Tired of the scorching heat? Come chill out on the coast where it's always 20 degrees cooler than everywhere else. Located in the coastal prairie minutes from the Pacific Ocean and the town of Point Arena. Plenty of privacy to launch into day trips and other adventures in this special corner of the world. The Octagon and the campsite offer solitude, stunning views, bird watching, and walking trails on the property. We're 5 mins from town, the cove, various beaches, tide pools, the historic lighthouse, fishing spots, and the B Bryan Animal Preserve where you can view African animals and hand feed giraffes. Come find what you've been missing!

Octagon
10/10 Experience with a Pup!
Beautiful property, private and safe, so quiet and peaceful. We loved the simplicity of the Octagon and the beautiful exposed wood. We loved looking up at the stars at night through the octagonal window above the bed. Yoga in front of the West facing windows left me feeling refreshed and aligned. Our dog loved the open space and all of the windows! We ate breakfast and birdwatcher on the deck in the mornings which was so amazing! The shower was wonderful and the composting toilet was a breeze! Truly a 10/10 experience and we will be coming back!

Quiet and secluded.
Quiet and secluded camping spot inside a private property. The way to the site was clearly marked. The site was pretty much surrounded by trees and it was very cozy. It was also very close to the Point Arena downtown that has a lot of cute little stores and galleries.

No frills but a nice private spot, good views of surrounding hills and valleys. Super quiet, no one nearby.

Great secluded spot. It was a nice place to exhale after a long day of driving. I would definitely recommend this spot.

Octagon
I loved staying at The Octagon during a moto camping trip down Highway 1. I used it as a home base from which to explore Point Arena, Gualala, and Sea Ranch. Paul was a most accommodating host providing a great list of local things to do, as well as helping getting settled in the Octagon when I couldn’t work the heater, or needed a cooler. The Octagon itself was incredibly comfortable between the bed and spacious interior. I had difficulty peeling myself away from it.

Octagon
The architecture of the octagon is beyond stunning. Stayed the perfect temperature all day and night (didn’t even need the space heater they provided) and the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen/bathroom building also felt really clean and thoughtfully put together. Already planning my next stay!
