Manzanita Rock Meadow

Welcome to Windsong Ridge, an 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 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). Manzanita Rock Meadow is a pad for a high clearance van, RV and/or tent with plenty of room to spread out and set up camp. More details are provided on our site description. - 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.
