Gomde California is a 260 acre Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat center in Leggett, CA. We are located near the junction of Highway 1 and 101 in Mendocino County. Our guests enjoy a peaceful stay in a redwood forest and along the Eel River, with the convenience of being just seconds off Highway 101. We are 1 mile from the famous Drive-Through Tree, 5 minutes to the Peg House (Never Don’t Stop!) and 1 hour to the Mendocino Coast. The property contains a developed campground with a modern bathhouse, Eel River beaches and swimming holes, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing. The property is mostly used for small private meditation retreats and is only open for general camping on a small scale. We offer self-contained RV and trailer camping, tiny homes, and cottages for your stay.
I was the only camper on the weekday night I went and that was lovely, so serene. I spent a few hours painting on the beautiful property. It was quiet, the most peaceful nights sleep I’ve had on this trip. Showers and facilities were great. The wild turkeys were intimidated by their reflection in my RVs bumper which was entertaining. Would definitely come back, I felt very safe here.
Nicely laid out campground with sounds of the river below. Excellent bathhouse with hot showers. The herd of deer wandering around were a nice touch too.
Thank you very much for this pleasant stay. The host was very friendly and the surroundings very quiet. We were able to relax very well and enjoy the beautiful nature in the camp. The sanitary facilities were very clean. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place close to nature, you should definitely come here!
Great spot to park my van overnight! Joseph was easy to communicate with and welcoming. The sight was easy to get to and having access to a hot shower was amazing during the cold rain. It was nice to sleep among the trees, would recommend!
We were so grateful for Joseph hosting us! We got a sweet little spot on a really well-maintained and very secure location. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. We really appreciated getting to take a hot shower on a chilly morning. We would absolutely return again!
