Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.
RV, Trailer, Camper Van sites located on a coastal ridge-top orchard surrounded by redwoods. Each site includes access to artesian well water, 30-amp RV hook-up, 20-amp outlet, solar string lights, and a picnic table. PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE RV/CAMPER VAN/TRAILER ONLY - WE DO NOT HAVE TOILETS/SHOWERS AND THEREFORE WE DO NOT OFFER CAR/TENT CAMPING - BYOB - Bring Your Own Baño. A great place to relax and enjoy the peace and serenity of the area. Wake up to a chorus of birds while the sunrises over the forest. Stay up enjoying the 360 degree star gazing. The property is located east of Occidental in a unique "banana belt" along the USDA 9a/9b climate zones, inside the "Green Valley" Sonoma wine appellation, on a quintessential country lane. Originally settled and farmed in the early 1900's by a family of Italian immigrants, from who the lane is named. One acre is our family compound, two acres are forest preserve, and the other two acres are the orchard - where the parking sites have been integrated. The orchard has many different fruit trees including heritage Gravenstein apples that were originally planted by the family from Italy. The Gravensteins are ripe between mid July to mid August. The orchard borders a forest with old growth Redwoods, Douglas Fir, Bay Laurel, Oaks, and Madrone. Some wildlife passes through the orchard, especially birds. The site offers great star gazing, sun rises, moon rises and access to a charming walk on a beautiful country lane for sunsets. Two minute drive to Occidental, and a twenty minute drive to the beaches of the Sonoma Coast and the Russian River. A great location to explore and enjoy nearby small towns, wineries, dairies, hiking, bicyling, surfing, kayaking, and farmers markets... or just relax at the site, make a picnic and bask in the serenity.

Originally settled and farmed in the early 1900's by a family of Italian immigrants, from whom the lane is named after. Several decades later the land was subdivided. My parents purchased a 5-acre parcel in the early 1970's, and began homesteading. Fifty years later we are now three generations on the same land.

Our fave campsite of the trip~
What a lovely little oasis. Tucked away, private, clean, and full of beautiful apple trees. Joesph’s land was in such a great location from downtown Occidental with access to Bodega Hwy. Good place to have our pups. Thank you for the warmth and relaxed vibes. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect setting for rest!
It was so hard to leave such a beautiful and peaceful place.. WE are so very glad that we found this sweet spot in Occidental, California. Joseph was amazing and answered all of our questions ahead of time. Great communication. After meeting both he and his wife, we knew it was going to be a great stay. We had the best spot ever, so secluded, private and quiet right in the middle of a gravenstein orchard surrounded by eucalyptus trees, redwoods & yucca plants.. Our 11 days were perfect for the rest we needed and it was only 12 miles away from our children and grandchildren in Sebastapol. We highly recommend Rancho Laslendini. We rate it a 5 star HIp Camp. Can't wait to return next year for a full month.

I love how quiet the property is and it's located in an absolutely gorgeous place. Apples from the trees were a tasty treat and I found lovely hiking nearby. In the evenings I walked the dogs along the one lane country road and it was delightful. Love the dark sky and so many stars. A word to the wise on arrival, the sign with the street number is very challenging to find so look sharp! If you miss it it's a very narrow road and the loop to try again pretty steep and twisty and long.

This was a nice stop on the way back from the coast. Easy in and out, lovely location. The three spots are relatively close together, but our site (2) still seemed quiet and secluded. I would stay here again.
