Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

Surrounded by cooperate timberland, it feels like there are no neighbors! There is not a house in sight but the the ridge views seem to go on forever! - There is a simple latrine at each site. A full bath house with a flush toilet and hot shower is available next to the main house. A water spigot is attached to the main house. - Spare camping supplies are available by the bath house if you forget something! Ask ahead if you need to borrow a specific item. More about the property: I built my home high upon a southern ridge. Watching the river of coastal fog flow in and out below me is one of the most wonderful views to behold! I have 30 acres of land to explore and camp upon in the surrounding redwood forest. 10 miles east are Montgomery Woods redwood preserve with GIANT trees, and a little farther, perhaps a mile is the famous Orr Hot Springs Resort. If you drive a half hour west from my land you will be in the coastal Mendocino village. We are marijuana friendly!! Thus, we have created more of an adult oriented atmosphere. one last note: We recently made separate listings for different sites. See campsite #1 for reviews. Guests love staying here "What a fantastic experience. I arrived to Cosmo’s super late after a long day going up the coast. It was a last minute book that morning, if I remember right - my campsite had fallen through. His directions were spot on, and very kindly he stayed up to take me to my site and help me get set up, even going so far as to light me a fire. His property was easily navigable in the dark, and my two wheel drive made it fine. We talked for a while - what a cool guy. He was able to give me recommendations from a friend of what to do during the next legs of my trip, which was great and really did make a difference for the rest of my week. I cooked my dinner and sat stunned looking at some of the best stargazing I’ve had in a long time. When I woke up I realized that I had been sleeping next to a mountainside view - this was site 3. Talk about the best surprise I’ve gotten in a while unzipping a tent. The clouds were gathered in the valley and as I ate breakfast I got to watch the sun slowly clear then out. It was unbelievable. Before I left, Cosmo let me use his indoor solar-heated shower and told me all about his projects to build his own home and roads and move towards a more sustainable future. Overall this is really the best of what I imagine hipcamp has to offer - kind property owners & unique individuals who care about their guests while also allowing them to have their own experience. If I’m ever near Mendocino I will gladly make the trip inland to stay at his property again."

site 3. Pet friendly with views

Cosmo was a great host. The campsite was comfortable and has a beautiful view. You can watch the fog roll and wake up to a blanket of fog covering the valley below you.

Hike in camping experience

Nestled among towering redwoods, this campsite offers a serene retreat with stunning views. We had campsite 4 and the open fire pit adds a rustic charm, perfect for evening gatherings and roasting marshmallows. The natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere make it an ideal escape for nature lovers. Highly recommended for a peaceful, memorable camping experience. The cherry on top was our host, Cosmo! He was very accommodating and made our trip so much more special! 10/10

Cosmo's Camp: Campsite #1

Great views

Great view at spot number 1. Small area for the actual campsite but big land.

Hike in camping experience

Staying at Cosmo’s is always a treat. I’ve been up four times and every trip has been special. Cosmo takes care to ensure that you’re comfortable at your site, have what you need, and are oriented to the property. I’ve enjoyed hiking, relaxing, and snuggling up with his kitties (what a perk!), and I can’t wait for the next visit.
