Redwood Glen Camp & Conference Center

Come out for the weekend & enjoy the wilderness!
Beautiful campsite, friendly staff, and no cellphone reception! (well. barely hahah) The best part about camping is leaving your electronics behind to really enjoy nature & the company you came with, and this is exactly what I did. I’ve been here a couple times now, and I have no complaints. okay almost none lol, the mosquitos here are pretty aggressive, but I’ve always been one to forget insect repellant so make sure you bring a shit ton and you’ll be fine.
So learn how to pitch a tent and get out here! (they also have some lodges on site if you’re not down to learn lol)

Thanks to everyone at Redwood Glen, who made our women’s retreat so great!
We made use of Siden Conference Center, and the rooms as well. The meeting room is nice, pretty plain but clean. There’s coffee and tea, and a sink where you can keep any snacks you bring in for your meeting. The sleeping rooms are pretty good too; simple but (again) clean and neat.
The food was very good – simple but flavorful, and actually pretty healthy for the most part. They were very careful to help out those with food allergies and dietary restrictions.
Grounds are lovely. Places to hike, basketball courts, a pool (for the appropriate season). And it’s also not all that far from the town of Pescadero or the beach, if you have time to explore.
Last but not least, everyone working there was friendly. Not in an OTT way, but in a genuine way.
If you are planning a retreat I highly recommend Redwood Glen.

5 stars for being so accommodating! I found out a few days before my retreat that I was gluten intolerant and didn’t have time to notify the camp so I wasn’t expecting anything. Dinner I asked the ingredients of the dessert and upon finding out I was gluten intolerant the lady cut up an apple and gave me some yogurt after pointing out what was gluten free. The next morning they had a special meal prepared for me among the requested vegetarian meals. The rooms are also very nice and there’s a lot of stuff to do, including basketball, ping pong, carpetball, etc.

I went there this weekend with a group. Had a great time bonding and relaxing around the campground! The staff are very nice and the facility is clean. Food was good and made fresh before each meal. We went on the hiking tails and saw banana snails. Recommend this place for future retreats!

since i’m a member of the church leadership team, we recently stayed there for our leaders-​only retreat over the course of a weekend (like the team does every year). the staff always does a wonderful job of making us feel welcome and letting know they’re available if we have any needs. it has that ideal, retreat atmosphere (feels like Yosemite without all the tourists and bears); it’s quite the drive into the hills and seems far from civilization. it’s a really consistent, solid place with decent food for the schedule meals and good facilities (including a pool, basketball court, volleyball court and hiking trails). the rooms, at least in the conference center, are fairly neat and clean with towels, soap and shampoo, cups, and just as comfortable beds as you would find at an average motel.

Redwood Glen is an amazing place to have retreats and organized camping experiences. The staff are exceptional, giving and very sweet and helpful.
Our church, Searchlight Fellowship, has had our summer retreat for the 2^nd time here, and the weekend was even better than last year! We got a whole lodge and conference center, plus motel-​style rooming all to ourselves and even our meals were served in the same building, perfect for our number of attendees. Let me say, we received an upgrade in our meal plan and so the food this year was so much better and more delicious than last year’s. It was pretty delicious! There was eggs, bacon, and toast for both breakfasts, shrimp for lunch Saturday, and BBQ chicken for Sunday’s lunch. And there was steak for dinner on Saturday, which was cooked surprisingly well! Not overcooked.
Then they have swimming and basketball and ping-​pong available with an open field area for relay games and other outdoor activities. People tanned, played sports, and had our games there and it was so fun!
The content of our retreat this year, «Seek and Ye Shall Find», was what really made the time we shared so deep and meaningful, and of course spending time with our spiritual family creating closer and more loving relationships with each other added to some hearts being healed or on their way to healing, and I can safely say all of us had in some way felt the love God has for us.
So it helped that Redwood Glen provided and clean yet earthy venue, with beautiful trees and great weather for us to have fun and also get closer to God.
