Highlands Resort is an adult only property that has been around since the early 1920s when it was known as Highland Park Lodge. Like many of the resorts in the area, it began by offering platform tent camping and began adding cabins during the 1930s and 1940s. In those days, folks took the ferry from San Francisco to Sausalito where trains headed to the “vacation playland” villages of Guerneville, Rio Nido and Monte Rio. The river villages have been a vacation magnet since the late 1880s reaching a peak in the 1920s and 30s. (Fun fact: 25,000 people came to the river for the July 4th weekend in 1925!) In those days, visitors came for the natural beauty, to play in and on the river, eat in great restaurants and party in the bars. Clearly not much has changed. In 1979, the resort was declining when Bill and Steve bought it and gave it new life. This was at the beginning of the area’s revival as a tourist destination, especially for LGBTQ+ guests during the 1980s. They are credited with the wonderful landscaping at the resort. In 1995, Lynette and Ken bought the Highlands Resort and ran it until June 2021, keeping with the traditions of the past. They had been hospitality professionals for more than 30 year -- warm, casual, generous, occasionally sarcastic and always wanting their visitors to have a wonderful time. We love that they paved the way for us. We hope past and future guests become our repeat guests and new extended family. The Highlands has always attracted a loyal following of visitors looking for a quiet, relaxing place that is friendly and fun. The cabins capture a bit of the 1940s and 50s with vintage chrome and Formica tables and chairs, custom-cut and inlaid linoleum floors, and vacation brochures blown up as art in the cabins. As we continue to improve our rooms and suites, new changes will come. The biggest addition is our new glamping area - Coyote Camp. With a nod to the past, we’re bringing back platform tent camping. We know you’ll love partaking in this long-standing Russian River tradition.

Site 5 - Coyote Camp Scout Tent
The tent cabins were great! Comfortable bed, nice furnishings, and a great environment to wake up in. The continental breakfast was just right. I’m not a big swimmer, but I enjoyed putting my feet in the heated pool. Downtown Guerneville is a close (if steep) walk. The grounds were very well maintained. Overall, 10 out of 10!

Site 4 - Coyote Camp Scout Tent
A magical experience
I’m tempted to leave a bad review so this place remains a hidden gem. We stayed in one of the yurts nestled away in the redwoods. An absolutely beautiful and peaceful weekend. A short walk away from Main Street. Amenities were everything we could have needed and the place is incredibly clean. 10/10 recommend

Site 2 - Coyote Camp Scout Tent
The tent was very clean and comfortable. No frills really, just a bed and a couple of side tables. The showers are outside and the bathrooms are portapotties. Although, there are some inside showers and bathrooms a walk up the hill next to the office. The camp is basically in town, so you do hear some road traffic and potentially people getting out of the bar at night. The tents are super close together and we had someone arrive at around 3am right next to us and that was very disruptive to our sleep. They made a lot of noise and the office left the light on in their tent, which was very bright and made it hard to fall asleep. One of the campers also snored SUPER loud and it was hard to sleep with that as well. They do provide ear plugs but my ears are super sensitive and I can’t wear them. We ended up switching to a cabin for the second night and we’re extremely happy with that experience but probably would not do the tent again. We were a little disappointed by the breakfast and that the fire pit was only left on until 9pm. It would’ve been nice to at least have it on until 10pm so we could enjoy it after dinner and our wind down before bed. 9pm just seems so early for people on vacation.

We had an amazing time spending a night here in the Coyote Scout Tent. The facility was very clean, the beds were super comfortable, and overall we had an amazing stay. Also can't say enough about how friendly and courteous the staff were 😊
