23 beautiful acres at the top of the mountain overlooking the valley below and the mountains on the other side. We are often Above the Clouds in the mornings. You will need to come up a windy country road to get to us but it will be well worth it. Learn more about this land: Welcome to our Above the Clouds RV spot, tucked away in between Napa and Sonoma Valleys - right in the middle of wine country! This is the perfect peaceful getaway near great outdoor activities and some of the best wineries in California! About the Property: Above the Clouds campsite is surrounded by beautiful, stately trees and overlooks the Valley of the Moon with a stunning mountain view. We are just 11 miles from the city of Sonoma and only 8 miles from the Napa Valley - making both destinations really easy to get to. You can enjoy the California wineries, restaurants, and shops that you'd like! We are also ideally located near Jack London State Park - which is a really pretty and historic place to go! The opportunities for hiking around our property are endless, and definitely head to the wineries if that's of interest to you. On our property you can enjoy exploring our more-than 20 acres of land, taking the row-boat (provided by Hosts) out on our pond, hiking or just relaxing in a serene setting and watching a great variety of birds. Formerly utilized as a bed and breakfast, when we moved to the property we definitely wanted to continue sharing the land and views with guests. As hosts, we are around and enjoy getting to know the our visitors if you are up for that, otherwise we are also happy to respect total privacy. There are 3 sites next to the pond, we have one that is there all the time in the summer but those folks only come a couple of times each month. The 2 others are right next to each other near the pond. We haven't started having more than one rented at a time yet but do expect to start that soon. You may have a neighbor or 2. We hope you enjoy the beautiful sunsets and being literally above the clouds as much as we do! About the Listing: Come park your RV on our property and set up camp at a beautiful spot right next to the pond. You should expect to see us on the property, though your site is well away from the house We have minimal electrical and we do have water hookups available for your RV, we do allow generators. There is a BBQ grill that you are welcome to use for cooking some wonderful meals if you'd like! You can enjoy a bite to eat at the picnic table near your campsite. There is also potable water from our natural spring available onsite for guests. You can enjoy watching the birds, turkeys and deer that meander through the meadow, and feel free to roam around the property taking in the fresh outdoor air! Additional Details to Note: - Check-in is after 2pm and check-out is before 12pm - Things to bring: Everything you need to camp comfortably! Think: toilet paper, cookware, bathing suits if you like, etc. - We do not have wifi available on site and cell reception is spotty, especially for certain carriers. Please prepare accordingly for your travels and your stay. - There is a fire ban in effect, so please no campfires, but we do allow you to use a propane fire pit if you bring it yourself. - We welcome your pets! They can be off leash if they are friendly and if they don't run off - we do not have a fence. - You can contact us if you'd like to check in early - if nobody needs to check out, we are happy to accommodate you! Please feel free to reach out with any questions and we look forward to your stay!

Vehicle site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 30 ft

This Site is situated with good views. Not close to the other site so you will not feel like you are in a regular RV Park. It is easier to park a trailer in this spot if you are not a very experienced trailer driver.

Vehicle site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 30 ft

Lower Site 3 is situated on the lower part of the property. This space is further from the house down past our storage out buildings. It is more private. Water is available but no electricity at this site. It has a nice view and is a quiet, restful space. This space is a little easier to park a trailer if you are not very adept at parking.

Campers consistently praise the site for its peaceful ambiance and stunning views. Many appreciate the helpfulness and warmth of hosts Phil and Colleen, as well as the convenience of its location near Glen Ellen and hiking trails. Some reviews mention the challenging drive up the winding road, especially for larger RVs, but most agree the experience is worth it. The site is also noted for its clear skies, making it a great spot for stargazing or remote work.

Such a beautiful property! We stayed for Bottlerock so we didn’t spend a lot of time at camp, but the views were magnificent. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Would love to come back in the summer when we can take advantage of the lovely pool.

Site #2

Such a great, peaceful stay and just a quick trip to get into Glen Ellen for food. Phil and Colleen were super friendly and welcoming as soon as I arrived. The site also has a nice, clear view of the sky so I was able to get work done via my Starlink easily. My only piece of advice for others considering is to take the route that approaches from the West as the other route was really quite challenging when towing. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone!

Site #2

We camped at site #2 and very much enjoyed it. Perched high up on a hill in Sonoma County, it has one of the best views we’ve come across with Hip Camp. Even though it’s only a 20 min climb from civilization, the view is mostly wild hillside. Host Colleen was very friendly and helpful, and they have a friendly black lab named Minnie. Both sites are near the owners house, but you can hardly see any neighbors; view from most directions are wild hillsides. The site was fairly flat, but you’d need a wheel leveler to make it completely level. The best part, for people like us who don’t like to back in a trailer, site 2 offers a turn-around so you don’t have to back up when you leave. Good well water is supplied by nearby hose bibs, with good pressure. However, there are no standard RV 30amp or 50Amp hook-ups; electricity is supplied by a thick gauge extension cord with a domestic 3-prong connection, so make sure you have that adapter. The 15amp supply will not power A/C, but did fine with microwave and other light loads. The nice hill views mean you have to climb up a long winding road, with many hairpin turns, to get there. Our trailer is 19’, and we feel that’s is the max length we’d be comfortable towing up there. Definitely would NOT recommend for any Class-As or larger trailers. Many hiking trails and boutique vineyards with tasting, within 30 mins drive. We recommend this site, and will likely return.

Phil and Colleen are more than accommodating! When we arrived in dark, they had someone helped us to park our trailer which was so helpful! They also helped us setup, making sure we had everything we needed. The site is really nice, sitting right next to the lovely little pond. My son had so much fun rowing the little boat in the pond. We enjoyed the location, 25 minutes driving into the town, close to many wineries. Phil even provided some free tasting coupon for us to use. Phil is also a vet handy host, he helped to fixed an electrical issue and made sure we had our needs met. Overall, it was a lovely campsite to stay for a few nights. The stars were amazing at night too!

Peaceful Retreat

Pond side site #1

We had a lovely, peaceful fall weekend. Doesn't take too long to get up the hill, access a bit easier from west/Glen Ellen side. Water hook up, 120V/15 amp power kept our battery ticking over. Turnaround to get in to the site with a long travel trailer is tricky, probably a better way to do it than how we did it! Phil, Colleen and Minnie the dog were very friendly, thank you!

Very friendly Phil & Colleen greeted us and helped us with the site, water & electric. It was a sweltering 100+ degree day, our 2 dogs had been cooped up traveling with us in the campervan all day, were very excited to be able to run around the property and loved the invitation to jump in the pool. Phil & Colleen have a very special property with an amazing view and we highly recommend.

We had a great time camping at Phil and Colleen’s property. There are only 2 sites, and we were the only group there, so it was very private. It has great views of the valley and although we only live 30 minutes away, it felt like we were hours away from home. Phil and Colleen were very welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Phil and Colleen were wonderful, and friendly. They showed us our spot, we chatted a bit, then we ended up having a glass of wine with them later while we watched the sunset. Their tips were so helpful – the next day we had breakfast at the Garden Court cafe, visited Swedes Feeds, Morton Warm Pools, then Wellington Winery (using the card for 2 free tastings if we bought a bottle of wine).

Phil and Colleen were great hosts! There was some road issues the day we came up, and we got a call early to help navigate them easily. On top of that we got in late and were offered some supplies that we were unable to grab on the road. Very gracious and extremely friendly. And the setting on their property is spectacular! Great way to steer our family RV trip, with easy accessibility to Sonoma while still feeling like we were having a camping adventure.

Such a warm welcome from Phil & Colleen! They couldn’t have been more helpful and their property is amazing! We had no trouble getting up to the site even in our RV. It was the perfect spot and we wish we had longer there! Sunsets are amazing there, both hosts were really helpful with getting us hooked up on our first night in the RV and we loved Minnie their golden doodle! We’d recommend this site to anyone staying in the area! Thanks so much! Harry & Leah
