Mendocino Grove

Mendocino Grove is a modern glamping destination on Northern California’s picturesque Mendocino Coast. With breathtaking natural beauty all around, visitors can enjoy a tranquil and authentic camping experience with comfortable sleeping arrangements and an array of deluxe amenities. The property was founded by couple Teresa Raffo and Chris Hougie, the creative force behind Cornerstone Sonoma. The couple acquired the once-neglected property in early 2016. With great effort, they have restored the campground to its former beauty and added just enough luxury to make it comfortable yet still authentic.
