Weekend Trip to The Fairy Forest

This property had everything we needed during our visit to the redwoods. The canvas tent was great, the heater worked perfectly, the bed was comfortable and we loved the outdoor shower. Kim was friendly and accommodating with some great suggestions.

Weekend Trip to Heartwood Mendocino

Khamoor was so friendly and the cabin was incredible. Beautiful property, comfortable bed, we loved the kitchen facilities and the outdoor shower!

3 nights at The Fairy Forest

This was the best! It feels like you’re actually camping but with a nice comfy bed. The dehumidifier and space heater really do keep you warm. The land is gorgeous and I’d stay here over and over again. It was a great location to do all the redwood and beach exploring that we wanted to do. Kimberly was amazing and offered so much to make our stay more comfortable for us. 10/10.

1 night at Heartwood Mendocino

We booked this campsite as a respit and a way to regroup after 5 days exploring the redwoods up north. I have to say it exceeded all expectations! I was hoping for a clean shower, but didn't expect a heated bathroom and my favorite soap waiting in the shower. (Bathing Culture). This place was full of little details that were all so carefully thought out, from the shower in a redwood tree to the little ferry lights that magically came on at dusk. We somehow ended up being the only ones in the resort on a thursday night and it was magical waking up with the sun shining down on the dew covered grass. Just a beautiful spot and the highest quality experience. Thanks!

1 night at The Fairy Forest

Truly one of my favorite stops along my 2 week journey. The tent was cleaner than some of the motels I stayed in and the bed was so cozy. The garden is adorable and the location is fantastic to access some of my favorite beaches and a cute small town. I wish I had planned to stay more than 1 night and would definitely stay here again. 10/10 Kimberly was so kind and helpful too! (can't comment on the shower because I didn't use it but seems like it would be a cool experience in the summer, I would have been too cold in April:)

Weekend Trip to Camp Arroyo Grande

Cute little cabins, hot hot hot showers and a very laid-back vibe. Only cons are the cabins very limited and easily overwhelmed power supply and outlets. Power fell out a couple of times and luckily we figured it out quickly or it would have really affected our trip. Nights have been in the 40's, so I'd bring extra warm blankets if you plan on staying in summer weather.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

What a beautiful place - We loved the campsite. Distance from other sites was perfect. The river is so pretty and the walking paths were easy for kids. Really enjoyed our stay

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

This camp site is amazing! Tucked back on the hill so you get both shade and sun. Only 100ft (if that to the river). Nice swimming spot even though the currant is a little strong. Can drive straight up to camp site and have truck parked next to tent. All the camp sites are very clean and the Porto potties are the cleanest I have ever seen. Made the stay much better knowing they have clean toilets to use. Lots of privacy, camp site 8 is about 50 yards from site 9, and camp site 10 is all the way down at the end (can’t see them, nor hear them), love this spot!! Tom the property manager was awesome and super friendly. We chatted with him everyday as he came down to check on us and what a great guy. Rachael is also super friendly and has great communication in timely manner. Highly recommend booking this place.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

This was our 86 trip in 3.5 years and is im the top 5 for sure. Tom checked in with us upon arrival and each day. The campsites are SO private and close to river. Not only are quiet hours enforced but noise overall the way camping should be. We shared a porta potty with another camp which was extremely clean. Put this campground on your go to list.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

We loved tent camping on Site 10 of Rowan’s camp. Directions were clear and easy to follow. Everything is clearly labeled. The area is nice and sandy. It’s right next to the river. Portable toilet was perfectly cleaned and a short, but good distance from the site. Even though it rained, we loved it! Would definitely return again in the summer. We were greeted by Tom on arrival and he checked in on us the next day as well. There is a picnic table here, which is convenient. We were glad we brought our canopies! It’s a beautiful spot.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

Absolutely beautiful isolated campsite right on the river, plenty of space for the 18 of us that came together, perfect weather in April, I highly recommend this spot

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

Great spot to camp! Quiet and scenic next the river! The provided table and fire ring were great and the bathroom was well maintained. Very pet friendly. Definitely planning on coming back during the summer months to enjoy the cool river!

3 nights at Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

Noleen and Joeby’s spot has been on our list for a long time and we finally made it!! Despite the weather we had a great time and the hosts were incredibly responsive & helpful - we forgot eggs / potatoes and they went above and beyond to help us — the best hosts we have come across! Campsite # 4 is a solid choice for 3-8 people and it’s tucked away from the other river-side camp spots, semi- secluded. The bathroom/ spigot for water is a little uphill walk but we had a free vehicle to ride in to fill up our 7 gallon water jugs, which made it easier!! We brought our own pop up / toilet because we have a little one who’s in potty trading (a little tricky with the pack in /pack out rule, but we had special bags) so, that worked for us. The river is a short walk with multiple easy access points! We will definitely be back!!!

Weekend Trip to Saddle Mountain Carmel

Lovely view, hot shower, nice trail with flowers in bloom, quiet spot out of the way. Yet close to the Big Sur Marathon finish. More than I was hoping for. Just with the bathroom had been a bit closer, and the rain a little lighter.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

Beautiful site, this place is huge !!! Really good spot to disconnect, no cell coverage so it helps :) We had some rain but that was ok. Owner stopped by, very welcoming. Everything is well maintained and clean. Will come back for sure if there are space !

3 nights at Bayside Cabin

It was exactly what we needed, absolutely loved the window view, and enjoyed the hot stove to keep us warm and cozy. We read books, played board games, and our two dogs were so relaxed so that’s a double win! This place is somewhat secluded, and minutes away from towns which is awesome. Ted and Emily were amazing hosts! Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

My girlfriend and our pups needed a break from the city. Rachel’s land was the perfect gem to retreat too! The views were fantastic and we loved hiking around the property observing the cows from afar. Would come back again!

Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

11 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents23 acres · Somerset, CA

This land was home to the Miwok, then European and Chinese miners, then a cattle rancher. It was also home to a former nun who quit the dominican order to purchase this land for inner city kids to have a chance to ride, swim, hike and fish. We moved here in 2017 and purchased this land with the main goal to raise our large family here, but we have found that good things must be shared! There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with this beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork cosumnes river. We have 2 sleeping cabins and several tent sites (can be rented separately). The cabins offer a rustic/minimalist type vibe - bring your own bedding/pillows to sleep on the comfy futon. A table and chairs are provided for the cabins. Tent sites have a wood table (bring your camp chairs) and a fire pit when the season is open for burning. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! Many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting. It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. The recent Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the cabins. It is still as beautiful as ever but please know there are lots of slash piles. Falling trees and burned up stump holes are also a risk and it is presumed campers will be cautious and use at their own risk. Please don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Meadow Farm is a quiet and creative sanctuary surrounded by the forest. The ocean breezes freshen the air and the pulse of the planet is heard as the surf sounds travel to put us to rest at night.. We are a place for people experimenting with the new old ways to live with low impact and conservation of our precious resources. We offer affordable accommodations, organic gardening, and education on plants and living simply. We welcome your interest in veganic garden and diet, orchards, and forest trails. Our organic vegetables and fruit may be available if you wish to bring some of our farm to your table. We can offer you a quiet and peaceful place without social pressures if you wish to "decompress" from city life, jobs or any stressful times. Or come to the communal fire near the bathhouse for sharing some time with family and the few other campers that may be there. Bringing your own wood is welcome. The coastal bike and hike trails are many. From South of Ft Bragg to the Sand Dunes near Ward Ave. you can travel over 7 miles one way and go down to quiet little beach coves along the way. Meadow Farm is a nonprofit 501c3 with goals of coastal food security, disaster preparation and sheltering, carbon sequestering and forest restoration. We offer native plant tours on or off site with advance notice. We like our dog companions! Two McNab collies, Moxie and Shama live here and may bark at first...still very friendly and social with people and other dogs.. There are several dog friendly off-leash areas such as, Noyo North Harbor Beach, Seaside Beach and dog parks in both Ft Bragg and Mendocino. Our farm is dog friendly tho we wish pets to be kept close, must be neutered and friendly to other dogs and people. Please be sure to bury or bag the waste. Speaking of waste, Meadow Farm strives to reduce waste by avoiding plastic as much as possible, recycling what we can and composting our veggie scraps. Please bring your own waste receptacles and take them along when you go. We take ours to the Caspar Transfer Station which is open Saturday through Wednesday... the location and hours can be found online. Our water is from a deep well and we periodically test it for bacteria. It is cold and delicious. Our irrigation pipes that have spigots and hoses at each camp are safe for drinking, cooking and cleaning. Our solar pump moves water into storage tanks that provide all the water to the farm. It is very important that the water valves on your camp spigot is turned off (gently please) to avoid losing 2500 gallons of water in a short time. If you see a leak or break in a line please contact us immediately. There are also water shut offs for the camps on the west side of the Farm House if you are unable to reach us right away.. When doing dishes we request that you use the strainer to catch food particles from the dish water and toss them in your trash or compost bucket. If you have vegetable waste let us know and we can pick them up for adding to the worm bins or composting piles. We make worm "tea" fertilizer and rich soil from these offerings. No animal products or oil please... a few egg shells are okay. We do have the usual wildlife though we haven't had problems with them. Ravens will raid your camp if food or bags are left out while you are away. From dusk to dawn keep children and pets close. We coexist well here with the critters...and glad to have them. Wishing you a very peaceful and soul refreshing stay at Meadow Farm. Come and allow this natural setting to heal and restore your sense of well-being.

Sustainable Ecovillage

The Smith River Complex Fire took our property on August 16th, 2023. Updates on our progress here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fucaTaOwf5c PLEASE NOTE, 4WD is required in order to access the sites. Please message me if you have any questions prior to booking. Sustainable Ecovillage is an off-grid project for sustainable living. If you are looking for a unique experience and up for rustic accommodations among goats, chickens, a permaculture food forest with a few off-grid perks, we welcome you to join us in our mountainous, wilderness paradise! Our 160-acre property is surrounded by about a million acres of National Forest. Our neighborhood is all made of trees, huckleberry bushes and animals. We love it here. It is very remote, peaceful, and functionally sustainable in its focus. The closest neighbor is a Buddhist Hermitage about a mile up the forestry road. Also, supposedly, Sasquatch live here! (it is the epicenter for documented sightings). Most visitors to the area are interested in spending time in the redwoods – we are about 30-45 minutes from the nearest entrance to Jedediah Smith Park, home of Stout Grove and other beautiful redwood hikes. Driving into Crescent City, about 45-60 minutes, winds you right through the "gentle giants" on your way to or from Redwood National Park. We are self-sufficient, and sustainable in a relatively primitive set-up, especially after the fire this year. It's mountainous and remote, and we have a community agreement about no smoking (of any kind) on our land.
