Kitchen includes sinks, refrigerator, stove, toaster oven, toaster, blender, espresso machine, coffee grinder, dishes, utensils, plates, pans, cutting boards, etc. If there's something you need and can't find it, we'll bring it out from our kitchen in the house.

Around the property, there's plenty of cool forest shade, a park like lawn, and a sunny meadow. Find yourself a cozy spot on a sofa under the trees or in a hammock with a good book from our library. There's always a jigsaw puzzle out on one of the picnic tables by the pizza oven. We’ve got badminton and croquet, just ask. Enjoy looking at the stars through the telescope, just ask. Each campsite has a picnic table & benches. Outlets to CHARGE YOUR PHONE and DEVICES. Wifi in several places in town (1 mile). Fruit trees and extensive gardens dot the property. Feel free to pick a piece of fruit. We almost always have organic fresh eggs from the chickens, so just ask. We're in a wooded country neighborhood where lots of folks have dogs, so you might hear some barking and see some neighbors. Very occasionally we see a dog off leash. We ask that you keep your dogs on leash at all times, as we have cats and chickens and our neighbors have small children. Please respect our neighbors' privacy. We encourage you to enjoy the forest, but do be aware that there is poison oak. If you don't know what it looks like we can show you. Please arrive between Noon - 8pm.

Wonderful Experience

We had a wonderful experience at Lucky Penny. Hillary and AJ were wonderful hosts. The kitchen and all of the common spaces were awesome and our fellow travelers were all so friendly. We will definitely be going back!

A relaxing place to get away

We were so happy to be able to camp here again. The outdoor kitchen and hot showers really make camping a more enjoyable. We didn’t have to pack half of our camping gear because the kitchen has everything you need except your food. Our children loved playing with the toys in the shed, looking for eggs laid by the chickens, playing with kittens, and picking blackberries. We also enjoyed watching shooting stars on the stage and seeing the dear wander through. The compostable toilets are regularly serviced so they don’t smell. The host are very pleasant and have wonderful recommendations for local spots to swim or have a delicious meal.

Under the Madrone (Max 10 campers)

What a magical spot! This was very accessible from the highway and yet felt perfectly tucked away and remote. We stayed in "Under the Madrone" campsite had the whole space to purselves in a beautifully shaded forest area. The outdoor kitchen and showers were abouy a 5 min walk and made for a glamping like experience with everything we needed for some amazing meals. This is a family friendly campsite and only 25 min from amazing swimming holes and about a hour from Avenue of the Giants. Perfect weekend getaway. Hilary was super welcoming and helpful.

Magical Charn

Our family had a lovely time camping here. Hillary was an excellent communicator and a great host! It’s so quaint and charming and makes you feel like you have stumbled upon something magical. Please do yourself a favor and plan to shower in the outdoor shower and cook in the outdoor kitchen, both wonderful experiences. Our kids loved the Shed of Everthing—what a fun idea. We would recommend staying here.
