Located in the coastal prairie minutes from the Pacific Ocean and the town of Point Arena. Plenty of privacy to launch into day trips and other adventures in this special corner of the world. The campsite offers stunning views, bird watching, and walking trails on the property. We're 5 mins from town, the cove, various beaches, tide pools, the historic lighthouse, fishing spots, and the B Bryan Animal Preserve where you can view African animals and hand feed giraffes. Come find what you've been missing!Come enjoy the solitude of this place aka 'Locus Solus' with friends and family. The camp is perched at the edge of a field before it drops off into a forested canyon. There's stunning views of the surrounding mountain ranges and plenty of soaring eagles, hawks, and turkey vultures to watch. The mighty Pacific is minutes away and you can hear it's roar from the campsite. The charming town of Point Arena is also minutes away with all the amenities one could need from markets, restaurants, a microbrewery, gas station, 2 bakeries, and a volunteer run movie theater. *As we enter into fire season we are not allowing campfires at this time.

Great place to tent camp. Never met the host but I didn’t need to the location of the site was very clear.

Lovely

The campsite was peaceful and secluded, perfect for our decompressing getaway. S & B Market is only 4 miles away in Manchester, CA to restock on our provisions. Paul is an amazing and gracious host and was a lifesaver when our car broke down and he thoughtlessly drove us to the nearest town for a rental car! Thank you so much Paul for your extraordinary hospitality, we will definitely be back!

Nice

Great Spot! This place was great. Close to town, yet far away. Dig it.

Sweet spot! Super quiet yet and beautiful, loved the night lights and table and lounge chairs. Super easy check in, felt in the middle of nowhere yet it was close to town.

Locus Solus

Quite secluded and quiet

The directions were easy to follow. The best features are the spanking new table and the site is very secluded and quiet. I didn't pitch a tent, as the ground isn't flat; it has a gentle uneven slope. So, I used my rooftop tent, mounted on my truck, parked at the parking spot 30 yds. from the table after leveling off with my GoTread ramps.

Pauls land was such a peaceful and relaxing spot to camp for the weekend. We will definitely go back again.
