Beautiful, shady, friendly host
It's a privilege to camp on this beautiful land treasured in a family for generations. Ron made me feel very welcome and made sure I had everything I needed for a nice stay. I loved swimming in the pond and hanging out under the trees near it - a shady, cool spot on a 95F day. The creek is also a beautiful, shady spot to explore. The campsite itself is very private, out of sight and very nearly out of hearing from the only other campsite. Plenty of shade there, too. The skies were dark enough that I could see the Milky Way at night. I took a day trip up into Lassen Volcanic National Park - it's a 2 hour drive, but a beautiful one. I look forward to going back to Maple Creek for future camping trips, alone or with friends and family.
This was my first time camping solo, and I felt completely safe and secure. I even left the rain fly off my tent to watch the stars overnight.
