Great but Disrupted Sleep

Eel river overlook
The camp host was great at communicating & showing us around the property. Shower worked great, adequately level area for our very small camper van. Noise from 101 no worse than the nearby state park & identified in the listing. Noise from camp host House in the middle of the night was a problem & concern other non-hipcamo visitors were causing our host problems. Can't recommend due to this sleep disruption

Blue Bell Dream Tent
Such a special place to be. The homey feeling of an Airbnb with the privacy and nature of a good camping adventure. River access is a little bit of a trek to get to so just something to note if you might not be as able bodied but sooo worth it if you can- we essentially had that section of the river completely to ourselves. Tent was well kept and everything was well maintained. Would definitely recommend and will probably be back at some point!

Blue Bell Dream Tent
We loved our night at the bell tent by the river. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. Season was a warm, helpful host. It was very hot when we arrived and she recommended some Eel River splash and swim locations based on my son's swimming ability. The showers were warm and well kept. Wifi was strong enough for video chats wih family. The portapotties were clean but nothing can change the odor in 100 degree heat. Plus the dog and cat were so cute and sweet. We plan to come back.

The look out bluff
Such a beautiful time in the woods and close to the river! And conveniently located right off the 101. It was perfect swimming, and felt very private and peaceful. The river access was great for us, although probably tricky for older people/ people with physical limitations to access. Season was a great host, and was in close communication. The lounge area was a nice surprise, as well as the garden and outdoor seating. Honestly could not of had a better time- we will definitely be back!

The look out bluff
I loved my experience camping at the Five Sisters Campsite! My girlfriend and I stayed at the lookout bluff which was so lovely and secluded with a beautiful view and access to the river! Everyone at the campsite was so helpful and sweet, especially the star of the show ROSCO! The property dog is the sweetest, most perfect boy who will pay you the occasional visit for lots of love and pets! Definitely recommend staying here for good vibes, beautiful sights, and easy commutes to nearby state parks!

I had a great time here. Season was really lovely and helpful, lending me lamps and helping me start a fire. It's in a beautiful location and I went to sleep to the sound of running water. It was winter and I was super grateful for access to the barn, microwave and kettle to keep me warm. It was also great chatting to Season. I'd highly recommend this place

The host, Season, was very helpful in getting us settled. She continued to be very helpful throughout our stay. We hiked down to the river and found that the water was surprisingly warm. Roscoe the dog was smart and friendly. If you are a light sleeper, please be aware that there is some noise from the highway which is close by. Overall we enjoyed our time at Five Sisters Farm.

Just the best place
Blue Bell Dream Tent
This place is a haven…an absolutely incredible gem tucked away. We stayed in one of the yurts and we were in heaven; we had everything we needed. Season was the most gracious and generous host, she even took time out of her busy everyday schedule to talk to us about the farming she does on her property and the history of the area. We really and truly hope we can come back again someday. Thank you so much!!

I loved this impromptu stay. Season and her up Roscoe were so fun to hang with. Loved having the place to myself again and being able to enjoy the private swimming holes in the river. The site is large and close to the road, but private. You will hear road noise, so if you are a light sleeper, I’d choose another site. I didn’t even pitch a tent. I just slept in the back of my car and backed in so I could have the view of the river and trees.

Eel river overlook
Season's farm was so impressive with her knowledge of the area, plants, water and of course, Rosco! 4 acres, next to the Eel River with showers, bathroom, and a gorgeous barn to hang out and have coffee in the morning or a cocktail in the evening. Day trips to a number of places to explore, if you have time, is a must! Very peaceful location for either bringing a tow behind trailer or tent too, but her Tents she provides are beautiful and impressive! A fantastic experience. We loved meeting Season and will miss petting and spoiling Rosco!!!

Seasons place is amazing. She is such an attentive host and provided our big group with everything we could have hoped for. The bluff is great if you have a lot of people and don’t want to feel like you have to be too quiet as it’s away from the main property. It’s right by the entrance to the river too so you are only a few minutes from paradise. I would absolutely recommend this site and definitely plan to be back!

Escape into the redwoods
Five Sisters Farm Deluxe bell tent
My partner and I enjoyed our stay with Season! Our tent came with a super comfy queen sized bed and Season gave us great recommendations on where to eat and hike. Our first night we swam in the river bend on the property. There were a few other campers onsite; everyone was respectful of each other’s space. We went hiking in the early morning to avoid the scorching daytime temps during this California heatwave. Our campsite is right across from the barn where the kitchen supplies are, and a short walk from two portapotties.
