Spirit Camp is a magical retreat center perfect for weddings with overnight accommodations, corporate team building retreats, yoga and healing retreats, family reunions, and group gatherings. This former youth summer camp has been renovated and thoughtfully transformed into a comfortable, semi-luxurious retreat center that maintains its nostalgic charm while offering modern amenities for unforgettable experiences.
Nestled on 27 private acres in Mendocino County's coastal redwood forest, Spirit Camp combines summer camp vibes with contemporary comfort. We accommodate 50 overnight guests and up to 150 for daytime events, just 12 minutes from charming Mendocino town and 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean. Located just three hours north of San Francisco, we're easily accessible yet feel completely secluded in our private redwood sanctuary.
We're a queer-owned and queer-celebrated space creating an inclusive environment that celebrates human connection, diversity, and personal transformation. Our big-hearted, spirit-curious community welcomes all types of gatherings with authentic warmth and genuine care for every guest's experience.
Our group accommodations include 10 unique renovated cabins featuring organic cotton bedding and beautiful hardwood floors, plus up to 10 luxury glamping bell tents with flexible bed configurations. Our camping meadow provides additional space for groups wanting to pitch their own tents, creating versatile lodging options from cozy cabin comfort to elevated outdoor experiences perfect for family reunions and large group gatherings.
The heart of our facilities is our stunning 1,500 square foot multi-purpose Lodge - a beautiful event hall with soaring ceilings and skylights that creates a barn-like atmosphere perfect for receptions, meetings, workshops, and large group activities. Our 500 square foot Sanctuary, converted from the original camp chapel, provides an intimate space for ceremonies and smaller gatherings with gorgeous redwood forest views.
Magic Meadow serves as our central gathering space, surrounded by towering redwood and fir trees over 100 feet high with abundant natural sunlight filtering through the canopy. This spacious outdoor area accommodates large group activities, wedding ceremonies, team building exercises, and peaceful moments of reflection. Our private 1-mile hiking loop winds through magical fern gullies and crosses a charming stream bridge, offering guests nature immersion experiences without leaving the property.
Whether you're seeking conference and meeting facilities with our Lodge's presentation equipment and high-speed Wi-Fi, cabin accommodations across our 10 renovated spaces, campground-style lodging with glamping and tent camping options, or the rustic barn feel of our Lodge in a ranch-like outdoor setting, Spirit Camp delivers. Our converted chapel Sanctuary serves religious and spiritual ceremonies, while our multipurpose spaces function as community center venues. As a dedicated retreat center, we specialize in healing and wellness experiences while offering hotel-quality comfort and hospitality.
Our cater-ready industrial kitchen makes group meals effortless, connecting you with talented local caterers specializing in healthy, locally-sourced cuisine for weddings with overnight accommodations, family reunions, and corporate retreats. Multiple fire pits create intimate gathering spaces for s'mores, storytelling, and evening celebrations under the stars. Beautiful pollinator gardens provide peaceful reflection areas, and our comprehensive bathroom facilities with multiple showers and restrooms easily accommodate large group accommodations throughout multi-day events.
