Disclaimer: this is not a state park campground or an Airbnb, this is an off grid Homestead and I have lots of junk lying around such as tools, materials, equipment, etc., if this is not your style, please do not book. The directions provided by Hipcamp are not accurate. Please contact me the day before your listing and I will provide directions. 12 Acres in the Redwoods. Creekside. We have a private driveway with lots of secluded Space. lots of chickens usually an endless supply of eggs for breakfast. Small campfires available. Cabin renters have access to Hot showers, wood-burning stove, kitchen amenities and running water. Porta potty only The cabins are located Away from our living area. Main cabin is overlooking the creek and the tent sites, creekside cabin is down near the swimming hole and tent sites. Tent sites are located next to the creek or up near the community fire pit. This is our home, it is private, eclectic and filled with natural beauty. That being said, it is by no means pristine. We have the occasional junk pile like most off grid homesteaders do. We do not throw out some things that others would. We try to find a use for old and weathered equipment and materials. Our cabin is built completely with recycled and reclaimed materials. Like I said, we do not like to waste anything, so you may notice a few parts and pieces laying around.

I loved camping at Thor’s homestead, the property is absolutely stunning, and the creek was very relaxing. I enjoyed everything about the space, and have already recommended it to a friend of mine. Make sure to grab some fresh eggs at 50cents each in the morning and say hello to the sweetest puppy Erol. Thor and Travis were amazing hosts, there when we arrived and very accommodating; they didn’t Hoover around too much which was nice too! 10/10 would recommend, and can’t wait to come back!

The campground was beautiful with a lovely creek! We enjoyed the scenery and calming environment. The waterhole was a nice touch. The chickens and puppy were very cute and the campground parking was nice. The portapotty was very clean too

The tent spaces by the water are the best, really nice and private however best to have a 4WD to get down to them. I have a 2WD and Thor and his Dad had a 4WD they brought down to Load up our stuff to drive it up to my car . There are free range chickens roosters ducks and turkey. They also have fresh laid eggs outside the coop for sale at 50 cents each . They also have a big ol friendly puppy . The rooster did wakes up up but easily able to fall back to sleep after the rooster stops or bring ear plugs Would have been great if there was a porta potty in the lower level and not just the one up the hill as well as an electricity extension cord to charge devices in the lower tent levels. Would return to this place to camp again

We loved our stay and will definitely be back. I had the best sleep listing to all of nature provide. Thor was also lovely as host.
