Meadow Farm is a quiet and creative sanctuary surrounded by the forest. The ocean breezes freshen the air and the pulse of the planet is heard as the surf sounds travel to put us to rest at night.. We are a place for people experimenting with the new old ways to live with low impact and conservation of our precious resources. We offer affordable accommodations, organic gardening, and education on plants and living simply. We welcome your interest in veganic garden and diet, orchards, and forest trails. Our organic vegetables and fruit may be available if you wish to bring some of our farm to your table. We can offer you a quiet and peaceful place without social pressures if you wish to "decompress" from city life, jobs or any stressful times. Or come to the communal fire near the bathhouse for sharing some time with family and the few other campers that may be there. Bringing your own wood is welcome. The coastal bike and hike trails are many. From South of Ft Bragg to the Sand Dunes near Ward Ave. you can travel over 7 miles one way and go down to quiet little beach coves along the way. Meadow Farm is a nonprofit 501c3 with goals of coastal food security, disaster preparation and sheltering, carbon sequestering and forest restoration. We offer native plant tours on or off site with advance notice. We like our dog companions! Two McNab collies, Moxie and Shama live here and may bark at first...still very friendly and social with people and other dogs.. There are several dog friendly off-leash areas such as, Noyo North Harbor Beach, Seaside Beach and dog parks in both Ft Bragg and Mendocino. Our farm is dog friendly tho we wish pets to be kept close, must be neutered and friendly to other dogs and people. Please be sure to bury or bag the waste. Speaking of waste, Meadow Farm strives to reduce waste by avoiding plastic as much as possible, recycling what we can and composting our veggie scraps. Please bring your own waste receptacles and take them along when you go. We take ours to the Caspar Transfer Station which is open Saturday through Wednesday... the location and hours can be found online. Our water is from a deep well and we periodically test it for bacteria. It is cold and delicious. Our irrigation pipes that have spigots and hoses at each camp are safe for drinking, cooking and cleaning Our solar pump moves water into storage tanks that provide all the water to the farm. It is very important that the water valves on your camp spigot is turned off (gently please) to avoid losing 2500 gallons of water in a short time. If you see a leak or break in a line please contact us immediately. There are also water shut offs for the camps on the west side of the Farm House if you are unable to reach us right away.. When doing dishes we request that you use the strainer to catch food particles from the dish water and toss them in your trash or compost bucket. If you have vegetable waste let us know and we can pick them up for adding to the worm bins or composting piles. We make worm "tea" fertilizer and rich soil from these offerings. No animal products or oil please... a few egg shells are okay. We do have the usual wildlife though we haven't had problems with them. Ravens will raid your camp if food or bags are left out while you are away. From dusk to dawn keep children and pets close. We coexist well here with the critters...and glad to have them. Wishing you a very peaceful and soul refreshing stay at Meadow Farm. Come and allow this natural setting to heal and restore your sense of well-being.

Expect a beautiful 30 minute drive on gravel roads through mature Redwood forest from the village of Mendocino. The property is also accessible from Fort Bragg via HWY 20 and road 408/Little Lake Rd. The Aloha Cabin is a beautiful one room timber frame cabin located on a ridge top in the Redwood forest. Upon entering the gate at Old Mill Farm the Aloha Cabin is the first building you see as you come out of the thick forest and into the mixed meadow/forest ridge top of the property. Old Mill Farm is a 320 ranch in the middle of Mendocino county's 50,000 acre JDSF (Jackson State Demonstration Forest.) The Aloha sits by itself about a 1/2 mile from the rest of the ranch buildings and like the entire ranch is completely off-grid. Electricity is provided by a solar photovoltaic system and battery back up. All water is pumped with solar power and gravity fed throughout the property. You will be imbedded in the outdoors with ample opportunity to commune with the forest and the wildlife that live there. The Aloha has a kitchen equipped for cooking with refrigerator, range and oven. There is a bathroom with a flush toilet and a private outdoor shower. We provide linens and bedding for the full size bed and towels for 4 guests. There is also a sleeping loft (with no bedding included but can be added as an extra.) Please bring your own pads and sleeping bags to use the loft or pitch a tent in the front yard. The front yard is fenced and has a fire pit. Always be fire conscious - never burn outside of the fire pit and extinguish all fires before leaving or bed. You are free to relax in the natural beauty of this place, meditate while walking our earthen labyrinth or hike around the property along the ridge and on the logging roads that descend on each side. Please respect all signs and private residents. JDSF has extensive hiking and mountain bike trails accessible right from the cabin or a short drive away. The breathtaking Mendocino Coast offers an abundance of activities from the forest to the ocean headlands and beaches.

Our property is just minutes from Mendocino's beaches, parks and sweet town, yet private and quiet as it is surrounded by 50,000 acre state forest with world class hiking and biking trails directly accessed from our place. Around the giant redwoods and meadows we have sprinkled in the most amazing little cabins, camp sites and deluxe bath house. We have a great outdoor camp kitchen available for your use. The redwood tree shower must not be missed! This is a very special experience for us to share with you. We are a family of campers. We agree, there's nothing better than a rest in a hammock following a hike or a beach day and a night under the stars without the constant dinging of cell and internet! Guests love staying here: "Such a lovely getaway! Our family of four and little dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heartwood. The cabins are great, with comfortable (warm) beds, very clean and cozy. It’s well worth the visit even in the winter! Really appreciated being outdoors surrounded by Redwoods, hiking the trails around the property, the modern bathrooms with hot showers, and the indoor sitting area to make coffee in the mornings. Our stay was relaxing, memorable and special!" Please remember that we are in the woods and there is wildlife around. We don't want them to get into your food items, and recommend that you place food items in the enclosed common room or in the critter proof cupboards in the outdoor kitchen.

Wild huckleberries and rhododendrons are abundant among the redwoods and fir. A beautiful spot to spend the night!

The Cozy Cabin is tiny and adorable - one of those rare properties that is actually exactly as described in its listing. We brought our dog and had a lovely stay. The bed is very comfortable, the cabin is well insulated, well spaced from other dwellings and campsites, the land around it is beautiful, and there are lots of stars to see on a clear night. Only noteworthy flaw was upon arrival: it was pretty tough to find our way in the dark. Arrive in the daylight if possible until they add clearer night-reflective signage and/or a detailed campsite map!

We had a wonderful stay at Aloha Cabin! The property is secluded, peaceful, and perfect for unplugging. We loved exploring the abundant land, and the night sky was incredible—we could even see the Milky Way. The yard and fire pit made evenings extra cozy, and our pets enjoyed it just as much as we did. Inside, the wood stove kept us warm and comfortable, and everything worked perfectly. The cabin has a charming, eco-friendly feel with cool history and plenty of books to browse. It was exactly the cozy getaway we were hoping for. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Had the most amazing time with our friends! We had a group of around 11 people and we booked two campsites so we had enough parking and space and were so surprised by all the great amenities! There was a tent to protect us from the rain set up already when we arrived and they provided wood and other fun games :) the bathroom was also beautifully built and was super clean and the shower even had warm water!! Absolutely loved this place and can’t recommend it enough! The drive to and from Mendocino was also easy and simple. The hike on site was also stunning and the waterfall was a fun visit. definitely will be coming back!!

There were also 2 bathrooms, 2 indoor showers, and a sink for washing dishes, which were lovely and helpful as well. It felt so luxurious!

Usually camp sites are small and rarely provide plenty of room. We rented #7 for 8 people. Honestly, we could have set up 20 tents it is very large. It is flat, with two large tables, 1 pitfire, running water, and two modern restrooms with a sink, lovely, They offer free wood logs at the entrance of the camp. You are right there, walking distance to the beach on a trail, or you can visit the pine forest. The no-pets policy should be revisited; that is the reason I almost cancel. Restroom code is a good idea, but a surprise when you have no cell reception, it can be a challenge. We ultimately got our access code. Lastly, no one came to bug us, which made us feel comfortable. good quality campsite a few miles from Mendocino, beach etc

The campground is clean and grassy, and quiet this time of year. The main draw for us is that the location is central to trailheads that lead right from the campground. You want to walk to rugged beaches Mendocino is known for? Less than a mile. You want to go to the fabulous Ecological Staircase, a self-guided walk in geological time. Less than 3 miles. It is not far from other state parks/beaches, and not far from Fort Bragg, now a tourist destination having non-chain restaurants of all kinds.

Meadow Farm is a quiet and creative sanctuary surrounded by the forest. The ocean breezes freshen the air and the pulse of the planet is heard as the surf sounds travel to put us to rest at night.. We are a place for people experimenting with the new old ways to live with low impact and conservation of our precious resources. We offer affordable accommodations, organic gardening, and education on plants and living simply. We welcome your interest in veganic garden and diet, orchards, and forest trails. Our organic vegetables and fruit may be available if you wish to bring some of our farm to your table. We can offer you a quiet and peaceful place without social pressures if you wish to "decompress" from city life, jobs or any stressful times. Or come to the communal fire near the bathhouse for sharing some time with family and the few other campers that may be there. Bringing your own wood is welcome. The coastal bike and hike trails are many. From South of Ft Bragg to the Sand Dunes near Ward Ave. you can travel over 7 miles one way and go down to quiet little beach coves along the way. Meadow Farm is a nonprofit 501c3 with goals of coastal food security, disaster preparation and sheltering, carbon sequestering and forest restoration. We offer native plant tours on or off site with advance notice. We like our dog companions! Two McNab collies, Moxie and Shama live here and may bark at first...still very friendly and social with people and other dogs.. There are several dog friendly off-leash areas such as, Noyo North Harbor Beach, Seaside Beach and dog parks in both Ft Bragg and Mendocino. Our farm is dog friendly tho we wish pets to be kept close, must be neutered and friendly to other dogs and people. Please be sure to bury or bag the waste. Speaking of waste, Meadow Farm strives to reduce waste by avoiding plastic as much as possible, recycling what we can and composting our veggie scraps. Please bring your own waste receptacles and take them along when you go. We take ours to the Caspar Transfer Station which is open Saturday through Wednesday... the location and hours can be found online. Our water is from a deep well and we periodically test it for bacteria. It is cold and delicious. Our irrigation pipes that have spigots and hoses at each camp are safe for drinking, cooking and cleaning Our solar pump moves water into storage tanks that provide all the water to the farm. It is very important that the water valves on your camp spigot is turned off (gently please) to avoid losing 2500 gallons of water in a short time. If you see a leak or break in a line please contact us immediately. There are also water shut offs for the camps on the west side of the Farm House if you are unable to reach us right away.. When doing dishes we request that you use the strainer to catch food particles from the dish water and toss them in your trash or compost bucket. If you have vegetable waste let us know and we can pick them up for adding to the worm bins or composting piles. We make worm "tea" fertilizer and rich soil from these offerings. No animal products or oil please... a few egg shells are okay. We do have the usual wildlife though we haven't had problems with them. Ravens will raid your camp if food or bags are left out while you are away. From dusk to dawn keep children and pets close. We coexist well here with the critters...and glad to have them. Wishing you a very peaceful and soul refreshing stay at Meadow Farm. Come and allow this natural setting to heal and restore your sense of well-being.

The best camping in Westport-Union Landing State Beach, CA guide

Overview

About

If you’re driving along the northern California coastline, you should definitely stop at this unfortunately often-forgotten state park. Westport-Union Landing offers a spectacular view from the cliff sides towering over the ocean, and you can hang out on the 3 mile stretch of beaches while the waves crash before you and the sun sinks dances on water. Best of all, it’s rarely crowded, so you’ll have the place to yourself!

Notable campgrounds

  • Blufftop Camping: Perched atop the coastal bluffs, these sites offer breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.
  • Family Campsites: Ideal for groups, these sites provide ample space and proximity to beach access.
  • Primitive Camping: For a more secluded experience, these sites offer a rustic stay amid the coastal beauty.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Arrive early to secure a spot, as camping is on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Bring cash or checks, as these are the only accepted forms of payment for camping fees.
  • Prepare for a rustic experience, as the campsites are primitive with no showers available.
  • Explore nearby camping options in case the park's campsites are full.

When to go

The best time to visit Westport-Union Landing State Beach is during the warmer months when the weather is more predictable. However, the climate can be changeable, so layered clothing is always recommended. Off-season visits might offer solitude but come prepared for cooler temperatures and the possibility of inclement weather.

Report from your Shirtless host Steve for Hipcamp I drove by West Port about a week ago the camp is still awesome looking but l did not see all the campers that l thought would be there. For all you campers in the Bay Area come to WestPort it is one of the best sites on the Hwy 1 to camp at. Long Beach you camp over looking the coast line so don't just drive by!! Stop and enjoy the sun set and you will see the stars and the moon light dance off the waves. This is your Shirtless host telling you that camping is fun but Family camping is a lot more fun. Happy Trails!! See you at westport- Union Landing State Beach l hope some day soon!!

Really exposed and sites are right next to each other without any privacy but it's still a beautiful location. (As noted by Rob, it's pretty much a parking lot on a bluff.) That said, the coast line is gorgeous and it's fantastic mid-week. We camped here on a Wednesday and there was only one other site taken so it was really peaceful. Felt like we had the beach all to ourselves. Amazing spot for watching the sunset and star gazing.

Report from your shirtless host The Westport S.P. has the honor to host a 1952 flexible bus. This bus was a Yosemite N.P. bus from 1952 to 70 they bought it in 1972. The name of the bus is ( Here-N-There). Look for it on the coast line. If you like camping like I do, start looking and enjoying the classic Once there gone there gone. I know that newer RVs. are nice but the old classics RVs. are the best and we need them. If you are true camper and have a love for the pasted you know most of this classic cost more to restore then a new one. To love a classic RV. Is to love camping so thank you Dean & Sharon Edell for letting us know about and seeing yours. Your shirtless host Steve Shirtlesshost.blogspot.com

It is located @ or near Schooner Gulch State Park. This is a beach you can only get to @ low tide. The walk down to the beach is over slippery rocks and should be traveled with great care. Just getting down to the beach can be tricky. The rock were created 100 million years ago so they say. The bowling ball are rocks ranging from small to large some looked 3 feet in size and larger. This is one of the off the trial type of place you should go too. It is ancient and unforgettable. Remember low tide only . This for Jayna @ Hipcamp Your shirtless host Stevi

The sad part is that the 40 family campsites are going to be setting empty, what a waste. The wildlife and vegetation alone makes this a hikers dream. The camp host has been working hard to get it ready-but for what! Call and let them how you fell @ 707 937 5804 Your shirtless host St

Report from your shirtless host @ Westport State Beach 2am now @Westport the stars are out and it is 55° now and Iam enjoying the sound that the crashing waves are making. The heavy wave action is like music to my ears. It is such a relaxing atmosphere to be out side at Westport. When conditions are right and the stars are out ( Bingo ) life is good, time to go camping. As I look out over the coast the waves seem to be dancing in the star light. If you need to relax stop by Westport and camp for the weekend. At sunset build a fire in the fire pit and enjoy the sunset then stay up and enjoy the starie sky. Yes Iam shirtless right now. Your shirtless host. Steve

Report from your shirtless host @ Westport State Beach As the RVers drive by I know that some of them are missing out on the Mendocino coast. All you RVers stop and enjoy the state parks in this area. Winters can be the best time to enjoy the State Parks along the Mendocino coast line. You got WPSB just north of Fort Bragg . MacKerricher,, Van Damma and Russian Gulch State Parks are all in the Mendocino-Fort Bragg area. If you are looking redwoods you have Hendy Woods & Navarro river redwoods State Parks. But if you are just out for a day trip then the Mendocino headland & Point Cabrillo light station S.H.P. is a must see. If out for a day or for the weekend you well enjoy every minute of your stay.

Report from your shirtless host @ Westport State Beach. March is coming upon us fast. I hope to see you all @ W.P.S.B.. Make sure you are planning on camping on one of the weekends that is having a whale festival. Mendocino is on Mar. 5th. an 6th. Little River is on 12th an 13th. And Fort Bragg is on 19th an 20th. Don't for get MacKerricher S.P. for the whale walk and tours. The whale festival is all all about the whale migration which is majestic by it self. But this is time to experience more.

Report from the shirtless host @ Westport State Beach. This week's report is for all you Beach combers. W.S.B. is the place to be . We are north of Fort Bragg and we have a pristine Sandy Beach to hike on. The ocean give us both crashing waves and gentle surf, sculpted rocks and abundance and a wids variety of wild life to view. When the tides and the ocean conditions are right the Pacific coast is breath taking. Stop in and see us at Westport State Beach . Your shirtless host Steve

Report from the shirtless host @ Westport State Beach. This is for all you bird watchers and whale watchers. This week we had both. At least 50 pelicans with 5 foot + wingspan was flying by @ eye level. As you are watching the pelicans go by. The whales are migrating by in the back ground. One of the fastest growing activities is birding ( bird watching ). Mac Kerricher State Park well have whale watching tours until the end of March. The migrating whales are migrating down from the Bering sea near Alaska. The whales are heading to warmer water off Baja California, Mexico. The newborn calves measuring 12 to 15 feet and are 1 to 1 1\2 tons. They are born in the laygoons off Baja California and Mexico. Then they start there long.

Report from your shirtless host @ Westport Union landing state Beach Not. Howard creek Iam Sadden Rob! Rob! Your review is less then what the park is. I know your review is from this Summer. I did not get to the park until Oct. 1st. I can tell you that the bath room are not falling apart. I clean the bath room 4 to 5 times a day and that is every day. The bluff are not I-deal for tent camping. But camp sites 96-97-98-99 and 100 plus 60 other camp site are I-deal for R.V. and tent camping. I take the camp site after each camper leaves. I walk the park every day and pick up any and all trash. Shirtless host

Howard Creek Campground
I've never heard this called "Howard Creek" campground so search for it by the beach name. Basically just parking lots on the bluff; toilets are falling apart. But the beach below is magnificent, and often windy. Not a great tenting site.

You should probably stay out of the water-- it’s chilly and the surf is quite rough
