We loved staying at Bonnie’s beautiful, peaceful place and would definitely stay again! It was such a pleasure to meet you Bonnie!
Very convenient to Shelter Cove and the Lost Coast Trail. Our campsite offered a serene setting and it was nice to be staying in a more secluded area than camping in one of the nearby campgrounds. It was very hot (July 5-6) for our visit, so the cold outdoor shower was welcomed. Flushing toilets were nice and clean. We didn’t have phone service, Verizon, so recommend being sure the toilet paper is stocked.
Bonnie’s property was beautiful and was in a great location, she was very welcoming and the facilities (flush toilet and shower) were great!
Nice quiet spot amongst the trees and by a stream not far from Shelter Cove. Bonnie was a lovely, friendly host, who made some good suggestions for us. Great outdoor warm shower and flushing toilet. Bring bug repellent for sunset!
We loved camping at the Trillium Cabin site on Bonnie's property. The combination of privacy, woods, and proximity to the sea (~15 minute drive) was perfect for our group. We hiked a portion of the Lost Coast trail from the property, biked the amazing Paradise Royale MTB trail, and enjoyed a picnic on the beach. Coming back to the site after a long day of adventuring to a hot shower and flush toilet was a real bonus. The outdoor kitchen set up can't be beat--inspires me to build one someday! We're already planning when we can return. (Oh, and on our weekend, we saw a bear, a bobcat, and whale…
Very peaceful and quiet. 20 minutes to the beach. I highly recommend!
