Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Sleep Up High In A Redwood Tree-net

If you love redwoods you really can’t get a better experience than this up amongst such tall trees. Laying on the net 20+ feet in the air with fairy lights all around was a magical experience. The build felt very safe and well designed with ample guard rails around. In spite of being in a neighborhood it felt very secluded. Would highly recommend surprising your SO on a date night here!

1 night at Whiskey Hill Barn and Camp

It was a nice quiet place to spend the night. Good outdoor shower. We plan to return

2 nights at Charcoal Springs Camp & Cabin

Amazing view and very peaceful. Johnny was a great host and made sure we were well taken care of.

Weekend Trip to Sleep Up High In A Redwood Tree-net

What an amazing night sleeping suspended in the redwoods on an expertly crafted tree net that not only feels secure and safe but is comfy as well. There were four of us and we had plenty of space. It was our first time camping like this so I wasn't sure what to expect but I thought it was so cool it was worth checking out. Although the space isn't completely isolated, as in you can see houses through the trees, the ring of redwoods the net is built in surrounds you creating a magical space. My 13- year-old son and his 14-year-old friend loved it. The other dad zonked out within minutes. We all agreed we would do it again. And for the lovers out there, this place is dreamy. Louis the host was prompt and clear with answering questions and directions. Two big thumbs up.

Weekend Trip to Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

This is a beautiful private spot, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

3 nights at Sleep Up High In A Redwood Tree-net

I personally loved the entire experience ! However, I do recommend coming prepared !! the site has no amenities, but I have a camping toilet with a toilet tent, which made things so much easier. Louis provided me with a little table but if you’re planning to come with a ton of food, cooking gear, supplies, cosmetics, etc, I recommend maybe even bringing a folding table as the site does not have anywhere to set your things on or for u to sit. I also recommend bringing some kind of sleeping pad to bring up into the tree with you. I’m really glad I brought two of mine bc the ropes that make the net are quite stiff and I can’t imagine sleeping directly on them for multiple nights. With my sleeping pads, sleeping bags, and wool blankets, I seriously had some of the best sleep of my life! I loveddddd sleeping in that tree so much. Heads up: you are at the end of the Host’s driveway in a mildly populated small town. So, you will hear cars, passerbyers, people cycling nearby, etc. I always pack earplugs when I’m camping, and I’m really glad I did because I ended up needing to use them to get to sleep. Other than that— the host’s cats are CRAZY CUTE. They wear these little bells around their neck, so I would hear them coming to greet me in the morning. Such a sweet way to wake up! I recommend staying here for sure, but come with everything you’d possibly need to make the set up as comfy as possible! Don’t just show up with a couple blankets and food lol. Thanks Louis !!

5 nights at Charcoal Springs Camp & Cabin

Absolutely incredible spot! I have a 22ft Mercedes cargo van so the drive up the mountain and down the incline to the spot had me a little worried, but it ended up being totally fine and it was so worth it for the VIEW! One of the most incredible views I’ve ever seen no matter the weather or time of day! The campsite was lovely, hot showers, full kitchen and the campfire was such a vibe. Johnny was so nice and helpful, always making sure I was stocked on wood and anything I needed, such a nice guy. Absolutely recommend this spot, and hope I get to stay here again!!

1 night at Charcoal Springs Camp & Cabin

Such a great tent camp! The cabin space looked beautiful too. I was on a west coast road trip with my partner and couldn’t find many other public sites in the area that caught my eye. The land sits so high it’s above the clouds. Gorgeous serene views. Small trails on site. And plenty of resources if you’re looking to pack light. Johnny is there to welcome you and send you off, and while we didn’t need anything during our stay, we felt very supported by his availability. We would love to stay here again on a roadtrip where we’re looking for more easeful lodging.

2 nights at Blackberry Farm

Beautiful setting, welcoming host! We had good time at this campsite.

2 nights at Hidden Spring Ranch

This was our second time staying at Hidden Ranch and it was simply fabulous. A great community of folks with a super relaxed, calm and rustic atmosphere. Fresh eggs, a sauna, room to hacky sack, what could be better!

Weekend Trip to Felton Open Space Camp Sites

Great location near Santa Cruz and open space. Engaging and kind hosts. The winery is bonus!

2 nights at May's Luxury Farmstays

Can’t believe this escape was only 35mins away from Palo Alto. The view from the Yurt was amazing as in the eggs and wine and all the other amenities that are provided. You really don’t have to worry. Plus Jon and Mary was super helpful and quick to respond to anything.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Spring Ranch

We absolutely loved the property! Showering in nature. The outdoor kitchen had everything we needed. The fresh eggs were delicious. It was very close to town and all the sightseeing!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

Excellent space easy to reach, with a beautiful view and nice animals, barbeque area, and games to play in company. There is only one bathroom (with shower) where the roof is open, keep it in mind in case of cold days. Great experience!

Weekend Trip to Shiima koh

Ani and her family have set up a welcoming, naturally integrated campground alongside their home with all the amenities you need for a short or long stay. Camping with the animals was a treat- goats, chickens, dogs, turkeys- just to name a few! The outdoor kitchen is stationed at the top of a hill with a beautiful view, we really enjoyed this feature. If we had stayed longer, would have loved to use the communal firepit space to stretch and enoy a fire. Thanks for sharing the space!

Weekend Trip to Blackberry Farm

This place is awesome! Very quick and good communication from the host. We would love to come back

Weekend Trip to Shiima koh

Nice area and it was close to our weekend activities. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. The kitchen area was nicely arranged and bathroom/shower was functional. Campsite area worked well. Animals are friendly too.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Fields Forever

Robin’s description of the location, amenities and proximity to the beach were very accurate - including daytime and evening road noise which decreases at night. It was chilly and windy the evening we were there, so we chose not to use the campfire. It was a great stopover for our purposes. Loved the farm fresh eggs and homemade cookies she offered as an add on! Robin and Ray were very friendly and hospitable, easy to communicate with through the app.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Spring Ranch

This site was comfortable and super-convenient to Santa Cruz. The owners were very friendly and I enjoyed socializing around the fire with the other residents.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Fields Forever

We loved our campsite! Wonderful location so close to the beach! Robin and Ray were excellent hosts and we’d come back again!

Skyview

14 sites · Tents23 acres · Boulder Creek, CA

** NOTE from owner ** This is a rustic, mountain campground and totally off-grid. Road access here is difficult. It is extremely beautiful, remote, and serene so come for that. This is NOT a party destination and NOT a glamping resort so please don't bring those expectations. We'd be honored and delighted to have you here if you appreciate being close to the elements and you love the outdoors. We've been open for a year and a half and learned a lot from previous guests. Most of our reviews having been super positive but a few have been brutal. We've had growing pains for sure but are applying all the tough lessons to make the experience of being here the best we can. Here's a list of recent improvements: -- Doubled the size of each campsite (more space!) -- Cut the total number of campsites in half (less people!) -- Lowered prices (great value!) -- Improved our outhouses (cleaner, less stinky!) Thank you for reading this part and now a brief property description =) With 23 gorgeous acres, Skyview is the perfect place to enjoy nature and the elements. You can hike our ridge trail for spectacular views of the Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz mountains. You can relax in one of our Skypods and take a nap or read a book beneath a 200 year old oak tree. Go swimming in our huge pond and do yoga/meditate/journal on the adjoining beach. There's a grandmother (old-growth) redwood tree to visit plus a wonderful diversity of wildflowers and native plants to study and appreciate. Birds soar in the skies above (hawks, ravens, vultures) while the calls of morning doves and owls gently fill the air at dawn and dusk. And our sunsets...wow!!

Slide Ranch does not have any concessions on site. Please plan to bring any snacks or picnic items you’d like to enjoy while enjoying the ranch. Slide Ranch is located on the Marin coast, on land that has a rich history in connecting people to food. The Miwok once fished and foraged for food at this site, and in the late 19th century Portuguese dairy farmers purchased the land and produced milk and butter for residents of San Francisco. In 1969, 134 acres of this fertile coastline were rescued from commercial development and purchased by the Nature Conservancy. Slide Ranch offers camping to fund summer camp scholarships and other programs throughout the year. Per GGNRA regulations, campfires and open flames of any kind are not allowed out at the campsite meadow or inside the Geodesic Dome as there is no running water. Portable camp stoves and BBQs are strictly prohibited.

Blackberry Farm sits on the western side of Mount Tamalpais, tucked in the Gospel Flat area of Bolinas. The family farm and residence were established during the late 1970s on the site of the historic Peter’s Dairy Ranch. The original farmhouse dates back to the late 19th century and survived the great 1906 earthquake. Today, the 7-acre farm is being restored to sustainably support fruit orchards, cottage flower and kitchen gardens, honey bees, a boisterous flock of chickens, and naughty shetland sheep. Our self-serve farmstand attached to our barn has seasonal flowers, organic eggs, heirloom fruit, and local goods from the farm. Our property is the perfect rustic getaway for backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts. You’ll be surrounded by farm/ranch life: chickens clucking, roosters crowing, bees buzzing, and sheep bleating. We also have active nighttime wildlife: coyotes howling, raccoons foraging, owls hooting, etc. Bring earplugs if nature sounds are too much for you. We offer 4 walk-in tent sites that allow you to immerse yourself in nature. We welcome well-behaved pets ON LEASH that won’t harass the chickens, cats, sheep, other campers, or residents.

We process everything ourselves using ancestral techniques and love to share and learn with others.

At the NE corner of the property is a very large oak tree, it is majestic and with the tipi door open to the East the big oak is the first thing you'll see every morning besides the suns rays!

The Olive Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Novato, CA

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. We listed the site for up to 12 campers but feel free to reach out if your group is bigger. Please check out the newest addition of our cabin bunkhouse. Take a look at the pictures - you can add it to your stay as an extra when you book! 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.
