Weekend Trip to Redwood Retreat

We van camped and it was great! A hammock and evening lights were provided. So was a small grill, but we didn't use it.

1 night at Delta Meadows River Camp

This is such a cool secret spot! Dino was awesome! He met us as we arrived, let us get settled and then gave us a quick walking tour of Locke, which has such an interesting and colorful history, we had no idea! Thanks Dino as we 100% would have missed that if not for you! There’s a great bar nearby, plus a couple restaurants if you don’t want to cook. There are some great paths for walking your dog (and lots of little bunnies hopping around) and you can be at the water’s edge of the Delta within minutes. You gotta check out Dino’s vintage campers, soooo cool. Close to Sacramento but feels so far away! Highly recommend.

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 Blackberry Farm

Such a special spot! A perfect grassy meadow tucked away on a farm next to the ocean. Nice cool breeze when we were there. Just down the street from small family owned grocery, restaurant, bar, hardware store and beach. Daughter and I surfed and hit the hot tub and shower afterwards. Beautiful area…dreamy. You just may be inspired to start a farm yourself after visiting. Flushing toilets decently good. Shower, powered by propane a little wonky but it works. You can make it super cold too if you’re into that. Overall pleasant stay and will definitely be back. If you’re lucky you’ll get to see the sheep, llama and ‘78 Westy

Weekend Trip to Blackberry Farm

This farm is heaven! Peaceful, beautiful, wonderful location. The hot tub is blissful.

Weekend Trip to Lobitos Creek

We loved our weekend here! Visited with my two young kids who loved howling with the coyotes, spotting bunnies, and chasing lizards.

1 night at Dreamy California Coast Airstreams

Beautiful views. Easily accessible and well maintained airstream. Would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Kings Mountain Camp w/ ocean views

We had the most spectacular time here. Absolutely stunning. Hike down and up was steep and difficult - well worth it, but definitely worth noting. Would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat and if we were local we would stay here often for sure. Thanks again for having us 💕

Weekend Trip to Sleep Up High In A Redwood Tree-net

Really calming place. Much more comfortable than expected. Was a nice respite. And the restaurant around the corner has really great food!

Weekend Trip to Slide Ranch Campsites

The location, views, and accessibility were perfect. Just that Wright mix of roughing it and ease.

Weekend Trip to Slide Ranch Campsites

Stunning views and wonderful trails. My 5-year old and I had a great time camping here and enjoyed seeing the animals and exploring the rocky tide pools and trails. It was the biggest adventure of his life so far and he can't stop talking about it. The staff we met was so friendly and my kid even got to help milk a goat. The soothing ocean sound helped us sleep well and we enjoyed having breakfast in the dome where we made coffee and hot chocolate. It's definitely not glamping; there are few amenities and it's a bit of a trek to get to the campsite but we loved that as we felt more connected to nature and had privacy.

Weekend Trip to Blackberry Farm

What a lovely stay. The property is quiet and beautiful, the amenities are ample, and our hosts were lovely. Tent sites are adjacent, so you will get to know your neighbors if you have any. When were were there in early June, there were generally 1-2 other parties present. It was so fun to see the sheep, chickens and even llama, and even better to have a fully stocked camp kitchen and running hot water. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

I really liked the tent camping and the sites were far apart. The area was suitable for Astrophotography although there was a bit of light glow from the town of Livermore. The facilities were operable and clean. Nice to wake up with the sounds from the farm animals. Thank you very much for hosting! Bobby

Weekend Trip to May's Luxury Farmstays

This is a beautiful property!! It was so peaceful. We loved all the hens and roosters running around, they were so friendly. The koi pond is so cute with a nice deck and picnic table to eat or relax at. They even provided fish food, so that was cool. We also loved the mixture of rustic and modern in the cabin. There were tons of amenities like heated floors, fancy shower heads, pantry food, fresh eggs, full bar, fully stocked kitchen, and even stuff like swim toys, high chair, and pack n play for kids. I liked that both bedrooms had their own TV. And two full bathrooms was pretty sweet too! Comfy beds. Tons of extra pillows and blankets, even heated blankets. The deck had a fire pit and bbq, and even a sink. We didn’t get a chance to try the outdoor bathtub, but it looked relaxing! My only complaint is the living room furniture could use an update, the recliner part of the chair was broken, and the futon wasn’t the comfiest, but minor issue considering how awesome everything else about the place was. The owners were super accommodating, anything we needed they took care of right away. We felt very welcome there! And we already plan on coming back.

Weekend Trip to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping

Wonderful stay. Beautiful site, great hosts. Glamping tents offer a perfect sleep. Creek is a joy to play in.

Weekend Trip to Kings Mountain Camp w/ ocean views

From the warm hosts, to the beautiful forested property and amazing views, we had a great experience and will definitely be back! Our tent was thoughtfully decorated and had all the comforts of home. The fresh eggs were a great way to start the day and the view from the fire pit area was an even better way to end a day.

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

We enjoyed the spacious field, and spectacular open to the sky shower! We were tired so mostly slept while at the site and we would recommend it!

2 nights at Blackberry Farm

We loved the charming campsite within walking distance of Bolinas. The sites are somewhat close together however the extra amenities (hot tub, shower, outdoor kitchen, etc) more than compensate. It’s the perfect spot to hang out or explore everything Marin has to offer.

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!

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.

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.

Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

1 site · Lodging350 acres · Loma Mar, CA

Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) protects open space on the Peninsula and in the South Bay for the benefit of all. Situated on top of a ridge with expansive redwood forest and coastal views, the Audrey Edna Cabin provides a completely private gathering place and destination for visitors with reservations. The cabin has spectacular views of forest, sky, ocean and the Butano ridgeline. It's a short hike to 8000+ acres of county parkland where you can hike, bike and ride horses (though please note, there are no facilities for horse boarding at the cabin.) The cabin is located at Alpine Ranch, a property adjacent to Sam McDonald County Park that was protected by Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST). Whether you are looking for an active experience or just want to relax in a peaceful, remote setting, there's something here for everyone. This is a rustic hike-in cabin designed for a introductory pack-in experience. Bedding is not provided. It is about a 1.7-mile hike on a rolling dirt road from the Sam McDonald County Park parking lot, with about 650 feet of elevation gain. Most hikers can reach the cabin in an hour or less. Guests should plan to arrive at least 2 hours before sunset, and pack water and flashlights or headlamps. Guests with limited mobility, please contact us for information regarding accommodations that will allow you to access this shared resource. *A note about reservation availability: On the weekends, POST offers priority reservations for the cabin to our partners at the San Mateo County Health Department and Park Rx to provide patients with equitable access to the benefits of nature. Occasionally, we have last-minute public weekend reservation availability due to cancellations. The cabin is reservable up to 3 months in advance, on a rolling basis. Love the idea of a hike-in cabin, but unable to visit us Sunday-Thursday? Check out the nearby Sierra Club Hiker's Hut in Sam McDonald County Park. Property History: At one time, the ridge of the Santa Cruz Mountains was a thriving center for trade between tribes of the coast and the bay, which we still find evidence of today in cultural sites and artifacts throughout the region. Native people have cared for this land since time immemorial, including the local Muwekma and Ramaytush Ohlone who are still active in the area today. This property specifically is host to a tributary to one of just a handful of waterways that support salmonids in this region, which are a species of tremendous importance to native people. Over 1000 acres here were eventually purchased by entrepreneur Ridgeway Rowley, who built a home on the ranch in the 1880s as part of an unsuccessful wedding proposal to Fannie Page, daughter of a local mill owner (ever heard of Page Mill Road?) After being rejected by Fannie, Rowley operated the ranch for a decade in conjunction with his work as District Attorney and publisher of the Palo Alto Weekly, before eventually returning to his hometown of Cortland, NY, where he lived as a bachelor until his death. Over the course of the 20th century, the ranch was divided, some parts of which became Pescadero Creek County Park. POST purchased the 350 acre home property, now called Alpine Ranch, in 2012 through our Heart of the Redwoods campaign, an initiative to protect 20,000 acres of Redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Alpine Ranch borders Pescadero Creek County Park and Sam McDonald County Park, adding to the area’s protected open space and containing more than a mile of tributaries to Pescadero Creek, which flows year-round and is a major spawning stream for steelhead trout. The Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch is situated at one of the property's most scenic overlooks. The cabin was built in the early 1900's, and completely reconstructed up to modern building codes by POST in 2018 so that all could enjoy this special place.

Kings Mountain Camp w/ ocean views

5 sites · Lodging10 acres · Woodside, CA

Breathe deep in nature on our 10-acre property on a Kings Mountain, California hillside. Our generously sized Safari-style tents offer a unique blend of comfort and adventure. Each tent has beds, down comforters, crisp cotton linens, lights, and more. Outdoor and indoor furniture and little touches that will make your stay unique. Each tent is perched on a sturdy wooden platform and features a fully furnished deck, providing a cozy space to relax and soak in the breathtaking ocean (Half Moon Bay views) and forest views (Kings Mountain). All tents include a mini fridge and a stove, ideal for light cooking, intimate fireside storytelling, and warmth during cool days.
