Creekside Campground

Grassy meadow across from Cosmic Cafe, below the Bunkhouse. THis is a flat grassy meadow that is available for tent camping or RV parking (dry camping only, NO generators) when we do not have weddings booked. Typically it is available Sunday thru Friday morning. During weddings and on the weekends it is used for parking for our weddings.

Glamp Camp

This is at the landing above Moonrise Meadow, up past the outdoor showers. This is a flat dirt space where we will have numerous bell tents that will have rugs, beds, bedding, etc. Basically set up like a bedroom in the forest. The tents will be in a circle facing the center to create a communal vibe. There will be a firepit (wood or gas depending on the season until fire season shuts us down) in the middle and we are going to work to create a camp kitchen as well. The Takilma Trail runs through here as well. The Sensei’s Roost is right above it and the Dragon’s Lair is above that. There will be at least 2 tents this year - 13 ft Belle Tent and 16 ft Lotus Belle. I’m hoping to add at least one more tent this year and have 5 next year.

The showers and outhouse are right down the hill. There will be parking nearby. There is power and water but it is not filtered. Filtered water is just down the hill.

Nomanlands

This is a women only nomad campground reserved for women who are travelling and living in their small trailer, van or car. This is designed as a safe place for women to camp and “live” temporarily without fear of random people in the forest. The women here will be able to apply to do a work exchange for half of their rent if they stay longer than a week or two.

Fairlands Campground

This is a tent camping campground tucked in the forest behind the Cedar House. There is an outhouse on the edge of the campground and they will use the outdoor showers a five minute walk away. There is currently no water source but we plan to put a water tank there withe drinking water. We also plan to build a simple camp kitchen area. Currently no fires are allowed. This is tent camping only with one spot for a rooftop tent and possibly one van camping spot.

Ranch Camp

This is the meadow located between the Bunkhouse and the Cowgirl Cabin. There are three horseshoe pits and tetherball and room for games. If you rent the ranch, then you can put campers up here. Or you can book the Bunkhouse and Cabin and also add on camping. But this is not an independent camping spot for random campers. There is one 50amp hookup for a RV near the parking lot and room for other RV’s to dry camp in the parking lot only, NOT in the meadow. Because this campground is tied into the Bunkhouse, they can use the showers and toilets in the Bunkhouse (4) or the outdoor showers.

  • WHAT A GREAT PLACE FOR A BIG FAMILY

    Everything was kid friendly and practical for a bunch of kids. The kitchen is fully stocked, the bathrooms have everything you might need. There are sound machines, earplugs, a small Bluetooth speaker for a dance party and everything you need to have a fun family get together.

    It’s a bit of a drive from the Redwoods and the Ocean. You really could spend all of your time at this home. There is plenty of space for a baseball game, and all the included outside games that are provided. It is the best supplied and most practical place I have rented for a large family getaway. We all loved it and had a great time.

  • ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES

    Beth put a lot of thought and heart into making the cabin cosy and welcoming. It has everything you need, and more, all in perfect order and spotless clean. My teenage girls absolutely loved the stay! We wished we could stay longer!

    - Alexey

  • BETH WAS AN EXCELLENT HOST

    She went above and beyond to make our entire family feel welcome. We had a family reunion, so pretty much all cabins and beds were occupied. Each cabin was thoughtfully decorated and had all the conveniences of home. This is truly a magical place with a very beautiful setting. Beth and Brian were very attentive and on hand for any questions or concerns.

    - Debbie

  • WHAT A COOL SPOT!

    Great for a large group. Stayed here the night before we went to our wedding venue with a bunch of our bridesmaids/groomsmen/parents. It felt kind of like a hostel which was super fun. Loved that there were several shower rooms and a couple powder rooms separated from the toilets! Overall awesome space.

    - Amy

  • A LOVELY, PEACEFUL PLACE TO STAY

    As a jumping off point to explore the local flora and fauna. Thanks for all the homey touches. The Cowgirl Cabin had everything we needed to have dinner in on the deck. Highly recommend!
