✨ The Secret Gardens ✨ Once upon a time, hidden just beyond the whispers of the ocean breeze, there was a secret place where roses stretched toward the sky, dahlias painted the land with color, and lavender cascaded like purple waterfalls. No one quite knew how to find it—until they stumbled upon it. Here, hearts opened with ease, carried by birdsong, the sway of ancient oaks, the fragrance of woodsmoke, and the laughter that seemed to live in the very air. The Secret Gardens unfurls across 11 acres of enchanted redwoods and noble oaks, where each campsite bears a name drawn straight from the pages of Alice in Wonderland. Guests often tell us: “One night is never enough.” And indeed, when you step out of your car, words and pictures fail—there is only the Wow. In true secret-garden spirit, we share just enough glimpses to spark curiosity. The real magic is revealed only when you arrive. Just one mile from Seascape Beach and a short stroll to Seascape Village—with its quaint cafés, market, spa, and more—our haven balances wild wonder with simple comforts. 🌿 The Realms of the Secret Gardens 🌲 Tulgey Woods Nestled beneath towering redwoods, this woodland hosts RV and tent sites, along with Dodo’s Glamp and the Secret Wagon. Here you’ll find showers, bathrooms, a communal kitchen, a campfire circle, and outdoor dining spaces. It’s perfect for families, car campers, and adventurers with roomy tents. ♟️ Chessboard Land Where play and comfort intertwine: cabins, a communal lounge, a sprawling kitchen, living-wall showers, cozy firepits, and even a projector screen for starlit cinema nights. This is the social heart of the gardens. 🐇 Rabbit Holes (open late spring through summer) Two primitive hideaways—Tweedledee and Tweedledum—await in the wilder reaches of the land. Here, no cars intrude; instead, we whisk your belongings by ATV to these tucked-away forest nooks. 🌸 Private Group Groves Three secluded enclaves designed for gatherings, each with its own bathroom, shower, grill, and sink: • Cheshire Grove • The Horseshoe • Wonderland ⸻ 🌟 What Awaits You • Cozy cabins, Dodo’s Glamp, and the Secret Wagon—complete with bedding, heaters, and access to Chessboard Land’s wonders. • Communal spaces alive with warmth: kitchen, fire pits and trail

I can see why everyone describes the camp as magical- it really is. So much love, thought and creativity has been poured into it. It was beautiful, interesting and incredibly well appointed. Lots of toilets and the best outdoor kitchen I have ever seen! Yeyen and Farbod are lovely people too. Very welcoming and accommodating. Hopefully we can visit again soon :)

Boat House Cabin
Mother Nature dumped buckets on us the entire time, BUT this spot was built for it! Boathouse was our cozy sanctuary, super comfortable bed, plenty of blankets, and has great lounge space. The covered firepit area and couch space saved us from soaking, and the kitchen had plenty of covered space for cooking. Bathrooms and showers were clean and worked perfectly!! Only bummer: pizza oven was out of order. Way too rainy to explore the rest of the property, and hikes but I'd come back when the sun decides to show up :)

Small/Medium RV @ TulgeyWood
Farbod and Yenyen's place is a gem! It has all the amenities that you'll need - whether you're pitching a tent, driving an RV, or staying in one of their charming cottages. * Tent sites in Tugley Woods - each site is well maintained and each provides its own picnic table and shades from the trees. Like what others say, it is close to the street so you will hear the cars go by. During the busy season, this area also has its own restrooms and outdoor kitchen facilities *Main kitchen / living room / fire place area - this is a beautiful area for everyone to hang out and enjoy the facilities, whether you're cooking up your best camp meal or just enjoying a sip of coffee in the seating areas, there is something for everyone. * Rest of the secret garden - it's to be experienced in person b/c every corner has a little surprise since Farbod and Yenyen have put their heart and soul into making this place magical. I encourage everyone who's looking for something fun and magical to check it out!

You can’t put into words or pictures how wonderful this place is. It’s so amazing!!! If you book anywhere else, it’s a mistake. The property was so enchanting!! We had a surprise group camp trip here for my husbands 30th birthday & everyone (all very experienced campers) left saying it was the best campsite of their life. & we are already planning our return trip! So much effort and love and detail put into every inch of this absolutely stunning property. The owners came down and were so kind and easy going. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Epic in every way! The Secret Enchanted Garden is hands-down the best campground retreat I’ve ever visited. Every detail from the lush, magical setting to the peaceful atmosphere feels like stepping into another world. You can tell the hosts have poured their heart into making this place special. It’s beautiful, serene, and truly one of a kind. Deserves every single star of a five-star review. I can’t wait to come back!

🪶 Eaglet’s Perch @ Tulgey Woods
The hosts were awesome. Yeyen met us the day we checked in around 5p. We were a bit late coming in since we traveled from San Diego, but Yeyen was super friendly and accommodating. Her husband was super cool and told us about the property and made us comfortable and welcomed. The camp site we reserved was next to the communal kitchen and bathroom which made our stay even better. The other camp sites we saw felt very whimsical and fun, sobwe'll definitely reserve one of those spots bext time. In addition to a fridge, sink, large table, and bbq grill, they even had a flat top grill! I didn't have to use my pan and kitchen utensils. The camp site, bathrooms, and kitchen was clean and since it was a private property, we felt safe. Loved this place and will definitely visit again. Both Hosts even met us in the morning of check out to see us off and wish us safe travels. Love them!

🦜 Lory's Table @ Tulgey Woods
The views/property was beautiful and the efficient campsite was set up with power, a table with two chairs, fire pit and wood chip base. The host was kind enough to bring us a battery powered light as well. Neighbors on both sides were quiet and respectful. Bathrooms and showers were plenty and a short walk away. No words for how much care and love have been poured into this property. It’s 11 acres of pure magic in every nook and cranny. There was an event being held there during our stay which we were kindly invited to and did not cause much disturbance. I wish we could have explored more, but the evening daylight is pretty limited now given the time of year. Would definitely return!

BEST HIPCAMP IVE EVER BEEN TO
Boat House Cabin
I’ve stayed at plenty of campgrounds, but I’ve never seen one so beautifully kept. It’s immediately obvious how much love and care goes into this place. This is glamping at its finest — the communal area alone is worth the trip. There’s a massive, fully equipped kitchen, multiple firepits perfect for evening hangs, and even a big screen projector for cozy movie nights under the stars. What truly sets The Secret Gardens apart, though, are the hosts — Farbod and Yeyen. I’ve never met more hospitable, generous, and genuinely kind hosts in my life. They made the entire stay unforgettable with their warmth and thoughtfulness. If you’re looking for a magical, comfortable, and welcoming retreat in nature, this is the spot. I couldn’t recommend it more highly. 🌲✨

There is so much love poured into the spaces at the secret garden. It is a wonderful place for family and friends to gather and for new friends to be made. We loved the outdoor kitchen, the fire pit, the gardens and all the cool areas to hangout and enjoy.
