The Fairy Forest is 4 acres of redwood trees one mile from the magical city of Trinidad, CA. People have been camping in our meadow since the 1950's, and I'm happy to carry on the tradition, by opening it up to you. There was a fire on the property in 1901 which left the burnt out hollow stumps which you'll see by the shower. There's one old growth redwood on the property, behind the glampy tent, but everything else in roughly 120 years old. Every year we try to make your glamping experience better and better. This year, we've added an artisan picnic table, built on site, and some solar lights leading to the shower. Outdoor sink and cook space is next on our list! There used to be two campsites on our property, but we closed down one of them to give guests in the glampy tent exclusive usage of the outdoor shower and porta potty. We are also renting out our cabin this year, which has been our home for the last 3 years. There's 10 local beaches to explore in the area, great little restaurants and businesses, and countless trails- including Strawberry Rock, which is right down the street from us. We're 19 miles away from Orick, which is the gateway to Fern Canyon (make a reservation in advance) and all the trails with old growth redwoods. And we're 16 miles from Arcata, a vibrant, colorful and creative city that is home to the first farmer's market in California, which is quite the experience if you find yourself here on a Saturday. Hope you come and stay with us if you find yourself on the Lost Coast.

Sweet, Magical Stay

the Forest Fairy Glampy tent

Easy to find; clean; magical; cozy; secluded. This space was so sweet, cozy, and calm for a few-nights' stay! It was secluded, but also felt safe with neighbors nearby. The porta-potty was one of the cleanest I've seen, and the outdoor shower is perfect. It was very nice to have the heater and dehumidifier provided, as well!

the Forest Fairy Glampy tent

Very cute place to stay . Very clean and warm with the heater going . Just make sure you plug the heater into the big plug behind ac unit otherwise will keep tripping . No place to cook however and only a bed and mirror and table . Toilet needs a light inside . Didn’t see any shower but was probably me not looking properly . Overall close to Trinidad and very sweet . Didn’t see any water .

the Forest Fairy Glampy tent

I enjoyed my stay on Kimberly's land, the outdoor shower made the whole thing. The tent was clean and the bed was comfortable, at first I was a little skeptical on walking to the shower in the dark but it was totally fine. It was just my dog and I who stayed, I will definitely be back and will recommend it to friends!
