Otter Valley Farm sits in a sunny valley cradled by redwood forest. Across the valley from camp we run a small farm with a menagerie of animals. In spring and summer, we enjoy many warm sunny days, with occasional foggy mornings. Relax at camp, in the meadow or enjoy many nearby activities for kids and adults alike. Just 2.5 hours north of the Bay Area, the farm is near many hiking trails amongst the world's tallest trees. We are a 30 min drive to the town of Mendocino and the treasures of the North Coast, including majestic beaches, fresh fish, whale watching, paddle boarding, kayaking, surfing, hiking, hot springs etc. A drive of equal distance inland will take you to Anderson Valley, home of Hendy Woods State Park and a mecca for cider and wine tasting. Meadow Car Camp: Park a car or bring your van, RV, camper, or trailer to this serene spot in the open sunny meadow next to the redwoods. RV’s and campers must be self-sufficient. No hookups available and no generators allowed. Redwood Walk-In Tent Sites: Pitch your tent in the serenity of the towering redwoods looking out onto the sunny peaceful meadow. Redwood camp is situated in a grove of redwoods containing multiple tent sites. These are walk-in sites with easy unloading, no more than 50 feet from your car. Tent campers must park in the parking area between the sign board and porta-potty. There is a communal area for all campers with a water spigot, picnic table/bear box, and porta-potty near our info signboard and parking area. Be advised that this is a working farm and there is an echo in the valley. While it is peacefully quiet most of the time, you may hear some daytime farm activity. We also have a guard dog who moves around with our flock of sheep and goats who barks regularly after dark and when she perceives a potential predator. **There is no cell service on or within 15 minutes of our property. Wifi and a landline phone are available to campers in case of emergencies. **Pets must be kept on a leash at all times! For the safety of everyone including your pets, our dogs, and the various livestock on the farm, we can't allow any pets off leash.

Redwood Tent Site 5
This space made for an excellent camping trip for my group! Incredibly easy to get to, and the campsites were well spaced out to give groups some privacy. Would stay here again!

Redwood Tent Site 4
Matt and Marot were lovely hosts. Site #4 was great with plenty of space to stretch out under the cover of redwoods. The farm is huge plus to this site, with the bleating of sheep and goats to welcome us. The rooster at sunrise completed the whole vibe. Meeting the flock and chatting with Matt about his sustainable farming methods was a total highlight for me and the kids!

Meadow Car Camp Site 2
Labor Day - great times were had
Lovely property! 4 adults and 4 dogs - utilizing 1 truck camper and 1 jeep/tent setup - had ample room to enjoy Meadow #2. We especially loved the large tree providing shade throughout the day. The hosts are very kind to mention that the pasture adjacent to the campsite has guard dogs for their livestock, and that they might bark at night. We hardly noticed over a total of 3 nights. The property is easy to find/access. It’s about a 30 minute trip into downtown Mendocino but that wasn’t an issue for us! Overall the property is as described. Would recommended!
