Retreat to the redwoods, and relax to the sounds of birds and chipmunks and the babbling of a year round creek. Just 5 minutes from highway 1 on the gorgeous Mendocino coast and less than 10 minutes to Fort Bragg or the village of Mendocino. Enjoy 10 acres of Family, pet and horse friendly redwoods, Pygmy and transitional land, abundant with wildlife, huckleberries, redwoods, and sunshine. Find a tire swing in the trees, or bring your chairs to the creek and splash around in the cool water with the kids and pups. Toilet and hot shower available. WiFi , water, and electricity available in some areas and campfires allowed in fire pits. Nearby you’ll find countless miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, ancient redwoods and Pygmy forests, secluded beaches, gorgeous state parks, and quaint towns. Kayaking, SUP, fishing, surfing, whale watching, wine tasting and tours, shopping, dining, galleries, restaurants, breweries, and bars are all minutes away. Whether it’s just you and your dog, or the whole family and all the kids, we have the perfect hideaway for you to set up camp and make yourself at home.

Redwood Walk-In Tent Sites
Great site, wasn't sure it was legit at first. No trespassing sign on gate. Had to drive back to town for signal but was able to reach Heather. Got in late and couldn't figure out walk in site. But there was no one else camping so we found another spot.

DO NOT TRY TO ACCESS VIA PEARL DR. You have to enter via Simpson Ln, which makes it a bit further off the beaten track. Campsites are uneven, some have a picnic table but some are pretty raw or random. There is one toilet, sink, and shower stall. Not much in terms of signs or common areas, we happened to bump into someone who worked on the property who helped guide us around. On the other hand, the walk in tent sites are in an interesting forested area.

Very rustic and no water or power. But very quiet and peaceful.

Great hidden gem in the Mendocino area! It’s close enough where it’s easy to get to, but far enough away where you feel like you’re really out there. Camping on Heather’s property feels like you’re camping in a redwood grove. It was gorgeous and had everything we needed!

I highly recommend this campsite. First thing, the shower has HOT water! The bathroom was way cleaner than expected. This was a pleasant surprise. The campsites were spread out and gave us the right amount of privacy. There was an open sky near the bathroom that allowed you to see the sky full of stars, it was such a beautiful view. Check in was easy, just make sure you set up camp well before sunset. It was peaceful in the redwoods and close to town. 10/10

A place to stay in a pinch. I just wish the sites were clearly assigned and labeled as it was difficult to find the correct spot. The host was responsive though. A flushing toilet is nice but in a DIY building with exposed wires. The shower and toilet are in the same building so if you needed to go and someone was taking a shower, there’s a wait. Several old structures through out the area. Besides that, was able to spend the night with no other issues.
