2 nights at A California Dream: Camp Hoppy
Camp hoppy was is an amazing, beautiful spot tucked away in the redwood forest. We had an amazing time enjoying the fire under the trees, listening to the creek, watching the moon rise, and spotting some really interesting wildlife. It’s the perfect balance of being immersed in nature while still having the comforts you need: an open-air space for cooking, hot water, and a nice, clean bathroom.
Having the entire property and creek to ourselves made it feel like a peaceful little retreat. It truly has everything you need for a perfect nature getaway. I’d love to come back in the future. This is a lovely Hipcamp spot!

Another AMAZING trip at Camp Hoppy with our group, this time with 2 doggos in tow! The site is huge and allowed us to split up amongst the camp area, as well as in the lower site near the river.
Can't recommend this site enough for groups looking for a private, beautiful, relaxing escape

Staying at Hoppers was truly an unforgettable experience. When we went there were 11 of sweetest puppies, and 4 dare I say sweeter doggy parents and grandparents. (They were all equally sweet)
Hopper was accommodating to us and such a thoughtful host. The yurt was very cozy and beautifully deisgned. His approach to sustainability is novel and special.
As someone who loves to camp in Joshua Tree, Sequoia and Kings Canyon, the area was the was the darkest night sky I’ve seen in a long long time. If you want more comfort than camping at salt point, but still be immersed in the north coast nature this is the place to be.

Hopper's farm was a super fun spot to stay for a weekend with my dog and toddler. The yurt had everything we needed and the detached bathroom with shower and a couple sinks was just a short walk away. His farm is in a beautiful forest about a 20 min drive uphill from sea ranch, so it is a great alternative to Salt Point SP or the other campgrounds closer to Gualala. My daughter enjoyed seeing his rabbits. Hopper is a fountain of wisdom about local plants and agriculture and I'm sure a longer stay would be super interesting, but we mainly used it as a home base for local adventures along the coast. Also if you're coming up from the bay the drive from 101 through dry creek valley is gorgeous and passes through loads of wineries/farms with cool farm stands and other neat things to stop and see if you have more time. Bottom line, it's a really nice, peaceful spot and we hope to return again soon for a longer stay.

Camp Hoppy was fantastic! There was a lot of area for our kids to explore around, including going down to the creek on the property. The kids also got a kick out of picking a few blackberries!

Great spot! Loved getting into the river and hanging around the property. Some good platforms for sleeping on. One note; the yurt by the river has seen better days and we opted not to sleep in it. Otherwise, a beautiful and tranquil spot in a perfect location.

We loved camp hoppy! It was a beautiful space, clean, open with plenty of land for the dogs to run around in. The creek was a short hike down and we had a great time in the water. It was a hot weekend for May but the redwoods at the campsite provided adequate shade and it was a lot cooler than expected.

From the moment we pulled in, we knew we were somewhere special. Thomas went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our stay — and it honestly felt like visiting an old friend rather than just a host. He had a tent already set up for us, with a table, a couch and a tarp.
His land is beautiful and peaceful — it just has this calm energy to it. We felt super safe and relaxed the whole time. Our dog was in heaven, running around freely with Thomas’s dogs. They got along great, and it was so nice to be somewhere truly dog-friendly.
The next morning, Thomas gave us a little tour of the place, including his hydroponic garden. I don’t think I’ll ever look at store-bought arugula the same way again — it was insanely good. The eggs were also super fresh and delicious, and he even offers customized baskets with produce from his farm. It’s such a cool, personal touch that makes the stay even more unique.
Also — can’t forget to mention the swing. It was such a fun surprise and made us feel like kids again.
This place is the definition of good vibes. Genuine host, beautiful land, and thoughtful touches everywhere. We’re already talking about when we can come back.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible off-grid Hipcamp spot, and it was nothing short of magical! Thomas was not only friendly but also passionate about sharing his knowledge of the land, making every interaction meaningful and enriching.
One of the highlights of my stay was enjoying morning and night tea while soaking in the breathtaking surroundings. The peaceful ambiance allowed for serene moments of reflection and connection with nature. I also had the joy of meeting the best dogs on the property, who were always ready for some love and mostly at work, being guard dogs!
The swings on the property had a whimsical charm, adding a sense of joy and life to the experience. I felt a wonderful sense of solitude in this beautiful setting, which allowed me to truly unwind and recharge.
And let’s not forget the wild strawberries—hands down the best I’ve ever tasted! They were a delightful treat that perfectly complemented my stay.
I also indulged in a healing massage that left me feeling rejuvenated and at peace. The yurt itself was wonderfully equipped with everything I needed, blending comfort with the beauty of nature.
If you're looking for an unforgettable escape filled with learning, relaxation, and genuine interactions, this is the place to be! I can’t recommend it enough and can’t wait to return!

It’s truely a very special land full of good energy from nature and from owner’s organization. We came with two another families with kids ranged from 3-13, they all had lovely time sitting by fire, dipping feet in creek, hiking in wood, running around in the nature. On the site, there is clean bathroom, water and shower, which made the camping with kids a lot easier. Before we arrive, Sonia gave very clear instruction and details and very responsive when we need extra help. As we are leaving, one of the car couldn’t start, Sonia was very flexible to let us to take our time to get help. We feel very thankful for everything Sonia had created on this site and let it open to share with us. We definitely will come back. It’s so beautiful. We could stay for a week there.

Sonia’s land was the perfect camping experience with just the right amount of amenities. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the creek was amazing, and having hot water and WiFi felt like such a luxury while still being immersed in nature. Our group of six had plenty of space, and everything was well thought out for a comfortable stay. We’ll definitely be back again when the weather warms up!
