23 beautiful acres at the top of the mountain overlooking the valley below and the mountains on the other side. We are often Above the Clouds in the mornings. You will need to come up a windy country road to get to us but it will be well worth it. Learn more about this land: Welcome to our Above the Clouds RV spot, tucked away in between Napa and Sonoma Valleys - right in the middle of wine country! This is the perfect peaceful getaway near great outdoor activities and some of the best wineries in California! About the Property: Above the Clouds campsite is surrounded by beautiful, stately trees and overlooks the Valley of the Moon with a stunning mountain view. We are just 11 miles from the city of Sonoma and only 8 miles from the Napa Valley - making both destinations really easy to get to. You can enjoy the California wineries, restaurants, and shops that you'd like! We are also ideally located near Jack London State Park - which is a really pretty and historic place to go! The opportunities for hiking around our property are endless, and definitely head to the wineries if that's of interest to you. On our property you can enjoy exploring our more-than 20 acres of land, taking the row-boat (provided by Hosts) out on our pond, hiking or just relaxing in a serene setting and watching a great variety of birds. Formerly utilized as a bed and breakfast, when we moved to the property we definitely wanted to continue sharing the land and views with guests. As hosts, we are around and enjoy getting to know the our visitors if you are up for that, otherwise we are also happy to respect total privacy. There are 3 sites next to the pond, we have one that is there all the time in the summer but those folks only come a couple of times each month. The 2 others are right next to each other near the pond. We haven't started having more than one rented at a time yet but do expect to start that soon. You may have a neighbor or 2. We hope you enjoy the beautiful sunsets and being literally above the clouds as much as we do! About the Listing: Come park your RV on our property and set up camp at a beautiful spot right next to the pond. You should expect to see us on the property, though your site is well away from the house We have minimal electrical and we do have water hookups available for your RV, we do allow generators. There is a BBQ grill that you are welcome to use for cooking some wonderful meals if you'd like! You can enjoy a bite to eat at the picnic table near your campsite. There is also potable water from our natural spring available onsite for guests. You can enjoy watching the birds, turkeys and deer that meander through the meadow, and feel free to roam around the property taking in the fresh outdoor air! Additional Details to Note: - Check-in is after 2pm and check-out is before 12pm - Things to bring: Everything you need to camp comfortably! Think: toilet paper, cookware, bathing suits if you like, etc. - We do not have wifi available on site and cell reception is spotty, especially for certain carriers. Please prepare accordingly for your travels and your stay. - There is a fire ban in effect, so please no campfires, but we do allow you to use a propane fire pit if you bring it yourself. - We welcome your pets! They can be off leash if they are friendly and if they don't run off - we do not have a fence. - You can contact us if you'd like to check in early - if nobody needs to check out, we are happy to accommodate you! Please feel free to reach out with any questions and we look forward to your stay!

Amazing hosts, beautiful location.
Phil and Colleen are amazing and attentive hosts. They made us feel welcome and their dog Minnie is a lot of fun and good with kids and other dogs. Waking up above the clouds was a treat and we hope to be back soon.

We had a great time on Phil & Colleen's property. They were very responsive and helpful leading up to the trip and extremely hospitable while there. We enjoyed the quiet and serene time by the pond, along with the gorgeous views of the mountains.

Ideal Location, Leveled, & Peaceful
Phil and Colleen were wonderful hosts. Their site is in a fantastic location for visits to area wineries and restaurants. We pulled our 19 ft. airstream up from the Sonoma side of the hill without any issues and were able to position on their wonderfully level prepared pad without any issues. (Thanks to Phil & Colleen for helping to guide). We felt that everything was safe while away during the day, and it was quiet and peaceful at night.

Phil and Colleen were wonderful hosts. Their dog Minnie greeted us each morning and brought joy to the start of the day. It was unfortunate not to have any clouds so we missed the “above the clouds” experience. But each night we enjoyed the beautiful sunset from our camp site. Looking forward to going back again

Phil and Colleen were amazing hosts and were especially helpful guiding us to the camping location on their beautiful property where we had good views of their pond and the sunset over the ridge. It was our first hip camp stay and they set the bar high inviting us to wine and appetizers - we enjoyed the chance to get to know them better and meet Colleen’s mom Betty too.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful place. Great for groups - we were a group of 7 adults and 6 kids in 3 RVs and had a great time! Electric and water hookups made things convenient during our short stay. The boat was definitely a big hit among the kids :) Phil and Colleen were warm and welcoming - great hosts! Thanks for having us - looking forward to doing this again next year!

I loved van-camping at Above the Clouds. View from there is spectacular. Colleen & Phil are the best hosts, super nice & helpful. We were nicely greeted by their nephew Trevor who offered help if anything was needed. Next day, Colleen very nicely shared a glass of wine with us and made us feel very welcome. I would go back there with no doubt.

Great place in Sonoma County
This is a great place to stay with a trailer. The property is a few miles east of the 12 in Sonoma County, up in the hills above Glen Ellen. The views from the property are fantastic. Location wise, you're less than 20 minutes from the Sonoma square and in the heart of beautiful wine country. We have a 25 ft trailer and while Trinity Road is definitely slow going with a trailer, certainly safe and doable. They have a nice level pad for the trailer which backs onto a nice pond. The back-in is a little tricky, but I'm no pro with backing and was able to get it without too much pain. Their property is as great place for kids with the pond and various places to explore. Phil and Colleen were both very nice and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Great view and sunset
Loved this private site on Colleen and Phil’s land. They met us on arriving and told us about the site. It really did feel like we were in the clouds, the view and sunset were amazing. We both felt so relaxed here and can’t wait to visit again on our next Campervan trip.

Colleen & Phil’s RV spot above the clouds is a lovely place with a fantastic view, really nice touches with solar lights, a BBQ, seating area, and a pond to relax next to. They are very welcoming and even helped us get our camper parked (our second time out 😺). We would definitely recommend to others and hope we can be back for a longer stint in the future!

Magical
We loved Above the clouds! The views were beautiful! My dog had the best playmate with Mini, Coleen and Phil’s dog! Our morning view was of the pond and wild turkeys. We biked, hiked and relaxed in the swimming pool. I cannot wait to go again. The best part was we were the only ones there. I loved how peaceful it was, no car noise just quiet.

It’s really a magical place. It’s so quiet we noticed all the noise we left behind. The pond was a great feature. It was a lovely view to wake up to every morning. Our dog really enjoyed it too. They also had a warm pool and gazebo that we enjoyed as well. Phil and Colleen are super nice people and warm hosts. They helped to make our trip so much more enjoyable.

Best experience ever!!
Such an amazing experience! Phil and Colleen are the most gracious hosts and we can’t wait to visit again. The property is absolutely gorgeous, perfect for our 27ft airstream. That have an excellent, level plot and we didn’t even need our leveling blocks. I can’t say enough about how wonderful our visit was! Definitely a must do when you’re in the Sonoma area.

Camp above the clouds!
During our stay at Above the Clouds, my husband and I enjoyed the natural beauty of expansive Sonoma valley vistas and quality interaction with friendly people. Our accommodating hosts, Phil and Colleen, kept in great contact with us before arriving, and were absolutely fantastic hosts during our time here. Phil and Colleen are exceptionally kind people. Getting to know them, and the history of the property over appetizers and wine was a big part of what made this visit to Above the Clouds so memorable. Thank you! The property itself was well-maintained, and offered opportunities for many great activities: there was a tranquil pond perfect for spotting wildlife; a pavilion for relaxing; numerous picnic tables for dining al fresco, and a nice pool and hot-tub. Of course, there were also fantastic views for watching the sunset and star-gazing. The natural highlight of our visit to this aptly named Hipcamp was, indeed, waking up ‘above the clouds’. As the fog rolled in over night, a sea of clouds formed below the elevated vantage point of the property. In the morning, we were treated to a surreal “cloudscape”-- the kind usually reserved for high-flying airline passengers. That was a truly unique experience. One point that must be mentioned about this Hipcamp is its exceptional location. My husband and I loved how quickly and easily accessible both Sonoma and Napa were from this property. Perfect! Thank you for sharing your lovely Hipcamp with us, Colleen and Phil!

Amazing views
I had a great stay at Phil & Colleen’s, I arrived later than planned due to inclement weather around SF but they could not have been more welcoming. The location is fantastic, waking up above the clouds across the valley was a lovely surprise. Will definitely stay again when I’m in the area.

Camping with a view
We loved the place. Betty, Coleen and Phil (and not to forget their Minnie goldendoodle) are very friendly people. Such a quiet place with a wonderful view. They are located just between Sonoma and Napa. We had the chance to have a drink with them looking at the sunset above the clouds and also had the chance to share a picnic with them at the Sonoma 25th Annual City Party ! Wonderful Sonoma experience Thanks a lot for all !

Great Stay at Above the Clouds
We're new to campervan camping and HipCamp was a last-minute decision so we didn't know what to expect. But Phil & Colleen's "Above the Cloud" RV spot certainly set a high standard. The area was a perfect getaway. Phil & Colleen were wonderful hosts, communicating well on what to expect and welcoming us and our dog once we got there. Their property is beautiful and well maintained. The other advantage is the location so close to interesting places in Sonoma County. They get 4 stars from us.

Unforgettable experience
Our stay with Colleen and Phil was fantastic. From the moment we arrived they welcomed us like family and made the beginning of our trip perfect! The site its self is private and away from the house with a beautiful view but we were welcome to use the pool, patio and hot tub which were all amazing. We only spent one night but hope to be back one day!!

It’s really hard to know where to start. Phil and Coleen are incredible hosts and more importantly incredible people. After meeting us in the driveway they directed us to our site. They explained about the water and electricity hookups and told us to join them for a drink after we were settled. They helped us map out our long weekend in wine country and gave us local tips to make our experience memorable. We took full advantage of the beautiful swimming pool overlooking the valley and caught the sunset each night. Our last night they again invited us up on their porch for our last sunset in paradise. Such caring and incredible people. They love sharing their property with travelers passing through. It’s windy getting up there, and the power is limited to 10 amps, which, are both trade offs to have an incredible experience at their site. 100% would recommend for a unique experience you will not forget.
