Magical Redwood Forest Deluxe Camp!
Super smooth camping experience with sweethearts for hosts! Great location to experience all the Mendocino attractions. Easy drive to the river, ocean, Montgomery Woods, and Orr Hot Springs. Great alternative for camping at Orr, quick drive for a day trip to the healing hot springs. Easy directions and a well stocked cute general store just down the road. Very peaceful place. We will be back.

We loved tent camping on this property! When we arrived, Glenn met us at the gate to show us to the site and we were blown away by how beautiful the area is.
After setting up camp, we took some time to explore and had a great time hiking around the property - we even found some gorgeous leopard lilies near the creek! The site itself was very cozy, and the solar lights around the campsite are a great touch. The outside kitchen space made cooking dinner and taking care of dishes so much easier, and the bathroom was easily accessible from the site. The platform under the tent is sturdy and had plenty of room for our tent + any gear we needed to lay out in between hiking trips in the nearby state parks.
Our absolute favorite part was getting to hear all of the neighboring birds on the property - owls at night, red-shouldered hawks in the morning, and plenty of songbirds in between.
We will definitely be back for any future trips!

Peace and quiet - little paradise
Although short, we had a wonderful one night stay at Shepard’s Creek. We were welcomed by their two dogs and Glenn and Shillia who showed us around the land.
We booked Hunter’s Belt but since we were the only ones there, we could park wherever we wanted. It was raining so we couldn’t make full use of everything that was there, but it’s a great spot to stay a few nights, explore the forest and enjoy the peace and quiet. We even saw some deer in the morning when taking a walk.
Would definitely recommend! We would’ve loved to stay a couple more days.

Great Mother’s Day Camp Out 2022
What a great space for a group! Booked this sort of last second for a group/ Mother’s Day getaway. Had the place to ourselves which was great ( spaces are close to each other w/ community fireplace). We had more cars than recommended but Glenn was very cool about it. He chopped wood and had firewood ready to go. The tent decks were great, the trails nice for walking with a lovely creek and waterfall. The kitchen wasn’t set up yet but not an issue for us as we weren’t expecting half the setup that was there. There was a couch and multiple chairs/ tables for everyone. The outhouse was the cleanest and best smelling outhouse ever ( cinnamon/ clove airfreshner)- even had hand sanitizer and a lateen for night time excursions! Super quiet and beautiful at night, with nice solar light setup to make you feel safe without it interrupting stargazing.

We really enjoyed our visit! We lucked out being the only campers there and got to spread out. Definitely would be great place to book for a large group as some of the spots are close together. The land here is absolutely beautiful, babbling creek nearby, very clean port-o-pot, pathways have solar lights guiding. Easy communication with hosts. Glenn met us when we arrived and drove us to the spot, and the fire was already going! That was great! We unplugged (no att cell service) and definitely had an enjoyable time. Thanks for the stay!

Balance of Forest and Sunshine
I’m in love with this property! It has a perfect blend of openness and forest. It was a wonderfully secluded camping area for my party of 8 with ample accommodations for prepping, cooking, and seating. The host, Shi, was very friendly and helpful making sure we had everything we needed. If you are looking for a beautiful camping area surrounded by redwoods but also enough open space for sunlight to shine down on you, Orion’s Hill is the one!
