Jug Handle Creek Farm and Nature Center is a nonprofit with a five minute walk to Jug Handle State Reserve, Jug Handle beach and the Ecological Staircase trail. We offer 11 unique campsites with plenty of space and privacy. Each site has two picnic tables, a fire ring, parking for two cars and plenty of space for your tents. We also offer three lovely cabins, which have power and access to a shared kitchen and bathroom with a hot shower. Our 33 acres include a native plant nursery, community gardens, forests, meadows, and nature trails. Our site has lots of nature trails, is peaceful and beautiful and just a 5-minute walk to Jug Handle Beach and the Jug Handle Preserve. Our Mission: We offer a welcoming and supportive environment for people of all backgrounds to explore nature and connect with the natural word. Nature stewardship is central to our non-profit mission and as an organization we are engaged in many nature restoration projects throughout Mendocino County. We also provide a supportive learning environment for nature education for disadvantaged youth during the school year. If you teach k-12 and would like to bring your classroom to Jug Handle contact us about special rates and our immersive nature education programs.

#6 - Nice Big Spot
Lovely spot and very quiet. It’s a bit outside of busy Fort Bragg and Mendocino but close enough to take advantage of the towns and their attractions, if that’s what you’re looking for. The proximity to Jughandle State Preserve and the unique ecological staircase makes it ideal for hiking and exploring. And we were impressed with the work the owners are doing to restore the native plant life. Each site has its own picnic table and fire ring. We would certainly go back again!

Blue Heron @ Jughandle Creek Farm
Rooms in the bunkhouse are comfortable and clean. Shared bathrooms and kitchen are in a separate building, a short walk from our room. The Jughandle Creek Farm is a Nature Conservancy site and part a State preserve, located on the second of five ecologic terraces. There are hiking trails from the farm to the beach or nearby Pygmy forest.

#10 - Sunny Spot
Due to some fallen trees at Site #10, the host moved us to Site #1 and it was wonderful. Excellent large spot in a beautiful setting. We were staying in our vehicle and the parking at Site #1 isn’t very flat, but was able to get it flat enough on blocks. Highly recommend this campground again.
