“Our organization had an incredibly fun and productive summer retreat at Mendocino Magic this year. It was the perfect place to get out of the city to do big-picture organizational planning and group bonding. We loved the rustic feel of the entire property, the beautiful lake, and the extraordinarily helpful staff who looked after us. It’s a truly magical place. ”

“This was our first trip to Mendocino Magic and we had a great time! We spent hours swimming and kayaking in the reservoir and hiking around the grounds. Mackenzie was very welcoming and her partner was so kind in bringing my wife, 8 year old son and myself to the awesome paintball course on the property for target practice. We will now make this an annual stop on our camping adventures!”

“This place is nothing short of magical. Whether its a family gathering, a wedding, or a weekend getaway, this place has everything you need. A beautiful property nestled in the woods. Camping spots, glamping spots, all the blackberries you could want at the right time of year and a beautiful lake. The staff are some of the most helpful accommodating people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. They are always there to help with what you need.”

“I’m a photographer. I never dreamed I could take photos in a place as special as this, and I don’t know if I’ll ever feel the same feelings as I do when I get to capture images here. Even if it’s just for a day trip to take a promotional shot for anything from your engagement photos to your band’s next album cover, this place has so much versatility, you’ll never feel underwhelmed.”
— David C
“Our friends have been enjoying the same weekend here year after year and the glow never fades from our faces. Our group recently started bringing young kids to the campout weekends as well and it’s just incredible to have a place like this for them to experience as they grow up. It’s true magic.”

“Truly a Magical Place! A group of environmental studies grad school alumni from USF gathered for an amazing weekend camping, visiting, reconnecting, exploring, relaxing, and celebrating. We enjoyed an afternoon of swimming, kayaking, bird watching, and identifying plants. On our last night, we had an amazing BBQ in the picnic area with twinkling lights, wine, and music setting the mood. We are looking forward to gathering here again in the future.”
