2 nights at The Secret Gardens by the Bay

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.

Beautifully designed property. Lots of communal space. Well-stocked kitchen. Very friendly hosts. Beach access is a short drive away.

3 nights at Dogs Welcome! Nearby Getaway

My pups and I had a wonderful time! Nancy was so sweet and welcoming getting us settled in. The spot is comfortable and quiet with excellent amenities and plenty of space to spread out and relax. My pups ran around and had a great time chasing ground squirrels. They loved it so much I had to convince them to go to bed at night! Nancy also sent us lists she made of recommendations for parks and beaches they would enjoy! We will definitely come back!

Clean, well-maintained, and pretty flawless.

Weekend Trip to Paradise Valley Cattle Company

This campsite was fantastic. My 35 foot class A motorhome fit with room to spare and the space was easy to back into. Brian is a fantastic host and my family loved camping next to the cow.

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!

Chris was able to accommodate my very last minute booking to car camp this weekend on their property. I was only there to sleep, but the property was peaceful, instructions and communication were clear. Would stay again!

Great location, very clean, everything new. Beautiful birds sounds all day and close to the beach.

Yeyen's land was so refreshing from the campgrounds I am accustomed to. We were greeted upon arrival. It was first solo trip for my son and I. They helped level up the 25' rig. I was grateful for that. The place is beautiful. Nice accommodations, lot of nice walking trails, amazing community kitchen, showers were so nice and very clean. Lovely, peaceful views and places to sit along the property. The construction and gardens were a delight. Everyone we encountered whether they were working there or visiting were friendly and kind. We had our Josie dog with us. She enjoyed all the walk abouts.
