About Root's End
Nearly four acres close to town and amenities, yet quiet and secluded. Away from any major roads and on quiet nights, the fog horn from the Big River buoy can be heard. Wildlife on the property include piliated woodpeckers, deer, raccoons, jack rabbits, bears (keep your trash and food inside!), mountain lions, foxes, and of course, our resident ravens. Wild huckleberries and rhododendrons are abundant among the redwoods and fir. A beautiful spot to spend the night!

[hipcamp aggregate summary]
Very cute little campsite, so close to the village but still felt like we were camping in the middle of the forest.
We had such a wonderful time! The cabin was beautiful, we had a fire and saw a million stars, and we walked down to Mendocino for coffee in the morning. We would love to come back.
I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our engagement weekend!
The crazy thing is, we slept better in a tent, in Miss Molly’s back yard camping Mendo experience than we do at home, it was a perfect well cared for “Hipcamp”, we had great neighbors at the site behind us, the ocean can be heard all night. And the Ravens lets us know when morning had broke. We would return anytime!!! Thank you Molly!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⛺️🌲🐦⬛🌊💚
This Hipcamp is 2-3 minutes to town, offered comfy accommodation, and the property was very pretty. Highly recommend!
