My aunt and uncle bought the property in 1947 from its first European settler, Paolo Gabrielli, who immigrated in early 1914 from northern Italy with slips of his grapevine in the lining of his coat. (The grapevine still grows over the back deck.) What can you expect? Quiet, beauty, birdsong, ocean roar, widely spaced campsites (only 5 on the 5 acres set aside for camping). Free firewood, local tips on travel and where to hike or what to visit. Or total solitude. Bring your (most non-cattle-chasing breeds) dogs if you wish (males must be neutered). Starlink internet. Walk to the beach of our wild ocean along a no-shoulder country road. We have no visible neighbors, no ambient light or sound. The air is clean and clear and the water is potable from an artesian spring on the property. No electricity at the sites and no generators allowed. (Charge your electronics at the farmhouse.) We offer homemade soup, cobbler, fresh bread, morning coffee as extras; you can order with the booking. The Victorian village of Ferndale is three miles east, as is a beautifully maintained 110-acre town wilderness with hiking trails called Russ Park. A 150-year-old cemetery slopes down a hillside & is filled with 19th century charm and history. Shops and restaurants welcome visitors. There are several bars/a wine bar/and a historic saloon that's as old boy as it was in 1890. A music venue in a restored 19th century church has amazing acoustics and attracts international talent as a top-notch venue (sessions are filmed for PBS) midway between Portland and San Francisco. So, it's a mix of town and country, village and farm, wilderness and bewilderedness. Safe, safe, safe, meaning: you can leave your belongings in your site and when you come back... they're still there :) We welcome the world.

TUCKED AWAY, by stream,ocean 1 mile

100% (116)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 21 ft
One mile to beach. Artesian spring water; pure clean air. No ambient noise or lights. No visible neighbors. This secluded, beautiful site borders the "new forest" (planted 15 years ago to reclaim overgrazed pasture land). It's along the creek (runoff from the artesian spring that provides our potable water).  Site has a firepit, free firewood, a picnic table (6 x 2.5), and a variety of camp chairs. Faces a wide expansive meadow.  Two bathrooms and double shower (hot water/flush toilets) are shared with three other sites. Ocean is an easy walk. Dogs can be off-leash (there, and here; we ask that all visiting dogs be nonthreatening and nonaggressive). Lots of hikes and wildlife; very few people. Breathe deeply. Be safe. Be pampered. Reset. Access to woods and upper meadows is on cleared trails. Many great hikes within a 5-mile radius. One mile away is the north Pacific ocean (wild and cold), which you can hear at night (no ambient noise or light).  No electricity on site.  No hookups; listing not suitable for large RVs. 2 dogs w breed approval welcome. Site is 250' from bathrooms and hot shower. Drive up to site.
