Thanktuary Meadow Campsite
Great location on the coast
Great site to camp at. It’s a big piece of property so there’s plenty of space. The cedar hot tub, showers and yoga studio were a big plus. Everything was very clean and tidy and the site was approximately a 7 minute drive from the coast. Lots of great beaches to explore nearby. Super easy to communicate with Veena. I would definitely recommend this site.

Peaceful site, welcoming hosts
We were so fortunate to get a last minute reservation at this peaceful retreat on the ridge above Gualala. Nice hot tub, very clean and new bathhouse although we did have trouble getting the water hot enough. But I know they are working on that. Wi-Fi was not strong, but we were able to get our email and download a movie. Beena and David were delightful and welcoming.

I really loved the place and our stay there. The hosts were nice and welcoming. The forest that surrounds the camping spots is magical.

Veena and David have a wonderful property, with lots of great options for relaxation and rejuvenation, as well all the right enmities to ensure a pleasant stay. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, and they are both great people to talk to, with a solid community philosophy. Can’t recommend it enough!

Travel Trailer Paradise
We visited with our small trailer and found the grounds delightful. The new shower/toilet facility is very nice and the genuine old-fashioned cedar hot tub was a great way to end each day. Power and water were available at our campsite and a table and chairs were provided. Our large dog was welcomed too.
One campsite is a pull-through, but we opted for the smaller back-in as we didn't need the extra space.
No campfire, but I cannot imagine an open fire being allowed in California after nearly a decade of drought. Not worth the risk.
All necessities are in the nearby towns with Bodega Bay and Ft. Bragg is not so far away.

Serene and peaceful
This is a great spot, close to the beach, quiet, with amenities to boot. A hot tub, bath house, yoga studio.. the works.
We really enjoyed our stay and will do it again! Thank you to Veena and David!

Awesome stay at Gualala Retreat
My husband and I had a little camping get away. What a beautiful place and we felt so spoiled with the new bathroom and hot tub! David and Veena we're so sweet they brought my husband and I a bottle of Martinellis Sparkling Cider to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
We will definitely be back !

Thanktuary Meadow Campsite
The spot (we had 2 tents) was wonderful among the trees. The shower/bathroom , hot tub and dish washing station were perfect.; lots of nice places set up to hang out around the property. The camp site was a little close to the tree house but it didn’t bother us.

The property is lovely, the hosts friendly and communicate well. Hot tub and bathroom facilities top notch. Electric and water was available in the private RV site. It's far enough inland that it should often be warmer than the coast.
And I dug the chipping/putting green which even had a left handed wedge. That's inclusive!

Summer camping with comfort
This is an awesome camping place. The hosts are super nice and welcoming!
We had a wonderful time! We booked this one same day trying to escape a heat wave. Our camping spot was just the right size for us and was very private. It also had electricity and water which was nice. But, the coolest thing was the bath house which is brand new and has 2 restrooms and 2 showers. On top of that it also had an amazing hot tub with cedar essential oil. It was great to enjoy the warm water in the cool weather near the ocean knowing how hot it is anywhere away from the coast.
We had a wonderful and definitely would recommend!!!

Thanktuary Meadow Campsite
We enjoyed camping at the Thanktuary. We were far enough away from the houses to feel like we had a private site. The showers and bathroom were beautifully done and clean. At night we enjoyed stargazing and had a deer come through the site. David was very helpful and showed us around the property.

Great Base for Coastal Exploration
We had a very nice stay at Thanksuary. The land was beautiful and only a few miles up the ridge from the Pacific Ocean. It is warmer on the ridge which was perfect as the morning fog burned off. The bathroom/shower house was brand new and the cedar soaking tub was fantastic. It was a great location to use as a base to hike and see the sites of the Sonoma/Mendocino Coast. Veena and David were gracious hosts.

camping at Thankuarty Retreat
We had a delightful time meeting our hosts. We had a good soak in the hot tub. The Bath house was clean and had beutiful touches. We appreciated the peace and quiet.
Thanktuary Meadow Campsite
Good potential, needs improvements
Pros: bathhouse with showers and outdoor spa is great. Land is large and has good potential if properly prepared.
Cons: camping sites are either too close to the host's house or not ready yet. Further sites near the woods are not cleared or leveled, and there are no marked paths or sites.
After sites are properly prepared this will be a nice hipcamp.

Cute Spot In The Hills
I had a great time staying at the Thanktuary. Being able to access water, power, and a bathroom was very useful, and being just a few minutes from the middle of Gualala was a dream! Would happily stay again
