Raw Deal Ranch

Lovely quiet stay under the stars

Lucked out with a beautiful clear night despite local fires blazing (not too close!). Humbling to see the recovering devastation from fires in years past. Welcoming and kind host, would happily stay again if back in the area.

Lovely stay in Redding

We had a lovely stay in Redding with ShastaDi & hubby. We really appreciated them opening up their farm to us. Our little daughter loved it too & still asks after them & the sheep.

Great stay

Awesome place to stay and such nice hosts. Very thankful I got to stay here.

Good Deal at Raw Deal

ShastaDi was a supper host.......we parked in their driveway and chatted for several hours. The conversation touched on camping, travel clubs, cycling in Eorope, and of course the devastating fire and firenado that swept through their property and the Redding area in 2018. Very facinating and resilient folks...... we wish you both all the best that life has to offer you as you plan your future.

Thanks for hosting!

The folks over at the Raw Deal Ranch welcomed us and showed us where to pull in our rig. They offered water and electric and the use of their patio. Super friendly couple who also gave us some tips about what to do in the area and where to eat. The area was devastated by fire last year but is starting to recover with lots of new housing being built and the flora coming back. Very close to Whiskeytown lake. Thanks for being such wonderful hosts and a great addition to the BDW community.

exhausted

I was exhausted when I arrived at their lovely home. They hooked me up and I went to lay down. Slept well in their cool driveway!

Great hosts, very welcoming.

My hosts helped me park on a level spot. They offered me a 120V electrical connection, which I accepted, and water, which I did not need. They are very nice people. Their area was in a very big fire in 2018, but their house was spared. The parking spot is on level concrete and a slightly sloped paved driveway. It isn't too far from I-5. There are two ways to get there; the directions they gave and the one my rig's navigation wanted me to go.

A warm welcome for this Australian couple

A truly hot welcome from these Boondockers in Redding. The mercury soared to 111 degrees just for us!
Yes, it was a pleasant stay with Tim and Dianna. It was a first hand experience of the 2018 bush fires, and the effects on peoples lives. We enjoyed our time there
Thanks

Beautiful and Relaxing place. Great Hosts

We stayed for a night on our way from Southern California to Portland. After being on the road for 12 hours with lunch and gas stops, their home was perfect for us to park for the night. Despite the fire damage from last year throughout the whole of Shasta/Redding, you see people re-building, and you see the forest trying to grow back all over. It is beautiful and quiet.

They have a circle drive way but it is too small for a large rig to get all the way around so we pulled around as much we could and simply backed out in the morning, that all worked out very well and they were a great help.

The hosts are absolutely wonderful people. Very friendly and we very much enjoyed their hospitality and company. Highly recommend this location and this couple.

Quiet, peaceful

I really enjoyed my night’s stay at Raw Deal Ranch. The hosts are friendly and will make you feel right at home the moment you meet them. Their property is quiet and peaceful. I would highly recommend them!

Warm Welcome

ShastaDi was so warm and welcoming to me and my daughters from the moment we connected. They were so kind and genuine during our stay, I felt like we were staying with family! I definitely look forward to staying with them again on our next journey through their area. Thank you again!

Amazing, courageous people - hope to return to the area someday

ShastaDi have been welcoming and gracious to open up their ranch to share with fellow boondockers. They kept in constant communication with us while coping with the Wildfires that destroyed much of the area they live in. They are safe and last I heard the sheep are safe. I am hoping all who have had the privilege of staying with them or all who will yet stay with them will send positive energy their way as they work to recover from the devastating 'Carr' fires.

Nice stay

Just outside of Redding. Quiet and peaceful. Easy access and very level. Nice property. Mike and Diane could not be any nicer!!!

Awesome Hosts, Excellent Stay!!

We seriously had such a great time with ShastaDi! Their propety is lovely, they’re welcoming, generous, and thoughtful hosts! we would have stayed longer if we could have and hope to come back someday. thank you so very much!!!
