Stories from the community

1 night at Briceland Vineyards Ranch

Andrew was kind and so helpful <3 Greay conversationalist as well, thank you for making our stay so welcoming - Lu

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.

1 night at Wendy & John Farm

When we first arrived John handed us a printout of wifi, rules, etc. It was very helpful since cell phone reception was limited. The campsite was quiet, well maintained and they had firewood waiting for us! Very clean bathroom. My dog LOVED running around and exploring :) The only thing is the driveway is narrow so just be aware of that if you have a camper. Overall wonderful place to stay.

1 night at Fieldbrook Gnome Dome

Loved staying in the Gnome Dome! Everything was clean, easy to use, and directions were clear. Super cool space with a view nestled in the woods. Would recommend.

4 nights at Wendy & John Farm

This was an amazing find. This property is so nice and clean, it's secluded without feeling scary. They had fire wood and a table with chairs all set up and ready for us. The restroom and warm shower were much needed after long excursion days. On our last night the sky's cleared and the stars were STUNNING. The hosts were lovely and gave us the space to enjoy our time. I would definitely go back.

4 nights at Salmon Creek RV Camping

I tent camped with a group of four and had a great experience on this property! The site had all the comforts we needed—power, WiFi, a refrigerator, hot shower, and a port-a-potty. While the two camp/RV sites share amenities, there’s so much space that it never felt crowded or inconvenient. Lena and Bryan were kind, responsive, and very accommodating throughout our stay. We visited for the Avenue of the Giants Marathon, and the location was perfect distance-wise. The property is peaceful and beautiful, with plenty of flexibility to tailor your setup. My only tip: bring extension cords and check in with the hosts ahead of time to confirm which amenities will be available during your stay.

Weekend Trip to Wendy & John Farm

Just as described! The owners and their property were so lovely and the location is gorgeous. Provided us with extra firewood and a nice hot shower! Between the lush ridges and the ocean. Would absolutely come back. Thanks for the great time Wendy and John 😊

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.

Weekend Trip to Radio Ranch Camp

This place is a total gem. The creek scenery and sounds and lush green were incredible. Deeply nourishing. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Like a white cloud. I begged the owner for the links to buy the pillow and comforter lol. There is a cool massage room and had a very relaxing massage. Only thing I would do different is rented a tent closer to the spring because it’s too beautiful not to be close.

Weekend Trip to Wendy & John Farm

Beautiful. Wonderful hosts. Next to the beach and a wonderful town nearby .

1 night at BIGFOOT FLAT on Willow Creek

Absolutely charming, well appointed, private and restful. I had a wonderful time, felt safe and well cared for. Shannon is gracious and welcoming. Every detail was taken care of. The historic vibe was the best!

1 night at Redwoods Rest Stop

Nice and quiet away from all the hustle and bustle. I used a tent and probably not recommend it for a tent because of all the gravel. But as advertised, it would be great for an RV or pop-up or something like that. Joanne was very pleasant

1 night at Whispering Redwood Creek

Super sick spot! Bathroom was well maintained/lit up which was a nice touch. Directions were clear, was doubtful at times but just gotta trust it and you’ll be alright. Would definitely stay again. Beautiful spot and pretty secluded.

1 night at Drive Way Getta Away…

I was in dire need in the late evening after confusion with another reservation not far from here. I contacted Jeffrey pretty late, but he was willing to allow me to park in the spot and sleep for the night. This place is close to many shops for early morning breakfast and Wake me up. Jeffrey was quick to answer and is a very friendly guy. Thank you Jeffrey. :D

1 night at Fieldbrook Gnome Dome

Great stay communicative host. Yurt is very close to residences so you can hear other people nearby but overall good experience

3 nights at Radio Ranch Camp

We had a wonderful time at Radio Ranch. We had initially planned on doing several hikes while in that area, but after spending one day on the ranch, we didn’t want to leave. It was so relaxing just to sit by the waterfall and read! All of the accommodations and amenities were perfect and we were really comfortable. I would 100% recommend this place!

1 night at Bayside Cabin

Great place! Very beautifully built and has all the amenities you would need. Thank you for having us stay!

1 night at Salmon Creek RV Camping

The property was beautiful. The host were courteous. The views were spectacular. 4 miles of bumpy road to get there, but it was worth it.

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 Little Haven Gardens

Laurie has a great spot in a beautiful rural part of Humboldt - 5 min from Eureka to the South or Arcata to the North. Nestled among small hobby farms she has access to a green space adjacent to her property, or it is a lovely walk up the lane to a trail amongst the ferns and Redwoods. The grassy camping area is perfect for tents or a camper van. We were able to get our 23' travel trailer situated, but it was a bit tight - I'd be hesitant to squeeze in anything bigger, especially if youre not comfortable backing a trailer. Once we were set up though, we had enough room to put out the awning and spend time outside. There is a hedge separating the site and the house, so we never lacked for privacy. Laurie shared we were the first trailer on her spot, so we were glad it worked out so well!

Seven Sister's Sanctuary

1 site · Lodging8 acres · Arcata, CA

This property is nestled in a little valley one ridge over from the Mad River which flows to the ocean 5 miles away as the crow flies. Warmer in the summer and just beyond the fog belt we can have 80 degrees in the summer while the coast is in the 60's. A bit colder in the winter than the coast, we have been known to have a dusting or a couple inches of snow (although it never sticks around). The beginnings of Warren creek form the eastern boundary to the property where salmonids have been tracked by Fish and Game. A year round spring feeds a pond which then feeds another creek on the west side of the property. Besides field and meadow there is lush forest with a variety of trees including: Cascara, Willow, Alder, Redwood, Cedar, Maple, Spruce and Fir. This land was the home of one of the richest race car drivers in the area who legend says had regular shoot outs with the police! Since then the land has been cleansed, blessed and used for many sacred gatherings, weddings and ceremonies and was home to a moonlodge-TreeWoman for several years. There we had regular new moon gatherings for local women. It is an honor and privilege to share this space with you. Learn more about this land: Enjoy your own private meadow cabin at the end of the lane, just a minute walk from the communal parking area. Rustic yet comfy, leave your TV behind and cozy up next to your campfire; savor morning coffee with the resident deer and towering Redwoods. Bike down scenic West End Road to Blue Lake and the Mad River. Make a stop at the local brewery after a stroll on the river trail. It is an easy 15 minute drive to the nearest beaches with hiking and biking trails nearby. In the winter, take a 40 minute drive to Horse mountain where you can cross country ski with a distant view of the ocean. This land is sacred to us and has been the site of multiple spiritual ceremonies, workshops and seasonal gatherings, including wedding celebrations. You may see us working around the land occasionally as we live in the main house also on the property. This is not a perfectly groomed lawn type of area. We do mow paths and sitting spaces but the ground can be uneven at times and much growth is kept natural for wildlife habitat. As stewards of this property, we value the wildlife safety and honor the presence of all creatures with minimal disruption. Wildlife that have visited include but not limited to: deer, fox, bear, skunk, opossum, mountain lion, owls and hawks. You may hear our ducks on occasion but fear not, they are trained not to attack! Our two cats may come to inspect visitors and may decide to join you for morning coffee in your covered outdoor lounging area. The Meadow cabin was originally built to house our extensive water filtration system, then expanded as a horse shelter and garden space as well as a honey processing house. We affectionately call it our "Honey House". On several occasions it was the site of regular African initiation medicine journeys. The fire pit in front of the cabin was created as a sacred fire spot. We strive for organic chemical free living as much as possible. Soaps, shampoos, and cleaning supplies are provided. If you bring your own please be conscientious. Please no highly scented perfumes or lotions. There is an infrared sauna on site as well, convenient to your shower and tub. Directions for use are in the informational binder. The indoor studio style living space is shoes off so bring some clean indoor shoes/slippers to wear if desired. Heating is by a small electric fireplace/stove. There is a queen size bed and a single overhead bunk (max 250lbs). Kitchen amenities include a hotplate, toaster/bake oven, electric tea kettle and skillet and a kitchen sink as well as a large refrigerator. This is a solar powered household with filtered well water. Hot water outdoor shower, tub and custom made pooper. Our home made compost toilet is simple to use. Preferably solids only (feel free to pee in the field) after which a scoop of cedar shavings is dumped on top. Cell phone service may be spotty. Just beyond the fire pit is often better reception. Please drive slow on the 1/3 mile long gravel drive to get to our sanctuary at the end of the lane. Our country lane is perfect for a stroll under the stars. At times you can even hear the roar of the ocean approximately 5 miles to the west as the crow flies. It is very dark at night with no street lights or bright porch lights so make sure you bring a flashlight. We do have neighbors and you may hear others doing yardwork, calling for their animals or the sound of chickens, occasionally dogs and ducks. This space is a peaceful retreat but please do not expect complete silence all the time. We have lived here for over 35 years and have experience on the rivers, oceans and trails and are happy to share information on where to go and what to see if so desired.

Wendy & John Farm

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents80 acres · Ferndale, CA

My aunt and uncle bought the property in 1947 from itsfirst European settler, Paolo Gabrielli, who immigrated in early 1914 from northern Italy with slips of his grapevine in the lining of his coat. (The grapevine still grows over the back deck.) What can you expect? Quiet, beauty, birdsong, ocean roar, widely spaced campsites (only 5 on the 5 acres set aside for camping), extra stuff to purchase if you need or want it (fresh bread, soup, cobbler). Free firewood, local tips on travel and where to hike or what to visit. Or total solitude. Bring your (most non-cattle-chasing breeds) dogs if you wish (males must be neutered). Starlink internet. Walk to the beach of our wild ocean along a no-shoulder country road. We have no visible neighbors, no ambient light or sound. The air is clean and clear and the water is potable from an artesian spring on the property. No electricity at the sites and no generators allowed. (Charge your electronics at the farmhouse.) We offer homemade soup, cobbler, fresh bread, & morning coffee as $extras; you can order with the booking. The Victorian village of Ferndale is three miles east, as is a beautifully maintained 110-acre town wilderness with hiking trails called Russ Park. A 150-year-old cemetery slopes down a hillside & is filled with 19th century charm and history. Shops and restaurants welcome visitors. There are several bars/a wine bar/and a historic saloon that's as old boy as it was in 1890. A music venue in a restored 19th century church has amazing acoustics and attracts international talent as a top-notch venue (sessions are filmed for PBS) midway between Portland and San Francisco. So, it's a mix of town and country, village and farm, wilderness and bewilderedness. Safe, safe, safe, meaning: you can leave your belongings in your site and when you come back... they're still there :) We welcome the world.

The Fairy Forest

The Fairy Forest is 4 acres of redwood trees one mile from the magical city of Trinidad, CA. People have been camping in our meadow since the 1950's, and I'm happy to carry on the tradition, by opening it up to you. There was a fire on the property in 1901 which left the burnt out hollow stumps which you'll see by the shower. There's one old growth redwood on the property, behind the glampy tent, but everything else in roughly 120 years old. Every year we try to make your glamping experience better and better. This year, we've added an artisan picnic table, built on site, and some solar lights leading to the shower. Outdoor sink and cook space is next on our list! There used to be two campsites on our property, but we closed down one of them to give guests in the glampy tent exclusive usage of the outdoor shower and porta potty. We are also renting out our cabin this year, which has been our home for the last 3 years. There's 10 local beaches to explore in the area, great little restaurants and businesses, and countless trails- including Strawberry Rock, which is right down the street from us. We're 19 miles away from Orick, which is the gateway to Fern Canyon (make a reservation in advance) and all the trails with old growth redwoods. And we're 16 miles from Arcata, a vibrant, colorful and creative city that is home to the first farmer's market in California, which is quite the experience if you find yourself here on a Saturday. Hope you come and stay with us if you find yourself on the Lost Coast.

Wendy & John Farm

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents80 acres · Ferndale, CA

My aunt and uncle bought the property in 1947 from itsfirst European settler, Paolo Gabrielli, who immigrated in early 1914 from northern Italy with slips of his grapevine in the lining of his coat. (The grapevine still grows over the back deck.) What can you expect? Quiet, beauty, birdsong, ocean roar, widely spaced campsites (only 5 on the 5 acres set aside for camping), extra stuff to purchase if you need or want it (fresh bread, soup, cobbler). Free firewood, local tips on travel and where to hike or what to visit. Or total solitude. Bring your (most non-cattle-chasing breeds) dogs if you wish (males must be neutered). Starlink internet. Walk to the beach of our wild ocean along a no-shoulder country road. We have no visible neighbors, no ambient light or sound. The air is clean and clear and the water is potable from an artesian spring on the property. No electricity at the sites and no generators allowed. (Charge your electronics at the farmhouse.) We offer homemade soup, cobbler, fresh bread, & morning coffee as $extras; you can order with the booking. The Victorian village of Ferndale is three miles east, as is a beautifully maintained 110-acre town wilderness with hiking trails called Russ Park. A 150-year-old cemetery slopes down a hillside & is filled with 19th century charm and history. Shops and restaurants welcome visitors. There are several bars/a wine bar/and a historic saloon that's as old boy as it was in 1890. A music venue in a restored 19th century church has amazing acoustics and attracts international talent as a top-notch venue (sessions are filmed for PBS) midway between Portland and San Francisco. So, it's a mix of town and country, village and farm, wilderness and bewilderedness. Safe, safe, safe, meaning: you can leave your belongings in your site and when you come back... they're still there :) We welcome the world.
