Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to The Olive Farm

The camp site was great. Plenty of room for everyone to camp in tents and camp vans. Three of us stayed in the cabin. The camp is very clean and the sink and water hose are very convenient. There is a nice shady spot at the pond to sit. We saw lots of different wild life. I would recommend this site for a nice relaxing time. Just keep in mind that there is a short steep grade to get to the site, it is key to not slow down or stop to get up the grade.

2 nights at The Olive Farm

Seriously amazing stay. Feels ultra private when just minutes from amenities. Can’t recommend it enough!

Weekend Trip to The Olive Farm

Our group loved staying at Sam’s campsite! Lots of space, quiet and everything you need for group camping!

1 night at #2 HMB Highway Overnight Rest Stop

Description is accurate. A mile walk to the beach. Hard to find - but it was a great spot.

1 night at Sleep Up High In A Redwood Tree-net

My friend and I had the COOLEST time here. Would absolutely recommend it. It was pretty comfortable up there, and so nice to wake up to the birds in the morning. I hope to do it again!

1 night at The Olive Farm

Our family had a fabulous stay at the Olive Camp! The location was stellar - close to civilization but felt very remote! The camp was roomy, clean, quiet and private. The pond, potable water and sink were bonuses! Sam, the host, was communicative and accommodating. Will stay again and highly recommend!

1 night at Once Upon a Ranch

It’s a nice farm. Kids had a great time. The host is super nice. You can see the trains come by which is beautiful at night under the stars. I recommend renting a E bike . It was fun riding around the farm.

Weekend Trip to Once Upon a Ranch

Nouae and his daughter were wonderful hosts. Even though we had crazy weather, we had a nice relaxing time. Large sites, nice bathrooms, and we really liked the goats and pigs.

1 night at The Ranch at Cross Road

It was a very nice location with well attended amenities

Weekend Trip to Above the Clouds RV Park

Amazing night skies, great views of Sonoma Valley in daylight. Hosts were quite charming and very accommodating. Easy access to hiking and Sonoma Vineyards. Will definitely be back!

1 night at Once Upon a Ranch

We had a great stay at one upon a ranch. Check in instructions were clear and the host, Nouae was really helpful. He even helped jumpstart my car when I killed the battery. Bathroom was clean. Was very windy but that’s out of anyone’s control!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

My husband and 2 teen boys stayed here for a night before heading into San Francisco for a night on a cross country trip. They had a great stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Weekend Trip to Blackberry Farm

Beautiful meadow camping spot! This is the perfect place if you enjoy having lots of comforts …but not packing them yourself. Well stocked shared outdoor kitchen and sheltered eating area, showers, fire pit and a heavenly hot tub. Super cute and well maintained, great for kids to run around and minutes from the beach and small town.

4 nights at Above the Clouds RV Park

Such a beautiful property! We stayed for Bottlerock so we didn’t spend a lot of time at camp, but the views were magnificent. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Would love to come back in the summer when we can take advantage of the lovely pool.

Weekend Trip to The Olive Farm

We loved our trip! Appreciated the sink for rinsing dishes and the string lights were a nice touch. The rope swing was a huge hit with the kids, as was the porch/"stage". We didn't end up using the pond much, too murky for swimming (at least for us) and we're not fishers. Overall nothing fancy, but a great private and quiet spot for a family getaway.

Weekend Trip to Once Upon a Ranch

Loved watching the sheep and goats! Hosts respected our privacy!

Weekend Trip to Redwood Retreat

Enjoyed camping out for a night here, the hammock was a nice touch, bring your own tables and chairs and such though. Lovely surroundings, and some privacy behind the camper which was nice. Sweet spot!

Weekend Trip to Slide Ranch Campsites

absolutely stunning. the kitchen was very useful and thoughtfully stocked. kind, quiet, and respectful neighbors and you can’t beat the views!! campsite also connects to plenty of hiking trails nearby :)

Weekend Trip to Once Upon a Ranch

Nice setup! Bathrooms are great, friendly host, good separation between sites. My kids loves seeing the animals.

Weekend Trip to Blackberry Farm

I loved camping on Sirima’s land! The instructions to get there were super clear, and there was a charming outdoor bathroom, little kitchen with portable gas stoves and cooking utensils, and shared fire pit. The farm animals were so sweet, and the mornings brought beautiful views of mist rising over the water and nearby mountains. I strongly recommend camping here, it was such a wonderful stay!

Today, the 7-acre farm is being restored to sustainably support fruit orchards, cottage flower and kitchen gardens, honey bees, a boisterous flock of chickens, and naughty shetland sheep. Our self-serve farmstand attached to our barn has seasonal flowers, organic eggs, heirloom fruit, and local goods from the farm. Our property is the perfect rustic getaway for backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts. You’ll be surrounded by farm/ranch life: chickens clucking, roosters crowing, bees buzzing, and sheep bleating.

Blackberry Farm

6 sites · Lodging, Tents6 acres · Bolinas, CA

Blackberry Farm sits on the western side of Mount Tamalpais, tucked in the Gospel Flat area of Bolinas. The family farm and residence were established during the late 1970s on the site of the historic Peter’s Dairy Ranch. The original farmhouse dates back to the late 19th century and survived the great 1906 earthquake. Today, the 7-acre farm is being restored to sustainably support fruit orchards, cottage flower and kitchen gardens, honey bees, a boisterous flock of chickens, and naughty shetland sheep. Our self-serve farmstand attached to our barn has seasonal flowers, organic eggs, heirloom fruit, and local goods from the farm. Our property is the perfect rustic getaway for backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts. You’ll be surrounded by farm/ranch life: chickens clucking, roosters crowing, bees buzzing, and sheep bleating. We also have active nighttime wildlife: coyotes howling, raccoons foraging, owls hooting, etc. Bring earplugs if nature sounds are too much for you. We offer 4 walk-in tent sites that allow you to immerse yourself in nature. We welcome well-behaved pets ON LEASH that won’t harass the chickens, cats, sheep, other campers, or residents. Unruly pets and their campers will be asked to leave. No refund. Limit: 1 dog per site. Pitch your tent in a meadow shared by: Campsite 1 - left side of the meadow, closest to the common area and hot tub. Campsite 2 - middle of the meadow, closest to our fenced apiary and bee garden. Campsite 3 - right side of the meadow, near the orchard. (sites 1 and 3 are next to each other) Campsite 4 - front of the pasture, closest to the parking area (best for car/van campers wanting space to lounge near their parked vehicle.) Multiple sites may be booked for group camping. Sites 1 and 3 are next to each other under the Cypress Trees. Add site 2 if you would like the entire back half of the campground. Add site 4 if you'd like to have a maximum number of 16 total campers and 2 tents/per site. The common area has an outdoor shower, hot tub, covered bbq/cook area, tented (weather-protected) hangout space, and a place to stash your surfboard. The pizza oven is not available for campground use. Redwood Grove hangout areas have seating and tree swings. Please pack out your trash. We offer a recycling bin for glass bottles, cans, and clean paper. Parking is 100 yds or less from the campsites.
