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."

Bottom land group campsite #4
So beautiful!
Me and my boyfriend, and our dog went camping to relax and we got more than we expected. We had more than enough space to enjoy ourselves(4 acres!), bbq, hike, and play with our dog. Cosmo is a very great host. He makes sure to accommodate as much as he can. Very welcoming and super helpful. The main bathroom has a toilet, sink, and a shower which is located by the entrance of the property. Only a short hike from our site. Will definitely be coming back again in the future.

site 3. Pet friendly with views
Quiet retreat with great views
Campsite was very private and quiet. There are just a couple of sites which is nice. Cosmo is friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Great views high up on the Navarro Ridge. Lovely!

Meh…
First off, Cosmo was friendly and communicative which was nice. And his property was beautiful. As much as I would love to give this place 10/10 I can’t. All night long there were dogs barking very loudly, we got very little sleep and missed out on the peace and quiet get away we were hoping for. The view for spot 3 is not necessarily a “view”. The bathroom was dirty and the toilet was very clogged with no plunger. Just not sure that was worth $90…

This is my second time staying at this spot, but my 3rd time staying here. I love it. I’ve never encountered other campers when here. It’s so peaceful and just gives me so much of what I can’t find anywhere else.
