Family Sierra Trailer ☆ Sunsets over Sawtooth

Welcome to Paradise Shores, we're happy you found us! Here at PS, we believe in reconnecting people to the simple pleasures of life in a no-frills, peaceful, camp like setting. The Sierra sleeps five comfortably. With queen size bed, two bunk beds, and a play area that turns into king size bed, there's plenty of room for everyone. We hope this camper becomes your home while adventuring in the Sierra. The space PLEASE NOTE: After eleven wonderful years, we say goodbye to Paradise Shores, as we hope to continue our search for new horizons and new adventures that await us. We are grateful for many many memories that we will cherish forever. The family we have chosen to take over could not be better suited to the challenge. Peter and Kate have passion and commitment to further the Paradise project into areas we can only imagine. We are happy to know they're committed to maintaining the same standards, character and welcoming community vibe that we put our hearts into creating and nourishing over the years. We believe in campfires, starry nights, good laughs, exploration, a deep sleep and an early rise. The mountains are a place to get back to basics, a place to explore, to breathe. So turn off your phone and turn on your senses. When you arrive we won’t hand you a list of rules but we may ask you to join us for a campfire, remind you to conserve water, and to separate your trash so we can recycle it. That’s about it, oh yeah: relax, it’s your vacation. It’s important to us that our guests don’t feel they are renting a camper as much as they’re immersing themselves into the outdoor experience. You may just want to lounge outside and read for days. For the more adventurous, there's a full slate of self-guided recreational activities such as hiking, kayaking, fishing, ATVing, rock climbing, biking, natural water slides, stand up paddle boards, bird watching, campfires & s'mores. We do have modern conveniences such as wifi internet; however, we encourage our guests to “unplug” and immerse in the slow paced life instead. We constantly improve and update the decor in our campers in effort to make your stay more pleasant and memorable (after all, this may be your first ever RV living experience!). We hope you enjoy and appreciate some changes and finishing touches that may not have been captured in the photo gallery above. Note: Please read the entire listing description, including the Covid-19 update, prior to requesting the booking. THE SIERRA TRAILER: This trailer sleeps five comfortably.

Spring is here, flowers are out, birds are chirping and we have been working hard to ensure our camp is ready for the 2021 season. This is still a new reality we all are getting used to, please be kind and mindful while at the camp and adventuring in the area, respecting others’ space and maintaining the safe distance. We truly appreciate your flexibility and understanding. We understand the concerns around the virus and would like to share with you the steps we are taking to ensure a safe, relaxing environment for all our guests and staff: * Hand soaps, sanitizers, and disinfectants are available in all common areas for regular use. * We recommend using the private bathroom facilities in your camper. Our public restrooms are closed to guests staying in their own RVs but will be available to guests staying in our rental campers, at tent sites or in camper vans / small trailers without a bathroom. * No need to check-in in person. Your welcome information, any latest updates, and check-in details will be emailed to you within a week prior to the arrival. For everyone’s safety, we ask you to please: * Please be respectful of the maximum occupancy in the rentals, as stated in the listing. Infants, children, and adults all count as one. * Starting June 15th, the face masks are not required outdoors. We will still ask you to wear them when inside our public restrooms, except when taking a shower or washing your face. * Please keep a safe distance from anyone that isn’t in your traveling party, including other guests and PS team members. * Consider getting your supplies before coming to our community. Now more than ever it is important to spend time connecting in the great outdoors. We are excited to welcome you, and are ready to share campfires, starry nights, and our serene area with you. The mountains are a place to get back to basics, a place to explore, to breathe. It is a place where social distancing happens naturally. This is a great opportunity to be together in Nature and not to be isolated at home. Together (from a safe distance) we will remain healthy, positive, and strong! As we welcome people to our home, we would love to know who our guests are (via the "vibe" of their profile: photos, description, previous reviews, if any etc). We do understand though that this may be your first time booking via AirBnB. In case you haven't already, please add a photo of yourself and short description giving us a feel of who you are, what you're passionate about, what you enjoy doing in your free time etc., and verify your profile with the government ID. Please let us know who will be joining you on the adventure. Is it going to be your first RV living experience? First time in the Eastern Sierra? What has drawn you to our RV camp? We look forward to hearing from you and meeting you! We only accept requests from guests with fully completed and verified profiles. Please don't request our place if you're not willing to truly be part of AirBnB community. We're so grateful for all the wonderful travelers we've been able to connect with and host over the years thanks to AirBnB! Taxes, like death, are unavoidable. Our rates include 12% Transit Occupancy Tax (TOT) that is mandatory for any guests staying in Mono County for less than 31 days. Please keep in mind that some of the mountain passes - Tioga Road (main road to Yosemite – HWY 120), Sonora Pass (HWY 108), and Monitor Pass (HWY 89) don’t open until May or later, depending on the snowpack. Also, some of the passes can be closed during stormy weather. This is especially true in the spring and fall. Plan accordingly and always check CalTrans info before traveling. Our camp is located on the Bridgeport Reservoir and we cannot control nor guarantee the water level. It varies greatly, based on the snow pack and time of year. Typically, the lake’s edge will recede as the season progresses. So, if you are coming later in the season (late August onwards), you should expect the water level to be lower. With that said, the views and our sunsets are still breathtaking! :-) Regarding the pets, we love them all and you will see some adventure pups at the camp but they're not allowed in this camper. At Paradise Shores, we believe in protecting people, animals and the planet. We make sure that the majority of products we use at our camp is recycled, composted or re-used. * We strive to reduce the amount of waste we generate and actively promote recycling of aluminum, plastic, glass, and cardboard. We pack our own recycling and haul it to the nearest recycling facility. * We don’t use individually packaged toiletries or one-use products. * Essential oils are used to clean our campers. * We use plant and planet friendly detergent. We live in the desert. We share our precious water with the entire planet. With only 326 million cubic miles of water on the earth, the decreasing amounts of access to quality fresh water is alarming to us. We monitor how we use water in our day-to-day life and are constantly working on ways to reduce our consumption of fresh water. * The water used to wash our linens and towels is recycled to irrigate the numerous gardens on our property. * In all the campers, we provide our guests with “plant friendly” cleaning products. By only using eco friendly products, we are able to use the kitchen and shower’s water to irrigate our gardens. We hope you can help us maintain the greener camping!
