Stories from the community

3 nights at The Mojo River Spot in the redwoods

I reserved a stay on Joelle’s land super last minute after a really hard week. She was super accommodating and welcomed me and my little pup within a few hours of booking. I got lucky and had the whole property to myself. I prob could have stayed in a cabin or an extra fancy large tent but opted for my single person on a little cliff overlooking the river. Nature did not disappoint me, I saw bald eagles, a bobcat and even a friendly river otter from my perch in the grass above the bank. If you’re into real camping-like pack it in and out-this is a good spot to tuck in. Sure, there are amenities but the real gem here is keeping it simple and enjoying the diversity of life bursting from every corner. If you’re still enough, you will be rewarded Can’t wait to make my way back and snag the island for myself! Thanks Joelle for being a great host

Weekend Trip to Timber Cove Campground

An incredible mesmerizing view and a very hospitable host on site, recipe for a great weekend and memories with the kids.

Weekend Trip to Timber Cove Campground

We absolutely loved this campsite. Beautiful cliff side views, quiet and peaceful. Hidden gem along the coast. We’ll definitely be back

Weekend Trip to Timber Cove Campground

Beautiful location, 10/10 experience. Brenda was fantastic! Very welcoming and a great resource for points of interest in the area. Incredible value overall. Private cove to explore, relax, or launch a kayak. We harvested mussels and sea urchin at low tide (with a fishing permit). We took a 45 min day trip to Bodega Bay for some crab fishing, and ate at Fisherman’s Cove (great oysters) and fish and chips. Came back to our campsite and took hot showers (Brenda has quarters for the shower meter), and quality firewood at $12/bundle with kindling. There’s a great cafe and general store only 2 minutes drive down the street. Our campsite didn’t have water or electric, but we were free to use any open site’s water and electric hook ups. The site is right off Highway 1, but there’s little traffic by sunset. Also, the site is fairly well wind protected, and the wind generally dies down by golden hour. With the crashing waves below and incredible views, it gave for a peaceful and serene experience. We’ll absolutely be back here.

Weekend Trip to Timber Cove Campground

Lovely views! We had a great time. It felt very private even with other folks around. We would come back for sure.

2 nights at Timber Cove Campground

Brenda was absolutely great, very helpful and kind. The beach was amazing, the views from our site were incredible, our dog got to be off leash at the beach! We got to watch the seals on the rocks with their pups! Bathrooms were clean with coin showers! Brenda even cooked us up some muscles and brought them right to our door! We will definitely be back!

2 nights at Blackberry Farm

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

4 nights at Herrick Vineyards Barn Yard

Quiet, safe place to stay in Healdsburg, CA. We stayed here 4 nights. Would stay here again.

Location, location, location! Central to Healdsburg and many wineries. Very clean and Lorri is great host. Definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Blackberry Farm

Weekend Trip to The Mojo River Spot in the redwoods

Simply awesome property with lots of cool and quaint features. Would stay again for sure!

2 nights at Estero San Antonio Wonderland

Wow! This place is so charming. If is rustic, but the setting and location couldn’t be any better. We were woken up each morning by 20 different species of birds and could hear the owls at night. It is only a couple of miles from town and a 10 minute drive to the beach! The water is steps from the front door and the farm stand offerings are delicious!

1 night at The Mojo River Spot in the redwoods

The site was great for our family Easter gathering. There was plenty of space, tables, chairs, everything we needed. The host, Joelle, was very communicative and responsive to our needs. We did not stay overnight so can't comment on sleeping at the site, but it was perfect for our needs.

Weekend Trip to Herrick Vineyards Barn Yard

We dry camped along the vineyard with 2 other groups of friends. The location did have a bit of road noise but nothing that kept us awake. We also paid to have access to the barn’s bathroom, laundry and hangout area. It was nice to have that convenience.

6 nights at Herrick Vineyards Barn Yard

We had an enjoyable stay on the Little Vineyard spot. Site is level, hookups work well and Lorri continues to add nice touches in the landscaping. We are repeat customers and plan to return.

Weekend Trip to Timber Cove Campground

From the moment we got there we were blown away by the location! Brenda was very welcoming and helpful. I would say our campsite was one of the better ones, if not best. It was a smaller than usual spot but since there was a water feature and practically our own private beach, it made up for it marvelously. Definitely worth the trip!

Weekend Trip to Timber Cove Campground

Brenda is a wonderful host , very polite and attentive. We moved spots for a better view, the beach is right below,, calm waters and dog friendly. Clean bathrooms and warm showers, nice to have a campfire at night , we enjoyed our stay

Weekend Trip to Timber Cove Campground

We had a great time in Timber Cove! The campground has beautiful views of the ocean and was clean, quiet, and peaceful even with a number of dogs camping. Brenda was very kind and had some great hiking suggestions for the area! Would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Timber Cove Campground

Had a wonderful trip and the location was beautiful. We stayed right on the bluffs with an ocean view and at night there are so many stars to see! The bathrooms were nearby and very clean. Brenda was friendly and welcoming and able to provide firewood or quarters for the shower if needed.

Weekend Trip to Blackberry Farm

We loved camping on Sirima and Walter's farm! Site #4 was private, near the chickens and parking area. The site was full, and we still felt like we had our own space. We really enjoyed the hot tub and watching the baby goats run around.

Timber Cove Campground

9 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Jenner, CA

Located right off coastal US highway 1, Timber Cove campground sits right at the edge of breathtaking, oceanside cliffs. We are situated on roughly two acres of land, with multiple campsites for tent/car camping or RV’s. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire pit and water. Electricity is available to use for an extra fee. We have separate men’s and women’s flush bathrooms, with coin-operated hot showers. We have firewood with kindling for sale on site, payable with cash or Venmo. Please take note of local fire bans, when in effect. Dog friendly, though be advised a leash is recommended as we are close to the road, but they can run leash-free down at the beach. We are located 30 minutes north of the town of Jenner, with Gualala 30 minutes to the north. Gualala has grocery stores, a post office, and some shops. Fort Ross Store is located one mile down the road, just before Timber Cove, and sells basic food necessities, drinks, sandwiches, ice and gas. Internet cell service can be spotty in our area, depending on your provider, so bring your own Starlink services if you have them. We also have access to the beach below, and offer beach camping as well. Take note that the road down to the beach is steep with uneven terrain. The weather can vary quickly here, so be sure to bring multiple layers of clothing and camp gear for various types of weather, and headlamps are useful for getting around the property at night! We hope you’ll come visit our little slice of heaven on the ocean cliffs, gaze at the stars, marvel at the sunsets, watch the harbor seals dozing on their rocks and the many bird species that inhabit our property. Bring your binoculars and watch out for whales too! We look forward to hosting you at Timber Cove. Please email with any questions about camping with us. Address: 21350 CA-1, Jenner, CA 95450

Salmon Creek Ranch

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents400 acres · Bodega Bay, CA

Located within 45 minutes of the wine country and 2 miles from the coast, our property is 400 acres of rolling hills and redwood groves, with a creek running along its base. With miles of trails meandering through quiet woods and meadows, you will be able to revel in the tranquility of a private preserve, without sacrificing easy access to some of Sonoma County's most famous attractions. A hundred years ago, this land was used to graze sheep. Remnants of the old fence lines can still be seen in places, along with old cement troughs. Since then, the land has been left to its own devices, passing through many hands, most famously owned by two brothers in the 1980's who built a truly amazing tree house in the forest which has been featured in several magazine articles. It was revamped and updated in 2016 by a master craftsman, using fallen redwood logs found on the property and is now a unique structural work of art, available for overnight stays. We produce 100% grass fed, dry-aged beef on our certified organic pastures and have a store on site if you would like to purchase delicious steaks, ribs, ground beef for hamburgers or some roasts to take home. Our cattle graze on the native grasses, never grain, and drink only water produced from our own springs. We also raise Kiko meat goats and produce pastured, certified organic duck eggs on a commercial basis. Whether it's surfing at sandy beaches, award-winning clam chowder, a wine tour, horseback riding or a hot air balloon ride you're after, you won't have far to drive if you make our ranch your base camp. You may see a family of deer appear suddenly, or a few Scottish Highland cows which we allow to roam freely over the property. There are over twenty species of wild birds that grace this protected spot, so bring your binoculars! A portion of your fee goes towards protecting native flora and fauna as part of our private wildlife preservation program. A limited number of private, widely spaced camp spots are available for visitors. The Eagles' Nest Treehouse (mentioned above) is very isolated and you may or may not even be aware that there are other people within miles of you. For those who value nature, seclusion, quiet and the artistry of old growth redwood, this is the place for you.

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. The pizza oven is not available for campground use. Redwood Grove hangout areas have seating and tree swings. Please pack out your trash. We offer a recycling bin for glass bottles, cans, and clean paper. Parking is 100 yds or less from the campsites. We have a large wheelbarrow to help you cart your camping gear across the pasture to your campsite. No driving onto or parking in the meadow. Due to the narrow driveway and parking area (lack of turnaround), the site cannot accommodate RVs, trailers, or oversize vehicles beyond 16ft in length, 7ft in width, or 10 ft in height. 1 car per campsite, please. 15-minute walk to the beach and downtown.
