Northern California Hosts Offering Fire Evacuees a Free Place to Stay

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families affected by the fire in Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino Counties. If you or anyone you know needs a place to stay, the Hipcamp hosts below are offering to host displaced residents (and their animals), free of charge.

If you have been displaced by fire in Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino, please use this code HIPCAMPLOVESNORCAL to stay at any of the Hipcamps below for free. We’re so thankful to these hosts, who are stepping up in a time of great need to support their community.
