My aunt and uncle bought the property in 1947 from its first European settler, Paolo Gabrielli, who immigrated in early 1914 from northern Italy with slips of his grapevine in the lining of his coat. (The grapevine still grows over the back deck.) What can you expect? Quiet, beauty, birdsong, ocean roar, widely spaced campsites (only 5 on the 5 acres set aside for camping). Free firewood, local tips on travel and where to hike or what to visit. Or total solitude. Bring your (most non-cattle-chasing breeds) dogs if you wish (males must be neutered). Starlink internet. Walk to the beach of our wild ocean along a no-shoulder country road. We have no visible neighbors, no ambient light or sound. The air is clean and clear and the water is potable from an artesian spring on the property. No electricity at the sites and no generators allowed. (Charge your electronics at the farmhouse.) We offer homemade soup, cobbler, fresh bread, morning coffee as extras; you can order with the booking. The Victorian village of Ferndale is three miles east, as is a beautifully maintained 110-acre town wilderness with hiking trails called Russ Park. A 150-year-old cemetery slopes down a hillside & is filled with 19th century charm and history. Shops and restaurants welcome visitors. There are several bars/a wine bar/and a historic saloon that's as old boy as it was in 1890. A music venue in a restored 19th century church has amazing acoustics and attracts international talent as a top-notch venue (sessions are filmed for PBS) midway between Portland and San Francisco. So, it's a mix of town and country, village and farm, wilderness and bewilderedness. Safe, safe, safe, meaning: you can leave your belongings in your site and when you come back... they're still there :) We welcome the world. One caveat: please arrive before dark. There is no electricity in the campgrounds, and no generators are allowed. You will not be able to reach (or maybe even locate) your site without disturbing others.

Please, come enjoy our little slice of paradise with an uninterrupted view of the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy all aspects of nature but in the comforts of a clean, modern home and a steaming hot tub. Our house is located in the most secluded resort district in California, Shelter cove. With just one, full time resident across the street and the backyard adjacent to protected environmental ‘green space’ it’s extremely peaceful.

Experience true serenity and solace here on the mountain. When was the last time you couldn’t hear traffic or random gardening equipment? Sit back with a book and relish in absolute solitude. Immerse yourself in spectacular panoramic views and watch the wildlife or explore one of our many forest trails by foot, bike or even your atv! We are thrilled to be here and we want others to come experience all the amazing things Mendocino county has to offer! We are 4 miles off hwy 101 up a dirt road with a 10% grade. 2WD will make it, but AWD or 4WD may be easier. We may be far off the main road, but once you get here, it is definitely worth the drive! Don’t let us make that decision for you, though, come see it for yourself and let us know what you think!

This 5.5 acre property sat unattended for 10 years. I have been working for 7 years now to revive the fruit trees and build a micro-farm. The weather is perfect for growing 365 days a year. It is part forest with redwood stands, part wetlands, and part farmable land. You can hear the ocean from the farm. It's just 5 minutes to 10 Mile Beach Access. A little known beach, usually with just a few locals. The harbor at the mouth of the Noyo River in Fort Bragg, it's wonderful restaurants, and the recreational and commercial fishing boats is just 8 minutes away. You can rent kayaks there as well. Jug Handle State Natural Reserve it's 15 minutes away. Russian Gulch State Park is 20 minutes away. Jackson State Demonstration Forest is less than 30 minutes away. Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens is 15 minutes away.

2-wheel drive accessible 2 miles up a dirt road. This is an example of a back to the land movement homestead. You can grab an apple, pear, plum, and some eggs. Drive through majestic redwoods and above as you ascend the 2 miles of dirt road to get here. There is much political, musical, and environmental history behind this land which we can share when you arrive.

A gorgeous place to land and settle in. Great access to Shelter Cove black sands beaches and town park. Hot tub was perfection, our dogs loved the fenced yard, and we had everything we needed!

1 night at Wendy & John Farm

We had a fabulous experience at Wendy and John's. The campsite was perfect under a full moon. We really appreciated the sparkling clean bathroom and shower. The dinner was amazing- a 5 course meal that rivaled any fine dining restaurant we ever experienced! Wendy and John are fantastic hosts in every respect. We enjoyed celebrating the election results together 11/4/25. We look forward to returning again and again.

Wendy and John are the best! The land is simply gorgeous and even though you're just a few minutes from town you really feel like you've gotten away. The creek provides a lovely background, free firewood is such a treat and the bathroom/showers make it so luxurious. We can't wait to go back!

Weekend Trip to Redwood Family Camp

It was the coziest cabin and friendliest people. The showers are nice and hot and water pressure is great.The weather got cold unexpectedly, and I was offered a heater for my little cabin. They have trash disposal, and a more than reasonably priced laundromat.

We really enjoyed our stay in the cabin! The campground is in a great location giving us the opportunity to tour the amazing redwood forests. Clean bathrooms and hot showers were great. The nights got chilly so we made use of the electric heater. We look forward to staying here again on our next trip out to this beautiful, special place.

Lovely large field. Great shower and bathroom. We really enjoyed the fruit crumble we ordered in advance. Our dog loved the grassy field and got along well with the resident dog. Ferndale was movie perfect. Super coffee shop and some good restaurant options. Beach was close by for a long walk. 10 out of ten.

Weekend Trip to Wendy & John Farm

What a wonderful stay! Wendy and John (and Louie the dog!) are warm, generous hosts! Our Tucked Away camping spot was just right as we made our way up the coast. It was a delight to go to sleep with the sounds of the ocean and wake to birds singing and cattle lowing. Shower was warm with excellent water pressure. Definitely recommend adding on Wendy’s delicious soup! Stop looking at your options! This is the one!

Orchard to camp in and pick apples from. You can park at flat spot very close by.

Darryl's farm has great vibes & he's a very accommodating host. I've stayed there twice & will probably stay again. Woke up to deer eating apples in the yard, wild turkeys running around, and a hawk circling the orchard.
