No tent required. Easy peasy! These are private & tucked up into the peaceful Ancient Redwoods with easy access to the hot water shower/wash houses, VIP parking and logo’d Welcome gift included! Up to 2 vehicles permitted per tent cabin.

2. Campers and Tow behinds: Bring your home away from home with you! We have very limited space available in a beautiful wooded space for these and includes space for you to stretch out. (NOTE: there are no electrical hookups or latrine clean outs.) Like the tent Cabins, you have easy access to the hot shower/wash houses and all the other amenities.

3. Come And Stay in your Tent, Car, or Truck. Sleep under the stars! Situated near the small creek running through the camp,if you want to pitch your tent, there are places that we mark off for this purpose. Like everything else, you share in the Commons' facilities.

How the Food Works

Mendocino Running Festival is set up in a family camp format, with a very large kitchen and the eating area we refer to as The Commons. You can expect beautiful, fresh and thoughtfully inspired (Vegan options offered) meals and snacks.

Living the camp culinary experience…
If you're coming to camp, race and join us for the festival weekend, you will need to purchase a Weekend Food Pass. Here's what to expect. It starts with a complete traditional Pre-race Pasta Dinner Friday night and we take it up from there. We serve coffee/tea, cereals, fruit, bagels and yogurt in the mornings, and on race day, we serve a hefty lunch and fantastic dinner. Be sure to stick around Saturday night for our famous Smores and More at the Fire Pit! Sunday morning, there's breakfast again with a fun camp favorite, Flapjacks! If you are bringing friends who aren't running, they will need to purchase a Weekend Food Pass as well. You will need your Food Pass bracelet to access all the fabulous goodies we have in store for you!

For Race Day only registered runners… we include one hearty meal (lunch), snacks and refreshments in your registration. Your race bib is your ticket for lunch, hold on to it! So, if you're coming for the race, you're covered for post race refueling! Stay and enjoy the afternoon with us… (If you are bringing non runners with you, you have the option to buy them lunch at checkout.)

Dietary Accommodations: All our meals are thoughtfully crafted with fresh, local ingredients, focusing on vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes while always including protein options for every palate. Due to the wide variety of dietary restrictions, we cannot accommodate all of them. For guests with severe allergies or strict dietary requirements, we recommend bringing your own supplemental nutrition to ensure your needs are met.

We thank you for your understanding!

It doesn’t take much to figure out where you land in all this. But if it does, by all means, email us! Info@WanderingSolesAdventures.com
