Surrounded by cooperate timberland, it feels like there are no neighbors! There is not a house in sight but the the ridge views seem to go on forever!
- There is a simple latrine at each site. A full bath house with a flush toilet and hot shower is available next to the main house. A water spigot is attached to the main house.
- Spare camping supplies are available by the bath house if you forget something! Ask ahead if you need to borrow a specific item.
More about the property: I built my home high upon a southern ridge. Watching the river of coastal fog flow in and out below me is one of the most wonderful views to behold! I have 30 acres of land to explore and camp upon in the surrounding redwood forest.
10 miles east are Montgomery Woods redwood preserve with GIANT trees, and a little farther, perhaps a mile is the famous Orr Hot Springs Resort. If you drive a half hour west from my land you will be in the coastal Mendocino village.
We are marijuana friendly!! Thus, we have created more of an adult oriented atmosphere.
one last note: We recently made separate listings for different sites. See campsite #1 for reviews.
Guests love staying here "What a fantastic experience. I arrived to Cosmo’s super late after a long day going up the coast. It was a last minute book that morning, if I remember right - my campsite had fallen through. His directions were spot on, and very kindly he stayed up to take me to my site and help me get set up, even going so far as to light me a fire. His property was easily navigable in the dark, and my two wheel drive made it fine. We talked for a while - what a cool guy. He was able to give me recommendations from a friend of what to do during the next legs of my trip, which was great and really did make a difference for the rest of my week. I cooked my dinner and sat stunned looking at some of the best stargazing I’ve had in a long time.
When I woke up I realized that I had been sleeping next to a mountainside view - this was site 3. Talk about the best surprise I’ve gotten in a while unzipping a tent. The clouds were gathered in the valley and as I ate breakfast I got to watch the sun slowly clear then out. It was unbelievable.
Before I left, Cosmo let me use his indoor solar-heated shower and told me all about his projects to build his own home and roads and move towards a more sustainable future. Overall this is really the best of what I imagine hipcamp has to offer - kind property owners & unique individuals who care about their guests while also allowing them to have their own experience. If I’m ever near Mendocino I will gladly make the trip inland to stay at his property again."

Had an unforgettable weekend on Cosmo's amazing property. Site 3 looked great and definitely had a view, but the larger group site was free so he offered us an upgrade - 4 fenced in acres of forest and field all to ourselves. Cosmo was incredibly friendly and generous, we had all the firewood we could want, and even a flush toilet (!!) in this super secluded site. Our dog literally would not get in the car to leave. We will definitely be back (and booking site 4 intentionally)!
What a beautiful place and an amazing host! We celebrated my birthday here with a group of 15, and Cosmo went above and beyond to make it special. He even upgraded us to a larger campsite, which was perfect for the occasion. The party site itself is magical—you really feel like you have your own private land in the forest, full of funky and fun touches to explore. The DJ booth was a highlight and made our celebration unforgettable. Thank you, Cosmo, for the incredible hospitality and great recommendations!
Cosmos was GREAT!!
Right off the bat cosmo took us in with open arms and nothing but good vibes.
The views are amazing. He kept us up to date on anything we needed which was great. Our group loved our campsite and we had an amazing trip. We will definitely be back!!!
Had a great time at Cosmo's. The cabin was well furnished for something advertised as "rustic" -- there's even a wood stove inside! The land is beautiful, the hospitality fantastic; looking forward to returning!
Amazing stay!
The site is beautiful, it has stunning views and is very private, definitely will come back.
Cosmo is a great host!, super helpful and friendly. He showed us around the property and all the cool places to visit. We had a small issue with our car battery and he helped us out immediately!
Will come back soon!
