Locus Solus
Very private, very beautiful!
This is possibly the most private campsite I’ve ever had! We did not see another person the whole weekend, though no one was staying at the octagon building (which is gorgeous by the way). We had a lovely time at a very beautiful site surrounded by trees with a view that dipped into a canyon. The cool fog rolled in at night but rolled out mid day allowing us to enjoy the sun for a bit. It did get cold and windy in the evenings and mornings so bundle up. Like some other reviewers, we pitched 1 tent and 1 slept in the car in the parking area which is flat, and used the lower spot as our hang space which was perfect and also made the space feel bigger. Our two small dogs enjoyed being off leash and having the freedom to play in the field. We could also take them for walks down the gravel road. The only downside was the Point Arena Rod and Gun club is across the valley so we heard guns shooting for a bit both days, and my dog is noise reactive (shakes for hours), so keep that in mind. Driving to town for the best fish and chips at the restaurant at the wharf was a breeze! We brought 5 gallon bucket toilets which are cheap and easy to buy on Amazon. But if they added a compost toilet for the camping site, that would take it up another notch!

Locus Solus
The spot is close to town, and next to the B Anthony Preserve- so you get to drive my zebras on your way in and out. We were a group with several small children, so the closeness to town was wonderful. The views are sweet, and the road is quiet and lined with thimbleberries, which was nice for walking with the kids. As mentioned by others, there is a slant to the camping spaces, but we found a few spots that were serviceable.

Locus Solus
We planned to spend one night in Pt Arena and definitely didn’t want to land in a RV Campgrpund… locus solus took care of us! We knew exactly where we were spending the night… it was mostly level area on a mountain ridge prairie… absolutely beautiful in the evening and morning coastal fog.

Octagon
Really beautiful, special place. I wanted something that felt like camping but with a toddler, that isn't always the easiest thing. This was a great place to bring our little fam. Chris was very responsive and helpful!
