Our property is just minutes from Mendocino's beaches, parks and sweet town, yet private and quiet as it is surrounded by 50,000 acre state forest with world class hiking and biking trails directly accessed from our place.

The redwood tree shower must not be missed! This is a very special experience for us to share with you. We are a family of campers.

Guests love staying here: "Such a lovely getaway! Our family of four and little dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heartwood. The cabins are great, with comfortable (warm) beds, very clean and cozy. It’s well worth the visit even in the winter! Really appreciated being outdoors surrounded by Redwoods, hiking the trails around the property, the modern bathrooms with hot showers, and the indoor sitting area to make coffee in the mornings. Our stay was relaxing, memorable and special!"

Ariana Acres

2 sites · Lodging2 acres · Willits, CA
Welcome All Mushroom Hunters Winter camping is here! Welcome to Ariana Acres located on Ridgewood Summitt next to The Golden Rule. Home and final resting place to legendary race horse Seabiscuit. Hikers love sighting the rare White Tallow Deer imported from Europe. They were brought here from William Randolph Hearst's San Simeon Ranch by Charles Howard in 1949. Hikers site them most midday. The locals really appreciate Mr. Howard for what is now Howard Memorial Adventist Health Hospital. Charles Howard was a successful business man from the city who bought Seabiscuit and Ridgewood Ranch. His son Frank died in an accident on the ranch. He was fifteen years old. Charles had the hospital built in honor of his son Frank to save other children's lives. Roots Restaurant is inside the hospital serving organic house made meals. They employ seven full time gardener's that supply the restaurant genuine farm to table produce directly from their garden. The Skunk Train runs from downtown Willits towards Ft. Bragg passing the world's largest Redwood tree. It is an open air steam locomotive. The country equivalent to the Cable Cars in San Francisco! The Skunk Train is world renowned, and was named one of the top ten attractions to go see in the United States by the New York Times. Fort Bragg is an hour away to the coast, offering more gorgeous coastline scenery. Lake Walker is about a mile hike down the mountain from Ariana Acres. There are hiking trails galore from Ariana Acres to The Golden Rule and back. Guides available for group excursions. Enjoy breath taking sunsets, stargazing nights from your tent sunroof, and warm fires in the fire pit. Brand new and in early development, Ariana Acres is located on 2 acres on the side of the ridge. The Well House tent is on the top level behind the fence on the upper driveway. Sunset Road is front and center and will reopen in summer. The Golden Bowl is on the 3rd terrace at the very back of the property. This is the most secluded site and most popular with couples. (Still in development outdoor kitchen, shower and picnic tables)

Meadow Farm & Forest

9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents28 acres · Fort Bragg, CA
Meadow Farm is a quiet and creative sanctuary surrounded by the forest. The ocean breezes freshen the air and the pulse of the planet is heard as the surf sounds travel to put us to rest at night.. We are a place for people experimenting with the new old ways to live with low impact and conservation of our precious resources. We offer affordable accommodations, organic gardening, and education on plants and living simply. We welcome your interest in veganic garden and diet, orchards, and forest trails. Our organic vegetables and fruit may be available if you wish to bring some of our farm to your table. Our garden is reduced this time of year but we may still have something to share. We can offer you a quiet and peaceful place without social pressures if you wish to "decompress" from city life, jobs or any stressful times. Or come to the communal fire near the bathhouse for sharing some time with family and the few other campers that may be there. Bringing your own wood is welcome. The coastal bike and hike trails are many. From South of Ft Bragg to the Sand Dunes near Ward Ave. you can travel over 7 miles one way and go down to quiet little beach coves along the way. Meadow Farm is a nonprofit 501c3 with goals of coastal food security, disaster preparation and sheltering, carbon sequestering and forest restoration. We offer native plant tours on or off site with advance notice. We like our dog companions! Two McNab collies, Moxie and Shama live here and may bark at first...still very friendly and social with people and other dogs.. There are several dog friendly off-leash areas such as, Noyo North Harbor Beach, Seaside Beach and dog parks in both Ft Bragg and Mendocino. Our farm is dog friendly tho we wish pets to be kept close, must be neutered and friendly to other dogs and people. Please be sure to bury or bag the waste. Speaking of waste, Meadow Farm strives to reduce waste by avoiding plastic as much as possible, recycling what we can and composting our veggie scraps. Please bring your own waste receptacles and take them along when you go. We take ours to the Caspar Transfer Station which is open Saturday through Wednesday... the location and hours can be found online. Our water is from a deep well and we periodically test it for bacteria. It is cold and delicious. Our irrigation pipes that have spigots and hoses at each camp are safe for drinking, cooking and cleaning. Our solar pump moves water into storage tanks that provide all the water to the farm. It is very important that the water valves on your camp spigot is turned off (gently please) to avoid losing 2500 gallons of water in a short time. If you see a leak or break in a line please contact us immediately. There are also water shut offs for the camps on the west side of the Farm House if you are unable to reach us right away.. When doing dishes we request that you use the strainer to catch food particles from the dish water and toss them in your trash or compost bucket. If you have vegetable waste let us know and we can pick them up for adding to the worm bins or composting piles. We make worm "tea" fertilizer and rich soil from these offerings. No animal products or oil please... a few egg shells are okay. We do have the usual wildlife though we haven't had problems with them. Ravens will raid your camp if food or bags are left out while you are away. From dusk to dawn keep children and pets close. We coexist well here with the critters...and glad to have them. Wishing you a very peaceful and soul refreshing stay at Meadow Farm. Come and allow this natural setting to heal and restore your sense of well-being.
