My family and friends enjoyed our glamping experience in Mendocino Grove, especially our kids! The bathrooms were clean, staff were responsive and friendly. The tent setup was good, beds were comfortable. Breakfast was included as well which was a good surprise! Overall, the campground had a very relaxing feel and looking forward to another lovely stay in the future!

My friends and family enjoyed our glamping experience in Mendocino Grove. It's no doubt the best glamping you can find near Northern California!

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.

I forgot to review this lovely place I got the pleasure of staying for two nights back in November 2025. This was the absolute cutest idea I have done in a long while, although the nights were absolutely freezing during November which I do not recommend, if you can't withstand the cold. It was still enjoyable though. I recommend doing this during the lovely summer, I am sure it's amazing. They have clean bathrooms to shower. Communal area for coffee and breakfast with small snacks. They had this absolutely amazing apple bread I had to call them for the recipe, it was soooo good. It was a nice walk to get coffee, coffee was decent as well, no complaints. Raccoons will be the biggest problem, they do warn you prior and say to hide all dog food and human food in the large heavy chest that is located outside your tent. I thought I had put everything inside the chest and I was laying down and I heard something outside, so I get up and my neighbor said the raccoon had taken something from my bag, I finally realized the next day it was my dogs combs ugh. I was sad to say the least so don't make the same mistake as I did, make sure to put all things in that chest lol. I am assuming they thought it was food. The staff were very friendly upon check in, and when I called back to for the apple bread recipe. I forgot to mention that I wish they would invest in way better heated blankets for the colder months especially if we can't bring our own. The ones that were included and on the bed were just not heating up enough for the 40 degree temps. Cute little spot for a getaway!

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.

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.

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.

LOVED EVERY MINUTE!! The most comfortable beds, linens, pillows and blankets!! we slept like babies!! love the coffee and breakfast bar! AMAZING Highly recommend and we will be back!!

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

Entrance to camp

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!

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…

We stayed in the Treehouse room, and it was absolutely gorgeous. They even left a welcome note for us with our names on it. It had a tiny kitchenette with a microwave and fridge, plus everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The room also had coffee, tea, a tea kettle, and a coffee pot, and they even emailed us in advance to ask what type of creamer we wanted in the room, including almond, oat, and half-and-half options. One of our favorite parts was the real wood fireplace. It made the room feel so cozy and special. The bed was also super comfortable and warm, and we fell asleep with the window open, which was perfect. Eric and the team also give guests access to the lobby area, where you can play games, read books, and enjoy homemade cookies and lemon bars that they leave out for everyone. It was such a sweet touch. The entire property is beautiful and open, and there is a short trail down to the beach, about three minutes from the property. Around 5 p.m., we saw locals walking their dogs and hanging out by the beach, which made it feel even more charming and peaceful. Breakfast in the morning was amazing and included with the stay. Eric explained where all the ingredients were from (local) and even accommodated gluten free guests. Overall, Allegra has everything you need, so you really do not need to bring much. It was cozy, welcoming, and such a special place to stay. Big shoutout to Eric who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. He drew us a map of local restaurants he recommended, all of which were amazing! We will definitely be back soon.

We did an easy self-check in and were greeted with a cute card, a small bottle of local wine, and some of the best chocolate cookies and lemon bars ever. We loved enjoying the view from our room with the ambient warmth from the wood-burning stove. The real gem was the freshly made breakfast served in the main house each morning. My husband and I were blown away by the flavors and freshness of both of our breakfasts and easily could have stayed longer for more. The staff here is very responsive, friendly, and really made us feel welcome. We absolutely would recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a quiet escape in Mendocino.

It's really unfortunate how the Brewery Gulch Inn has declined. I've stayed at this B&B several…read moretimes over the past 20 years and the current (offsite and very distant) ownership group is quickly putting the final nail in the proverbial coffin. I'll start with the biggest issue. A total lack of transparency. When we booked our multi-nite stay, there was no notice of ongoing construction on the exterior deck AND the desk clerk said nothing about it when we checked in. The noise was off and on all day, including weekends. I'm not simply referring to hammering and sawing. The crew was playing music and SINGING along...right outside our windows. When we complained about this to 3 different desk clerks, all claimed ignorance and/or that they had "no control" over the situation". Similar situation during breakfast, when we were told they were out of 2-4 items on the menu EVERY morning. Regarding the menu, the entre descriptions were generally incorrect as what we were served never matched the entre description on the menu. Update the menu! The lack of communication among and between staff was remarkable and led to missed accommodations, confirmations or simply not getting a response at all. We learned quickly that we needed to tell every single staff member that we could find about any concern or question we had. Ridiculous. Regarding staff, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and simply assume that they are struggling, greatly, obtaining and/or retaining staff. The staff seemed very poorly trained on most functions, including basic customer service. They were pleasant, but uninformed often incapable, and totally unaccountable. This is a management issue, 100%. One of my fondest memories of the Brewery Gulch Inn has always been the setting and the current management is systematically destroying it. A casual look around the property, let alone a stroll, and you will see piles of debris, construction, or otherwise, dilapidated or decaying sitting areas, unkempt landscaping, and a general lack of attention. For those of us who remember the Brewery Gulch Inn from years past, this is one of the saddest parts of my review. On the positive/neutral side, the rooms are fairly well maintained (shower fixtures, light fixtures need attention), carpet is overdue for replacement). Housekeeping is attentive and thorough. For an Inn on the Mendocino coast that's charging upwards of $800-900 per night, depending on the room and season, it's shocking the entity that owns the Brewery Gulch Inn is allowing this to happen (and after talking with some other establishments in the area, I felt like the last to know). In summary, there are many locations to choose from in the area that provide a setting with service that match the price. The Brewery Gulch Inn is not one of them. Buyer beware.

It's the perfect escape from everything and totally affordable. We stayed in the garden studio on weekdays for only $70/night. You can't beat that price for any room that's actually in the tiny town of Mendocino.

Mendocino is adorable, and has a completely relaxed vibe. The cottages are on the very west end of town so only a 1/4 mile walk down the road to Mendocino Headlands State Park with breathtaking scenery. The room was very clean, quirky and cozy decorations, and plenty of firewood is provided. The three cottages are on the same property, kind of an extended backyard, but the incredible garden and ample space made it seem very private. The proprietor was nice but not overly involved in our stay or our business. She lives on site but was pretty much absent. This is a great place to stay in Mendocino and the price is unbeatable.

There was another small parking lot closer to the trail. We walked past the camp sites to get to the trail. The sites were on the smaller side, but all of them seemed to have a spigot. I used the flushing toilets before starting the hike. We did the Fern Canyon Trail to Falls Loop Trail- 6.2 miles. The first part was mostly flat, but there is some elevation gain for the loop. We went counterclockwise, but you reach the waterfall quicker if you do the loop clockwise. The 36-foot waterfall might not be the most impressive, but it was nice. There's a fallen tree trunk in between the two streams for you to sit and take some photos. We sat on a bench afterwards and enjoyed the views while having some snacks. I guess we got there at a good time, right before a crowd of people descended. Overall, the forested hike was nice and peaceful, and we also spotted a banana slug. There are some muddy parts though. I wished I read a bit more about the park before going. I would've wanted to do the short trail for Devil's Punchbowl which also has views of the bridge. Darn...
