Located just over two hours north of the Bay Area, The Oak Granary is located in beautiful Potter Valley on a 305-acre landbase. The houses, barn, and agricultural land are located on the lush and fertile valley floor, which sits at the feet of 300-acres of rolling hills --a diverse wildland comprised of grasslands, oak savannah, mixed oak woodlands, and mixed conifer forest. A half-mile from the edge of Mendocino National Forest, the land straddles the edge of domestic and wild, and we enjoy the tule elk, black bear, bobcat, mountain lion, and many critters that make a home here on the land with us. The 200 year vision of the Oak Granary is to build a village with a regenerative culture to steward the land for many generations to come, and to serve as a model for others. The central focus and shared vision of the community lies in stewarding the land in a way that strives to give back more than we take, support life for all living things, and return people home to their place as a beneficial and integral part of nature. Our mission is to regenerate ecosystems and communities through nature-based learning. We achieve our mission through education programs, research projects, and our land-based intentional community.

The Oak Granary is absolutely stunning. The photos don't do it justice. We had a great time camping and celebrating our birthday in the barn. Highly recommend!

Nice solar showers! Dishwasheing station is useful. No picnic tables though!

Lovely and quiet! We recommend putting your tent up on one of the hillsides surrounding the mown meadow, for more of a view and more privacy. It was the middle of the Labor Day heatwave when we were there so it was unusually sweltering. Because of that we didn't sit around the campsite too much--tried to get up and out quickly to the river/coast each of our three days. We loved the very close access to the Eel and Russian Rivers and were also glad we made the longer trek to Mendocino one day for some beach time and enjoying a couple of air-conditioned hours eating and drinking indoors. On a cooler weekend, we likely would have spent more time at camp, relaxing and cooking. Fires were not permitted, which is more than understandable, but that also made it less attractive to just hang out. Also, think about bringing camp chairs or blankets you don't mind getting burrs on, since the site doesn't have chairs or logs or anything like that. The composting toilets were pretty rad and the solar showers were wonderful; I even loved the setup for washing dishes. The hosts were also helpful and lovely. Great place!
