The campsite at Gaia Farms offers a captivating escape into nature, with stunning views of the ocean and the surrounding islands. Guests rave about the farm tour, which provides a heartwarming connection with the animals and a peaceful break from city life. While the drive up is a bit winding and the wind turbine can be noisy at times, the breathtaking sunsets and starry nights make it all worthwhile. Privacy varies by campsite, so choose accordingly for the best experience.

Views from Heaven
Amanda’s property, campsite, and farm provided us with an unforgettable weekend. We were initially drawn to the site because of the images of the baby goats and we are so glad we followed our interests to this campsite. We had a beautiful view of the ocean, rolling hills, and even the Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and San Miguel Islands! The sunset is stunning from the campsite, and the light lingers romantically for a long time after the sun has set, and the subsequent star-scape are hard to beat; these features make the site unique in its natural beauty, but the site itself offers more than these stunning views. We opted in for the farm tour, which was the most touching and down to earth experience we have had in the longest time…we met the animals and had the pleasure of feeding and spend time watching the relationship and roles of all the farm animals. As someone who lives in a large city, I found the change of pace, peace, and natural beauty to be very welcoming. A visit to Gaia farms was exactly what we needed to feel more in tune to the land and learn about these human and animal connections we often forget about. Thank you Amanda & Gaia Farms!

Great views, night stars & turbine
The campsite is a great getaway. It is a bit of a drive from HWY-101, up among some winding hills, but the views and the night stars are really incredible. There is a wind turbine onsite, which does make variable but persistent amounts of noise depending on the wind. It was a bit windy when I was there, so was noticeable and at times loud for most of the evening & night, but the site and hosts were really great!

Fantastic camp!
The host was fantastic. The view from the sites were unbeatable and the farm was very cute. If you are looking for privacy stay at sacred camp. Great views and private. If you are going with another couple the other two sites chaparral 1 and 2 are great. If your going alone with your partner these two sites are very close and intimate, so I would advice you stay at sacred unless you don’t mind being close to your neighbours.

Perfect Escape!
My boyfriend and I had an incredible stay at Gaia Farm:) We were looking for a quick one-night getaway from the city and found their property on Hipcamp. I’m so glad we made the trip because it exceeded all our expectations. Amanda was incredibly warm and welcoming from the start, meeting us upon arrival and making sure we had everything we needed. Our campsite had a stunning view—far more breathtaking than the photos showed. We loved taking the farm tour, meeting the adorable animals (baby goats!!!), and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. The evening was calm and serene, with just a bit of wind as the sun set. We were taking in the views at every point. We even got to take home some fresh duck eggs, which was the perfect cherry on top. We’ll definitely be back. 10/10 recommend—thank you Amanda! 🌿
