Great place for a beginners backpacking trip. We stayed at campsite #6. It was very secluded and quiet. You can walk from the coast camp sites on a short trail to the beach. Huge Beach with beautiful sand and not too many people around.

Weekend Trip to Ravens Landing

Weekend Trip to Golden Rocks Permaculture Farm

Had the best stay with Brenda! Note: this property is in Middletown, not Lower Lake like the app says. I wanted to find a quiet place for a weekend getaway near Harbin Hot Springs, and I’m so lucky I found Brenda’s property. She’s so lovely and welcoming, and had excellent communication throughout my stay, from calling me before I got there to give me local directions (you should follow her directions, sometimes Google Maps will lead you astray) to giving me tips for local hikes, hot springs, things to do in town, etc. She offers a bunch of services to her guests for a fee: I personally bought a tincture made from wild-harvested herbs from her farm, which she thoughtfully prepared a homemade tea to go along with, and also ordered a farm-fresh breakfast that she prepared with vegetables harvested from her garden/the local farmer’s market. It was truly one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. Brenda herself is a well spring of knowledge about permaculture, the land, and knows so many people in town; I found her interesting to talk to and easygoing. I would highly recommend staying in the farmhouse as it’s more of a cozy house vibe, with access to the kitchen and the bathroom right next door, but I will definitely be back to check out the Art Studio and camping grounds. She has two kitties that are the sweetest, and the neighbors own a variety of animals like horses, goats, dogs that you’ll see when you drive in. Thank you Brenda!

3 nights at Timber Cove Campground

Truly the best campsite ever! To be so close to the ocean was unbelievable. Small site but totally worked for us. So happy the landowners share their wonderful property with all of us. We will definitely be back!! Only disappointment was the portable toilet. It was dirty and needed to be emptied.

1 night at Swallowtail Historic Art Studio

The art studio was an incredibly unique and enjoyable experience. At first glance at the listing and the communications it might feel like there’s a lot of instructions. But once you are in the space it all makes sense, and you want to protect and respect the beauty Bill has created. There were so many sweet, and special touches. Fresh cut flowers, coffee and treats in the morning. While the room you sleep is cold and uninsulated, the bed is one of the most comfortable ones I’ve slept in away from home with a heated mattress and the most luxurious linen sheets. We loved the hot tub, the grounds and all the unique decor and structures. You will not regret booking your stay.

Weekend Trip to A California Dream: Camp Hoppy

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.

Weekend Trip to Wild Canyon Ranch CA

Great secluded campsite in etched in the hills of Sonoma. Very private with our group and we enjoyed the bonus fridge and bathhouse amenities. The farm animals were a hit with the kids!

3 nights at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping

Staff was kind and helpful. The bathrooms were clean and well looked after to the extent that is possible for any human to keep up with so many people who appear to not have had parents.😳

1 night at spirit chicken ranch

Magical sauna tucked away in the forest! Chris made sure to greet us and make sure we understood the layout! We got lucky and had the whole place to ourselves.

Weekend Trip to EL EL Cool Ranch

Great stay, well off the beaten path. Eli is a warm and gracious host. We loved the peace and quiet of the dome and still having the creature comforts of home. It was also fun to go forage in the garden, hang out with the chickens, and see the wild ponies on the drive in. A truly dog friendly place- Lulu is a very friendly girl and will love to play with your pup.

1 night at Swallowtail Historic Art Studio

The Indonesian wood cabin was adorable and in amazing shape as a true antique building. It was a step back in time where people lived more simply. The bed was very comfortable. The hot tub was relaxing and clean with a scenic view off the deck. The artistic touches throughout were beautiful and interesting to look at. The host Bill was very sweet and accommodating. I would love to see what the other structures on the property are like inside. Very unique and salt of the earth experience. Close to town but rural enough to hear the owls and coyotes at night.

Weekend Trip to Wild Canyon Ranch CA

My wife and a group of our friends stayed at Tyler’s ranch for a weekend getaway. He was very responsive to any questions we had leading up to the trip and the location was amazing! Tyler left us some hay to feed his animals- we had a blast doing so. Would highly recommend staying here!

2 nights at Mandala Springs Wellness Center

Great camp site with some of the best bathrooms I’ve seen camping. Staff is very friendly and it was quiet at night which we appreciated. The salt water pool is awesome. Only downside is there are no Tesla chargers nearby which made it challenging for us to use our car.

2 nights at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping

We had an amazing time. The weather was perfect. We stayed at bird Camp glamping site. It was a little chilly so our propane heater came in very handy. Loved going on the hikes and we had an amazing amount of birds that visited our campsite every day. Plenty of room on this site to pop up another tent or two. We may bring the family back. Or not this was such an amazing peaceful getaway.

Weekend Trip to spirit chicken ranch

We had a lovely time, especially hanging out in the outdoor kitchen. It's really well equipped for a larger group and the facilities are easy to use. The pond was fun for swimming and the adjacent sauna, tub, and shower worked great. We went on the loop hike to both waterfalls and in June it was really pretty adventurous climbing up the creek, with poison oak everywhere. I would recommend water shoes and long pants, cuz we got scratched up by branches. Lots of mosquitoes at certain times of day, so be prepared, and we got a tick, so do bring tweezers! Wonderful place to gather a group for an outdoor adventure.

Weekend Trip to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping

Big sites, good hikes, hot showers and friendly employees. We will return for sure. The location is wonderful for enjoying Kenwood and Glen Ellen as well.

Weekend Trip to Wild Canyon Ranch CA

Great place. Tyler is an awesome host. Kids and adults all had fun. It’s far out there but that’s part of why it’s great. Trout farm a very short drive away.

3 nights at Timber Cove Campground

We camped at Brenda’s timber cove campground at the waterfall site. It is beautiful and easy enough access to a nice hike with ocean views. Had a wonderful time and look forward to staying again!

Timber Cove Campground

Located right off coastal US highway 1, Timber Cove campground sits right at the edge of breathtaking, oceanside cliffs. We are situated on roughly two acres of land, with multiple campsites for tent/car camping or RV’s. Each bluff campsite has a picnic table, fire pit and water. Electricity is available to use for an extra fee. The beach and waterfall campsites do not have picnic tables so you might want to bring one if you’ve booked there. We have separate men’s and women’s flush bathrooms, with coin-operated hot showers. We have firewood with kindling for sale on site, payable with cash or Venmo. Please take note of local fire bans, when in effect. Dog friendly, though be advised a leash is recommended as we are close to the road, but they can run leash-free down at the beach. We are located 30 minutes north of the town of Jenner, with Gualala 30 minutes to the north. Gualala has grocery stores, a post office, and some shops. Fort Ross Store is located one mile down the road, just before Timber Cove, and sells basic food necessities, drinks, sandwiches, ice and gas. Internet cell service can be spotty in our area, depending on your provider, so bring your own Starlink services if you have them. We also have access to the beach below, and offer beach camping as well. Take note that the road down to the beach is steep with uneven terrain. The weather can vary quickly here, so be sure to bring multiple layers of clothing and camp gear for various types of weather, and headlamps are useful for getting around the property at night! We hope you’ll come visit our little slice of heaven on the ocean cliffs, gaze at the stars, marvel at the sunsets, watch the harbor seals dozing on their rocks and the many bird species that inhabit our property. Bring your binoculars and watch out for whales too! We look forward to hosting you at Timber Cove. Please email with any questions about camping with us. Address: 21350 CA-1, Jenner, CA 95450
