All bedding is provided and there is heat for the colder months. There is a bathroom, oven, and fridge. The outside area is fully loaded with an outdoor kitchen area with a 3 burner stove, sink, and large bar table for all your cooking needs. Dishes and silverware are provided and we have two pots and pans. Additionally, oil and spices and coffee and tea are provided. A propane fire pit is accompanied by cozy loungers and a table area for your coffee in the morning. After a long day enjoy an amazing outdoor shower and dressing room that was created using all-natural materials and is incredibly healing and relaxing ;) It has been deemed the “fairy shower” by many. Behind the shower, there is a large sink for dishwashing. Parking is easily available right at the site area or there is an area close to the site for parking if you prefer. We offer our guests the opportunity to experience a curated mushroom/plant hike from a local foraging professional. Lasting roughly 3 hours, you will be immersed in the world of foraging and the incredible landscape of this area by someone who will make it fun and easy. All levels of knowledge and physical capabilities are welcome! Reach out with questions or book directly here in the "extras" area. Once we show you around upon arrival, we do our best to allow our guests to really relax. We leave you alone but are very available for anything needed. Our property is located in the whimsical community of Albion, about 15 minutes south of Mendocino.  Albion is quaint and has a gas station and excellent market open until 8pm.  The market has organic high-quality food and the best homemade Indian food I have ever had on the weekends.   The Albion River is absolutely stunning and the local church camp provides very inexpensive kayaking or canoeing for the whole family.  There is also a beach in Albion that is known for always having treasure- including sea glass ;)  The quaint town of Elk is approx 15 minutes South of Albion and is absolutely a must-see in the area.  The beach and cafe are fabulous.  Mendocino (about a 15-20 minute drive) provides shopping, an amazing atmosphere, and a variety of beaches and incredible sites to see.  No matter what you are into it, this area can provide what you are looking for!  Great food, amazing art, gorgeous beaches, incredible hiking, abundant fishing, and whale watching almost year-round!   We look forward to hearing from you and let me know if you have any questions about our accommodations

Camping under the forest canopy.
We had an absolutely amazing time at Joy and Joseph's place. It was perfectly situated just a short drive from both the beach and the forest. They were extremely helpful and thoughtful with everything that we could possibly need. The beautiful outdoor shower in the rain on the morning of our departure was a wonderful bonus! We definitely look forward to staying with them again in the future!

Amazing stay
Most incredible way to close out 2023 and welcome 2024. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable. The little touches are all with love and the space is so warm and peaceful. I had no issues. The quiet was inviting, not alarming. There was a bird singing on NYE that echoed throughout the trees. I really loved my stay. Hoping to return this year. The shower was also a highlight. I have experienced many outdoor showers this year thanks to hipcamp, but this one was the best.

Lovely 3 days
It was such a great experience. In the trailer, heater, hot water, stove all worked really well. The host was very kind and informative. The beauty of Mendocino/Albion/Fort Bragg area is of course irresistible.

A forest paradise!!!!!
All I can say is WOW!! This totally blew our expectations out of the water. It is a beautiful, large area that we had all to our self. So peaceful and the small little touches made us feel so special and appreciated. The outdoor kitchen is the perfect set up- they have coffee and have really thought of everything. I loved having my coffee at the larger table area in the morning. Listening to the birds and taking in all the redwood beauty. THE SHOWER!!!!!!! I took on in the evening and honestly it just felt so healing and really like nothing i had experienced before. You can feel the love this family has for their property and the care they put into this space. The trailer is cozy, clean, and full of thoughtful touches. All i can say is, we couldn't have loved it more. So much better than expected. Thank you to our hosts!
