You can’t put into words or pictures how wonderful this place is. It’s so amazing!!! If you book anywhere else, it’s a mistake. The property was so enchanting!! We had a surprise group camp trip here for my husbands 30th birthday & everyone (all very experienced campers) left saying it was the best campsite of their life. & we are already planning our return trip! So much effort and love and detail put into every inch of this absolutely stunning property. The owners came down and were so kind and easy going. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Epic in every way!
The Secret Enchanted Garden is hands-down the best campground retreat I’ve ever visited. Every detail from the lush, magical setting to the peaceful atmosphere feels like stepping into another world. You can tell the hosts have poured their heart into making this place special. It’s beautiful, serene, and truly one of a kind.
Deserves every single star of a five-star review.
I can’t wait to come back!

The views/property was beautiful and the efficient campsite was set up with power, a table with two chairs, fire pit and wood chip base. The host was kind enough to bring us a battery powered light as well. Neighbors on both sides were quiet and respectful.
Bathrooms and showers were plenty and a short walk away.
No words for how much care and love have been poured into this property. It’s 11 acres of pure magic in every nook and cranny.
There was an event being held there during our stay which we were kindly invited to and did not cause much disturbance.
I wish we could have explored more, but the evening daylight is pretty limited now given the time of year.
Would definitely return!

The hosts were awesome. Yeyen met us the day we checked in around 5p. We were a bit late coming in since we traveled from San Diego, but Yeyen was super friendly and accommodating. Her husband was super cool and told us about the property and made us comfortable and welcomed. The camp site we reserved was next to the communal kitchen and bathroom which made our stay even better. The other camp sites we saw felt very whimsical and fun, sobwe'll definitely reserve one of those spots bext time. In addition to a fridge, sink, large table, and bbq grill, they even had a flat top grill! I didn't have to use my pan and kitchen utensils. The camp site, bathrooms, and kitchen was clean and since it was a private property, we felt safe.
Loved this place and will definitely visit again. Both Hosts even met us in the morning of check out to see us off and wish us safe travels. Love them!

I’m speechless for how amazing and tranquil this site is. The waterfall was not only nourishing to the soul but it also brought zen and peace. This site fully encompasses everything needed for a getaway. Kitchenette, shower, toilet, tables/chairs and a great fire pit. 🌟✨💕
I’ve never experienced a better campground and the hosts are simply amazing!! Wonderful people and so accommodating and kind.
I’m so grateful to have found this escape and I can’t wait to be back!
Thank you Farbod and Yeyen. 🦋

It was such a magical experience staying at the secret gardens. When walking around the property, you just keep finding more and more magical spots that are so wonderful. There was a lot of attention to detail, creating a comfortable and welcoming space for solitude or community, which ever you are in the mood for. I really enjoyed my time there and look forward to coming back!

Yeyen and Farbod’s property feels like something pulled straight out of a fairytale. From the moment you arrive, you can sense the care and imagination that has gone into creating a space that’s both magical and welcoming. The setting is lush, layered, and full of charm—it’s truly above and beyond incredible.
One of the most impressive features is the outdoor kitchen. This isn’t just a grill setup—it’s a fully stocked culinary haven that even a professional chef would be thrilled with. Every tool, pan, and surface you might need is there, making it easy to execute anything from a simple breakfast to a gourmet dinner. Cooking in that space is a serious treat.
The property is essentially a big hill, guests should come prepared. It’s probably not the best fit for those with limited mobility.
While there is an ocean view from the very top of the property, it’s partly blocked by hills. You’ll see water but won’t see the shoreline or waves directly.
For campers considering Tugley Wood, note that the sites are close to the road. It’s convenient, but you will definitely hear traffic from passing cars.
All in all, this property is enchanting and unforgettable—a unique blend of storybook magic and thoughtful design that makes for a one-of-a-kind stay.

It’s truly impossible to explain what a magical and spectacular place this is so I won’t try. From the moment we arrived we felt like we were in a sacred place that reflects the beauty and warmth of the owners Farbod and Yeyen. Everything you could possibly want from a camping experience is yours to experience. We cannot wait to return. We had our travel trailer and stayed in the lower part of the property which is immaculate. But we walked the entire property a few times and just discovered such inviting and stunning spaces to sit and take it all in.
I would gladly stay in any of the accommodations - they are just really special and unique.

Awesome experience, well exceeded our expectations from all aspects! Loved how flexible the hosts are, definitely coming back. The only downside is you probably won’t tolerate a lesser camping site after this;)

We had a truly memorable stay at this beautiful spot and would highly recommend it for families. Farbod and Yeyen are such thoughtful hosts - it’s clear they’ve poured their heart and soul into creating a warm, welcoming environment. We chose to bring our own tents and camp, and were impressed by the range of facilities available: a well-equipped communal kitchen, cozy fireplace, fridge, BBQ grill, and hot showers. The little touches made it even more special - breakfast was served one morning, and there was even a movie night for the kids, which they loved.
A couple of considerations worth mentioning: our campsite was located near the road, so there was some traffic noise at night. Additionally, we noticed cameras positioned near the open shower area. While this may have been intended for general security, clearer communication or signage would help reassure guests about privacy in such spaces.
Overall, the experience was wonderful, and we’d love to return in the future. With just a few adjustments, this already fantastic place could become truly perfect.

The best luxury RV camping in San Francisco guide
Where to go
North Bay
Take the Golden Gate Bridge across the San Francisco Bay and you’ll find yourself in the North Bay, known for beautiful beaches, cute towns, and two of California’s most lauded wine regions: the Napa Valley and Sonoma County. You'll find fantastic camping options across the region, from the redwood forests of Mount Tamalpais State Park to secluded Angel Island State Park, which you can only reach by taking a boat or ferry across the San Francisco Bay.
East Bay
While many people associate the East Bay with Oakland, you won't need to go far to get out into beautiful natural areas, either for the day or for a few nights. Great options with campgrounds include Mount Diablo State Park, where you can take in beautiful views of the region, and Anthony Chabot Regional Park, just east of San Leandro.
Along the Pacific Ocean
Some of California's most inviting stretches of coastline are within a short jaunt of San Francisco, from the dramatic cliffs of Point Reyes National Seashore in the North Bay to the sandy shores of Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco. While many of the camping options in this area are on private land, some state-run parks, such as Salt Point State Park, have campgrounds.
Santa Cruz Mountains
Part of the longer Pacific Coast mountain range, the Santa Cruz Mountains are great for hiking and backpacking. Both Castle Rock State Park and Portola Redwoods State Park have backcountry trail camping options, and Portola also has a group drive-in family campground. Sanborn County State Park is another good option, with both RV and hike-in campgrounds.
When to go
San Francisco's weather is notoriously idiosyncratic, so no matter when you visit, it's good to wear layers and be prepared for the possibility of rainfall. While early summer can get a lot of fog, things usually clear up by late August and stay warm well into early October. If you’re planning to camp in the area, you’ll find pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds after the Labor Day weekend.
