The Fairy Forest is 4 acres of redwood trees one mile from the magical city of Trinidad, CA. People have been camping in our meadow since the 1950's, and I'm happy to carry on the tradition, by opening it up to you. There was a fire on the property in 1901 which left the burnt out hollow stumps which you'll see by the shower. There's one old growth redwood on the property, behind the glampy tent, but everything else in roughly 120 years old. Every year we try to make your glamping experience better and better. This year, we've added an artisan picnic table, built on site, and some solar lights leading to the shower. Outdoor sink and cook space is next on our list! There used to be two campsites on our property, but we closed down one of them to give guests in the glampy tent exclusive usage of the outdoor shower and porta potty. We are also renting out our cabin this year, which has been our home for the last 3 years. There's 10 local beaches to explore in the area, great little restaurants and businesses, and countless trails- including Strawberry Rock, which is right down the street from us. We're 19 miles away from Orick, which is the gateway to Fern Canyon (make a reservation in advance) and all the trails with old growth redwoods. And we're 16 miles from Arcata, a vibrant, colorful and creative city that is home to the first farmer's market in California, which is quite the experience if you find yourself here on a Saturday. Hope you come and stay with us if you find yourself on the Lost Coast.

the Forest Fairy Glampy tent

97% (193)

Canvas tent · Sleeps 4

I have a 12 x 14 ft glampy tent in a redwood forest, with a queen size bed inside, sheets, comforter, four pillows, a heater, a dehumidifier, light, table with chairs, mirror and a rack for clothes. The tent is located in my meadow, which is also where the garden is located. PARKING: Please park on the wood chips and do not drive past the wood branch semi circle. SHOWER: The outdoor shower is located half way between the tent and the blue house. To turn the shower on, make sure the red light is off, and look for the red knob below the silver colored gas heater. Turn the water on and then flip the on/off switch beneath the silver heater. You should hear clicking while the heater ignites. Please make sure you've fully shut off the red knob when done. If it's not fully shut, it will leak water. I love my shower! It gets steamy, I have candles and crystals out, I love it. However, it's very tempermental, so please don't mess with it. If it stops working, let me know immediately so I can fix it for you. HEAT: There is a heater in there which is great and normally warms it up pretty quick. But if you’re cold and need extra blankets, please let me know. Also, keeping the dehumidifier on while you’re gone will make sure it’s warm and dry when you get back at night. GARDEN LIGHT: There are lights going around the perimeter of the garden, and a little greenhouse there, which you are welcome to hang out in. To turn on the garden lights, plug in the brown cord at the electrical box. TRASH: Due to bears, I will only be taking recycling from now on. Please pack out the rest of your trash. FIRES: There's a fire pit, and tons of kindling in the forest, but please keep fires small. Please do not use the wood in the wood shed for fires. This is wood I have cut, bought and gathered to keep my house warm. There are bundles of cut trees and branches by the parking area which you are welcome to use for your fire. There is a fire extinguisher in the greenhouse for emergencies. DOGS: Please do not book this site if you plan on bringing a large dog and not taking care of it. If you bring a dog, I would like them to be leashed at all times, not left barking unattended, and their poop picked up. SMOKING POLICY: No smoking or vaping of any kind are allowed in the tent. You will be charged a fee of $100 if this rule is not followed.

Cabin · Sleeps 4

Our 600 sq. ft cottage is surrounded by redwoods, one mile from the sea. It was rebuilt one year ago and has all new appliances. It's a cozy and peaceful escape from civilization, perfect for two. There is a full kitchen, bathroom (shower with hot water), living room and bedroom. We also have good wifi! No pets, please. We are located in the quaint seaside village of Trinidad, where the Redwoods meet the Pacific on the picturesque Northern Coast of California. Meander through remote trails winding through Redwoods, coastal bluffs, and more.
