance and AWD/4x4. Bring some good water shoes since the shoreline of the lake is made up of very jagged rock. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend! Thanks Jeremy!

The Painted Tents

We loved our stay! The campsite was a stones throw from the lake and we loved waking up to the beautiful horses meandering through the campsite. Very peaceful and not crowded! The site was clean and Jeremy was super helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back!

The Lake View Tree House

Beautiful view, friendly hosts

Friendly people and friendly animals. Lovely view and a perfect swim in the lake. While rustic, the shower was spectacular too - instantly warm and with a view of the lake and mountains.

Camp Parking - Horse & Lake View

Very unique experience

One of a kind property and great host. Ready to serve! Awesome views of Lake Melones. Lake access. Friendly farm animals and chickens. Once in a lifetime opportunity. I would recommend. AWD/4WD recommended for the lower campsite.

Camp Parking - Horse & Lake View

Such a fun spot to camp! The walk to the water is fairly steep, but worth the effort for a quiet private beach area. Fresh eggs each morning, and lots of enjoyable chicken viewing. Will be back!

The Lake View Tree House

They have a lil gem of a place here! The treehouse had an amazing view of the lake and the hills. All the animals were an added bonus! And the outhouse with the shower was awesome, taking a shower overlooking those views! Can't wait to come back!
