Redwoods nearby? Forest Bathing? Dunks in the Deepwater Pond? Wood Fired Paella? Hiking on site? Have it all and relax at our forest glen located in Southern Humboldt 5 miles up private dirt road (2 wheel drive OK- but sports car height is not good ( IE not a BMW or Tesla)--higher clearance is best.) Our land is part of an old collectively owned by "back to the landers" group from the 70's. The parcel is over 500 acres, but our portion is about 40 acres. There is a large deepwater pond with a rowboat (and frogs) orchard, stream, and many hiking trails my husband created and dirt roads winding through the property. 420 friendly! Enjoy the birds in the morning and frogs on the pond at night from your well equipped tent with queen mattress and comfy comforters, sitting space, and wood counter for food prep. ( propane ok) No fires allowed at site but enjoy the large communal fire pit and terrace steps away. Our deep water pond (15 ft) is FULL and ready for warm summer swims. Wifi and electric for charging and an electric water kettle for coffee making is available at the communal space. EV charging is possible but slow off of our solar panels. Hiking trails on our 500 acre property and Lost Coast Trail at Shelter Cove Black Sands beach is 1 hour away. Ave of the Giants is 45 minutes away. We encourage 2 night stays as it is a bit of a trek to get here. Your hosts have everything you might need ( cooking wise) and can arrange for cooking equipment and utensils. Need Paella pans? Paella is our passion and we can offer a Paella Cookout customized to your dietary needs for an additional fee. We are 5 miles up a private dirt road ( 2 wheel drive is ok but caution to lower clearance vehicles) You will be deep in the relaxing forest. The 16 foot bell tent is quite large and can accommodate 2 more travelers. However they would need to provide sleeping bags and mats. Children under 10 not recommended The Chimes tent is slightly smaller 13 foot bell tent set on a platform 6 feet off the ground-- literally in the trees! We provide one citronella candle. Don't forget your headlamps. We are 35 miles (once on the pavement) to Lost Coast Trail and Shelter Cove. 20 miles to Ave of the Giants.

In the Trees- The Chimes Site
Surprise Camping Birthday Party
Four humans and four dogs met for a surprise birthday party. This was a perfect spot. We rented both tents, which are situated across the pond from each other. So very private but close enough to gather. There are two shared spots to gather. The main is up top near the house and the other is down in front of the pond. The main area has seating around the firepit, many prep tables for food and cooking and umbrellas. Definitely get the paella and guided hike!!! Both were highlights for all of us. The chimes site was perched up on a wooded platform. Outside it has a table and chairs and a composting toilet nearby. Inside there is a loveseat, a full size bed and small wood stumps for nightstands. Adorable. We brought a chime to hang with the other chime. We suggest doing the same. It gets quite dark so bring headlamps, flashlights and a lantern for the tent. Words can't explain how special this place is. Both Karyn and Gray are wonderful hosts who now seem more like friends.

Site 1 - Oak Knoll Forest Glamping Tent
Perfect weekend away
I loved Karyn’s property and the efforts she and Gray have invested to return the land to its native habitat. The glamping set up made a weekend in nature super easy. We opted in on the guided hike and the paella dinner and highly recommend.

In the Trees- The Chimes Site
Karyn and Grey are wonderful hosts. The instruction to get to the property was clear. The bed was comfortable and the site is clean. We arrived on a rainy/chilly day so we were provided with electric blankets and firewood, how thoughtful! Very beautiful and serene, thank you for making our stay special.

Lovely place and people
My wife and I loved staying on Karyn's land. She was so kind and fun and even make us amazing paella! Their site was simple but had what we needed. We slept great! Their place feels so far out but it was simple to get to. They made us feel welcome but also respected our privacy. Beautiful views of the forest and heard owls at night. Looking forward to going back!

In the Trees- The Chimes Site
My girlfriend, her dog and I had an amazing time at The Chimes Site. Karyn and Gray were gracious hosts and we are very grateful that they open up their beautiful property to campers like us. Be sure to follow their driving directions exactly, take it slow, and you should have no problem finding the place. I loved how quiet and serene this site was contrasted by the occasional ring of the chimes in the trees. It was like being rung into the present moment of this beautiful place. Very relaxing and perfect for those seeking to escape the noise of modern life. Also a great spot for stargazing. There is a common area with a fire pit, food prep areas, Wi-Fi and charging. Along with the site having a spacious tent, bed, couch, water and compost toilet nearby, this camping spot had all the experiences of camping out in nature without the bother of lugging around and setting up a bunch of gear. I'll definitely be back and would definitely recommend this site to fellow campers who want a more immersive nature experience but with the conveniences of a well equipped campsite.
