Redwood Walk-In Tent Sites

Great site, wasn't sure it was legit at first. No trespassing sign on gate. Had to drive back to town for signal but was able to reach Heather. Got in late and couldn't figure out walk in site. But there was no one else camping so we found another spot.

DO NOT TRY TO ACCESS VIA PEARL DR. You have to enter via Simpson Ln, which makes it a bit further off the beaten track. Campsites are uneven, some have a picnic table but some are pretty raw or random. There is one toilet, sink, and shower stall. Not much in terms of signs or common areas, we happened to bump into someone who worked on the property who helped guide us around. On the other hand, the walk in tent sites are in an interesting forested area.

Very rustic and no water or power. But very quiet and peaceful.

Redwood Walk-In Tent Sites

Great hidden gem in the Mendocino area! It’s close enough where it’s easy to get to, but far enough away where you feel like you’re really out there. Camping on Heather’s property feels like you’re camping in a redwood grove. It was gorgeous and had everything we needed!

I highly recommend this campsite. First thing, the shower has HOT water! The bathroom was way cleaner than expected. This was a pleasant surprise. The campsites were spread out and gave us the right amount of privacy. There was an open sky near the bathroom that allowed you to see the sky full of stars, it was such a beautiful view. Check in was easy, just make sure you set up camp well before sunset. It was peaceful in the redwoods and close to town. 10/10

A place to stay in a pinch. I just wish the sites were clearly assigned and labeled as it was difficult to find the correct spot. The host was responsive though. A flushing toilet is nice but in a DIY building with exposed wires. The shower and toilet are in the same building so if you needed to go and someone was taking a shower, there’s a wait. Several old structures through out the area. Besides that, was able to spend the night with no other issues.
