“The surrounding redwood forests, coastal bluffs, beaches, and meadows provide plenty to do during the day for both you and Fido (this place is so pet-friendly, they even have a dog washing station!). On weekend mornings, gentle yoga classes are available for $10 at the Meadow Common, which also serves as the community hub with games including bocce and corn hole. Down at Big River, you can rent kayaks and canoes. And of course there are hikes—literally hundreds of them.” — Anna Volpicelli

“The idea of camping always sounds romantic: sleeping under the stars, telling stories around a campfire, making s’mores. The truth? Much colder and much dirtier. If your visions of outdoor life tip more towards the fictional and less towards the reality, pick Mendocino Grove for the outdoor experience at its storybook best.” — Abigail Stone

“The better option is Mendocino Grove, with 60 luxury glampsites offering first-rate beds, electrical outlets, ‘reliable wifi’ and a communal fire ring for sharing stories and s’mores.” — Diane Rommel

“Part of glamping’s appeal is in the details, and you’ll find plenty of those, including hammocks strung throughout the tree-studded meadow, s’mores kits for purchase and use in the private and communal campfire areas plus bocce ball courts and a complimentary breakfast bar.” — Jessica Yadegaran

“This is a destination known for its beautiful remoteness, a refuge from the hubbub of modern life. With a vibe both artsy and outdoorsy, the seaside community and its coastal environs invite you to unplug.” — Josh Sens

“Nearby, a central bathhouse with a contemporary spa-like feel is outfitted with redwood, marble vanities, and subway tile-lined showers.” — Marissa Hermanson

“Even if you hate the word glamping, you can’t deny the appeal of four-star comfort in a wilderness setting. Mendocino Grove, a collection of plush safari-style tents..., is tucked into 32 wooded acres in Mendocino County.” — Graham Averill
