2 nights at Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

Magical! It felt so private, like we were in the middle of nowhere among the redwoods— except we were also 15-30 min from the cutest coastal towns, the ocean, and many state parks! There’s some pretty impressive redwoods on property. We saw banana slugs, dear, and many more critters exploring the trails behind the site. Water for washing and an electric outlet available too! As some of the other reviews mention, the site is small. One 4 person tent could fit comfortably. I enjoyed having the convenience of the composting toilet, and would like it better if it was further away from the fire pit. It’s literally 3 feet away lol! Not too far away there’s another clearing with a bench and a small table, perhaps that could be a still convenient and more private location for the bathroom.

2 nights at Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

This site was so serene and beautiful! Being woken up by the birds and soft light coming through the trees was unreal. Having the string lights, fire pit, picnic table, and little toilet made it comfortable and just like a typical campsite at an established campground but better. We loved our stay!

1 night at Sleep Up High In A Redwood Tree-net

Great place to stay!!! Me and my wife loved the landscape and outside showers!

Weekend Trip to Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

We camped with our toddler and had a great stay! The site is really private and surrounded by redwood trees, and it’s a ~15 minute drive to the beach and the Forest of Nisene Marks. The only downside is that there were a lot of mosquitos while we were there, although with bug spray and long sleeves we don’t seem to have gotten bit much.

Weekend Trip to Redwood Paradise Camping

Such a peaceful and serene retreat. Spent a great weekend here with my boys and will definitely be back. Serves as a great base camp to explore nearby towns and travel to the beach. Also has enough amenities to just kick back on property and enjoy a relaxing day. Marshall and Tanya were amazing hosts!

Weekend Trip to Redwood Paradise Camping

I loved camping on Ruth's land. I was at site 3 poolside and I was right next to the pool and the parking. First time ever camping right next to a pool!! Their place is in the Santa Cruz Mountains, yet was only 15 minutes from Felton and not much more to town. The location was very convenient as I forgot bug spray and had to go grab some at the store which was a quick drive. The property is surprisingly quiet, with the exception of their well pumping water every so often (barely noticeable). Marshall, Ruth's son, was telling me about the cleaning they've done in preparation for the season and it shows. His piano playing is very relaxing too! The rules they had were very reasonable, especially since its just a single mother with her son running this whole thing. Make sure to bring a small table because the sites don't have their own tables—which is something I would recommend to Ruth and Marshall! I can't wait to come again and bring my girlfriend:)

Weekend Trip to Redwood Paradise Camping

Ruth's place is great! Her son Marshall and the dog Snoopy are fantastic hosts (the coffee on the deck in the morning is a wonderful touch). We had a great time with our two young kids, they loved the trampolines and the swimming pool and we enjoyed relaxing in our very private campsite. We definitely recommend it and we hope to be back soon

Weekend Trip to Redwood Paradise Camping

We loved camping amongst the redwoods. The hosts were very welcoming and the morning coffee was an extra treat.

2 nights at Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

We loved Fern Ridge Flats! Matt 's communication, attention to detail, and warmth were beyond terrific! The area was super clean, exactly as advertised, and super convenient for our 2 days of hiking in The Forest of Nisene Marks and one day at Wilder Ranch State Park. We will definitely be back. Thanks so much!

Weekend Trip to Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

Great spot on private land with gorgeous views! Very secluded even though you are just behind the host's house. Are kids were just old enough (3.5 and 5.5) but any younger would have a hard time staying out of the poison oak and away from the steep hills. Matt was very thoughtful with the amenities that make this spot so easy and comfortable - toilet, spigot, gas fire pit. It's a very peaceful spot bursting with nature that is soothing on both the eyes and ears. So easy to get into town and have a beach day, then come back to camp in the redwoods.

Weekend Trip to Windsor Family Farm

Absolutely a fantastic experience for all of us! Especially my 2 years old son! We had such a great time playing with animals, playing with all the toys! Kim was absolutely the perfect host and super super nice! Everything was so clean and well maintained and the hot breakfast DELICIOUS! We will come back for sure!

3 nights at Patchen Christmas Tree Farm

It was very relaxing at the farm. The directions were easy to follow and Kelley is a kind host. It's nice little getaway

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

We loved this unique spot! It was the first night in a month long trip and it was perfect! We loved the location and had such a great time sleeping in the trees! Such a great host also. Thanks for the two nights our kids loved!!!

1 night at #2 HMB Highway Overnight Rest Stop

Great stay. Exactly as described. An overnight rest stop next to the highway. I’ll be back again. Thank you.

1 night at Slide Ranch Campsites

Probably the single most beautiful campsite I have had. Looking out over the Pacific. We had it to ourselves and that was great. It would be cramped at full capacity but still one of your few chances to camp with this sort of view. Cooking setup was totally fine for making pasta with pre made sauce. Hike in is long enough to make it real but there were carts. We brought in "car camping lite" gear not backpacking weight. Instructions were clear and extensive. All good.

2 nights at Blackberry Farm

Gorgeous spot with nice camping set-up. Definitely would recommend!

1 night at Windsor Family Farm

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here! Lots of animals to pet and play with. Kim was an amazing hostess. Truly. We were sad to leave and if we’re ever back this way again, we’d stay here. Be prepared for lots of early morning rooster calls, but even that would not deter us from coming again. Sweetest little farm.

2 nights at Slide Ranch Campsites

One of a kind campsite. Loved the simplicity of everything.

3 nights at Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

I loved my stay at fern flats! I got the most amazing sleep, the birds provided beautiful music and it was absolutely quiet at night. I would definitely return. There was construction noise in the mornings though which Matt had zero control over. Hopefully the construction noise will be gone soon. The bottom line is that this place was great!

2 nights at Blackberry Farm

A gorgeous place to camp off the grid! We were not prepared for the sheer quality of the amenities, including what is basically a kitchen for basic camping meals and clean toilets and showering with running water. The property is beautiful and just down the road from town, and the hosts are friendly and gracious as well. We plan to return anytime!

Blackberry Farm

6 sites · Lodging, Tents6 acres · Bolinas, CA

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. Unruly pets and their campers will be asked to leave. No refund. Limit: 1 dog per site. Pitch your tent in a meadow shared by: Campsite 1 - left side of the meadow, closest to the common area and hot tub. Campsite 2 - middle of the meadow, closest to our fenced apiary and bee garden. Campsite 3 - right side of the meadow, near the orchard. (sites 1 and 3 are next to each other) Campsite 4 - front of the pasture, closest to the parking area (best for car/van campers wanting space to lounge near their parked vehicle.) Multiple sites may be booked for group camping. Sites 1 and 3 are next to each other under the Cypress Trees. Add site 2 if you would like the entire back half of the campground. Add site 4 if you'd like to have a maximum number of 16 total campers and 2 tents/per site. The common area has an outdoor shower, hot tub, covered bbq/cook area, tented (weather-protected) hangout space, and a place to stash your surfboard.
