Canoe and kayak enthusiasts will find watercraft available for use at the on-site reservoir, which provides swimming and boating opportunities in a forested mountain setting. This privately managed campground charges per person rather than per site, with rates starting at $35 per night. Basic amenities include drinking water, showers, and picnic tables, though waste disposal requires pack-out.
Access involves rough roads leading to the property near Branscomb. The facility caters primarily to group events and offers both traditional camping and glamping options. Site identification can be challenging as numbered locations on the property map lack corresponding markers at actual campsites. Nearby Irvine Lodge Rest Area offers a different camping experience for those preferring developed facilities.
Description
We are Mendocino Magic, an outdoor events destination and private campground. Formerly a 600 acre logging camp and then a commercial trout farm, the space has historically provided employment to a large part of the local community. As the commercial logging and fishing industries faded from prominence, the land has transitioned to becoming a recreational destination for those seeking connection with the outdoors.
Home to some of the best stargazing in Northern California, Mendocino Magic also features the pristine Holland Reservoir- the largest private water holding in the North Coast region. Miles of trails wind throughout mountainous hillsides and scenic valleys. These former logging era pathways now lead guests around ponds previously used for the trout farm, through manzanita groves, and madrone and oak forests, to numerous campsites, weekend getaway cabins, and furnished luxury canvas tents (glampsites).
Guests can enjoy a traditional campout, with the option to add high-end amenities. There are cabins and facilities on site to host and cater to large groups for private events, corporate retreats, weddings, workshops, and seminars.
Camping includes:
Central Camper’s Kitchen- gas grill, fire pit*, 800 square foot sound stage.
*weather permitting
Over 3 miles of hiking trails, porta potties, hot outdoor showers, private reservoir for swimming, kayaking and catch and release fishing, family and pet friendly camping, as well as adults only clothing optional areas.
We invite you to join us for your next unforgettable event.
