Weekend Trip to Beautiful Retreat in Private Forest

Great site! The hosts were so great to talk to, they shared great information about the local flora and fauna! We found so many banana slugs, we loved it! Super clean potty too :)

Weekend Trip to Wendy & John Farm

We felt so warmly welcomed by John and Wendy, they were amazing hosts! The homemade soup, bread, and cobbler were to die for. It's only a mile away from the beach. Would 100% recommend this beautiful place!

Weekend Trip to Lost Coast, Oceanview Retreat

This is an artful and peaceful home for retreat. The garden is lush, the sounds of the ocean and birds fill the air. My kids and I look forward to returning.

1 night at Lost Coast Basecamp

Blue was very nice and helpful. We only stayed one night but it was great. Cool piece of land with amazing views.

1 night at Gomde Buddhist Meditation Center

I was the only camper on the weekday night I went and that was lovely, so serene. I spent a few hours painting on the beautiful property. It was quiet, the most peaceful nights sleep I’ve had on this trip. Showers and facilities were great. The wild turkeys were intimidated by their reflection in my RVs bumper which was entertaining. Would definitely come back, I felt very safe here.

Weekend Trip to Wendy & John Farm

John was super friendly and accommodating. We parked our van on the field and it was beautiful. Save some time to check out Ferndale. It’s a really cute town.

Weekend Trip to Ocean-view Redwood Forest Glamping

Ben and Grace are excellent hosts. The accommodations are what is expected for a cabin experience in the woods. Outdoor lighting, fire pit, propane heater and more are included. I’d recommend this place.

2 nights at Gomde Buddhist Meditation Center

Thank you very much for this pleasant stay. The host was very friendly and the surroundings very quiet. We were able to relax very well and enjoy the beautiful nature in the camp. The sanitary facilities were very clean. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place close to nature, you should definitely come here!

1 night at Gomde Buddhist Meditation Center

Great spot to park my van overnight! Joseph was easy to communicate with and welcoming. The sight was easy to get to and having access to a hot shower was amazing during the cold rain. It was nice to sleep among the trees, would recommend!

1 night at Wendy & John Farm

I had a wonderful night at John and Wendy’s land. John greeted me on arrival and even got a fire going for me in the rain. My only regret is I didn’t have time to explore the land!

Weekend Trip to Gomde Buddhist Meditation Center

Nicely laid out campground with sounds of the river below. Excellent bathhouse with hot showers. The herd of deer wandering around were a nice touch too.

Weekend Trip to Chemise Mountain Retreat

Beautiful location in the forest - very peaceful and with trails straight from the campsite. Very close to Shelter Cover, which has stunning beaches and restaurants. Bonnie was a great host and the facilities (cabin and toilet/shower) were clean and very useful.

1 night at Humboldt Hills Experience

Excellent communication, directions and hospitality. We enjoyed that is feels away from it all but not too far off the beaten path for exploring the redwoods and coast. Will go back when the orchards are in bloom!

1 night at Wendy & John Farm

Loved the night we spent at Wendy and John's farm! Although we arrived late, both Wendy and John were available for our needs. The camp site was perfect with a tent, firepit, bathroom and warm shower! We had the place to ourselves so the location on the property was also perfect.

1 night at Eel River Escape

Great, cleared spot for our tent. We arrived after dark but everything was easy to find. Roscoe (little red dog) greeted us nicely. Season was super friendly and made sure we were set for the night. 10/10, would go back.

Weekend Trip to Lucky Penny Laytonville

This camping area is so nice and in a really cute town. The host couldn’t have been more sweet and accommodating even though we were there during the off season. The trees were so dreamy and falling asleep to the rain was so ideal. The outdoor kitchen area was very well equipped and we would definitely visit again!

1 night at Gomde Buddhist Meditation Center

We were so grateful for Joseph hosting us! We got a sweet little spot on a really well-maintained and very secure location. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. We really appreciated getting to take a hot shower on a chilly morning. We would absolutely return again!

Weekend Trip to Wendy & John Farm

Welcoming! As advertised and very beautiful. Hosts were kind and accommodating.

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.

Meadow Farm & Forest

9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents28 acres · Fort Bragg, CA

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. Our garden is reduced this time of year but we may still have something to share. 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.
