Welcome to Windsong Ridge, an LGBTQ-friendly evolving homestead on 25 acres of oak, pine, and manzanita woodland about 30 minutes outside of the historic gold rush towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City in Nevada County, CA. The property overlooks the iconic South Yuba River canyon and is 100% solar-powered and off grid with excellent cell coverage (Verizon and T-Mobile). Come be serenaded by the wind chimes throughout the property. Enjoy sitting by a fire (when it's not wildfire season) and you may hear the coyotes in the distance after a day of swimming, hiking, paddling, site-seeing or attending one of the many festivals held throughout the year in town. We are at 1800 feet, therefore the summers are hot (sometimes in the triple digits), and winters are mild (snow is a surprising event at this elevation). We have developed an RV/tent site called Manzanita Rock Meadow (includes a wood-burning chiminea, composting toilet, trash, grill, and tables), with a pad for a van, RV and/or tent and plenty of room to spread out and set up camp. Our more developed site, called Laughing Buddha, is closer to our residents’ compound and welcomes vans, RVs or tents and has a gorgeous large deck with a fire pit and two outdoor rocking chairs. Hike the adjacent trails on public lands or enjoy hiking trails in the state park along the Yuba River. Bring your kayak or paddle board to Englebright Lake at any time of year. In less than two hours, you can visit Truckee, Lake Tahoe, or the Sierra Buttes/Lakes Basin areas and much more. In town you will find a variety excellent restaurants, farmers markets, live entertainment and wildly popular events throughout the year. We’ll be happy to help you plan your visit! (Start by checking out https://www.nevadacountygold.com/ and https://gonevadacounty.com/) We keep bags of instant light charcoal available for sale if you need it for $5. A bundle of firewood is available for $5 as well.

Manzanita Rock Meadow
We loved camping on Galen's land. We loved the privacy and the setup. Lots of space for our four dogs to roam around and explore without getting in anyone's way. The little set up that was there with the table, barbecue, and overhead solar lights was perfect. While the turn into the space was a little bit tight I really appreciated that the landing for my pop-up tent trailer was very flat and we did not have to do much adjusting to be level. If you are looking for seclusion and a peaceful place this is a great stop. The directions to get up there were fantastic and clear. The closest water play area is about a 15 minute drive from the campsite.

Perfect Respite Spot
We loved Galen’s beautiful campsite. We enjoyed the close proximity to S Yuba River and Galen gave us great information about the area and where to go for SUPing. This is a safe, secure site that has great energy, I highly recommend and we plan on revisiting sometime soon. Thank you, Galen!

Manzanita Rock Meadow
Peaceful hideaway on the Yuba
We had such a great night camping at Manzanita Rock meadow. The camp was really well maintained with handy tables and even some cute fairy lights. The location felt secluded and peaceful, the night sky was beautiful there. What made this campout so smooth and special, was Galen! She was so helpful with local tips and recommendations for enjoying the river, going out of her way to improve our stay. Would most definitely return. Thank you Galen!

Loved the site! Serene, beautiful views, great spot for a hammock. We arrived and everything was clean, wood that we had ordered was ready for us, as was the hammock. Communication was easy, kind and flexible
