Romantic

Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

A unique experience awaits you. Spend a night sleeping 20 feet up in the air suspended between towering Redwood trees. A custom woven "treenet" by West Marin artist Andrew Castle (https://treenet.studio/), provides a firm surface to hang out and sleep up to 5 people on. It's like floating in space. Bring your sleeping bag, this is open air camping at its best - No roof, no floor! Wake up to the sun filtering through your temple made of trees! Rain is nearly non-existent in the Summer and early Fall in beautiful San Geronimo Valley, making this the perfect place and time to sleep out in the glory of the redwoods. Swainson's Thrush will sing at dusk, followed by the owls and coyote's yipping and howling in the middle of the night (don't let it spook you!) There is amazing hiking all around, potable water on site and a public toilet not far away. There's parking for your camper directly next to the site, keeping your amenities close by.This site is a suspended sleeping space, about 20 feet off the ground, in the middle of 14 redwood trees. You have to climb 2 short but steep staircase/ladders to access it. The net has sides that come up to about waist height, so it's very safe for basic standing, sitting and sleeping use. the net is woven out of hundreds of strands of extremely strong dynamic climbing rope and can hold thousands of pounds, many times more than the weight of 5 large adults. There are Christmas lights for night time lighting, and a powerstrip. You can set a small tent up in this space if you wish but it defeats the purpose.

The treenet is an incredible experience, especially when sleeping. The area is a little less secluded than I was expecting but it was never a problem and still very cool nonetheless. I highly recommend!

First time experiencing a tree net. Cool and unique experience with three teenagers and husband. Not large rural property but felt private enough enclosed within the ring of redwoods on Louis’s property in the residential neighborhood for hanging with family for evening games and sleep. Neighborhood is across the main street from large, beautiful open space for exploring. Check out trails on AllTrails in San Geronimo, like Roy’s Redwoods for ideas. Didn’t go far but leaves much to explore on a future visit. We had come from a day at the beach and dinner in Stinson. Great sleepover stop before heading home toward Sacramento the next day. Louis is friendly and helpful. Great stay. Thx Louis for sharing your space and making a special trip with teens possible.

Most Unique and Fun Hipcamp Stay!

19 ft campervan

My fiance and I absolutely loved this Hipcamp! It was easy to find (directions were clear) and host was very communicative and made us feel prepared :) We brought our 19ft campervan (Ram Promaster) and it fit fine at the site. Our van build and stuff is quite heavy, and we’re FWD so I always worry about getting stuck but we had no issues. Driveway is a little steep but we had no problem getting up, it did help to get a little momentum before going up it since sometimes we spin out on steep grades when wet. Anyway, onto the fun stuff-the treenet was beautiful and felt stable and safe. We slept up there for the whole first night. Yes it’s near a road but we heard little car noise despite this. We just packed plenty of thick blankets and dressed in layers and were totally comfortable. It was about 45° that night. We fell asleep to the sounds of owls hooting and gentle occasional drizzle of rain. The string lights are a nice touch and made for amazing photos! I would love to stay again when I’m in the area and for longer.

Unique and fun experience!

The Tree Net was awesome! Highly recommend. We had brought sleeping pads but ended up not using them, instead we had a ton of blankets and sleeping bags to have beneath us and on us and it was quite cozy. We had four people and the net felt quite sturdy. Louis was a great host and super responsive, he let us drop off some stuff a bit early which was quite kind of him. It was a perfect spot for a one night trip and a full day Pt. Reyes adventure. Highly recommend, very unique experience!

Sure, here's the edited version: It was nice and cozy. A lot cooler at night with the strung lights, although some didn't turn on. I wish there were lights going up to the net to feel a little more secure about going up and down. You are in a neighborhood, so being somewhat quiet is recommended. I think it was a bit pricey but made for a good memory. Overall, it was a good time.
