Tall Grove Tent #1

Scott was very welcoming and made sure my boyfriend and I had a really cool spot all to ourselves. Great experience and hope to be back someday!

Tall Grove Tent #1

Cozy Grove for Weekend Travels

We loved tent camping on Scott's property. Our space was the perfect cozy nook for our weekend getaway - my partner and I enjoyed being underneath the tall redwoods; we came in from Big Sur and were elated to be camping so close to Big Basin State Park, our next destination. Scott is proactive + friendly, would book again!!

Brook Camp #2

nice trees weird spot

tucked away off the main road, peaceful woods. seemed a little sketchy at first, bathroom was not what it portrayed and construction type wood and work everywhere made some parts of the property feel really unsafe. overall for one night it was fine. wouldn’t have stayed longer so i’m glad we didn’t.

Avoid

No clear directions, on a steep bad road uphill somewhere, we didn't find it. Locals tell you to watch out as the neighbors are dealing in drugs and better to be avoided. Limited information provided and almost no contact. We decided to go somewhere else... Avoid would be my advice..

Tall Grove Tent #1

This location was perfect for a quick getaway. We stayed for a night with our dog to get a break from the heat and there was plenty of room for the three of us. It was also close to Henry Cowell Redwoods and about 25 minutes from the coast.

Very nice and quiet spot, ideally to get away from the stress of the city. Scott was very accommodating and nice!
