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.

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 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 Charcoal Springs Camp & Cabin

Amazing view and amazing hospitality from Johnney!

1 night at Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

We loved our night at Audrey Edna, we took our 3 month old on her first mini backpacking trip and we had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend this as a good beginner backpacking experience, the cabin had everything we could need and more. We saw lots of wildlife, including a bobcat!

2 nights at Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

Amazing - love this spot!! It was very well equipped and clean + the location and views are excellent! The hike to the cabin (with a wagon) was a little harder than we expected (mostly uphill with a few steep sections), but the way back to the parking lot was a breeze.

1 night at The Secret Gardens by the Bay

The camp is truly a hidden gem. We were so lucky to stumble upon it and hope to return.

Weekend Trip to Charcoal Springs Camp & Cabin

This is a great place to be surrounded by nature with amazing views. We had a great stay and Johnny was a very communicative host. Would visit again!

Weekend Trip to The Secret Gardens by the Bay

We had a wonderful time as a group of 8. This is a truly impressive property with lots of love and care all around. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed — just be sure to bring kitchen towels for drying dishes. Also recommend bringing eye masks as all the cabins have many windows/skylights w/o blackout curtains. Can’t wait to come back. An absolute gem.

3 nights at May's Luxury Farmstays

I loved my stay in May’s log cabin. I got a tour of the land when I arrived which was very interesting and Jon gave me direction to a couple of places for hiking right from the property. This Hipcamp is incredibly clean AND there is awesome coffee, tons of snacks/beer/alcohol/soda - and fresh eggs waiting for you in the fridge! I enjoyed my stay so much I just rebooked my ticket back home and booked 4 more nights!

4 nights at The Secret Gardens by the Bay

Secret Gardens is a special and magical gem, we all loved our recent stay! Yenyen and Farbod treated us wonderfully, we felt so very welcome and celebrated. Everyone in my camping group is already making plans to return to Secret Gardens together. Showers and kitchen are set up fabulously. I, and all those in my group highly recommend. Thank you Yenyen and Farbod! We love David the Sheep!

15/10 would recommend. What an incredible little slice of heaven. The hosts have gone way above and beyond to insure guests have everything they could possibly need. I cannot wait to visit again. My only regret is not staying longer. Pro tip: make sure you have a hat to sleep in if you're staying in a yurt.

2 nights at Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

The cabin is in such a beautiful spot! It was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed watching wildlife in the morning and relaxing on the front deck at night. The kitchen has everything you need. The heater worked great and we were very cozy. Can’t wait to go back!

2 nights at Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

This gorgeous cabin is the perfect solution to the workaday existence so many of us have. The hike in is manageable, and once you arrive you are met with a beautifully designed cabin with complete kitchen, two bathrooms and ample sleeping areas. It was designed without showers to encourage short-term visits. sweeping views and abundant wildlife including a residential flock of wild turkeys.

3 nights at May's Luxury Farmstays

I loved staying at Harlan's Hideaway. It was a cozy little cabin with all the amenities. It had a beautiful view of the forest, beautiful landscape. There were other campsites and cabins around, but they weren't loud at all. Great experience.
