About Us

Come Join Our Coastal Family

A pandemic passion project that turned into labor of love

“I founded Wildish in early 2021 when the pandemic and social distancing made us all question our life’s purpose.

Since my early days as a summer camp counselor, I’ve loved the outdoors and want to help others find that same joy — while fostering a sense of connection and community.

Originally a pandemic passion project, Wildish has now grown into a labor of love. This will be one of my life’s biggest adventures, I hope you will join me!”

The Wildish Way

Embracing Nature

We cherish California’s pristine coast. From the majestic sunsets over the Pacific to the plentiful wildlife of the Año Nuevo Marine Reserve at our doorstep, we want to inspire others to preserve these natural wonders for future generations.

Regenerative Focus

Our vision goes beyond sustainable travel; we are committed to regenerative tourism. The CZU Lighting Complex Fire not only destroyed the forest that once thrived here, but has also affected the local community. Our goal is to contribute to the regrowth of both.

Authenticity is at our core

We’re not fancy, we don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we genuinely want you to relax and feel comfortable. Whether it’s a wedding, a retreat, or a simple getaway, we offer a sanctuary for all souls seeking to be themselves.

We can't do this alone.
Will you help us?

We’ll need all kinds of help to make this dream a reality. We’re currently seeking referrals for local Bay Area groundskeepers, trailblazers, landscape designers, arborists and orchardists. Later, we’ll need suggestions for local general contractors, subcontractors, tradespeople, and skilled laborers. And before we open, we’ll need a full-time campground operator and a variety of hospitality-focused roles. And we’re always looking for mutually beneficial collaborations with photographers, social media influencers, and investors.

If you know any of these kinds of people or want to help us in another way, please reach out using the form below.
