Originally purchased in the late 60's by "Redwood and Savatri", Oz Farm was initially a commune of sorts and is no doubt a very special place...heck, its even got it's own comic book! Here you can pick your poison, as the property is comprised of 7 rustic cabins, redwood campsites, and geodesic domes that would make Buckminster Fuller proud. The working farm is comprised of over 230 accessible acres of flowing meadows, redwood groves, prime agriculture, and is intersected by the beautiful Garcia River, which flows into the mighty pacific. One thing that is very apparent, is how clearly passionate the community at Oz Farm is about ecology and agriculture. Once you step foot onto Oz Farm, you'll begin to understand why.
The property is open seasonally and frequently rented by full-camp retreats and events throughout the summer. Individual cabins open to rent one month in advance and are advertised through instagram @villageozfarm

WE WILL HAPPILY RETURN! LOVED the privacy and beauty of this special site. We brought our own teardrop camping trailer and enjoyed this amazing site complete with the worlds cleanest compost toilet. Seeing, hearing, and smelling the change of the incredible outdoor space of the campsite. Looking forward to next time already.

Everything is set for you to enjoy your stay. Really loved the details ! Thoughtful setting of spigot for doing your dishes & drying on an extra table, charming perfect size camping table with extra benches, cozy romantic chairs & fire pit. Restroom right there, very clean. Quiet & private, despite the host lives nearby, we really appreciate the tall trees, the proximity of the ocean, about 11 miles. We even saw the whales going South at Point Arena. Definitely recommend this place.

10 ft pop-up camper
It’s eclectic! Built in the 50s, this place has that retro charm that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard. My 20-year-old son, my soul-dog, and I spent Labor Day weekend here, and that little dipping pool was a total lifesaver in the brutal heat.
We brought our trusty popup camper from the 90s (no AC—she’s a vintage gal), so we went full MacGyver with a shade cover, a napping pad, and two “box” fans. Worked like a charm for a solid nap. When we weren’t pretending to be human popsicles, we played ping pong, cornhole, and enjoyed the slower pace. Walmart, gas, and food right across the street made it super convenient.
The highway is close, but it didn’t bother us at all—kind of like grown-up white noise. I’m also terrified of the dark, but here it felt just right: dark enough for an insane star show, but not so dark I thought Bigfoot was lurking.
Fishing was the main reason I booked this place, and it delivered. Each site shares a ramp with one other, small but perfect for casting a line or tying up a paddle board. It’s made for relaxing. I did spot a few teenagers looking bored, but I think they were just in the “too cool for fun” stage.
Lisa was wonderful—helpful, welcoming, and full of history about the place. We had no issues at all, and I’ll definitely be back!

We had a great time at 3 G Familia Farms. Chris came out to greet us and showed us our spot. There were several other families there as well but was not crowded as everyone was spread out. We stayed at site 17 which was perfect for our truck and rooftop tent. Point arena lighthouse was just a couple minutes drive away and had fantastic ocean views. There are several coastal access and beaches nearby. There is also a hardware/grocery store a few blocks from the camp and had everything we needed. The camp site is a few hundred yards away from the Shoreline Hwy and there is road noise but we didn't mind it at all. The weather was perfect and the night sky was clear the whole time we camped there. Great for star gazing. We paid $20 for the firewood and there was more than enough for our 2 night stay. Safe area for kids as well. We will be returning in the near future.

Private, peaceful and accessible! Great site with great amenities (toilet, running water, fire pit and wonderful view). My 3 friends and I (along with 3 doggos) had a fabulous time at this site enjoying the weather, scenery, and each other’s company. Bring some firewood, enjoy the cool weather and mystical morning fog, and kick back for a good time.

We LOVED our time at the Pickle Barrel campsite! Beautiful spot up on a ridge and the composting toilet was very clean. The host was friendly and checked in with us. We spent a whole day just relaxing at the campsite, which was perfect after weeks on the road/trail. We would absolutely stay here again!

We loved our 3 night stay at Clear Lake Campground! Lisa was the best and our space by the creek was so picturesque. Peaceful with great birdwatching, a fun little pool, catfish & bass fishing and a games area where we played ping-pong & volleyball. The restrooms were clean and the RV hookups easy. We’ll be back : )

The site is in a beautiful part of the Northern CA coast. The family is incredibly attentive and helpful. The only thing I’d say is that they seem to be doing a lot of tree work, and the piles of dead plant debris took away from the beauty of the site.

Very pleasant spot. In the redwoods up above the coastal fog. You get the spot to yourself. The owner's house is about 50 yards away but with the cabin and trees it still felt private. Toilet works and doesn't smell. Nice little nature trail around the property. Hose for extinguishing your fire is a nice touch.

We have enjoyed our stay at this campground along Cache Creek. The sites are well shaded, level and spacious. Full hookups, clean restrooms, refreshing pool (around 3-4 ft deep), playground, pier, and nice common areas make it a great place to relax and enjoy. It is in a convenient location but remains more private. Sites have a picnic table and fire ring. Wood is available for purchase. Definitely recommend.
