Airstream Glamping At Autocamp, Russian River
Sonoma Wine Country is famous for of course great wines, food, and bed and breakfasts. But few venture west towards Sonoma Coasts jagged coastline and towering Redwood forest preserves.
This past November (Thanksgiving Holidays in America), our family got a chance to experience the ultimate in glamping! An outdoor experience in modern Airstreams from the folks at Autocamp Russian River in Sonoma, California. Nestled among giant Redwood trees, it’s within 5 min biking from the charming town of Guerneville, beautiful wineries, river kayaking, and hiking trails.

Fresh ground coffee (in nitro packed bags from Steeped Coffee)
Complimentary Linus Cycles
Modern open-air clubhouse
Quiet, woodsy, open spaces (perfect for social distancing during the current pandemic!)
Easy access to wineries, beaches, restaurants, charming towns (Guerneville and Sebastopol)
Eco-friendly and mindful travel setup (loved well-placed recycling + trash receptacle throughout the property)

Experiences

For the adventure seekers, get a nice workout with a bike ride to Johnson Beach, rent a kayak to row down the Russian River, or hike to Jenner Headlands and Armstrong Redwoods (giant trees!) Preserves. For the foodie experience, experience the farm-to-table scene in Guerneville and Sebastopol with some amazing wine tasting at La Crema, Korbel, and Russian River Valley wineries. And if that's not enough, grab a marshmallow kit from the Autocamp shop and enjoy the evening under the skies at your private Airstream.
