Located in Lake County, the community was named for nearby Christmas Lake. Today it is a dry lakebed located near Silver Lake. Christmas Lake (and nearby Peter's Sink and Peter's Creek) are connected to pioneer Peter Christman, who had a home in Silver Lake and grazed his cattle in the area. Playing off the novelty of the areas name, a developer in the 1960s laid out the entire Christmas Valley community complete with street names like Candy Lane and Mistletoe Road. An artificial lake (today known as Baert Lake) was built as part of the planned community, along with a golf course, lodge, airport, and rodeo grounds.

Lake County encourages using renewable energy as part of your property, so consider setting up your acreage with solar power, geothermal heating and cooling, or alternative fuel options like biomass. While you cannot live on the property in an RV, mobile homes are allowed, and you can camp in either for short periods of time with a permit. Mobile homes older than 1976 require a conditional use permit (CUP). Ready to set up camp in Christmas Valley? Give us a call today!
