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.

Camping on the farm was great! We got to see and hear the farm animals, a wild deer, and so many birds in the early morning. Their tent sites are well spaced out giving you some space from other groups and their communal space is stocked with most camping necessities. Big plus to have running water, bathrooms, and showers!

Rustic Farm Shed - Elk

Wonderful spot near great hiking and beaches. I stayed in one of the “sheds”, which was really like a cozy cabin. Bed was comfy, space was clean, and hosts were communicative. Highly recommend to others looking to stay in the area to give this place a visit

Blackberry Farm is beautiful! The outdoor kitchen and bathroom set-up is clean and easy to use. The communal dining area is very charming with its candle chandelier! We have camped here a few times now and absolutely love it.

Lovely spot! The hot tub and hot water showers were great and the site was well-kept. Loved the sheep and the little farmstand too! Very friendly hosts.

Blackberry farm is the BEST. I’ve stayed here twice now and I will certainly return. It’s an incredible spot and the amenities are divine. Literally I feel i’m at the 4 seasons it is everything I could ever dream of. I’ve met awesome people both times i’ve been and been so comfortable. Kitchen is better stocked than any airbnb I’ve ever been to with awesome cast iron skillets, many tools, and plenty of kitchenware. Hot tub is epic and showers are hot and powerful. Aesthetic is unmatched. Just fabulous, so grateful for this place.
