A steep road leads up to Hidden Knoll Farm Glamping, a private-land glamping operation outside Middletown in Lake County's Mayacamas foothills. One reviewer noted that a 24-foot Sprinter made it up without issue, but the grade is worth knowing about before arrival. Sites include a picnic table and a stone campfire ring, with views across the valley toward the Mayacamas mountain range and the Geysers visible in the distance.
The farm atmosphere sets this place apart. Chickens roam the property, eggs are available for purchase, and host Bertrand has been known to make guests a cappuccino. A shared camp kitchen under a shade pergola near the house includes a refrigerator, dishwashing sink, and coffee setup. There is also a small splash pool and a galvanized soaking tub for two, positioned to face the valley, with an on-demand hot water heater beside it. Deer have been spotted grazing in the oak forest below the sites. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed around the chickens.
Nightly rates run $45 to $75, with electric and water hookups available for RVs. WiFi is on-site. As one guest put it, "the view from the bathtub at night was the closest I've felt to actually being inside the sky." Harbin Hot Springs, which does not allow dogs, is a short drive west, making Hidden Knoll a practical base for pet owners visiting the area. Huttopia Wine Country sits a few miles north for campers wanting a different setup.
Description
Mountain Top Farmstay: Panoramic Views & Stargazing
Escape to a serene, mountain-top sanctuary situated just 12 miles from Napa Valley wine country. Surrounded by ancient California native oak forests, our organic farm offers a remote wilderness feel while remaining surprisingly convenient—located just 15 minutes from Harbin Hot Springs and within walking distance to local markets.
Your Experience
Each campsite is situated 150+ feet from the main farmhouse, bordered by 5 acres of open space and oak forest, ensuring a private and peaceful retreat with views of neighboring ranches. While we and an on-site caretaker are available to assist with any needs, guest areas are kept separate to maintain tranquility.

• Farmhouse Spa: Enjoy an outdoor hot-water shower and a soaking tub housed in a structure with curtains and panoramic views.

Activities & Surroundings
Lake County is a premier year-round outdoor destination. Enjoy panoramic volcanic views from the top of the knoll, including Mount St. Helena, the Mayacamas Mountains, Harbin Mountain, and steam rising from The Geysers.
• Adventure: Explore mountain and lake trails, mountain bike at Boggs Mountain or nearby wineries, and kayak, SUP, or boat on Clear Lake.
• Nature: Enjoy birding and wildlife watching on-site, or explore nearby waterfalls, creeks, and swimming holes.
