Lazy G Ranch Creekside Camping Retreat
16077 Armstrong Rd, Mountain Ranch, CA
Lazy G Ranch Creekside Camping Retreat sits on a 1,200-acre property at 16077 Armstrong Road in Mountain Ranch, California, in the heart of Calaveras County's historic Mother Lode region. The retreat offers three creekside campsites, individually bookable through Hipcamp and Airbnb, each with its own path down to the stream, a picnic table, and a barbecue grill, plus shared restrooms, a large fire pit, and a pavilion on the grounds.
The setting is low-key and quiet, a short drive from the small Gold Rush-era downtown of Murphys, with a six-mile hiking loop right off the campsite and Calaveras Big Trees State Park about twenty minutes away for those who want a longer hike. For riders working the Sierra foothill roads around Calaveras County, the property offers a rustic, streamside alternative to the area's larger commercial RV parks.
