    My favorite glamping spot! The staff are kind and helpful and ensure all your questions are answered as you settled in. Amenities are cleaned daily (showers, restrooms, common area, etc.). My favorite touch is the heated blanket that keeps you cozy no matter the temperature outside. The office has a library you can check out books and games for the duration of your stay. Happy camping!

    AMAZING experience! From beginning to end, the check in process went perfect. I received text messages prior to checking in & the staff is very welcoming, super sweet. I highly recommend this place, this was our first time camping lol and I'm not an outdoor type of person but Glamping is definitely something I can get use to. We got the camping kit to cook, which comes with plates cups, cast iron pan and pot, paper ... everything you need to cook $75. We also got the s'mores kit $12, & wood logs for $12 and they have Valet fire starters. If you're someone like me that does not have any survival skills lol that was clutch. The views are to die for! We only booked two nights & we regret it! Can't wait to come back. The Mendocino town near by is so cute and theirs tons of trails you can do. Hope you give this place a try. You won't regret it!

    A gorgeous relaxing stay. Staff was wonderful, views were great. Can't wait to return. The beds were cozy and warm. Vibes were great. Close to town but felt so far from it all. I wish our site had been more level. I felt drunk for the entire stay. Nevertheless, I had a blissful time and I loved every minute.

    Camped here early November and stayed for a weekend. The first day was raining so we didn't get to do much but the next day we were able to get things going with the fire pit. I booked the tent that had easy access to the main amenities, which I highly recommend. The bathroom was about a 30 second walk away from our tent. Night time was cold and that's where the heated blanket shined. The tents are located next to the ocean so you'll hear the waves in the background. Breakfast was simple, oatmeal with some toppings (raisins, nuts,seeds, coconut sheddings, cinnamon, brown sugar etc), pumpkin bread, and boiled eggs. Coffee too. A good selection of tea was available all day. There were hammocks and a lot of outdoor seating spread throughout the eating area. We got to park right outside the tent. Overall a pretty fun experience, but I don't think I'd want to do it again in super cold weather. They did provide the heated blanket and had ceiling space heaters for the outdoor dining area though. The bathrooms were pretty nice and clean too! A few things I didn't enjoy as much was how the driving path was also the walking path. During the night there would be little kids running around on the path, so we had to be extra careful driving in the dark. I also didn't like how the fire pit and picnic table was behind our tent and not in the front. I also feel like there should be a little more protection added for the tent because some of the tent zippers were accessible from the outside and not the inside.

    Walt from Walt's Adventures adventuring in Mendocino Grove outside of Mendocino, California. The Glamping campground gave me a great outdoor experience. They had a movie night and daily small breakfast for all. Also, the options for Yoga, showers, and sauna. They had a trail nearby and I would recommend the grove for anyone.

    My stay at Mendocino Grove was hit/miss. Pros: 1. Beautiful location 2. Comfortable bed 3. Great water pressure 4. Friendly staff 5. Close to Mendocino (needed as they don't sell food) Cons: 1. Didn't respond to my request for campfire valet - like at all (not even an acknowledgement) and it was during the listed hours 2. Main gate was left open at night without obvious security 3. Most of the trash cans were full 4. Aging infrastructure I went to Ventana Campground for glamping (Big Sur area) back in February... similar amount of campers staying... and they were pretty responsive. Plus, they had an automatic gate for security. There aren't locks on the tents so it was more piece-of-mind.

    We had a wonderful first visit to Mendocino Grove. We are seasoned campers, but have never tried glamping and it was every bit as easy as it looked! We arrived shortly after 4 pm check in time - it was a very easy drive up, in-car, check-in experience. Then we were given a map and they highlighted our tent area as well as where we would park. We were in Comptche - C5, a junior vista spot with a queen bed and bunk beds. We parked right behind the meadow commons area as directed (which was where we would end up getting coffee and hot oatmeal each morning) and there were wagons we could use to unload our car. The campground is lovely, completely serene and beautifully well-kept. And the bathrooms? Incredible! So clean! Fresh flowers! It was like a dream. This was where we spent the next two nights - this was July, but Mendocino July so think chilly!!! We dressed in layers and were prepared. The queen bed came equipped with a heated mattress pad, which I've never experienced before, but was truly magical on the cold nights. The kids were less impressed with their bunk beds, which were basic cots that didn't come with heating. Instead they had sleeping bags, lined with sheets, and a heavy blanket each. That was the one aspect that could be improved upon. The morning offerings at Meadow Commons were exceptional coffee, plenty of teas to choose from, hot oatmeal and toppings as well as type of sweet bread (carrot cake loaf on one day). All tasted great and they played some nice jazz as well. Plenty of seating available. Wi-fi worked well over at the Meadow Commons as well. On one morning, we rented a canoe from Catch A Canoe Rentals, and were able to walk there and back. The town of Mendocino is also just a few minutes away by car and super charming! Hammocks were readily available - and clean BBQ grills as well. When we were there, it wasn't fully booked in our area so was nicely private and quiet, despite being the family tent area. Mornings were among the quietest camp mornings I've ever experienced in my camping experience, which was incredible! Overall, Mendocino Grove is a great spot for hanging your hat and enjoying the great outdoors for a few days. I'd definitely recommend it - they've put a lot of love into this place and it shows.

    What an absolutely amazing property! They have thought of everything and then some for a truly unique "glamping" experience. Sparkling clean facilities, comfortable, spacious tents with heated beds, lamps and phone chargers, firewood delivery and morning coffee, tea and light breakfast. Helpful staff and the location is perfect for adventuring, being just minutes from local beaches, hikes, and restaurants. Definitely a stay to remember!

    For those of us who may not be ready to take on real camping, Mendocino Grove is around to give us a smoother intro into the woods. I've seen posts on Instagram of glamping before and was always intrigued by the idea of it and once I found out Mendocino was dog friendly, I was sold. The drive over from the Bay Area was long. The road it may take you to could be windy, bumpy, and honestly not for those that get motion sickness. Honestly, the overall trip was lovely. There's showers, individual toilets, constant hot water refill, and the bed has a heater for those cold nights. Seriously, we're treated like royalty, y'all. Only cons I can think of: -Everything in the tent felt moist and it smelled funky - not sure if the smell is standard or due to the weather conditions -Neighbors were loud - quiet hours are between 10pm-7am and while they were quiet around 10pm, we got woken up by them laughing around midnight. Understand it's not on Mendocino Grove, but would like to flag to remind people to be considerate towards their neighbors -Text for help - I love this feature especially when it came to getting help to start our fire, however, it'd be nice if they could provide an estimated time so you're not left wondering if they received the message or not

    Great stay. Beautiful and clean. Clean showers- I still wore flip flops, but it was out of habit not bc it wasn't clean. Tents were spacious and private. I wish the tents fully zipped closed at the openings, it was really windy and we had a draft coming through, also had an animal try to scratch its way in, if it was fully closed that would've been less bothersome. I was told the lights on the nightstands were USB-C to charge devices, theyre not, they're USB-A. We had a great time though, will stay again.

    Clean well kept grounds, fully equipped tents, sauna, yoga, massage, and free breakfast daily. Surrounded by trees, wildlife, beaches, and the quaint downtown area. It's like a we went back in time.

    I am still reminiscing about my fun and relaxing sister glamping trip in Mendocino Grove during Memorial Day weekend. While my sister is an avid camper, I'm definitely still new in getting adjusted to outdoorsy things, communal bathrooms and such. Pulling off Hwy 1, try not to go too fast as your approaching the driveway. Immediately your car will take you on a narrow uphill road where you will park in front of their store for check in. It was a breeze. The welcoming guide gave us a map and a brief overview of the campgrounds. We paid a touch more for a Classic Tent Vista Plus facing the ocean. Tent & area: inside the tent was spacious & clean. I love that they had a few hangers for your jackets, 2 plugged in bedside lamps, and an additional 2 small LED lanterns for walking in the dark with. I was able to charge my phone and small electronics no problem. Outside, was a fire pit ($10 for delivered firewood), a picnic table, and a metal storage bin for your foods. Although there were other tents around us, we felt that we had a lot of privacy! We cooked all our meals except for breakfast. Campgrounds: every morning they offered a small breakfast such as oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. There's also a barista on-site for lattes & other breakfast items for a price. The campgrounds is lovely and well kept. Everyone that worked there was always smiling and you can tell they liked being there. The common area had tables as well as chairs by fire pits. For being such a family friendly oriented place, it was quite peaceful. The communal bathrooms were surprisingly clean! They had 3 spacious shower stalls. Bathrooms (I brought my own blow dryer), and also a sink to wash your dishes with soap. They also have a store that sells Mendocino Grove merch. Very cute stuff! We didn't take advantage of the mini meals that you can purchase before a hike but I'm sure they were delicious. Honestly, they thought of everything. Surrounding area: Mendocino Grove is perfectly located a couple miles outside of Mendocino town that has restaurants and shops. Then a few more miles ahead is Fort Bragg town that's also slightly bigger. The hiking trails were abundant! We also rented an outrigger canoe at Catch a Canoe and did some rail bikes at the Skunk Train. Overall our stay was fun and relaxing! I absolutely cannot wait to do it again despite it being about 6 hours away for us. Also, if you drive an EV, I recommend charging in Petaluma, then at Fort Bragg later on. The drive was nothing short of amazing. Don't forget to pull off the road near Navarro Redwoods for some epic shots of the trees. Mendocino Grove , see you again!

    Is it cold in the night? Does it have heater?

    It is very cold! The bed is heated; however, my face and head were quite chilly. I suggest bringing a hat you can wear while you sleep. The tent itself is not heated. The restrooms are also not heated.

    Thinking of booking a trip there for Fathers day weekend. What is there to do during the day?

    We spent time at Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, the botanical gardens, and the beach not far from the campsite. Each tent has a little list of local activities along with their distance from camp. Mendocino Grove provides yoga and guided hikes on… Read more

The fern canyon and waterfall loop is a favorite and depending on the season, you can see various mushrooms, wildflowers and foliage. In the spring, the kiosk is staffed and the gate to access the campgrounds and the small lot for Fern Canyon is open. There are a few spots closer to the trailhead but more in the main lots outside the campground (which adds about half a mile to your hike.) See my previous review for more about the Fern Canyon, waterfall loop hike. You can also head down to the beach to get a view of the bridge that traverses Highway 1 and some beautiful rocky shoreline. It's pretty special that you can visit the redwoods and the coast all in one beautiful park. A must do when visiting Mendocino.
