  Welcome nature lovers, adventurers, foragers, outdoor-enthusiasts, rock hounds, bird watchers, and tree huggers. If you love to fish, hike, forage, raft, swim, kayak, camp, go tubing, or explore, Radio Ranch is a must-experience respite in the woods. We are conveniently located between Portland, OR and San Francisco, CA, between Eureka, CA and Redding, CA. We are 15 minutes from Willow Creek, 1 hour from HWY 101 and 2.5 hours from I-5. Our one of a kind, 100% off-grid luxury campsites offer complete privacy and views you can't get anywhere else!   Each site is located near one of our creeks so you can enjoy the sounds of flowing water. Visit our *two* large waterfalls on a hike through 30 beautiful acres. Our light show at dusk lasts approximately 3 hours each evening because we believe that nighttime should be just as beautiful as the day. Breathtaking views of Ironside Mountain make a gorgeous backdrop for weddings, events, and photoshoots. Ask about whole property rental! Each site rental comes with shared access to modern off-grid showers, restrooms (including our very popular clawfoot tub), and an outdoor kitchen with BBQs and a wood-fired pizza oven plus public space that is Instagram worthy. Free WIFI is also included, so it is perfect for remote workers.  Check-in is contactless and simple. We only allow 2-10 guests on the property at once, so it's peaceful and quiet and feels like it's all yours! Don't wait to book because space is very limited. Treat yourself to a stay with us. Radio Ranch is the perfect place to get away from it all, while still having it all. Relax and rejuvenate at Radio Ranch. *Recommended for ages 21+. Children under 21 must be accompanied by a guardian. Pets are welcome for a small pet fee! This is an off-grid experience, meaning there are no electrical outlets. We recommend bringing a backup battery to charge devices. This experience may not be suitable for those who need electricity for medical equipment.

My aunt and uncle bought the property in 1947 from its first European settler, Paolo Gabrielli, who immigrated in early 1914 from northern Italy with slips of his grapevine in the lining of his coat. (The grapevine still grows over the back deck.) What can you expect? Quiet, beauty, birdsong, ocean roar, widely spaced campsites (only 5 on the 5 acres set aside for camping). Free firewood, local tips on travel and where to hike or what to visit. Or total solitude. Bring your (most non-cattle-chasing breeds) dogs if you wish (males must be neutered). Starlink internet. Walk to the beach of our wild ocean along a no-shoulder country road. We have no visible neighbors, no ambient light or sound. The air is clean and clear and the water is potable from an artesian spring on the property. No electricity at the sites and no generators allowed. (Charge your electronics at the farmhouse.) We offer homemade soup, cobbler, fresh bread, morning coffee as extras; you can order with the booking. The Victorian village of Ferndale is three miles east, as is a beautifully maintained 110-acre town wilderness with hiking trails called Russ Park. A 150-year-old cemetery slopes down a hillside & is filled with 19th century charm and history. Shops and restaurants welcome visitors. There are several bars/a wine bar/and a historic saloon that's as old boy as it was in 1890. A music venue in a restored 19th century church has amazing acoustics and attracts international talent as a top-notch venue (sessions are filmed for PBS) midway between Portland and San Francisco. So, it's a mix of town and country, village and farm, wilderness and bewilderedness. Safe, safe, safe, meaning: you can leave your belongings in your site and when you come back... they're still there :) We welcome the world. One caveat: please arrive before dark. There is no electricity in the campgrounds, and no generators are allowed. You will not be able to reach (or maybe even locate) your site without disturbing others.

We had a fabulous experience at Wendy and John's. The campsite was perfect under a full moon. We really appreciated the sparkling clean bathroom and shower. The dinner was amazing- a 5 course meal that rivaled any fine dining restaurant we ever experienced! Wendy and John are fantastic hosts in every respect. We enjoyed celebrating the election results together 11/4/25. We look forward to returning again and again.

Weekend Trip to Woods, Waves & Wags/Hipcamp

Allyson was super nice and responsive! It was pretty much a full site the night I stayed. She made a fire for us to enjoy and her little dog was adorable. A little pricey for what you get and the street noise and gas station lights next door were a little annoying but overall a good stay!! About 30 min from the Hiouchi visitor center if you're coming for the Redwoods and 5 min drive to the beach

The property was easy to find and close to town. John met us as soon as we pulled in and walked us to our parking spot. We reserved dinner in advance and it was delicious! Overall, beautiful spot, welcoming hosts, available but left us to our privacy. The other camping spots were spread out so it felt like our own place for the night.

100% would recommend staying here. A lovely escape that Mallory and Jeff clearly have put a lot of work into curating for guests. It feels very remote but with the comforts of a well-stocked camp kitchen, fast WiFi, and honestly one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. The Rockslide Bar down the road is the perfect place to grab a drink or a bite to eat while hanging with the locals.

Reasonably priced for the area. Allyson is very nice. It is perfect as a place for dogs because the entire area is fenced and then the site specific for camping is also fenced. The only downside is the traffic noice.

Weekend Trip to River Song Camp

Siena’s “camp” was a quiet and simple place to land. The bed in the camper was comfy. Her orchard was full of apples 🍏 and we woke to dove song. Sienna greeted us upon arrival and was communicative via messaging before we got there.

I had so much fun at Radio Ranch!! I'd never camped in my life and they made my first time so easy. The instructions were really clear and it wasn't difficult at all to get to the site. There were so many amenities and the room was nice and clean. Would definitely come back to get the massage and use the tub :) Def recommend !

This was a great site set amongst other, well-dispersed, sites. Delicious potable water available, hot showers and flush toilets - what more could you want? All sites are adjacent to a large open field, giving plenty of space to run around. John and Wendy are super friendly and accommodating while also giving plenty of privacy. This site is right next to the house, but we never saw or heard anything from there - only saw John while he was out taking care of the camp sites. Will be staying again, and highly recommend!

This is a place to stay, but not a resort by any means. The sites are off the beaten path just slightly which means it is a quiet, country atmosphere near a river and next to horses. It could be described as rustic. The outhouse is clean and earth friendly. Water is available at a spigot nearby and the host had filtered water waiting in the unit. The bed was quite comfortable. We were traveling fully self sufficient so this was a great place to land for a couple nights. The host checked in several times by text to make sure we were doing OK, which was quite nice.
