Blackberry Farm sits on the western side of Mount Tamalpais, tucked in the Gospel Flat area of Bolinas. The family farm and residence were established during the late 1970s on the site of the historic Peter’s Dairy Ranch. The original farmhouse dates back to the late 19th century and survived the great 1906 earthquake. Today, the 7-acre farm is being restored to sustainably support fruit orchards, cottage flower and kitchen gardens, honey bees, a boisterous flock of chickens, and naughty shetland sheep. Our self-serve farmstand attached to our barn has seasonal flowers, organic eggs, heirloom fruit, and local goods from the farm. Our property is the perfect rustic getaway for backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts. You’ll be surrounded by farm/ranch life: chickens clucking, roosters crowing, bees buzzing, and sheep bleating. We also have active nighttime wildlife: coyotes howling, raccoons foraging, owls hooting, etc. Bring earplugs if nature sounds are too much for you. We offer 4 walk-in tent sites that allow you to immerse yourself in nature. We welcome well-behaved pets ON LEASH that won’t harass the chickens, cats, sheep, other campers, or residents. Unruly pets and their campers will be asked to leave. No refund. Limit: 1 dog per site. Pitch your tent in a meadow shared by: Campsite 1 - left side of the meadow, closest to the common area and hot tub. Campsite 2 - middle of the meadow, closest to our fenced apiary and bee garden. Campsite 3 - right side of the meadow, near the orchard. (sites 1 and 3 are next to each other) Campsite 4 - front of the pasture, closest to the parking area (best for car/van campers wanting space to lounge near their parked vehicle.) Multiple sites may be booked for group camping. Sites 1 and 3 are next to each other under the Cypress Trees. Add site 2 if you would like the entire back half of the campground. Add site 4 if you'd like to have a maximum number of 16 total campers and 2 tents/per site. The common area has an outdoor shower, hot tub, covered bbq/cook area, tented (weather-protected) hangout space, and a place to stash your surfboard. The pizza oven is not available for campground use. Redwood Grove hangout areas have seating and tree swings. Please pack out your trash. We offer a recycling bin for glass bottles, cans, and clean paper. Parking is 100 yds or less from the campsites. We have a large wheelbarrow to help you cart your camping gear across the pasture to your campsite. No driving onto or parking in the meadow. Due to the narrow driveway and parking area (lack of turnaround), the site cannot accommodate RVs, trailers, or oversize vehicles beyond 16ft in length, 7ft in width, or 10 ft in height. 1 car per campsite, please. 15-minute walk to the beach and downtown.

Rustic Farm Shed - Quail

The farm is a 5 minute drive to Bolinas, but fully surrounded in nature. The camping area is great - grassy area surrounded in trees, great for kids to run around and explore. The common kitchen, dining and bathroom areas are well organized and stocked. The hot tub is a nice bonus!

BBF Site 2 - Cypress Middle

This is a lovely spot. We traveled here with our two children and it felt safe, well maintained, and had everything we could need/expect from a campsite. Our kids were excited to see the chickens, llama and sheep. Bonus that we could walk into town and eat some late-season blackberries along the way.

Rustic Farm Shed - Elk

The shed’s are warm, clean, clutter free! Dimmers on lights were a thoughtful touch. Not a lot of privacy.

BBF Site 1 - Cypress Left

My children absolutely loved camping at BBF that they did not want to leave! They enjoyed building stick forts in the fairy ring, watching the farm animals, getting warm by the fire pit, swinging under the trees, and they were particularly fond of the hot tub. The campsite we stayed in had plenty of space with a picnic table. We didn’t have to bring our cooking gear as there was an outdoor kitchen with stove, pots, pans, plates, cups, and utensils. My most memorable moment with them was looking for shooting stars under the clear night sky. A much needed respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Rustic Farm Shed - Quail

We stayed at the Quail shed. Much cozier than we expected with outlets, small desk, bed setup (which in the future I think will be a plain mattress to set sleeping bags on). Everything was provided for cooking. Close to Muir Woods and Mt. Tam. Very low key town nearby. Hosts were super nice and welcoming and the animals were adorable. Would definitely stay again!
