All you need to do is arrive and enjoy the beauty of the Mendocino Coast.

Comforts That Make YOUr Mendocino GETAWAY Easy

We believe sleeping outdoors shouldn't mean sacrificing a great night's sleep or a hot shower.

Mendocino Grove is fully equipped with several luxurious amenities. Settle into a real bed with heated mattress pads, cotton sheets, down comforters, and electricity for your devices, then freshen up in sparkling-clean bathhouses with hot showers, redwood outdoor showers, EO Organic bath products, and a dry sauna.

Stay Closer to Your Mendocino Adventures

Spend more of your getaway exploring and less of it getting from place to place. Our Mendocino escape is conveniently:

  • A two minute drive to Mendocino Village.

  • Nearby five state parks like the Big River Beach and Russian River Gulch.

  • Surrounded by coastal trails, restaurants, galleries, and the Pacific Coast.

Then after a day of exploring, you don't have to retreat indoors. Come back to your tent, light the fire, and keep enjoying Mendocino well into the evening.

Family-Owned Glamping

Created by a couple who believe everyone should have an easier way to enjoy the outdoors. For over a decade, Chris Hougie and Teresa Raffo along with their long-term staff have curated a stay that is accessible and welcoming for everyone.

This approach to hospitality is what keeps campers returning year after year and what makes them feel like family the moment they arrive. 

OUR STORY
Spacious Northern California glamping tents with dog-friendly amenities and outdoor areas, perfect for a weekend getaway with your dog.

More Space to Enjoy the Outdoors

Being close to nature shouldn't mean being close to everyone else's tent. Our Northern California Glamping stretches across 37 wooded acres, with tents spaced at least 20 feet apart and select "More Private" tents more than 100 feet from neighboring sites. 

Additionally, each tent comes with your own deck, picnic table, and outdoor space, so there's room to slow down and enjoy the quiet that brought you to Mendocino in the first place.

Family & Dog-Friendly Getaways

Make your next Mendocino getaway an adventure the whole family can enjoy. Kids have plenty to keep them entertained, from meadow games and exploring the outdoors to campfires, s’mores, and time spent beneath the stars.

And there’s no need to leave your four-legged family members behind. Our dog-friendly accommodations, warm-water dog wash station, and nearby dog-friendly beaches and trails make the Grove a welcoming home base for exploring Mendocino together.

MAKE The Most of your time in Mendocino

There’s plenty to do between adventures when you stay at the Grove. Spend time playing bocce ball, badminton, or volleyball, explore the trails, relax in a hammock, or gather around the campfire for a laid-back evening outdoors.

Depending on when you visit, you can also enjoy special events like live music around the campfire, outdoor movies, Harvest Dinners, wellness retreats, and Campsgiving Week. With so much happening right at the Grove, your accommodations become part of the getaway rather than simply a place to stay.
