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 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.

Main camp

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.

Creekside

Overall, we had a good trip and the location is amazing. IMPORTANT- make sure you don’t follow the directions on Hipcamp. They are wrong and took us to a completely different location. Make sure you wait for David to guide you. Also, reminder there are no bathrooms.

Trees, creeks, and wild life

Highly recommend! We loved our secluded campsite with close access to a stream. There is plenty of space between camp sites, so there's lots of privacy. The drive in is unpaved and 4x4 would have been great, but I managed to make it in my Prius. Our host was friendly and accommodating.
