About No. Columbia Off-Grid Homestead
A hot spot in the Gold Rush, our property once was a 1850 homestead, a 1970 back to the land artist's dream. A stone mason built the main cabin, renovated by my stair builder/musician father and artist/chef mother and I built the straw bale cabin. It's an wildlife highway with coyotes, foxes, red tailed hawks, bears, mountain lion, deer, jackrabbits, and lots of birds. I love to share it with HipCampers! Learn more about this land: Nestle into our woods next to water tanks, with easy access flat camping spots. All Corners property is unusual in that it has meadows, grey pine ecosystems as well as mixed conifer fir/pine/madrone forests. Walk to Ring of Bone Zendo, Mini local neighborhood playground and trails on BLM property. 3 miles from North Columbia Schoolhouse, 4 miles from Ananda Village, close to Malakoff Diggins State Park. A very quiet place to stage your Yuba Watershed adventure. Mountain biking and hiking on dirt roads, lots of wildlife. You'll start your slowed-down adventure as soon as you drive 3 miles down Jackass Flats road, through historic mining areas and into a literary 'hood that has homed Gary Snyder, Allen Ginsberg and Governor Moonbeam.

Super easy and quiet spot to camp; sweet and welcoming hosts and pups! Fresh water right at the site, flush toilet and shower down the hill (hot water is iffy, but gets you clean!) Recommend!
We loved Samantha’s spot! The site is very private and the secluded property makes you feel like you’ve got the forest to yourself. Running water right there, plenty of fire wood around, and a short walk to a full-service bathroom! Don’t forget to say hi to the host and her sweet dogs. You won’t regret staying here!
This was a last minute reserve, for late at night, but it was perfect. Easy directions to the spot. Just note you might not have reception when you get there to contact the host. So make sure you screenshot instructions. Waking up here was so peaceful and beautiful. Hidden gem. Thank you! Loved the doggie-love. Since we came after dark, it was a bit hard to find the bathroom/shower getting in. So we decided to wait til morning.
We loved tent camping under the starts and in the middle of the woods on Samantha’s land. The view was beautiful and directions were clear. It was our 10 month baby first experience camping, we had access to the bathroom, water just right there, picnic table and the shower was a plus ! We were looking for an experienced just like this ! Family friendly and safe overall. We will definitely come back! Thanks Samantha and son for such a good welcome and let us collect memories in your site.
Lovely area, the dogs are super sweet, and the sky is incredible at night! Samantha was super communicative with us as well!
