  • Nearly wild camping 15 minutes’ drive from Shaver Lake in California
  • General Washington Tree and China Peak ski resort 45 minutes’ drive
  • Private sites with waterfall views and outdoor activities available
There’s remote and then there’s really remote. It could be said that Musick Creek Falls is in the latter category – really remote and utterly spectacular too. Staying here puts you on the edge of the Sierra Nevada range in California, 15 minutes’ drive from Shaver Lake and with 40 acres of stunning and virtually untouched land to explore. This is a magical spot for anyone looking for outdoor experiences from snow skiing, water skiing, hiking or fishing to rock climbing, mountain biking and stargazing – kayaks are free to use too. As well as being home to four awe-inspiring waterfalls and regular vibrant sunsets, Musick Creek Falls is also alive with wildflowers and cedar stands. The road into the property is dirt and gravel, with a few potholes, so negotiate it carefully. There are waste bins and a composting outhouse next to the shipping container, and decent mobile phone reception throughout the property. The owners have spare tents, camping gear and blankets if you forget something. Along with spectacular views, a few simple facilities at each pitch include firepits, gazebos and seating, otherwise you’re left very much to your own devices. Occasionally a shy timber rattlesnake might put in an appearance, and do be careful when wandering around at night; the terrain is steep and the rocks around the creek and waterfalls can get very slippery.

Local attractions

There are watersports galore available at Shaver Lake (15 minutes’ drive), where you can go jetskiing, boat racing or swimming, stick to the shoreline and fish for trout, salmon or bass, or simply soak up the sun on the beach. Learn about logging around the lake at the Museum of the Sierra (20 minutes), or check out the vast General Washington Tree, a giant sequoia at McKinley Grove (45 minutes). If you’re visiting in winter, China Peak Mountain Resort (also 45 minutes) is heaven for skiers and boarders, with a variety of slopes for all levels of ability. In summer, the resort doubles up as a mountain-biking park and disc golf course. Sitting on the San Joaquin River in the High Sierra, Mono Hot Springs (90 minutes) is known for its naturally heated pools full of health-giving minerals. Dinkey Lakes Wilderness (an hour and 15 minutes) is a pristine region of glacial lakes ringed with conifer forest and popular for its varied hiking routes.
