Camp Site (RV) @ Dharma Bums

Wonderfully relaxing and terrific

The building and view are so beautiful! We only stayed one night but it was so relaxing and wonderful. The shower was hot and the toilet facility was a terrific reprieve from our portable toilet. We heard horses walk by in the evening and the morning was just fantastic. We stopped by their winery/cidery, where we received top notch hospitality. Thank you!

Camp Site (Tent) @ Dharma Bums

I camped at the tent site, which is in the middle of a small copse of trees at one corner of the property. The sites are all far enough apart to feel secluded, but convenient to the parking area and bathroom/shower. I woke up to horses grazing across the fence in a neighboring pasture.

Camp Site (RV) @ Dharma Bums

Great private site. Bathroom was fine and was a good benefit. We did not mind the open air. Appreciated all the kind and welcoming comments and tips as we set up.

TenyTinyTudor@ Dharma Bums Eco Camp

The tutor is adorable! We had a short stay so did not use the cookware but it was available. The tutor is tucked into a plot of land behind Val's house and before the yoga building. I have stayed at many hipcamps and this was the first with electricity! It has a sink with running water. It has a cute little couch under the loft bed that was enough space for two people to relax comfortably. It even has AC that worked, which was incredible as it was over 90 degrees out and the tutor would have been really hot otherwise. It was a great reprieve after camping in a storm for a few days prior. It is located on a really pretty vineyard as well although the winery is only open 10-4:00pm so we didn't make it in time. I thought the surrounding area was somewhat random, there are trails but not sure if they have mountain views as I arrived later in the evening so didn't have a chance to really check them out, and they are maybe a 20 min drive away. Two other small groups were camping too in a more public kind of way but the tutor is isolated and has a private little deck. For me it was a little bit overpriced for an area without direct access to the wonders of nature but understandably we were paying for electricity and that much needed luxury of AC! I would come back again.

Camp Site (Tent) @ Dharma Bums

Hidden Gem

A great place to stay, close to Albany but with a middle of nowhere feel! Highly recommend if you are looking for quiet and well maintained site with water and electricity.
