Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.
A unique experience awaits you. Spend a night sleeping 20 feet up in the air suspended between towering Redwood trees. A custom woven "treenet" by West Marin artist Andrew Castle (https://treenet.studio/), provides a firm surface to hang out and sleep up to 5 people on. It's like floating in space. Bring your sleeping bag, this is open air camping at its best - No roof, no floor! Wake up to the sun filtering through your temple made of trees! Rain is nearly non-existent in the Summer and early Fall in beautiful San Geronimo Valley, making this the perfect place and time to sleep out in the glory of the redwoods. Swainson's Thrush will sing at dusk, followed by the owls and coyote's yipping and howling in the middle of the night (don't let it spook you!) There is amazing hiking all around, potable water on site and a public toilet not far away. There's parking for your camper directly next to the site, keeping your amenities close by.This site is a suspended sleeping space, about 20 feet off the ground, in the middle of 14 redwood trees. You have to climb 2 short but steep staircase/ladders to access it. The net has sides that come up to about waist height, so it's very safe for basic standing, sitting and sleeping use. the net is woven out of hundreds of strands of extremely strong dynamic climbing rope and can hold thousands of pounds, many times more than the weight of 5 large adults. There are Christmas lights for night time lighting, and a powerstrip. You can set a small tent up in this space if you wish but it defeats the purpose.

Camping among the redwoods offers a unique blend of natural beauty and tranquility, with the treenet experience being a standout feature. The setting is somewhat secluded, yet it is part of a neighborhood, making it feel both safe and adventurous. Most campers find the experience magical, especially at night with the fairy lights, although some note the proximity to other homes and occasional noise. The host, Louis, is praised for excellent communication and hospitality.

Flying, and sturdy!
Tent
Great structure and communication! 8 min walk to public porta-potty and beautiful woodsy neighborhood that’s pretty quiet; maybe 3ish houses in hearing range. Amazing to wake up looking into trees and moonlit everything. Gorgeous concept and execution.

Magical experience

If you love redwoods you really can’t get a better experience than this up amongst such tall trees. Laying on the net 20+ feet in the air with fairy lights all around was a magical experience. The build felt very safe and well designed with ample guard rails around. In spite of being in a neighborhood it felt very secluded. Would highly recommend surprising your SO on a date night here!

Sleeping up in the redwoods.

What an amazing night sleeping suspended in the redwoods on an expertly crafted tree net that not only feels secure and safe but is comfy as well. There were four of us and we had plenty of space. It was our first time camping like this so I wasn't sure what to expect but I thought it was so cool it was worth checking out. Although the space isn't completely isolated, as in you can see houses through the trees, the ring of redwoods the net is built in surrounds you creating a magical space. My 13- year-old son and his 14-year-old friend loved it. The other dad zonked out within minutes. We all agreed we would do it again. And for the lovers out there, this place is dreamy. Louis the host was prompt and clear with answering questions and directions. Two big thumbs up.

So fun (but come prepared)!
Tent
I personally loved the entire experience ! However, I do recommend coming prepared !! the site has no amenities, but I have a camping toilet with a toilet tent, which made things so much easier. Louis provided me with a little table but if you’re planning to come with a ton of food, cooking gear, supplies, cosmetics, etc, I recommend maybe even bringing a folding table as the site does not have anywhere to set your things on or for u to sit. I also recommend bringing some kind of sleeping pad to bring up into the tree with you. I’m really glad I brought two of mine bc the ropes that make the net are quite stiff and I can’t imagine sleeping directly on them for multiple nights. With my sleeping pads, sleeping bags, and wool blankets, I seriously had some of the best sleep of my life! I loveddddd sleeping in that tree so much. Heads up: you are at the end of the Host’s driveway in a mildly populated small town. So, you will hear cars, passerbyers, people cycling nearby, etc. I always pack earplugs when I’m camping, and I’m really glad I did because I ended up needing to use them to get to sleep. Other than that— the host’s cats are CRAZY CUTE. They wear these little bells around their neck, so I would hear them coming to greet me in the morning. Such a sweet way to wake up! I recommend staying here for sure, but come with everything you’d possibly need to make the set up as comfy as possible! Don’t just show up with a couple blankets and food lol. Thanks Louis !!

The treenet is an incredible experience, especially when sleeping. The area is a little less secluded than I was expecting but it was never a problem and still very cool nonetheless. I highly recommend!

First time experiencing a tree net. Cool and unique experience with three teenagers and husband. Not large rural property but felt private enough enclosed within the ring of redwoods on Louis’s property in the residential neighborhood for hanging with family for evening games and sleep. Neighborhood is across the main street from large, beautiful open space for exploring. Check out trails on AllTrails in San Geronimo, like Roy’s Redwoods for ideas. Didn’t go far but leaves much to explore on a future visit. We had come from a day at the beach and dinner in Stinson. Great sleepover stop before heading home toward Sacramento the next day. Louis is friendly and helpful. Great stay. Thx Louis for sharing your space and making a special trip with teens possible.
