Even though this coastal resort, about 10 miles south of Pescadero, includes a campground, no one can pull a straight face and declare they’re actually roughing it here. Down bedding swaddles guests in canvas-sided tent bungalows and hard-sided Douglas-fir cabins. Chill-averse folks can use communal ‘comfort stations’ with 24-hour dry saunas, fireside patio seating, heated floors and hot showers.
Bland lodge rooms with private fireplaces and hot-tub access cater to those without Spartan delusions. There’s an expensive restaurant, bar and spa on-site. Bicycle rentals, yoga classes, horseback rides and guided bird-watching are available to guests only.
