The Oak Granary is absolutely stunning. The photos don't do it justice. We had a great time camping and celebrating our birthday in the barn. Highly recommend!

The swimming holes in this area are hard to beat. Sarah was really nice and helpful.

The Hill House was wonderful -- spacious and comfortable, with idyllic views all around! A perfect place to get away, can't recommend enough.

Nice solar showers! Dishwasheing station is useful. No picnic tables though!

Lovely and quiet! We recommend putting your tent up on one of the hillsides surrounding the mown meadow, for more of a view and more privacy. It was the middle of the Labor Day heatwave when we were there so it was unusually sweltering. Because of that we didn't sit around the campsite too much--tried to get up and out quickly to the river/coast each of our three days. We loved the very close access to the Eel and Russian Rivers and were also glad we made the longer trek to Mendocino one day for some beach time and enjoying a couple of air-conditioned hours eating and drinking indoors. On a cooler weekend, we likely would have spent more time at camp, relaxing and cooking. Fires were not permitted, which is more than understandable, but that also made it less attractive to just hang out. Also, think about bringing camp chairs or blankets you don't mind getting burrs on, since the site doesn't have chairs or logs or anything like that. The composting toilets were pretty rad and the solar showers were wonderful; I even loved the setup for washing dishes. The hosts were also helpful and lovely. Great place!

Gorgeous spot, great trail, very peaceful. The lack of shade at the campground was nicely compensated by the proximity of the Eel river and its numerous refreshing swimming spots.

Rolling Oak Woodlands & EcoFarm
Beautiful site. Stayed during Labor day weekend in blistering heat - fortunately Eel river is barely 15 minutes away by car. Very nice hosts, beautiful hills, and great showers!

Beautiful landscape. Hot outdoor shower heated by solar panel is nice. It will be hot during the day if you go there in summer time, though.

Awesome experience! The solar showers worked great and the host took the time to explain the site and the rules to us, she provided recommendations too which was great. Also, there's an awesome pond to swim in! I definitely recommend staying here, lots of things to do in the area.

Very beautiful property and good proximity to the Eel River. We hiked up the hills by the campsite Saturday evening for a nice view. Eel River is a great place to swim. However there was an event going on so there were a lot of cars parked near the campground, which gave it more of a parking lot feel at times. But the solar shower was very nice and warm and again the views were great.

Super magical spot! The stars at night were incredible! We were able to roll out our sleeping gear anywhere we wanted and watch the stars for hours. A pond to swim in, blackberries to pick, solar showers, rivers nearby, access to 300 acres of hills to explore; what more could you want? Super nice and chill people. Definitely worth it.

I would 100% recommend Rolling Oak Woodlands & EcoFarm! To say this place is incredible is an understatement. My criteria for a camping spot was very low when I booked a night with them. It was 4th of July and I was just looking for something available for the night. I can't tell you how surprised we were when we arrived at Rolling Oak. I've camped all over California but this place is one of the most beautiful spots I've ever spent the night. Golden rolling hills, stunning old oak trees, and kind hosts. I genuinely can not wait until I can get back there. One night was simply not enough! Thank you Sarah and Rolling Oak crew!

Rolling Oak Woodlands & EcoFarm
The Oak Granary was perfect for our large group, half of whom are camping gurus and half of whom had quite literally never slept in a tent. Sara and the Granary residents were incredibly thoughtful - they sent a comprehensive list of nearby attractions, left shower essentials, and provided us hand drawn maps of the local area. The outdoor showers were amazing and our group loved the EcoFarm tour. We really appreciated all that the residents did to make us feel at home. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful stay at the Oak Granary. Sara was so welcoming and gave us a lay of the land. Beautiful short drive to both the Russian and Eel Rivers.

Such a wonderful spot, right near the Eel river and the Russian River. A very peaceful spot with a lots of land to explore. Sara is the best host, and makes you feel very welcome. The shower is heavenly and the bathrooms are really clean and nice! There are a few different places to pitch your tent, so you can choose to be closer to the communal spaces, or have a more private experience in a little nook of your own. I would totally recommend staying there. :-)!

What a magical spot! The valley itself is charming and pastoral, the campground well appointed with solar hot water showers and a large shade structure, and the pond was an amazing and refreshing respite from a warm day. Lots of great excursions nearby; river swimming holes, wineries, and Ukiah with all sorts of interesting offerings. The land itself was spectacular, towering oaks and rolling golden grass. Highly recommend!

We loved staying at the Oak Granary property. It was unseasonably hot when we arrived, so we were very happy for the shade of the open tent they have set up in the camping area. We took a drive down to the river, but easily could have stayed nearby to go for a swim in the pond. In the morning, Cliff was nice enough to take us on a walk up the hill where we learned more about the land and its history and found a gorgeous view of the valley. Afterwards, I tried out the solar outdoor shower, which was fantastic and, honestly, possibly fancier than my own shower. :)

We had the absolute pleasure of joining the members of the Oak Granary community for a meal at the Farm House. We feasted on delicious acorn pancakes with yogurt and chutney, roasted asparagus, and beet and carrot salad with goat cheese and walnuts. It was a total dream to sit out on the back patio and watch the hillside light up as the sun sank over the valley. After dinner, we walked through the garden and up the hillside to check out the barn and visit the chickens!

Hill House With Views
We had a fantastic time at the Oak Granary property! When we arrived, Cliff greeted us at the main house and garden and showed us up to the Hill House. The house was more spacious than we'd expected, with plenty of room to sleep, cook, and relax in the living room.
It was a very hot day and so we drove out to the river to cool down. Later, we enjoyed a beautiful farm fresh meal on the patio with Cliff and Lindsay and some of the other members of the community. It was great to have the opportunity to chat with them about the land and the programs they offer. After, we wandered in the garden and up to the barn.
In the morning, a gorgeous layer of fog sat in the valley below the house. Coyotes called from the hillside as I came out to take some photos of the sunrise. Cliff took us out for a walk on the property, where we visited the chickens, learned about the native plants, and came across a beautiful pond and views of the valley.
Our whole time was beautiful, relaxing, and educational! I would love to visit again!
