I can provide linens and bedding for an extra $25 for glamping spots. Beds have pillows on them. There is wildlife. This includes bears and mountain lions in the area.

We ask that guests clean up your camping spot upon departure to 'make the place better than before' for the next guests. Butterfly Landing is a sweet landing spot! Birds, butterflies and small wildlife love this spot. The habitat includes many native species of plant life. A pretty knoll that is on the top of a 40 acre property. Views of vineyards, redwood trees, valley floor, and expansive sky. Private, Quiet and beautiful. A central sunny meadow ties together 3 distinct private areas with a communal kitchen, bath-house, picnic-table sitting area and parking on the side. There is 1 outhouse that has a mailbox system to ensure privacy. (Please read manual on picnic table for instructions) Kitchen. 2 burner propane stove, and sink with running water (cold).

Please use the path that goes to the outhouse (unless you are in the Greenroom) and make sure you put the mailbox red flag up so that others know it is occupied. ((Then don't forget to put it back down!!) Common sitting area. There are 2 picnic tables, Lots of umbrellas that can be moved wherever, a fire pit/table and lots of seating. Parking. There are room for 3 vehicles. Parking is to be in designated parking area please. Vineyard View tent area: You can park, unload right below site. Please do not drive down to Bluebell Tent. There is a cart and wheelbarrow to bring gear down. Sunny meadow and forest shade make this a lovely landing spot to relax and enjoy nature, and a great opportunity to turn off those cell phones!! Butterfly Landing is about 1/2 mile from HWY 128 that runs through Anderson Valley. This location is the perfect location for it all. Wine tasting in the Valley, Navarro River swimming during the summer months, and the Mendocino coast is nearby. We offer 3 Unique Glamping/Camping choices. Bluebell is a Glamping Tent that sits on a beautiful deck with a unique porch with a built in dining 'table'. It's on the lower part of the Meadow. This is the most sunny spot, and the larger of the 2 spaces. Also the most private. Queen-sized bed. And a futon bed. Views of the valley through the trees and a magnificent Bay tree nearby. The Green Room is a small sunny Room with a lovely outdoor semi-enclosed porch with a bar counter that can be used for dining. Custom built using recycled materials. The Green room sits at the top of the meadow, and is close to all of the facilities, but is relatively private. It's best for 2 people. But a tent could be set up next to cabin. The Vineyard View Tent Spot is a perfect area for setting up tents. Good for a family or group of friends. There is a sitting spot, a cot, and the view of the neighboring vineyard is beautiful. Up to 3 tents. Max 6 people. This is an Honor system camping spot. We ask that you leave your spot 'better than before', as in 'Leaver no Trace'. I rely on everyone to do their part in the communal kitchen to keep clean and free of critters. SUPER IMPORTANT to put all food scraps in the compost bin. NO food anything in the trash. This is how the bears show up. Please do your part. Thank you so much. It is my honor to share this land with you.

Bluebell Glamping Tent

Peaceful retreat

I loved camping at the bluebell glamping tent. The site was quiet and accommodations were plentiful. The hosts did a great job creating a peaceful ambiance with many thoughtful touches. I’d love to stay here again next time I’m in the area.

Bluebell Glamping Tent

What a special place this is to camp. We stayed in the bluebell tent and it was so magical. Lovely deck to catch the afternoon sun and the communal amenities like outdoor kitchen, shower and compost toilet were all clean and stocked with essentials. Easy check in and so peaceful.

Bluebell Glamping Tent

Convenient Glamping near Mendo

This was such a fun spot to stay for our weekend in Mendocino county. It’s close to several small towns, but also has a full kitchen if you want to stay in and eat at the campsite. We tried out the drums and hula hoops, enjoyed the vineyard views, and a beautiful sunset. Everything was clear and comfortable. I’d definitely keep this place in mind for future trips!

Vineyard View Camping Spot

This place was so amazing and beautiful! Everything was as described and Kira was so great to work with. I appreciated her responsiveness and she gave wonderful details about how to get there. The site was so wonderful and you can tell a lot of love and care has gone into the property and regard for her guests. I would highly recommend.

Vineyard View Camping Spot

The Vineyard View spot as promised has a lovely view of the vineyard next door. The facilities were nice: kitchen, shower (though we didn't use), and pit toilet. In addition to the three camp/lodging spaces, there were a number of hang-out spaces with tables, chairs, umbrellas for shade, swing. There was a good mix of sun and shade from surrounding trees. You can hear vehicle noise because the highway is not far, but there were many trees to block the site of the highway.

Bluebell Glamping Tent

Lovely glamp spot!

Cosy glamping tent with comfy queen bed, a low tables and chair, and a great little front deck with chairs to sip some wine and enjoy the stars. The photos don’t show them but there’s a cute outdoor shower with mirrors and hot water, a little outdoor kitchen with stove and assorted cookware, and a perfectly lovely outhouse that are shared with the other two Hipcamp spots. Everyone has enough space to get some privacy, but you still can see or hear others who are there. I loved it and will be back! Awesome, easy semi-private place to spend some time in the beautiful Anderson Valley.
