This beautiful primary forest and nature reserve is located on the west slopes of Dry Creek Valley, with spectacular views overlooking vineyards and rolling hills. Come and enjoy a low-impact elevated camping experience, peaceful hikes, and nearby wineries (some within walking distance). You will be in a peaceful forest paradise, while still enjoying the convenience of 60 wineries less than 12 minutes away, Healdsburg Plaza and Lake Sonoma only 15 minutes away, and Russian River adventures, Santa Rosa movie theaters, and scores of restaurants within a 10 to 25-minute drive. The forest is on the natural frontier between coastal rainforest and inland forest. You will see redwood fairy rings and fallen redwoods indicating that rainforest covered the property centuries ago. Inland forest crept in at least 150 years ago when some of the magnificent, moss-covered oaks first sprouted. The biggest rainforest foothold is a grove of old-growth Douglas Firs in the northwest corner of the forest. Here's a partial list of fungi, flora, and fauna: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Del_ca3bE1DxjQU75e6muD7OA1387j7jMIw0waidzdM/edit?usp=sharing We are striving to improve the health of the forest as we share it with you. We don't clear or level campsites, but rather, we offer you the unique opportunity to enjoy a stay in a suspended treenet tipi or in the most comfortable all-weather hammock camping setup available. In this same forest-healing spirit, paths to the campsites follow deer trails and fallen redwoods to minimize the impact on vegetation and underground mycelium networks. In managing the forest, we only cut invasive trees or native trees that have died. The result is that you get the increasingly rare experience of a forest that has never been logged and where dead trees were left to feed hundreds of species of fungi. We are so happy to be able to share the sights and sounds and smells of this magnificent forest with you. We hope you enjoy it and please let us know if there is anything that we can do to make your stay more pleasant.

Hammocks at Rosemary Laurels

We had a very nice two nights in the hammocks... our first time with camping hammocks and I'm normally a stomach sleeper, which is not an option when you are cocooned in the hammock, but in the end we both slept long and well. The hammocks are up a short steep hill from the camp kitchen Jules has set up, which is complete with a 2-burner propane stove, pots and pans and dishes and flatware. Composting toilets available both up by the hammocks and by the kitchen; also a tented shower available by the kitchen! Jules was an accommodating host and his enthusiasm for returning the land there to a more native state is infectious!
