Tent

2 nights at The Hideaway at Hole In The Wall

Absolutely loved staying here!! The owners were super caring and made sure we had everything we needed. The site was also gorgeous with lots to explore. I would definitely recommend as I will definitely be going back!

1 night at Heartwood Mendocino

Amazing area the shower is a must see unique feature but the place is so much more. I only had a short time to enjoy it but will definitely be coming back for a longer stay. Host was responsive to all questions! Make sure you ask any questions prior to getting there due to cell reception.

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 Jug Handle Creek Farm

Felt very in the woods! Not great service but I felt very safe. Beautiful area

1 night at Baby Banana Slug Farm

Cabin was very quaint and the location amongst many very tall trees was great. I also saw several banana slugs, which aren’t something you can see anywhere else!

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!

4 nights at Mendocino Magic

We loved our stay and only wish we had spent more time in camp! This is an amazing property that offers so many different adventures. We can’t wait to come back and bring family and friends along too.

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 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 Mendocino Magic

The best ever! We’ve been back to this campsite a handful of times and always love our experience. The site is clean, well shaded, and perfect for lake activities. We’ll always come back here and couldn’t recommended Cannon Ball and Mendocino Magic enough!

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.

Private sunny forest near the coast

1 site · RV, Tent6 acres · Albion, CA

Learn more about this land: The site is in a forested area with short pine and manzanita trees, so its nice and sunny, just out of the daily fog zone that blankets the coast, but only 3 miles from the coast. The neighborhood is super quiet and you can walk right from here to the Pygmy State Park trail system or just on the gravel neighborhood road. There is a main tent site and another tent site and places for 2 cars or more or a small travel trailer or van (20' length ok). There's a place for at least 2-3 tents and there is a table with 3 chairs provided. Also a metal box to keep your food away from bears that might come by (haven't had that happen yet). No campfires please but propane/gas cook stoves are fine. 50 gallons of potable water is provided from a tank. Please conserve water. Keep all food in your vehicle as there are bears and forest critters around. Outhouse with new, clean composting toilet, environmentally friendly! There has been an ornery squirrel that keeps ripping up the toilet paper so please bring your own. Use this lat/long as Google Maps doesn't like my address- 39.2581451131371, -123.723920996094. Brief directions- coming from the coast on Little River Airport Rd, turn right on "Posted Rd. 18/Sundew Lane" sign, stay right at the fork, first driveway on the right (funky oval painted sign as pictured).

There is a seasonal pond on the property as well, but it is treated with an organic animal safe biological to keep larvae from growing, so the pond isn't the issue. Please message us if you have any questions! -Cell service is very spotty onsite. -There is one communal fire pit.

Meadow Farm is a quiet and creative sanctuary surrounded by the forest. The ocean breezes freshen the air and the pulse of the planet is heard as the surf sounds travel to put us to rest at night.. We are a place for people experimenting with the new old ways to live with low impact and conservation of our precious resources. We offer affordable accommodations, organic gardening, and education on plants and living simply. We welcome your interest in veganic garden and diet, orchards, and forest trails. Our organic vegetables and fruit may be available if you wish to bring some of our farm to your table. We can offer you a quiet and peaceful place without social pressures if you wish to "decompress" from city life, jobs or any stressful times. 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. We offer native plant tours on or off site with advance notice. We like our dog companions! Two McNab collies, Moxie and Shama live here and may bark at first...still very friendly and social with people and other dogs.. There are several dog friendly off-leash areas such as, Noyo North Harbor Beach, Seaside Beach and dog parks in both Ft Bragg and Mendocino. 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.
