Redwood and knotty pine hand crafted 31' high tree cabin accessible by ladder only for those 18 years and older. There is a portable toilet on the wraparound deck and an electric luggage lift to get your gear up there safely. It has power and heat and a coffee maker, mini fridge, coffee, and tea. Also some cozy hooded rubs to make your way down to the hot tub in.

Weekend Trip to Moon Bear Lodge

An unforgettable experience! Can’t recommend the treehouse enough. Every touch was so thoughtful and considered. The charming nearby town of Occidental was a great place to bop around and enjoy dinner. Miss J was a great and responsive host. Can’t wait to come back!

2 nights at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping

Very comfortable mattress! Cozy glamping tent with side tables and rug. Ample toilets and potable water in addition to shower house. Definitely will go back!

1 night at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping

Such a lovely spot! Really enjoyed our stay glamping at Sugar Loaf. It was perfect for my two kids (5 and 2) and they had such a nice time! The nature was great, we saw deers and turkeys on our small hike to the creek and up the hillside. The toilets and showers were clean. Would definitely come back again!

3 nights at Moon Bear Lodge

Paradise with the loveliest hosts you'll ever meet. We loved our time in the trees! Stay a couple nights if you can.

3 nights at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping

Our Tent Cabin had comfortable beds that kept us warm, dry and cozy during our 3 night stay at Sugarloaf Ridge SP, while our sons stayed in campsites nearby. There are many trails around, including a "Planet Walk" where you'll learn about our solar system and planets' relative distances from the sun. We saw waterfalls, lots of flowers, mountain vistas during the day, the stars and an almost full-moon at night. Friendly Volunteers help Park Workers lovingly maintain the beautiful campground and its many trails. There are small outhouses near each site; and, clean bathrooms and showers with hot water (a Quarter buys 5-minutes) at camp. Historic wineries (Kunde, Chateau St. Jean, Ledson, etc.) and many good places to eat are nearby. It was a lovely way to spend Spring Break with our family!

Weekend Trip to Moon Bear Lodge

We loved the tree house! We had such a magical time together here— from star gazing in the hot tub, to creature sightings (we saw a little fox and a skunk), drinking hot coco in the robes they provided, and soaking up the beauty of the redwoods and wild flowers! Jessica and her family were the most incredible hosts! They even sent us home with a bag of freshly picked Santa Rosa lemons. We had the most magical time and will certainly be back to this incredible oasis!

Weekend Trip to Moon Bear Lodge

It's hard to know where to start, but it's easy to say that your time here will make it feel hard to leave. The land and the space the owners have created is the ultimate retreat. From the serenity circle with it's warm firepit, to the hammocks and swings where you can lay with a good book, or the coziest treehouse, where after you adventure up the ladder you get to wrap yourself in blankets and nap on a human-sized beanbag. They have a hot tub where you can watch the sun set behind the mountains, kayaks to adventure on the russian river, private yoga lessons, massage treatments if you need some relaxation, mountain bikes for the many local trails...the list goes on. The town is also absolutely adorable and just down the road. I would come back and definitely stay awhile.

Weekend Trip to Moon Bear Lodge

The treehouse was incredible! So many meticulous details. The hosts were incredibly kind and were so generous with their time and property. We got to borrow their mountain bikes and do a little ride nearby. The location is perfect — close to many hikes and cycling trails — and you can still drive to the town nearby if needed. Everything about the place was magical and the hosts really went way above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

1 night at Moon Bear Lodge

This was the dreamiest space in the woods with all the luxurious touches that made it feel like home! The tree cabin was so warm and cozy, convenient with the bathroom, keurig, and other amenities upstairs while downstairs the full trailer with kitchen and a gorgeous hot tub made everything easy. Miss J was warm and welcoming, we loved meeting her!

The tree cabin at Moon Bear Lodge was truly incredible! Such a cozy place to stay. Jessica was a great host as well and gave us a tour of the property! Would highly recommend :)

Weekend Trip to CAMP CAZ

This location is incredible and so well equipped! We stayed for 2 nights and it had everything we needed for a great time: bbq, fire pit, trail to the river, outdoor bathtub (with hot water!), a 5 min drive to the general store, and privacy from the outside world. I cannot recommend Carrie’s place enough 👍

Weekend Trip to CAMP CAZ

Amazing place! The cabin was so well-maintained, and organized and well-stocked. The land was amazing with great creek walks for the kids. My 5 year old woke up in the middle of the night to tell me she didn't want to leave. Best Hipcamp experience we have had!

Weekend Trip to Bay View "Tree House"

Such a neat space. Close to town but nestled into the landscape so you forget as soon as your back.

Weekend Trip to CAMP CAZ

Beautiful property with an excellent hike down to the water in a great location. We were there in January 2025 and it was very cozy -- the cabin stays plenty warm. The cabin faces north and has a steep hill behind it, so no directly sunlight while we were there. No worries for us though, as we just wanted the peace and tranquility.

Weekend Trip to Moon Bear Lodge

I took my wife to stay in the treehouse for our anniversary and we absolutely loved it. The host is very nice, welcoming and made our stay enjoyable. It does get cold, but there are heaters in the treehouse that keep you warm, a warm jacuzzi and warm blankets. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Valley views are truly breathtaking. LOVE the treehouse & cabin!! Amazing even in rain & fog. Just MAGICAL sunrises & sunsets!! Property is beautifully laid out. Very private. Tons of character & fascinating history. A must & totally worth every penny!! Definitely heavenly!!

Weekend Trip to Moon Bear Lodge

My partner and I had such a wonderful experience in the tree cabin. Miss J was incredibly welcoming, approachable, and made sure we had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay and then some. The tree cabin is very magical. You get all the comfort and coziness on the inside and all of the fun and adventure right outside. We had a great time exploring the property, soaking in the hot tubs, and making smores in the fire pit (which Miss J and company graciously helped to set up for us when we wanted to use it). This is a fantastic place to stay and we look forward to coming back and enjoying again sometime soon! Thank you Miss J!

Weekend Trip to Whaleback Ridge Cabins & Camp

Despite the expected off-season rain, I had a nice time here although I did camp further up the hill to be close to facilities and lovely views. Dan was very helpful and answered my many questions promptly and the area is very beautiful. Close to Calistoga for mud baths and great breakfasts too...

Whaleback Ridge Cabins & Camp

10 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents34 acres · Calistoga, CA

Welcome to our family land! We now offer 3 options for guests, 5 minutes from the Petrified Forest, and 10 minutes from beautiful Calistoga, mud baths, the restaurant and fun bar scene. I teach at SF State, and maintain hipcamp on my spare time to share an affordable option for travelers coming through our area, who appreciate nature and will respect our land. Our land borders Sonoma and Napa Counties, technically in Calistoga, and we boast gorgeous views and peaceful nature settings. We are a heavy nature camp: bugs, coyotes heard in the distance, etc. With the exception of Coral Cabin (which is full service), this is a "user responsible" site, essentially meaning Shaded Oak and Married Manzanitas are 'leave no trace' sites. I provide garbage bags, you pack your trash and take it to the lower garbage bins when you depart your stay. There are also supplied disinfectant towelettes, sprays and other cleaning supplies for a quick wipe down of surfaces when you leave, and if needed/preferred upon arrival. No cleaning service, no cleaning fee, guests responsible for cleaning up after themselves with supplies provided. If that's OK with you, read on! Thank you! Whaleback Ridge has 3 main sites that overlook “the Whaleback Ridge” to the North, named by my great-great grandparents who settled here 100 years ago. The top of the Whaleback Ridge is seen from the camps on the north-side far edge of our 34-acre property, and is accessible by trails (a hiking map will be sent to you upon booking). The lower, private sites, overlooking this ridgeline through the trees, are called the Shaded Oak and the Married Manzanitas - both are very rustic and outdoorsy. Shaded Oak is the only RV site (unless you rent Coral Cabin which has large flat area just outside), but is limited to shorter trailers with 4wd trucks only, or Class B RVs (see pics). The upper site, the Coral Cabin, shares the hilltop with our main house (there is a quiet, respectful family that lives there - close but private) and shared Hilltop 360 Station. Coral Cabin is the most outfitted, and is the most accessible - but also with an compost toilet outhouse, outdoor shower, sink, etc. The Coral Cabin has the best views, but everyone can also access the views by walking up to the Hilltop 360 Station, which is technically a shared space, but campers will likely have it to themselves. *We have a 14-year old dog at the Hilltop 360 Station! She is a husky-akida mix (her name is "Beautiful"), she lives in the main house with her mom and has a dog door to come and go to everything she needs. She will bark at you at first, but please don't be alarmed - she has never bitten anyone and she makes friends quickly if you call her by name and are friendly. She also loves other dogs - only been aggressive once with a dog larger than her who was aggressive. She might become your best friend, as she is very sweet the second she warms up to you. Overview of Sites (more details in site descriptions): Shaded Oak ($59/night 4ppl, more $10 each), smaller RV accessible**, a prime tent spot, propane fire ring, compost toilet "throne" at your site. Tables and chairs. Water provided for hand/dishwashing; b-y-o drinking water. Shower at shared Hilltop 360 Station. **(trailers over 10 feet likely need 4WD truck pulling it and be skilled at backing in; teardrop trailers & Class B RVs are optimal size and relatively easy to back in). Married Manzanitas Camp and Cabin ($79/night up to 6 ppl), walk-in OR high clearance vehicle only, 1 large tent spot AND access to 2-person camp cabin. Tables and chairs, 2 adirondack loungers, gas stove and limited cooking/eating utensils. Water provided for hand/dishwashing; b-y-o drinking water. Private/exclusive hot outdoor shower with redwood platform and riverstones - fed by hose at hilltop (you will have to walk up to turn on the right, red hose 1/4 turn). Compost toilet "throne" at your site. Camp cabin included! Bare bones, comes ready to throw your sleeping bag or put your own sheets and pillows on the full bed (very comfy futon) - or pitch a tent and use the cabin for storage or to chill out - or both with a larger group. Coral Cabin ($109/night +$30 cleaning, up to 2 ppl, more $10 each to pitch tent/RV), drive up to doorway, direct access to Hilltop 360 Station (kitchen, shower, tubs). Cabin has electricity, AC unit, wifi access, TV with Roku, comfy loveseat. Enjoy some interesting books. Bed comes freshly made and there is a cleaning service so no need to tidy up on departure. This is our "glamping" cabin with amazing views and walks, outdoor amenities, compost toilet just outside the cabin, hilltop shower steps away. $30 cleaning fee goes directly to cleaner. Hilltop 360 Station: a shared space (only if there are other campers) has: Outdoor kitchen with stainless countertop, running water, propane grill, electrical outlets, and wifi - access to shed with microwave, coffee maker, mini-fridge with freezer, lots of plates/cookware/silverware to use. Games and books! Gas campstove is in the yellow shed attached to outdoor kitchen area. Hammocks in camp station can easily be clipped on to take a load off; second hammock also available in treehouse. And there's a swing to enjoy! Shower/tubs: The on-demand propane heated shower is right in the camp station, guarded by a privacy barrier all around except the lookout over the mountain. If you want a hot tub in either the private smaller tub or larger tub next to it, contact Dan ($10 as 'extra' if desired). Hot water turns on automatically when you turn blue dial at base of water pipe to heater. Compost toilets: there are separate seats for #1 and #2; #1 is PEE ONLY on the LOW SEAT (or blue commode at lower sites) and is over an open pit - don't put used TP here... and #2 is POO only on the HIGH SEAT atop the throne, you can put all TP here, and after your #2 ADD a scoop/layer of MULCH/DRY LEAVES (NOT DIRT) over it to completely cover sight and smell. #1 in lower seats can be covered with a scoop/layer of dirt OR leaves. Again, mulch/leaves should fully cover any sight and smell of your biz after using the thrones. Garbage: Please use the trash bags provided, tie your trash bag, and on departure deposit tied bag in the FARTHEST grey bin from the "5895" mailbox. Recycle can be deposited in the blue bin. Thank you! Other notes: You may need to rinse dishes, etc. before use as dust and spiderwebs accumulate up here. Feel free to use cleaning supplies to evict any daddy-long legs if they bother you. Want some activities? Kayak and all gear/2 life vests/ratchet strap to tie to roof ($20); tennis rackets/balls for court in town ($10); 2-4 person tent ($10/night). Games and books are free to use! - please replace as you found them. *In emergencies or stuck cars, our resident at the main house can usually help with his truck - after work hours - for a $15 emergency help fee if he's available, and has graciously done so before. Venmo him directly. But remember, Dan is the main point of contact by text and I can ask him for help. If you need WIFI to send a text, you can connect at the Hilltop 360 View Station. Wifi Info is on the google doc that I will send to your phone or email upon booking; I recommend downloading the doc to your phone in case you don't have service:) *Steer clear of the neighbors down the hill - the first house you see when you drive up the driveway. They are my cousins, and not part of hipcamp. Please do not approach the lower house or invade their privacy. This is a beautiful, serene, and peaceful spot! We invite you to come contribute to that energy.
