Meet Your Host

Hey! I’m Ganna, the co-founder of Basecaamp.

2 years ago I bike-packed from Los Angeles to New York, staying in campgrounds all over the country.

And while I loved being in nature, I kept feeling like something was missing…

I wanted the same nature, the same adventure, the same connection, but without the constant effort, without having to figure everything out, without that “survival mode” feeling.

When I came back to California, I wanted to create a space where you can be in the forest, go on hikes, sit by the fire with good people, jump into cold water, warm up in the sauna, get a massage, slow down, and actually feel like yourself again.

You just have to show up!

  • You’ll sleep in a quiet private forest by the lake. We provide very comfortable bedding, a full-size foam mattress, and an all-season setup. You’ll sleep like a baby.

  • Yes! You can absolutely come alone. Many people do. You can also come with friends or your partner and meet new people in the forest.

  • It’s as active as you want it to be. We offer easy to moderate hikes, but everything is optional and you take it at your own pace.
