Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Welcome to Mission Canyon were you can let go and relax under the redwoods, next to the creek with majestic water fall sounds. Go to the top of the mountain at 1000 ft to star gaze at the Milky Way and shooting stars! There are endless possibilities. Bring your own water containers to enjoy drinkable natural spring water. Also take a natural spring water shower and a cool dip in the pond each morning to start your day off refreshed! We recommend you have an all wheel drive vehicle to get to the property however 2 wheel drive will make it. There is a 1.5 mile drive on a dirt rd with dry creekbed crossings it is definitely an adventure to an amazing oasis.

Main camp

The place is beautiful and completely isolated. We enjoyed our time there. Now, there is quite a bit of junk ( old tractor, wood piles , etc) around the area. Also, no fire option. All of this would be fine if the price was lower, but not at the current price.

Owner made my wife feel unsafe

We had such a bad encounter with this property owner that we didn’t even end up staying there. He made my wife feel very unsafe. His listing only said that check in is AFTER 2pm so we figured we’d get there later that evening after a day of river rafting. He messaged me that morning asking when we’d be in and I told him 6-7. He responded and asked if we could come any earlier and said he has to meet at a store nearby to guide you in and I said no, my group and I were floating down the river. So we get to the store at 7, he says be there in 15. I ran into the store to use the bathroom and when I come out this guy gives me an attitude about how he had to wait around all day for me. He then got out of the truck and got passive aggressive saying he doesn’t give a f*** if we stay at his property or not. My wife told me that when I was in the store he approached her and questioned/harassed her about what we’ve been doing and made her feel very uncomfortable. Needless to say we decided not to follow this creep. We’re filing a complaint about this guy and getting our money back. HipCamp please flag this account, I don’t think anyone would feel safe staying under his watch.

Main camp

The site was pretty with a creek running through it. The downsides are that there is no bathrooms. Also no campfires permitted. And also it is about 35 minutes from downtown Guerneville.

Great Site!

I would highly recommend AWD, but the drive is totally possible without one - our group had a great time off-roading. The best part about this site was how secluded it is, but close enough of a drive to town if you want to spend time there. There are a lot of mosquitos so make sure to bring bug repellant. The site is impossible to find with GPS so you will need to meet with David to initially get there. It is a little challenging to coordinate, but overall David was very accommodating. We will definitely rebook this site.

Main camp

We made it in a Honda Odyssey mini van, but would really recommend an all wheel drive SUV or truck. It was an adventure, with 3 wet creek crossings. David is an awesome guy, quick with a smile, who will help lead you in and out if you think you may need assistance. Bring mosquito repellent and a propane fire pit, in case regular camp fires are prohibited. I would recommend staying at main camp for the best set up and room. We had a good time with our 2 wiener dogs.

Creekside

It was nice to be secluded and not close to other campers. This place has a lot of potential. There is a lot of broken down equipment and vehicles on the property which detract from the beauty of the forest. We were told by the host, we could have campfires, but a disgruntled neighbor stopped at our site and yelled at us for a good 5 minutes after taking a picture of us with our fire. It was an interesting trip for sure.
