Surrounded by cooperate timberland, it feels like there are no neighbors! There is not a house in sight but the the ridge views seem to go on forever! - There is a simple latrine at each site. A full bath house with a flush toilet and hot shower is available next to the main house. A water spigot is attached to the main house. - Spare camping supplies are available by the bath house if you forget something! Ask ahead if you need to borrow a specific item. More about the property: I built my home high upon a southern ridge. Watching the river of coastal fog flow in and out below me is one of the most wonderful views to behold! I have 30 acres of land to explore and camp upon in the surrounding redwood forest. 10 miles east are Montgomery Woods redwood preserve with GIANT trees, and a little farther, perhaps a mile is the famous Orr Hot Springs Resort. If you drive a half hour west from my land you will be in the coastal Mendocino village. We are marijuana friendly!! Thus, we have created more of an adult oriented atmosphere. one last note: We recently made separate listings for different sites. See campsite #1 for reviews. Guests love staying here "What a fantastic experience. I arrived to Cosmo’s super late after a long day going up the coast. It was a last minute book that morning, if I remember right - my campsite had fallen through. His directions were spot on, and very kindly he stayed up to take me to my site and help me get set up, even going so far as to light me a fire. His property was easily navigable in the dark, and my two wheel drive made it fine. We talked for a while - what a cool guy. He was able to give me recommendations from a friend of what to do during the next legs of my trip, which was great and really did make a difference for the rest of my week. I cooked my dinner and sat stunned looking at some of the best stargazing I’ve had in a long time. When I woke up I realized that I had been sleeping next to a mountainside view - this was site 3. Talk about the best surprise I’ve gotten in a while unzipping a tent. The clouds were gathered in the valley and as I ate breakfast I got to watch the sun slowly clear then out. It was unbelievable. Before I left, Cosmo let me use his indoor solar-heated shower and told me all about his projects to build his own home and roads and move towards a more sustainable future. Overall this is really the best of what I imagine hipcamp has to offer - kind property owners & unique individuals who care about their guests while also allowing them to have their own experience. If I’m ever near Mendocino I will gladly make the trip inland to stay at his property again."

campsite #2, easy access

Cosmo’s place was fantastic! Our group of 9 friends enjoyed it a lot. Plenty of space to setup tents, cook, park cars, flushing toilet and shower (cold in the bath house and warm showers in the house). Cosmo was super friendly, laid back, and couldn’t be more hospitable and helpful. His cat Daniel and the stray Bob were cool as well. Overall, I’d highly recommend this place and we look forward to going back! Thanks again for everything Cosmo!

site 3. Pet friendly with views

Chill and tranquil!

We had a great time at Cosmo’s campground. Site 3 was tranquil, surrounded by trees, had a great campfire, and some lovely views of the valley. All very chill and relaxed. Cosmo is friendly, welcoming and responsive. We appreciated the hospitality.

Cosmo's Camp: Campsite #1

Love camping at Cosmo’s. This was my second time and my friend’s third time. Cosmo is such a great host, makes sure we have what we need when we arrive and then just lets us do our thing. It’s very cool to walk his land and see all the work he’s put into making it a unique but comfortable place. Definitely planning to go again and try to stay in every spot on his land. Thanks again for such a great time Cosmo!

site 3. Pet friendly with views

This was definitely off the beaten path. We enjoyed being close to nothing but birdsong and the beautiful night sky. The property is steep hillside with a pretty view, and in true, off-grid form, it had a few abandoned cars, boats, old RV’s. The host was friendly and respectful of our privacy. This was a pleasant place to camp away from the crowds.
