The Grove (5 total) campsites are located near the historic Narrow Gauge Railroad bed on a family owned working ranch in coastal Northern California. The camp sites are nestled in a pasture and grove of mixed Eucalyptus, willow and cypress trees. The sites are perfect for tents or camper vans, or small trailers. There are no hook-ups for RVs (the access to the camp sites also prohibits long vehicles). There is access to a composting camp toilet. The ranch itself is 300 acres of rolling hills pasture, with hilltop views of the Estero Americano valley. The Grove is home to many varieties of raptors and other birds-providing excellent bird watching. Seasonally there are blackberries to fill your containers, and some hiking. The sites are subject to some road noise, as we are right on Hwy 1. We are mere minutes from the quaint towns of Valley Ford, Tomales, and Dillon Beach, and a short drive from Bodega, Bodega Bay or Marshall, Pt. Reyes Station and Inverness. Nearby attractions include: Sonoma Coast beaches, Pt. Reyes National Seashore, coastal hiking trails, local farm-to-table eateries. Inland attractions include: redwoods, wine tasting, Russian River activities and so much more. Specifics about these campsites are: They each come with a picnic table (#1,#2, has a checkerboard painted on it-bring checkers or chess!)The grounds are a working ranch, so there is variations of the soil- some lumps and bumps and general natural state of a pasture v. a groomed lawn. There are certainly level places for tents and camper vans or trailers. The ranch borders Hwy 1, so there is some degree of road noise. Traffic usually dies down mid afternoon, and isn't too much of a disturbance. There can be however, some heavy weekend traffic during the day with car clubs and motorcycle riders enjoying the coastal highway. The Grove Sites #1, #2, and #3 are on this listing Site 4 and Site 5 are their own listing. *The Friendly Gray Cat's name is Boots!* If you plan on attending Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park, you've come to right place! Book your stay at The Grove, located 55 minutes from Golden Gate Park. Our space offers an ideal way to relax and recharge after a day's fun enjoying the music and food at Outside Lands.

Site 5 of The Meadow Grove

A lovely spot. Rustic farmland. We loved site 4. Up and over a berm and beside an old sprawling willow tree, furthest from the road. Anna was delightful to work with. An easy drive to Pt Reyes Nat’l Seashore as well as Bodega Bay and the Sonoma Coast. Way to find and enter.

Great option for this busy area

Lovely site. That wise and lovely grey cat was a nice surprise sneaking in the camper at night. :)

Site 2 - The Meadow Grove

The location was nice. A little close to the road but that was stated. Benches and tent sites were ample. I would return if the other sites were available.

Site 3 - The Meadow Grove

Great, no-frills spot in a convenient location. One of the few places to camp in Marin. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Heard a mountain lion and a bunch of owls overnight!

We enjoyed our stay. As described, the camp spots are close to the road but it wasn’t noisy while we were there. Boots the cat was a very good host and greeted us as soon as we arrived and checked in on us throughout our stay. It smells and sounds and feels like you are on a farm (in a good way) and we could hear cows mooing and goats munching on vegetation. The loo was nice and clean. Other campers were nearby but it still felt private. It’s in a great location and we would love to stay here again when we come back!
