Our Escape

1 site · RV5 acres · Clio, CA
Updated 9/2022. There is now only one spot available at our property to reserve as we seem to leave our trailer up there for most of the summer. The good news is you will have the place all to yourselves unless we happen to be there which is not very often and we will let you know if we overlap. This spot has a 30 amp RV plug and a sewer connection. There is no water or trash service so please bring your own water and practice pack in/pack out practices. This is a very quiet spot but does have a few neighbors within earshot so if you are planning on a party spot or having loud music this is not the spot for you. There is a large smoker/BBQ that is not maintained but is available for your use if you want, we have used it several times and it works great. There is also a firepit to use when fire season permits. We are only 4 miles from Graeagle, which is a great little town to explore and eat some ice cream in the park. There are many great lakes to explore in the immediate area including Lake Davis, Gold Lake, Upper Salmon Lake, and of course upper and lower sardine which are my favorites.

Flyte and Sparrow natural interlude

13 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents96 acres · Reno, CA
When you come to camp here you are on a working farm in transition. Girlfarm has been a local food go to for restaurants, farm family members, and regenerative agriculture interests. Today, the farm is looking forward to a new course in agri tourism as we begin planning walking gardens, art installations in the landscape, and interactive classes. If you would like a list of grass fed meats available, veggies, or herbs just text your host before arrival. We are looking for a seasonal self contained camper who we could offer trade for camp care - text host directly. Its been a huge water season so skeeters are around we also recommend tents have a rain fly and ground cloth. Welcome It was important to choose a partner like Hipcamp to invite like minded individuals who respect both the natural environment and the idea of less is more. At any time you may encounter farming activities, building out of tiny houses for future bookings, or gardens in the process of creation. As we move toward offering the land as a place to both find solitude or chosen participation our Flyte and Sparrow experience will hopefully be a place you will want to return to as your own tradition.

Camping near Sparks guide

Overview

East of Reno, Sparks offers a central location to surrounding state parks and lavish lakes. Take a short scenic drive to Lake Tahoe for clear waters, rugged trails, and iconic views—here, Lake Tahoe campers can pitch a tent waterside and then hike or bike along the crest of the Carson Mountain Range which connects to the 170-mile trail wrapping the lake. Between Tahoe and Sparks, Washoe Lake State Park features another pristine waterway in Washoe Valley wrapped with views of multiple mountain ranges. Journey north of Sparks to the picturesque Pyramid Lake, home to unique rock formations and unique Nevada history as well as lakefront camping accommodations for those who want to stay for a few days.

Where to go

Lake Tahoe

An hour south of Sparks sits Lake Tahoe-Nevada State Park. It features crystal clear waters, sandy beaches, boat launches, and renowned skiing hills. Sand Harbor, Memorial Point, Hidden Beach, and Spooner Lake provide convenient on-site camping with picnic tables, fire rings, and restrooms. Choose from frontcountry, backcountry, RV camping, or cabin rentals at other private campgrounds around the lake. Check out Flume Trail above Sand Harbour for a challenging yet stunning point-to-point mountain bike ride. Or hike a portion of the 170-mile Tahoe Rim Trail.

Pyramid Lake

On the Paiute Tribe Reservation, Pyramid Lake is one of the largest natural lakes in Nevada with deep blue waters and unique rock formations. Known for fishing, swimming, picnicking, and camping, the lake also offers two on-site campgrounds, Pelican Point and Shot Dog, with restrooms, picnic tables, and fire rings. Primitive campers can also try dry camping by the beach. Pyramid Lake Marina and Beach offers boat rentals, beach access, and a convenience store.

Washoe Lake State Park

Step into the scenic valley of Washoe Lake State Park with surrounding views of the Carson, Virginia, and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges. Enjoy hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, and water sports along sandy beaches and shady trees. On-site tent and RV camping are available year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with access to restrooms, showers, a dump station, water/utility hookups, and paid wifi. Hikers can then trek along the American Discovery Trail to experience the rugged landscapes of Nevada’s beautiful backcountry.
