The Grove (5 total) campsites are located near the historic Narrow Gauge Railroad bed on a family owned working ranch in coastal Northern California. The camp sites are nestled in a pasture and grove of mixed Eucalyptus, willow and cypress trees. The sites are perfect for tents or camper vans, or small trailers. There are no hook-ups for RVs (the access to the camp sites also prohibits long vehicles). There is access to a composting camp toilet. The ranch itself is 300 acres of rolling hills pasture, with hilltop views of the Estero Americano valley. The Grove is home to many varieties of raptors and other birds-providing excellent bird watching. Seasonally there are blackberries to fill your containers, and some hiking. The sites are subject to some road noise, as we are right on Hwy 1. We are mere minutes from the quaint towns of Valley Ford, Tomales, and Dillon Beach, and a short drive from Bodega, Bodega Bay or Marshall, Pt. Reyes Station and Inverness. Nearby attractions include: Sonoma Coast beaches, Pt. Reyes National Seashore, coastal hiking trails, local farm-to-table eateries. Inland attractions include: redwoods, wine tasting, Russian River activities and so much more. Specifics about these campsites are: They each come with a picnic table (#1,#2, has a checkerboard painted on it-bring checkers or chess!)The grounds are a working ranch, so there is variations of the soil- some lumps and bumps and general natural state of a pasture v. a groomed lawn. There are certainly level places for tents and camper vans or trailers. The ranch borders Hwy 1, so there is some degree of road noise. Traffic usually dies down mid afternoon, and isn't too much of a disturbance. There can be however, some heavy weekend traffic during the day with car clubs and motorcycle riders enjoying the coastal highway. The Grove Sites #1, #2, and #3 are on this listing Site 4 and Site 5 are their own listing. *The Friendly Gray Cat's name is Boots!* If you plan on attending Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park, you've come to right place! Book your stay at The Grove, located 55 minutes from Golden Gate Park. Our space offers an ideal way to relax and recharge after a day's fun enjoying the music and food at Outside Lands.

Site 3 - The Meadow Grove

Campsite was represented accurately in the listing , however as a personal preference I found it to be too close to the road and too open to the other camp sites. The site itself is nice with picnic table and the morning time was really peaceful, lots of birds etc. and the location of Valley Ford was great for our charming small-town coastal explorations between Occidental, Jenner, Bodega Bay, Tomales, on to Point Reyes.

Great place to camp

Anna is very friendly and accommodating. The meadow and it's surroundings are beautiful - the bird life is just awesome! The composting toilet is super easy to use. Boots the cat is the best camping buddy ever.

Quaint and Centrally Located

What an incredible place to camp out at. It’s an easy 20 min drive to Sebastopol, Occidental or Bodega Bay. Camp sites are spaced out. Bathroom amenities are well cared for and charming. Birds chirp in the evening and some throughout the night. The morning is abundant with the song of the birds. Nights can be chilly so if you’re sledoing in a tent, bundle up! We felt safe and we will be back. I

Site 2 - The Meadow Grove

Absolutely beautiful field camping - exactly as described and pretty easy to find. The cows came grazing by in the evening and the road noise wasn't bad. Very comfortable and cozy for us in our campervan ☺️

Love this spot

We had the best time camping here. Beautiful meadow with rolling grassland and cows all around! It was a great home base for our adventures around Occidental. I’ll be back!
