Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

Nearly four acres close to town and amenities, yet quiet and secluded. Away from any major roads and on quiet nights, the fog horn from the Big River buoy can be heard. Wildlife on the property include piliated woodpeckers, deer, raccoons, jack rabbits, bears (keep your trash and food inside!), mountain lions, foxes, and of course, our resident ravens. Wild huckleberries and rhododendrons are abundant among the redwoods and fir. A beautiful spot to spend the night!

Tiny House Among the Redwoods

Thanksgiving at the Tiny House!

Our family celebrated Thanksgiving at the Roots End Tiny Cabin in Mendocino, and it was an experience we’ll always cherish. The cabin’s location was perfect—secluded yet close to the town and beach. It was cozy but spacious enough for our family of four (including a 9- and 16-year-old). The well-equipped kitchenette and comfortable sleeping setup were great, though I’d recommend bringing sleeping bags as it gets chilly at night. Cooking over the fire pit made our Thanksgiving meal extra special, and the propane range was perfect for morning coffee. The outdoor space, lit with patio lights, was charming, though the pit toilet took a little getting used to. For a unique holiday or peaceful family getaway, the Roots End Tiny Cabin is an amazing choice! Tips for Traveling to Mendocino During the Holidays: - Plan your itinerary and pre-book rides at least a week in advance, as availability can be limited. - Call ahead to reserve tables at Mendocino’s quaint restaurants—they’re lovely but have limited seating. - Don’t miss dining at The Waiting Room; the hospitality and ambiance are incredible! - Stop by Goodlife Cafe—the food, service, and ambiance are amazing! It can get crowded quickly, so plan ahead—or don’t—but it’s worth the wait!

Root's End Tent Site

Beautiful site surrounded by redwoods! Host was responsive and insightful with all questions and help we needed. We’d definitely stay here again, though not during rainy season. It was very close to the other sites but luckily no one else was staying at the tent site. Important note that I didn’t realize: this site shared a toilet with the neighboring tent site.

Tiny House Among the Redwoods

Great location, helpful host

Molly was super responsive and helpful and the property descriptions were accurate and worked for our needs. Sink, stove, refrigerator, and shower in the tiny home were nice glamping perks. The shack was a cool little shelter with its own super private fire pit and table area. The outhouses were clean and stocked with the necessities. I rented both the Tiny House and the Fisherman's Shack, which were adjacent and only about 20 paces from each other. As a result, it felt like we had a large yard area to ourselves, which was fun for our kids. Both sites are within view of Molly's home and within 50-100 yards of the other sites on the property. Loved how close the whole property was to downtown Mendocino (about a mile, just across the highway), which made for easy exploring of the area.

Tiny House Among the Redwoods

The tiny house among the redwoods was a cute small cabin. It fit my family of four just fine. Packed with all the necessities, we had a good stay. Molly was very kind and warm. My only complaint is the lack of privacy. There isn’t much. It’s fairly close to the rest of the sites and the main House. But if that doesn’t bother you make sure to check this one out. It’s literally about 3-5 minutes away from the Big River which was absolutely majestic!

Woods Tent Site

Magical campsite!

I loved our stay on Molly's land! The walk to tent site was so secluded and magical. The bathroom was very clean as well. We definitely will come back - it was perfect for exploring the Mendocino coast!
