Cosmo, our generous, hilarious and undoubtedly eccentric host, curated a fun and inviting space oozing with whimsey and flair. So if you’re looking for serenity, peace, perhaps a new friend, and plenty of memories to make along the way, this is your spot. Cheers Cosmo, see you next time! -lili + danny

Weekend Trip to Heartwood Mendocino

Khamoor was so friendly and the cabin was incredible. Beautiful property, comfortable bed, we loved the kitchen facilities and the outdoor shower!

Weekend Trip to The Hideaway at Hole In The Wall

Do not take Bell Springs Road! The hipcamp is across the street from Tan Oak park off a short gravel road drive. Once you arrive, you may meet the owner & his dogs along the drive. Follow the blue arrows to multiple camp sites with a picnic table, smokeless firepit & gravel parking at each site. We use levelers, but it was already pretty flat. There is a waterfall next to the sites & you are generally located at the back of the traditional Hole in the Wall swim site. About a 5 minute drive to the walking trail to the swim site. Overall, it's a new site with room to grow but it's quiet, well maintained & dog friendly 🐾

Weekend Trip to Heartwood Mendocino

Beautiful campsite, modern and clean sanitary facilities and even had a coffee maker in a common space!

1 night at Pickle Barrel Cabin and Camp

First hip camp, great experience, beautiful location and straight forward instructions.. thank you

Weekend Trip to Ariana Acres

Highly recommend staying here! The tent is really nice and clean- with an ultra cozy bed. Great view of the stars…close enough to town when you need to grab things, and far enough to have some peaceful times in the trees! Christine is a beautiful spirit!

Weekend Trip to Lucky Penny Laytonville

Was super comfortable, with more than enough amenities for everyone! A safe and secure pick if you want something that you can be confident in to have a good trip

Weekend Trip to South Facing Ridge With Views

Had an unforgettable weekend on Cosmo's amazing property. Site 3 looked great and definitely had a view, but the larger group site was free so he offered us an upgrade - 4 fenced in acres of forest and field all to ourselves. Cosmo was incredibly friendly and generous, we had all the firewood we could want, and even a flush toilet (!!) in this super secluded site. Our dog literally would not get in the car to leave. We will definitely be back (and booking site 4 intentionally)!

Weekend Trip to Jug Handle Creek Farm

Loved my stay at Jughandle! The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The dishwashing station was a huge plus! Close hike to the beautiful beach. Great quiet spot with privacy:)

Weekend Trip to Jug Handle Creek Farm

Great, quiet. Close to several amazing places. Loved being right by the beach. I think the restrooms need new locks though.

Weekend Trip to Jug Handle Creek Farm

The location is wonderful. The large campsite 11 was so awesome. Felt more private than all the others and the bathrooms were still very close and nicely renovated. Our group really enjoyed the space and would camp there again. Some even woke up to walk to the coast and be on the beach. The only hard part was not having large trash bins around. For a group of 20, that made things really difficult. We had to drive around town to find trash bins (Taco Bell bins is what we finally found a few miles out) so as not to have to lug huge trash bags full of trash around inside our vans next to all our gear/bags.

Weekend Trip to Pickle Barrel Cabin and Camp

My wife and I along with our dog enjoyed our stay. We are definitely going to book this site again.

Weekend Trip to Jug Handle Creek Farm

Great spot! Easy, clean, convenient! Sheltered from the wind which was a big benefit on our visit!

Weekend Trip to Jug Handle Creek Farm

We had an amazing stay at Jug Handle Creek Farm! Would definitely return. We stayed at Spot 7. Tons of room for multiple tents. We were able to walk to the Ecological Staircase, and the beach. George was amazing! When he heard they had sold out of firewood, he brought us an extra bundle, and checked in on us the following night and brought us kindling. A+ service! The only issue - despite having bathrooms with flushable toilets (so nice!), they still have port-a-potties. There were two directly across from our campsite, so we kept getting whiffs of port-a-potty smell. I understand they're probably working on getting those removed since the bathrooms were recently renovated. We'll definitely be returning!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Lake Sonoma

The hosts were welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed the area and took advantage of hiking, lake activities, and campfires. Look forward to returning!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Lake Sonoma

Lovely camp site- we went horseback riding and hung out by the lake. The hosts were very friendly and responsive and the porta potties were clean. No drinking water available at the site though.

Ettawa Springs Resort

5 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · Middletown, CA

Ettawa Springs Resort dates back to the 1920s and 30s like the fashionable resorts in the Cobb area where the rich and famous came to play. But Ettawa was oriented towards families and a more relaxed and rustic atmosphere. We are working hard to restore her to her former glory. We are excited to announce that we have a few campsites ready for use and will be adding more soon. We offer hot showers and flush toilets and some sites with running water. You can hike through our property to the Cobb Mountain Demonstration Forest or just enjoy the clean air and listen to the wind and the birds. On clear nights the stars put on an amazing show. Clear Lake is about 45 minutes away with all the fishing and water sports you could ask for. Harbin Hot Springs are 15 minutes away and they offer day passes for reasonable rates. We are located about 20 minutes outside of Middletown. Be aware that half of the road is dirt (and that's better than the asphalt half) all of it is fine for small cars, just take your time. The last 1/2 mile or so is a one lane road, so please be careful of opposing traffic and uneven surfaces. We cannot accommodate vehicles longer than 28’ on these roads. We offer California camping at its finest. Fresh air, whispering trees, amazing star fields . . . this can mean the less attractive side of nature as well. We have ticks, rattlesnakes, stinging things, poison oak, uneven trails and surfaces, and a bear on one ridge with mountain cats on the other (no sign of either in the campground). We keep the restroom stocked with tick spray and Tecnu for the poison oak, but please watch yourselves and especially children. Dogs are welcome, but should be kept on lead for their own protection and the comfort of others. We are fairly hands off in our hosting approach. Unless there's a question or problem, you likely won't see us. But we have people close by and are only a message away.

Guests love staying here: "Elderberry camp was really great! It was a large site, plenty of space, shade, and parking. Very peaceful and good distance between other sites although we were pretty much the only campers out there. Outhouse was clean and there was drinking water. We spent most of our Saturday in Eel River which was great. The water was perfect for swimming and fishing, our husbands caught some big ones. Stephen was very nice and accommodating, the honey and eggs we asked for were a nice addition too!" Helpful0 Report

Or come to the communal fire near the bathhouse for sharing some time with family and the few other campers that may be there. Bringing your own wood is welcome. The coastal bike and hike trails are many. From South of Ft Bragg to the Sand Dunes near Ward Ave. you can travel over 7 miles one way and go down to quiet little beach coves along the way. Meadow Farm is a nonprofit 501c3 with goals of coastal food security, disaster preparation and sheltering, carbon sequestering and forest restoration.

Our farm is dog friendly tho we wish pets to be kept close, must be neutered and friendly to other dogs and people. Please be sure to bury or bag the waste. Speaking of waste, Meadow Farm strives to reduce waste by avoiding plastic as much as possible, recycling what we can and composting our veggie scraps. Please bring your own waste receptacles and take them along when you go. We take ours to the Caspar Transfer Station which is open Saturday through Wednesday... the location and hours can be found online. Our water is from a deep well and we periodically test it for bacteria. It is cold and delicious. Our irrigation pipes that have spigots and hoses at each camp are safe for drinking, cooking and cleaning. Our solar pump moves water into storage tanks that provide all the water to the farm. It is very important that the water valves on your camp spigot is turned off (gently please) to avoid losing 2500 gallons of water in a short time. If you see a leak or break in a line please contact us immediately. There are also water shut offs for the camps on the west side of the Farm House if you are unable to reach us right away.. When doing dishes we request that you use the strainer to catch food particles from the dish water and toss them in your trash or compost bucket. If you have vegetable waste let us know and we can pick them up for adding to the worm bins or composting piles. We make worm "tea" fertilizer and rich soil from these offerings. No animal products or oil please... a few egg shells are okay. We do have the usual wildlife though we haven't had problems with them. Ravens will raid your camp if food or bags are left out while you are away. From dusk to dawn keep children and pets close. We coexist well here with the critters...and glad to have them. Wishing you a very peaceful and soul refreshing stay at Meadow Farm. Come and allow this natural setting to heal and restore your sense of well-being.
