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.

Redwood River Retreat is located at Terwer RV Park in Klamath, California, and is surrounded by the beauty of Northern California’s redwoods. The property blends the peace of nature with the comforts of modern amenities, offering guests a place to relax and explore.
The park is just a five minute walk to the Klamath River, where guests can launch a boat, fish, kayak, or simply sit and enjoy the water. Back at the property, evenings are often spent around the fire pits under a sky full of stars, with the sound of the river nearby. Picnic tables and outdoor seating areas make it easy to gather for meals and conversation in a natural setting.
Heated showers and restrooms are available on site for added convenience. Wi-Fi access, fresh linens, and other essentials are provided so guests can travel light. Firewood is available for purchase, and help is always close by with on-site assistance and your hosts only a message away.
When you are ready to explore, the surrounding area offers unforgettable experiences. Redwood National and State Parks are minutes away, with trails that wind through some of the tallest trees on earth. Trees of Mystery provides a scenic gondola ride with sweeping views of the forest. Crescent City’s beaches and lighthouse are a short drive west, and the Klamath River is right at your doorstep for fishing and paddling. Local dining includes Willow Line Taproom for burgers and brews, Steelhead Lodge for comfort food on weekends, and Forest Café or the Log Cabin Diner for hearty breakfasts.
The property is currently being remodeled, which means each stay will only get better as improvements continue. Redwood River Retreat offers the chance to enjoy the simple pleasures of campfires, fresh air, and river life, all while keeping your packing light.

Here at Meadowview you will find a stately ring of venerable oaks beside a sweeping meadow vista crowned by Hope Mountain.

Weekend Trip to Redwood River Retreat
We had an amazing stay! The location is perfect—just a short drive to Redwood National Park, yet peaceful and quiet. The trailer was spotless, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. We were even the very first guests to stay in it, which made it feel extra special. Cortney and Hiram are wonderful hosts—so kind, welcoming, and quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Staying in the greenhouse was EPIC!! Highly recommend. Gorgeous plants, nice couch, exercise area, sink, and bedroom included, + hammocks. Only thing I would say is because the doors were open and the ambiguous layout of the camp, and we had some visitors as we were leaving in the morning, probably assuming it was open to just look around. The drive in is pretty long through the mountains, make sure to have AWD/4WD and arrive with light. Very unique and special adventure 😇

Kate and Mark were the best hosts, the land was beautiful, and it was just the greatest experience. From the moment we got there, the vibe was like we were visiting family friends. They were gracious and generous with their time, but respectful of our space and privacy. They showed us a perfect swim spot up river, made sure we had everything we needed, and ensured we were having the best experience. We are usually very independent campers, but it was so nice to have an outdoor kitchen, fridge and freezer (stocked with some treats and produce from the garden). My kiddo spent every evening in the garden eating berries.
Wildlife is a part of the experience. Deer, skunks, glimpses of bats at dusk...and ants. There was an anthill near our campsite that caused some disruption one night, but Kate and Mark had a fantastic spot nearby and we were able to transition seamlessly (the ants are going to be dealt with).
I also 100% recommend the armor upgrade - it was my son's favorite part of our whole vacation (because, yes, this camping trip truly felt like a vacation). If you are into history, medieval armor - or even sci-fi - you will have a blast. Mark's enthusiasm and knowledge are infectious.
I can't say enough about how lovely our experience was. Also - perfect distance from the Redwoods, Smith River, and the Oregon Caves. Directions were perfect. Everything was wonderful.

This place had a nice little swim hole at the end of the dirt road going through the property. It also had a nice deck to hang out on. There was bed linen, dishes, a propane cooker, a pot, a pan, and a mini fridge. You do have to walk to the composting toilet out-house. FYI for the females. Travis was a great host though. He made sure to answer any questions we had. He also takes people rafting if you’re interested in stuff like that. The dog just had puppies and my kids loved hanging out with the puppy they kept and the mother. There’s also a shower they built under the tree house.

An experience that should be had by all. Dan was a gracious host with a spirit full of peace. He was helpful and willing to go far above and beyond to accommodate myself and my 2 young children when we encountered issues during our trip. His kindness and calm energy was easily absorbed and we left with renewed faith that there is still some folks out there with coo8ouh luulylgrbemmmee xexmpassion and brotherly love. A must see for those who have a desire to learn about, or passion for a sustainable lifestyle. Hats off to you and your vision Dan.
A word of advise. FOLLOW DAN'S DIRECTIONS

My group stayed in the Solarium and we had a pleasant experience! We recommend bringing your own bedding or hammocks to avoid mice or bugs. Bring insect repellent. Besides that, it is a fun remote experience.

Unique experience. Impressed by the sheer size of the greenhouse i stayed in. It does cool off at night and need to walk through the long passage to access your room. Worth it tho. And there are some frog friends at night....so bring your earplugs if not used to the sound:)

A totally unique and beautiful space. The view is amazing and the solarium is very peaceful, with a fountain burbling and frogs croaking.
Looks like they're still rebuilding from the last wildfire, so some broken windows and roof panels but none in the sleeping area.
The drive up is daunting without a truck or SUV.

Very eco friendly! We had a great time during our stay, Dan was very friendly and one of the seasonal assistants, Sean, was super helpful and welcoming. You can tell that things will continue to grow and improve, along with the forest coming back to life after the devastating fire.
One pro tip: do not use the fireplace if you stay in the Solarium unless they finish venting the chimney…
Although the fire creates a nice ambiance and the healing sounds are wonderful, we smoked ourselves out accidentally, even with the door open.
The community kitchen is a pleasant start to the day with the gathering of other guests and conversations with people from all different walks of life, but one appreciation; nature!
Pay attention when they say “prepare for a camping trip” when packing. Although they are more than willing to help; town is about an hour away and it’s best to be over prepared than under prepared.
Lastly, a good vehicle with all wheel or four wheel drive is definitely in your best interest but a necessity is a vehicle with a good clearance height (suv, truck, etc)
Enjoy your stay in the beautiful escape from the mundane box life of cities and towns.
