Site 4 - Power & Water
This campsite is on private land. We booked this trip in advance and continued to get notifications to "get ready for our trip", so I thought we were all set to go camp. However, we arrived to the campsite after a 4 hour drive and started to unload when someone who works there told us that the campsite was closed and that we weren't supposed to be there. There's no reception so we had to drive back into town to get signal to call the owner who stated that she wasn't sure how we were able to book the campsite because they closed the campgrounds due to all the fallen branches on the trees.
Our stay didn't feel so welcome, however, the owner allowed us to stay the night as we had already paid and booked the site well in advance. We had nowhere else to go so that was the only reason why we stayed at the campsite that night. The place is nice, it was just an odd situation that happened. Other than that, we were the only people here during our stay as the site was closed, so it was quiet.

Site 1 - Shady & Private
Stayed for the new year
The place is beautiful, staying at Site 1, would really try to be back there by Summer, we did booked for a 2 night stay, but unfortunately we only stayed for one night under the circumstances that we had, like unfortunately the once in charge of the firewood station was on vacation too, and the wind was strong on the night of Dec.31st that brought down some big branches of trees that scared my wife and son.. Anyway those circumstances happen and we can’t stop them.. So I will give the place 4 stars out of 5

Site 4 - Power & Water
Great place to camp. Sites are bit too damp in the rainy wintertime, but that’s not the fault of the host. All of the amenities and access to nature are amazing.

Site 7 - Family Spot
It looked like a beautiful property. We arrived after dark and had a bit of trouble finding our campsite. Maybe some better signage?

Great camping!
Great campsites, with plenty of room. We used the hookups which made for a fantastic stay. The location is beautiful, right in the middle of the forest. Close to Mendocino and Ft. Bragg. Definitely will visit again.

Site 9 - Walk into Forest
Cold but pretty
It was a beautiful site and the access to jug handle beach is amazing. But I didn’t have a good experience getting firewood so I recommend planning that in advance.

Go-To Mendocino Coast camping
Go-to camping on Mendocino Coast. Incredible location. It’s smallest has and has great amenities. But remember— use only what you need. Mendocino is still in a draught despite the recent rain. Conserve water

Site 4 - Power & Water
Excellent little gem
This campground was very conveniently located and had everything we needed as a small tent camping party. The sites and toilets were very clean, and the view of the stars while sitting around our fire pit were exquisite!

Site 7 - Family Spot
It’s a beautiful property and the beach is gorgeous but there were no site maps when I got there and nobody around to ask. The site had some garbage on the ground and the trail to the beach isn’t very well marked.

Site 9 - Walk into Forest
Nice location but the campsite itself had litter in it and there was no one around to help us navigate the site or buy wood etc (we arrived late afternoon on a Saturday), fairly basic operation.

We had a great time at this camp. Very clean, well maintained, and close to a low traffic beach. We would love to stay here again in the future.

I've stayed at Jug Handle many times over the years, and it only gets better - more services, better organized, and the like. The hosts do a great job with the space.

Awesome spot
This is our go to place to camp near Mendocino. The campground is always quiet and you can walk to the beach. We saw so many mushrooms there in November!

Site 10 - Sunny Spot
Pricey
I only stayed one night so I could not experience much of the property. However, once you pay all the fees it’s over $50/night for a place to park. There are no amenities other then a port-a-potty sitting out on the grass (I didn’t use it). FYI - the adjacent State Park is NOT dog friendly. I just think it’s overpriced for what it is.

Site 8 - Woodland's hangout
Overall, the facility was what we expected. Unfortunately, the site (#8) that we booked was supposed to have electricity AND water. It only had water. There was no one available to assist. I didn't ask for a refund. We just sucked it up and went without water for a few days. Bummer.

Honey moon camping trip done right
Great location tucked right off of the highway. Clean level grounds for any kind of camping and the cleanest porta-potties I’ve ever seen. Will be visiting again but making sure I bring more people to enjoy it.

Site 7 - Family Spot
Jughandle was such a perfect spot to camp! We loved being able to hike to Jug Handle SNR from the campsite. The other sites near us were not reserved, so it was really quiet and peaceful. I wish we had time to stay longer because there was still so much to explore! We can't wait to come back to Jughandle!

Great place but wet!!
Check in was easy and site was clean. Jug Handle is great, but I could hear a neighbor dog barking…too much like home! I’d come back during summer though, when it’s a bit less damp and foggy…had to wring myself out after leaving.
