Camp Jade River

Great spot on the oh so beautiful south fork of the smith river. Our host Tyler was more than accommodating. With limited camping options in the area, this place is really a hidden gem. Surrounded by year round recreational opportunities we will definitely be returning & recommending this place to friends!

This camp site was amazing! The drive was a bit longer than expected but by far our favorite we stayed at along our trip. There is plenty of space if you want to camp up on the grass, great bathroom and drinking water. The deck along the river was the best spot for a single tent and cooking space. We woke up in the morning, made breakfast and spent 2 hours swimming in the river with our pups. Water wasn't too cold and at night you can see little bats flying up and down the water eating insects. Definitely can't wait to go back!

Jade Camp was such a sweet spot to camp at. We felt lucky that they shared this spot with us. The site is righr on a crystal clear river, very private, and deep in the woods. The river was an excellent swimming hole. The plateform was perfect spot to pitch a tent and they had a great fire pit circle with benches. They even provided us with fire wood (above and beyond gracious hosting)! The pit toliet, water, and great signs letting you know where everything was. Tyler was a great host with excellent communication. We would love to come back! Well done y’all!

This place is SO dreamy!!! I wish we could have stayed here much longer. I loved being able to set up our tent with a direct view of the beautiful river. We saw river otters, great blue heron and some other lovely wildlife. Very private river access and the water felt great!

What a beautiful spot to enjoy the hot summer days. I love how flexible this site is for all campers. I also think this is a great spot for a family because of the flexibility of a few camp spots. The water is just as incredible as it looks and sounds amazing. It is chilly on cooler days but quite the spot on a hot day. So bring your floaties and a rope to keep you close. I know my dog sure loved it. The deck is a great feature and the campfire spot when fires are allowed. I recommend this site if you want to get your river camping vibe on as well as being so close to the beach! It is one for the books! As for the winter, this is a great getaway spot to be cozy and get some fresh air.

This spot exceeded our expectations. We absolutely loved being able to swim in the clear blue water and just relax in our hammock. We picked delicious blackberries nearby. The view was wonderful from the small deck and this spot was more secluded then we originally thought. Neighbors are near by, but we didn’t really notice that much. Having a bathroom and drinking water near by was a plus as well.

Camp Jade River was beautiful as promised, and in a quiet but convenient location -- less than 20 minutes to gas and convenience stores in town, as well as hiking trails nearby.

Camp Jade River was a breath of fresh air away from the hustle and bustle. The fire pit area is on a slight incline, but the patio is nice and flat, and there is plenty of room to do lots of cooking and cleaning. We caught and ate cutthroat trout right there at the campsite. It is a short drive to Jedediah Smith, and we enjoyed much hiking and fishing on our trip. We definitely plan to come back!

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said about Camp Jade River. It is beautiful, private and the views that accompany this site are unmatched!

There are 4 different levels to this campsite

1st: The Meadow: The most sun in the campsite. Back your vehicle into the beautiful meadow above camp and below the outhouse. (I saw banana slugs here in the morning hours)

2nd: The Firepit: A perfect place to set up hammocks next to a cozy campfire.

3rd: The Deck: It is what it is. A perfect deck on a perfect river. Enough room to pitch your tent and enjoy looking over the Smith River. (Watch your step between the 2nd level and the 3rd!)

4th: The Swimhole: If i had to guess, it's about a 15 ft. Deep private swimming hole of crystal clear beautiful Jade green water with multiple small waterfalls. Just follow the ropes going down to the River on the right hand side of the deck.

Tyler,
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful land with us for a couple of days. We are Already planning our next visit to Jade River
