  • Working Ranch Safety and Expectations

    Basecamp Lassen is a working ranch comprised of land that we are striving hard to regenerate as well as wild open space. It is located in a remote area with no food, gas, or basic medical services in the immediate vicinity. The natural area has wildlife and many other natural hazards. You may encounter rattlesnakes, mountain lions, bears, coyotes, and other predators as well as rocks, fast-moving water, holes in the ground, etc. Working livestock may be present. Guests should expect large farm equipment to be in operation on the land during their stay. Guests should be aware of their surroundings, keep dogs on a leash, and keep small children close by. An adult representative must sign a liability waiver for their own self/family (provided before check-in).

  • Rules and Important Notes

    Internet is available, though weather may impact availability. We ask guests to limit streaming to one device at at a time, and refrain from using internet-based video games as our bandwidth is limited monthly.

    Guests are welcome to bring fishing gear and bicycles. Guests may use our canoe and kayak at their own risk in the pond. Children under 16 must be supervised at all times.

    All guests are welcome to fish our pond stocked with Mt. Lassen rainbow trout (catch and release). Guests may use all on-property trails and the game hall amenities.
