Private Group, Family Camp Or Solo!
This campsite was serene and beautiful! You did need 4WD to park up by the site otherwise you could park right down the hill from the site, very short walk. There were LOTS of mosquitoes when my group went (over 4th of July during a heatwave) so definitely bring lots of bug spray. The host was very sweet and accommodating.

We unfortunately had a poor experience at this site, as the owner's off-leash dogs came over to our campsite on the first morning and attacked our dog, and knocked our young daughter out of the camp chair she was eating in. We had to leave the site immediately after. The host was very apologetic and helpful in response to the incident, which we very much appreciated. However, I wouldn't recommend this campsite to anyone traveling with pets or young children.

Peaceful, rustic stay (10/10)!
My friend and I absolutely loved tent camping on Sunny’s beautiful land. She provided clear instructions for finding the site, and was there to greet us with a huge smile when we arrived. The property was stunning - expansive views of the verdant mountains (and sparkling night sky), an abundant garden, and a chicken & duck coop (from which Sunny offered us fresh eggs!). It is also very conveniently located close to tons of local beauty, from ancient redwoods, rivers, and pigmy forests to the iconic coastal town of Mendocino, where we enjoyed one of the best breakfast feasts of our lives! To be clear - this is definitely a rustic stay, so do not expect clamping conditions (think bugs, pit toilet, etc). But for anyone looking for a sweet, peaceful nature retreat - I cannot recommend this place enough!

Ridge Top View Site #1
sweet Ridge top campsite convenient to the coast and Orr Hot Springs. Three of us stayed here for four nights in a four person and two person tent. There was just enough flat space for both of these tents and an adorable kitchen area with a shady spot under the redwoods for our cooler, which remained cool even in hundred degree heat. fabulous view, especially early in the morning with the fog coming in and amazing stars at night. Sunny was a great host and shared a good stargazing app with us and also had Wi-Fi up close to the house. So believe it or not one of us actually got work done. her two dogs are super sweet, echo and Chloe, and kept us company when we wanted it but left us alone if desired. On our last night there were two other camping groups, but we hardly noticed because the sites are so disbursed. All sites are very private even the one that we had close to the house. we will definitely camp here again!

Sunny was such a sweet and welcoming host! Her land is lovely, her boys were super friendly and my kids had the time of their lives chasing chickens and being wild in nature with her kids. We loved meeting her whole crew, which includes the biggest sweetest dogs who made us feel safe and loved. We all had such a fun time and look forward to returning!

We had such an enjoyable time at Sunny’s!
We arrived later than intended and it was getting dark. Sunny was so accommodating and helpful in making sure we got in safely and soundly!! I’d recommend arriving in the daylight as the roads can be windy and the service is spotty on the drive. However even without service we had all the info we need to get there!
The site was perfectly tucked away and private but offered enough to be comfortable including an outdoor toilet and a hose with spring water!! The campsite was large and with Sunny’s help we got a perfect little fire ring set up. Sunny had two dogs on the property and some chickens and ducks and so many fun things! We have a tiny little adventurous dog and she got along so well with Chloe & Echo!
Sunny had some great recommendations on places to see up in Mendocino or the best wineries to check out. We also just loved getting to see everything she’s put together on her land and to be a part of the off grid living!!!
