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 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 will allow it. We out heaping amounts of privacy or hospitality as we know how to read the room. 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. Musick Creek borders on a Nature Conservancy, The Musick Creek Confluence. Since nearly all proceeds from your support go to the preservation of the area and its ecosystem, It is crucial that we respect our downstream neighbors. Unfortunately, there was an incident where a large family had trash blowing downstream. I know that this is not the norm for Hipcampers. As we are the most respectful and best looking of all the camping crowd. Though some are better at the leave no trace policy than others. It is critical that we deposit all trash into the receptacle. There are garbage bins for your use next to the shipping container, and one can be put at your site upon request. Sasquatch has been known to rip the limbs clean out of the sockets of campers he/she/it has suspected of littering. I scolded the squatch one year bravely, I mustard up the courage to look him is his glowing eyes and demand he return those arms immediatly but when he/she/it tried handing back the arms to the campers... well Im sure you can see the problem there. 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. Timber rattlers get huge and are green. Now if you've ever seen a pissed off rattlesnake coiled up and ready to strike, these are not them. They are not responsible for any bites dog or human year in and year out. I steped on a big one at night and it looked at me like it could not believe how rude and clumbsy I was to the point I took my hat off and apologized red cheeked and ashamed Now The Golden Bears or these new hybrid species that are caused from big bears having to migrate south due to environmentalism and bigger bears are mating with smaller bears making new species They will eat your skin first while the rest of you watches! Lol Im so only totally mostly kidding 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. There is absoloutly nothing I wouldnt do for you, and while you are my guests you are under mine and the forest protection. Protection from bordom , cold, hunger ,danger , mechanical mishap and Dick Cheney ,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.

Rain or shine - this is the place!

My friends and I had an amazing camping experience at Musick Creek Falls! The natural beauty of the area is absolutely stunning, with peaceful waterfalls and scenic trails that make it a perfect escape into nature. My host, Shandie, was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The site was well-maintained, and the overall vibe was serene and relaxing. I highly recommend Musick Creek Falls for anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful, tranquil setting with a fantastic host! We will absolutely be re-booking!

Lower Falls

Wonderful stay

Musick creeks falls was absolutely amazing. Shandie is an awesome host and is very responsive to any messages. There are two bars of cellular service at the lower creek falls campsite and is right down the hill from where her and her partner stay. So messaging them is no issue. Campsite is 30 minutes away from town, supplies, and gas stations. Awesome stay. Will definitely be back.

Lower Falls

Great, beautiful little gem of a campsite. The scenery was beautiful and Shandie and her partner do a great job maintaining the land. They are very hospitable and accommodating with whatever you need. Was colder than expected and they did their best to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed to stay warm. They even split wood for us to make sure we could start our fire properly. Would definitely come back.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE ⭐️

our recent camping trip was nothing short of SPECTACULAR! My family & I set off looking for a weekend escape into nature, and this spot exceeded every expectation. From breathtaking waterfalls to the warm hospitality of our hosts, every aspect of this experience was memorable & soo special! The campsite was nestled in a lush, peaceful setting that immediately felt like a sanctuary. The surrounding trails led us through dense forests and opened up to stunning waterfalls, where we spent hours just taking in the views.The sounds of the falls and the beauty around us created such a calming vibe, making it easy to unwind and connect with nature. The campsite itself was clean, well-maintained & thoughtfully arranged. Our tent spot had the perfect sight of the waterfall. It was spacious and well-equipped with a picnic table &fire pits, which made cooking and hanging out by the fire so easy. But what truly set this place apart was the generosity & warmth of our hosts Shandie & Jesse. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome, sharing tips on the best trails & waterfalls. They went above & beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, even providing extra sleeping supplies! Their kindness & attention to detail made us feel right at home! All in all, this was the perfect escape for our family. Between the gorgeous scenery, the adventure of the waterfalls & incredible hospitality, we left musick creek very grateful for our experience. We can’t wait to come back!!!!
