  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    This campsite offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern comforts, making it a favorite among visitors. Guests rave about the well-maintained amenities, including a hot tub, communal kitchen, and clean bathrooms. The campsite's proximity to the town and beach, along with the presence of farm animals and beautiful scenery, adds to its appeal. While some mention minor drawbacks like the absence of lagoon views and loud roosters, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many eager to return.

    Tent camped at BBF Site 4 - Cypress Front with kids, Nov 2026.

    Doesn't recommend

    I am sad to leave this negative review as this is a wonderful place to camp with amazing amenities and walking distance to bolinas. I booked all 4 meadow sites for a multifamily camping weekend; on Saturday Walter overbooked my site to another family without checking in with me first and, when I approached him to discuss, stated it was because our tents were only occupying 2 sites and refused to refund me the fee for that site. I messaged them afterwards hoping to clear the air and they just responded the family was desperately looking for a site. I would have gladly provided that site we weren’t using to the family; however, not choosing with me first or confirming we did not have additional people coming, refusing a refund and not acknowledging that they did anything wrong has left me not wanting to return again :(
