You can visit the historical Empire Mine, The National Hotel, or the Nevada Theater (the first Theater in California). Or just chill up here. It's nice and quiet! Enjoy the simplicity and privacy that a public campground doesn't offer. Earth Castle is also a great place for groups! Plenty of space! We can support pull-through sites for RVs, space for Tents, and room for multiple cars. Your host is passionate about stewarding this beautiful land. She is an author and Evolutionary Astrologer. Interested in having an astrology reading while you are here? Message Anna-Thea and, schedule permitting, she would love to give you a reading!

I spent my 40th birthday with 3 friends and my dog on this property! We had such a great time! Anna-Thea was very welcoming and was around to answer any questions (and bring us a can opener!), but definitely gave us our privacy. The yurt was a great space to sleep or play cards or do some yoga. There is plenty of room for multiple cars and tents. The space is private but is in view of the her house and the private dirt road. I’ve done a lot of backpacking and dispersed camping so totally fine with the toilet situation, but if you need a flushing toilet this is probably not the site for you. La…
Anna-Thea’s place is an amazing Glamping option so close to the Bay Area! The yurt is well appointed and provides an oasis for a rejuvenating weekend. We loved it! Anna-Thea is an amazing host and we couldn’t thank her enough!
Great spot off the beaten path! Friendly host and amazing stars at night!
Our stay on Anna-Thea's property was excellent! The yurt was very clean and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. There was a heat wave in the area when we stayed, but the fan provided in the yurt kept us cool. Anna-Thea was an excellent, but non-intrusive host. She made sure she was available for anything that we needed (which we didn't because she had thought of everything). The setting of the property is gorgeous, just close enough to Grass Valley and Nevada city. We would recommend checking out Edwards Crossing on the Yuba river.
Loved this amazing slice of nature! Bonus, my partner and I were able to experience a Partner Astrology Reading! OMG. A must do!
