✨ The Secret Gardens ✨
Once upon a time, hidden just beyond the whispers of the ocean breeze, there was a secret place where roses stretched toward the sky, dahlias painted the land with color, and lavender cascaded like purple waterfalls. No one quite knew how to find it—until they stumbled upon it. Here, hearts opened with ease, carried by birdsong, the sway of ancient oaks, the fragrance of woodsmoke, and the laughter that seemed to live in the very air.
The Secret Gardens unfurls across 11 acres of enchanted redwoods and noble oaks, where each campsite bears a name drawn straight from the pages of Alice in Wonderland. Guests often tell us: “One night is never enough.” And indeed, when you step out of your car, words and pictures fail—there is only the Wow.
In true secret-garden spirit, we share just enough glimpses to spark curiosity. The real magic is revealed only when you arrive.
Just one mile from Seascape Beach and a short stroll to Seascape Village—with its quaint cafés, market, spa, and more—our haven balances wild wonder with simple comforts.
🌿 The Realms of the Secret Gardens
🌲 Tulgey Woods
Nestled beneath towering redwoods, this woodland hosts RV and tent sites, along with Dodo’s Glamp and the Secret Wagon. Here you’ll find showers, bathrooms, a communal kitchen, a campfire circle, and outdoor dining spaces. It’s perfect for families, car campers, and adventurers with roomy tents.
♟️ Chessboard Land
Where play and comfort intertwine: cabins, a communal lounge, a sprawling kitchen, living-wall showers, cozy firepits, and even a projector screen for starlit cinema nights. This is the social heart of the gardens.
🐇 Rabbit Holes (open late spring through summer)
Two primitive hideaways—Tweedledee and Tweedledum—await in the wilder reaches of the land. Here, no cars intrude; instead, we whisk your belongings by ATV to these tucked-away forest nooks.
🌸 Private Group Groves
Three secluded enclaves designed for gatherings, each with its own bathroom, shower, grill, and sink:
• Cheshire Grove
• The Horseshoe
• Wonderland

🌟 What Awaits You

This 60 acre property is located approximately 3 miles east of San Gregorio Beach in the San Gregorio area. There is no home here, only a travel trailer on the Upper Meadow. It is very peaceful, quiet and beautiful throughout the seasons.
We are 5 minutes away from the San Gregorio General Store and cafe and 20 minutes from Alice's Restaurant. We have great cell coverage for Verizon, AT&T and Visible. Experience shows that T-Mobile does not work here and I don't know about the other internet providers.
There are four campsites, each with easy 4WD access. Two of the sites offer total isolation with amazing views while the third site, while in a nice setting, is more useful for a quick overnight stay with no views of the ocean or canyon. Please note that five easy-going cows (no bulls) reside on this property.
** Dear winter and spring campers, please consider using "Sensible Weather" for your trip protection in the event of heavy rain or even high temperatures in the summer and fall. I have not used this insurance feature but the description on Google makes it look worth considering:

This campground just god a major uplift. This used to be called Feel Good Camp and now we dedicate it to the natural green building and clean living. There were many beautiful hands put their energies into each cobbin here and we built it with Love, charities and your comfort in mind!
We made our decision based on our love to create an inspiration for arts and creating beautiful buildings using materials that you can find around you such as pallets, clay, sands, straws, etc. Everything is made out of non toxic materials, we even made our own paint out of cooking flours!
Being inside these cob buildings feels like being in the womb of Mother Earth: the scent, the calm, the grounding, etc. The woods come from one of our properties and we milled them ourselves. We upcycle almost everything: The tree barks, the branches, even the furnitures were secured from non-profit organizations. We'd like you to come to be inspired! One of the buildings is there as a demonstration site till its done and we'll have the cob builder to be there to show you around. Cob working party is held by a master cob builder.
We made your Camping and Glamping experience easy. We provide clean showers, restrooms, toilet paper, paper towels, barbecue, fridge, freezer, popcorn kettles, , utensils, plates, bowls, mugs, coffee maker, pots and pans, cutleries, etc. Yes, there is hot water as well with no coins needed.
The campground is located in a serene oak grove area of the property. Its a peaceful getaway with an abundance of bird varieties and occasional wild turkeys passing through. Take a stroll around our 5-acre property and catch a breathtaking sunset from the hillside.
The amenities are: Outdoor kitchen, 2 fire pits, outdoor showers and bathrooms, electricity in each cobin, Board games, Yard Games, dog park and an outdoor library for little ones to grown ups. In Winter 2026 we'll add sauna and outdoor tubs for warm winter experience.
Your parking spot is within a very short walking distance and there are wagons for you to use to haul your belongings to your camp site.

2 nights at Double Bear
We had a wonderful stay at Double Bear with our two children and couldn't have asked for a better family camping experience. The host has designed the property very thoughtfully, with everything laid out to make guests feel comfortable and welcome.
The campsite is perfect for families. There was plenty of space for the kids to explore, relax, and enjoy nature, while the shared areas made it easy to connect with other campers. We actually ended up making new friends with another family during our stay, which made the experience even more memorable.
The amenities were well maintained, and it was clear that a lot of care has gone into creating a fun, peaceful, and inviting place. Whether you're bringing a group of friends or looking for a family getaway, this is a fantastic spot.
We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and family-friendly camping experience!

This is by far one of the most magical and memorable nights on our trip. What Yeyen and Farbod have done together is nothing short of remarkable! Creating a hillside where both privacy or human connection are paramount - and people can camp so comfortably, either in a tent or in a cob cabin nestled into the side of the slope. The attention to detail and craftsmanship of the facilities is astounding. And the owners are lovely and generous. Here, the Gods must be happy!

We were fortunate to reserve all of Double Bear’s yurts for the weekend. The drive there was a bit of an adventure, as the last mile is mostly a dirt and gravel road. Personally, I found it fun and added to the experience.
Once you arrive at Double Bear, you're in for a treat. The yurts are clean, spacious, and cozy. There's plenty of firewood to keep you warm inside the yurts and for the communal fire pit, which we had all to ourselves.
The kitchen and dining area is huge and fully stocked with bottled water and just about everything you could need.
The bathrooms and showers are stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It really isn't much different from some of the higher-end glamping sites.
One thing we really appreciated was the reliable Starlink Wi-Fi, which was available throughout the property. It was a nice bonus to have fast internet access while still enjoying the peaceful mountain setting.
There's also a hot tub that comfortably fits more than six people and offers a beautiful view of the mountains.
Most importantly, Mathilda, our host, was outstanding. Her communication was excellent from start to finish. She even stopped by the next day to make sure we were doing well and to see if we needed more coffee or anything else.
We can't wait to come back and spend more time at Double Bear!
