San Geronimo, CA · 1 site · Tent, RV
A unique experience awaits you. Spend a night sleeping 20 feet up in the air suspended between towering Redwood trees. A custom woven "treenet" by West Marin artist Andrew Castle, provides a firm surface to hang out and sleep up to 5 people on. It's like floating in space. Bring your sleeping bag, this is open air camping at its best - No roof, no floor! Wake up to the sun filtering through your temple made of trees! Rain is nearly non-existent in the Summer and early Fall in beautiful San Geronimo Valley, making this the perfect place and time to sleep out in the glory of the redwoods. Swainson's Thrush will sing at dusk, followed by the owls and coyote's yipping and howling in the middle of the night (don't let it spook you!) There is amazing hiking all around, potable water on site and a public toilet not far away.
There's parking for your camper directly next to the site, keeping your amenities close by.

Novato, CA · 2 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Excellent Group Site! We only host one group at a time so you can be with your family and friends in a large, flat and private space. Choose between the campground, the cabin, or both! You can add the cabin to your campground stay under "extras'!
The land was originally purchased in the 1980's. Since then, it has been used by four generations of the family as a place to gather, relax, camp and even celebrate. I had my wedding on the property in 2010. For a few years we held an annual music festival with the very inventive name of Samapalooza. Up to 400 people would attend the day filled with live music, food and drinks. You will still find the stage and bar we built as an outdoor kitchen and dining area.
Around 2008, my father and I planted our first olive trees. Many have been planted since which has gifted the land the timeless sense of purpose it deserves. My father dedicated his last years to tending the young trees and now I have taken the mantle to carry the farm forward.
'The Property', as it is known amongst family and friends has always been a place to camp. I have sat around the same fire ring for decades, rain or shine. I hope that fellow hipcampers can find the joy that my family and I have experienced here.
This is a very private camp on a small olive farm. Geographically close to highways and the town of Novato, Sonoma and Napa wine country, this camp feels remote and secluded. Only one camp on the property to keep it private and special. You basically have your run of the land. We have just updated the land and made some nice improvements. Located on ten acres, you will drive past a small olive grove before reaching the spacious and open campground.
Just up the hill from the camp is a private pond where you can fish, take out a small boat or just sit and watch the birds. It can be great swimming on hot summer days.
This spot has been used by the family for decades and is now open to share with fellow nature lovers.
Just a note: While the majority of the time you can expect complete privacy, this is a working olive farm. From time to time you may run into me (Sam) or someone else associated with the land. We will always do our best to respect your space.

The Meadow Grove of Hands Full Farm

(1034)
Valley Ford, CA · 5 sites · Tents, RVs
The Meadow Grove is a wild and natural pasture with campsites located near the historic Narrow Gauge Railroad bed on a family owned working ranch in coastal Northern California. The camp sites are nestled in a pasture and grove of mixed Eucalyptus, willow and cypress trees. The sites are perfect for tents or camper vans, or small trailers. [When we open in the spring, the grass can be 'slippery' and it is recommended you have 4WD. Around mid-June it is dried out enough for 2WD access to all sites]. Not suitable for RVs
It is also, managed and operated by a single mother. Please keep this in mind.
Notes about the campsites are: They each come with a picnic table. The grounds are a working ranch, so there is variations of the soil- some lumps and bumps and general natural state of a pasture v. a groomed lawn. Site #1, #2, #3, and #4 have the most level areas for parking and tent-ing.
Up until mid-June, we recommend #1 for 2WD access. Campervans that do not have 4WD may have trouble accessing other sites. Please remember this when you book!
*Campers who "change sites" without written approval by the host will be charged double!*
There is a composting camp toilet, we do not have running water at the campground.
The ranch itself is 300 acres of rolling hills pasture, with hilltop views of the Estero Americano valley. The Meadow Grove is home to many varieties of raptors and other birds-providing excellent bird watching. Seasonally there are blackberries to fill your containers, and some hiking. We are mere minutes from the quaint towns of Valley Ford, Tomales, and Dillon Beach, and a short drive from Bodega, Bodega Bay or Marshall, Pt. Reyes Station and Inverness. Nearby attractions include: Sonoma Coast beaches, Pt. Reyes National Seashore, coastal hiking trails, local farm-to-table eateries.
Inland attractions include: redwoods, wine tasting, Russian River activities and so much more.
The ranch borders Hwy 1, so there is some degree of road noise. Traffic usually dies down mid afternoon, and isn't too much of a disturbance. Virtually all traffic on our stretch of road is daytime traffic. There can be however, some heavy weekend traffic during the day with car clubs and motorcycle riders enjoying the coastal highway.

Second time staying here and just as restful as the first time. Not as cold this go around. I had hiked a very hard hike prior, and sleeping in the bet was so lovely. To just be suspended and feel grounded and weightless at the same time. It want too loud in the neighborhood, but it is in a neighborhood, so please not it isn’t secluded and not fully private, but it isn’t like you’re just out in the open fully. I got a clear night of stars and a bird song wake up in the morning. Absolutely will return many more times!

This place was honestly magical. Sleeping in a tree net surrounded by redwoods felt like such a deep, connected experience with nature. I had read reviews saying the sounds of coyotes or distant cars made people uncomfortable, but for me, it was the opposite. I loved it. It made everything feel more alive and immersive.
The host provides great, detailed information ahead of time, which I really appreciated. That said, I highly recommend arriving during the daytime. We arrived at night and, with no lights on, it was a bit tricky to find. Also, if you plug the coordinates into Google Maps, it will take you to a good parking area, but the actual treehouse is across the street.
Bathroom tip: privacy during the day is limited since nearby houses are visible. I recommend bringing a portable toilet and a privacy tent for comfort. There was communication ahead of time from the host about this.
What I brought: a Pilates/yoga mat for me, 2 foam pads for my daughter, 4 large blankets to layer across the net, and air pads (though I didn’t inflate them due to quiet hours). This was great for comfort under our bodies.
The weather was perfect, which made it even better.
Also, stop by Mario’s in Fairfax - great service and food. We grabbed breakfast and grabbed food to go before backpacking. Mario is absolutely fantastic!
Even with a slightly rough arrival, this place was absolutely worth it. I’d 100% come back. Again, it’s definitely a special place!

This is definitely an unique experience for those that love whimsical places. It's high enough to feel a bit thrilling and the string lights surrounded by giant red wood trees makes it feel a bit magical. You do have to be okay sleeping in the open. But it truly is an amazing experience. Beautiful morning light shining through the ring for trees is a sight to be seen.

We had a wonderful time! The space is huge and very private. The pond was pretty, the morning and evening fog were so serene. The outdoor shower made camping super ideal - especially for 4 days. Loved the little sink area and the fire pit. All of the picnic tables made setting up/having counter space no issue at all. Also, the porta potties were the cleanest porta potties I’ve ever seen. There were a lot of local hikes/walks that were beautiful - only a short drive away so we could explore during the day and come back to a beautiful site afterwards. We had an amazing trip and hope to come back again in the future!

Where to go
Dillon Beach
A small private beach community at the northern tip of the county, Dillon Beach sits at the mouth of Tomales Bay where it meets the open Pacific. Camping here is primarily at private campgrounds on the bluffs above the beach. It sees fewer day-trippers than Stinson and has a quieter feel that suits weekend trips year-round.
Stinson Beach
Stinson Beach is the widest and most swimmable stretch of ocean beach in Marin — not saying much given the cold water, but in summer the conditions can actually be decent for wading. The town has a couple of good restaurants and a campground in Mount Tamalpais State Park just above it. Weekends in summer get congested on the access road (Highway 1); midweek is notably calmer.
Bolinas
Bolinas is the town that famously keeps removing its highway signs, and the attitude carries through — it's small, slightly insular, and better for it. Camping near Bolinas puts you close to the Bolinas Lagoon and Audubon Canyon Ranch, a great spot for great blue heron nesting in spring. The surf break at the end of Wharf Road is one of the better waves on this part of the coast.
Inverness
Perched on the western shore of Tomales Bay, Inverness serves as the main gateway to the backcountry of Point Reyes. Tomales Bay itself is calm water, good for kayaking in any season.
Point Reyes Station
Point Reyes Station is the last stop for supplies before heading into the national seashore. It's a logical staging point for multi-day hikes in Point Reyes National Seashore. The town sits in a pastoral valley that can be 20°F warmer than the coast — the fog line often sits right at the ridgeline above.
Point Reyes National Seashore
Point Reyes National Seashore covers 71,000 acres of coastal wilderness — beaches, cliffs, forest, and grassland — all accessible from four hike-in campgrounds that require advance reservations. Sky Camp on Mount Wittenberg gives views to the coast when fog allows; Coast Camp sits above a long beach accessible by trail. The elk herds at Limantour and Drake's Beach are worth planning around.
Angel Island State Park
Angel Island sits in the middle of San Francisco Bay, accessible by ferry from Tiburon, and it's one of the more unusual camping experiences in the Bay Area — you're surrounded by water, with views of the city, the bridge, and Marin's hills. Sites are limited and book early. The former immigration station and military fortifications make for interesting hiking between setting up camp and watching the bay go dark.
Golden Gate National Recreation Area
The Golden Gate National Recreation Area covers significant Marin County land including the Marin Headlands, where tent cabins and backcountry campsites sit within sight of the bridge. Hawk Hill in October draws some of the best raptor migrations on the West Coast. The trail system connects to the Coastal Trail and down into the Headlands with minimal elevation drama.
Tomales Bay State Park
Tomales Bay State Park occupies the western shoreline of the bay, protecting a calm-water environment that's ideal for sea kayaking and oyster spotting. Heart's Desire Beach is the most popular day use area; the surrounding forest hikes are short but quiet.
When to go
Marin's best camping is in fall — September through November, when the summer marine layer pulls back, temperatures reach the mid-60s to low 70s on the coast, and the trails are uncrowded. Spring is the second choice, with green hills through April before the hills turn gold. Summer is a mixed bag: July and August are technically dry but heavily fogged, with coastal temperatures rarely cracking 65°F. Come prepared to layer in any season.
Spring (March–May)
Spring is the photogenic season — tule elk with new calves, wildflowers across the Reyes mesa, green hills that won't last past June. Daytime highs hover in the mid-50s to low 60s in March and April, warming into the upper 60s by May. Rain is possible through April; March can be stormy along the coast. Book reservations early regardless, as spring weekends at Point Reyes fill quickly.
Summer (June–August)
Summer in Marin means fog. The marine layer sits over the coast almost every morning in July, often burning off by early afternoon — or not at all. Temperatures rarely exceed the mid-60s at the coast, making for what visitors expecting California sunshine often describe as a shock. That said, it's dry, it's green (by California standards), and the backcountry of Reyes is genuinely beautiful in the soft light. Pack a real jacket.
Fall (September–November)
The fog retreats in September and Marin has its warmest, clearest days. Highs in the upper 60s with clear skies over 60–70% of the time make this the most reliably pleasant camping stretch. The elk rut at Point Reyes happens in September and October, when bulls bugle across Drake's Estero. October offers the best combination of warm temps, clear skies, and thinning crowds before the rains return.
Winter (December–February)
Campgrounds at Point Reyes and Mount Tam stay open year-round, and winter camping here can be excellent if you pick the right window. Lows drop into the low 40s at the coast but rarely below freezing. Rain arrives reliably from December through February, and storms can be intense. The upside: the backcountry is nearly empty, the hills are starting to green up, and gray whale migration peaks along the Reyes cliffs in January.
