Two nights in a tent site this month…read more Pros: Fantastic service and communication by the camp host, both before and during our two night stay. Bathrooms were very clean, well lit, and fully functional. Firewood and other necessities were delivered right to our site upon arrival - so awesome! The patch of old growth we camped in was long-ago cut large trees which had sprouted a dozen or so normal trees out of them. The woods were DARK due to dense canopies and staved off the rain when it fell, which we loved. Most importantly, this CG doesn't fill up six months ahead of arrival date so you can actually book them like a normal campground used to be (I'm glaring at YOU, California State Parks). Cons: Loud road noise due to proximity to 101 and surface roads. In fact, several of the sites abut the neighboring private property, allowing you to see through an old privacy fence directly into their back yard. Luckily our host let us swap spots when we realized this. Several tent campsites lacked picnic tables, which made me concerned if they'd have been full (they definitely weren't this May weekend). The fire rings were sufficient but also just old wheels. Showers in bathroom were in dire need of new fixtures (hard water made them look quite...eek...just glad I wasn't wearing my glasses while I showered). We recognized this area is a difficult one to have high expectations in due to remoteness and gave an extra star for the supremely kind and helpful woman who hosted us. We may not be back up here again, but if we are I hope to run into her.

The guests were speechless when they saw the tents and experienced the richness of each tent. Wayward Glamping provided over 10 tents for our weekend event. They did a site visit as soon as we picked a date. They worked with us on the placement of the tents - must be on level ground, how much space is needed for each tent, etc. Then, we went for it and added a larger tent to use as a "hang out" area for the weekend. Emily took over 50 calls from me (sorry Emily!). She always responded very professionally, and swiftly and had an answer for every question. We ended up renting all of her decor for the long weekend. Her crew was meticulous in setting up the tents. They have an incredible system for packing and unpacking. Each tent was stocked with hand warmers (we had a cold front), coffee set-up, wine glasses, water, make-up wipes, washbasin, pitcher, sitting area, blanket, Pendleton blanket, 4 pillows on the beds, wall decor, chargers, BlueTooth speaker, bath towels, pool towels (we paid extra for these), solar outdoor lights, rugs, and end tables. Emily gave me extra solar-powered fairy lights to help decorate the entrance to the tent village. She knew I may not have enough lighting. I am so thankful for Emily''s creative vision and for making these special tents for our guests. The only recommendation I would make is - if you can set up some "up-lighting" on the tents at night. The tents are like a blank canvas and adding some lighting on the exterior would be incredible. This is nothing Emily would provide. Highly recommend Wayward Glamping.

We and the guests who stayed were absolutely blown away - each tent had very comfortable bedding, a charging station, a nice wash station, coffee, water, and tea - the details were incredible! Furthermore, Wayward was able to make individual tent layouts with twin or queen beds so that friends, couples, and family groups were all comfortable for their stay. Thank you Wayward!

Fortunately, a lady who works at the General Store you pass on the way down told us to just pull over and give it 10 minutes for them to cool down. Good advice! We were good to go after that, and had we been thinking, we would have used the brakes on the trailer more on the decline. That being said, it has all the amenities we needed for the 5 nights we stayed; full hook-up for the trailer, an onsite store and clean bathrooms with a nice shower. It was off-season here (November) so most of the local hangouts have reduced hours, but we got to try all of them and were happy with not only the food and local beer within walking distance, but the friendliness of the onsite staff and residents. The community seems more like a very tight-knit and caring family. Even the small herd of deer that just hang out onsite feels like part of the family. There are hikes up into the redwoods of the King Range, and along the beach, so we enjoyed the variety of views. And the oceanfront view...it's a quick walk to the beach and the surf is spectacular to watch. There are sea lions and seals aplenty, and go out at low tide to see the starfish, sea anemones and maybe find a beautiful abalone shell (but no collecting live ones). The remote location and slow pace is part of what makes this place so special, so if you're disappointed in your stay then you weren't choosing this place for the right reasons. I highly recommend it!

I got completely lost in the magic of those towering redwoods , which honestly, I didn't mind one bit.

Then I stumbled across this place, and let me tell you, what a gift. The people were so friendly and accommodating, and the whole atmosphere just felt safe and peaceful. The bathrooms and showers? So clean. The other campers? Quiet and respectful. I didn't end up using the pool or hot tub, but I peeked in while pulling up, and it looked calm and cozy , the kind of place you can actually unwind. I felt so comfortable that I slept like a baby. Woke up feeling thankful , truly thankful , for the kindness of strangers and the little moments that make solo travel so worth it. I'll definitely be back... next time with my family.
