Amazing stay. We were here for 3 days, 2 nights and couldn't be happier with the location. The camp area is close to Mendocino and Fort Bragg. walk to the beach or just hang out and enjoy the camp ground. The spaces are all very secluded but close enough that you see the faint glow of your neighbors camp fire.
porta potty is clean and there are running water in designated areas.
Will come back here often!
Perfect place for a quick getaway with the doggie! Loved how close we were to the beach to watch the sunsets. Clean facilities and close to a great market. From campsite #5 you can somewhat see your neighbors in #4 but there is space to move further back if you want to. Would definitely come back!
This place is beautiful and our camp site was huge! We highly recommend #9 if you can get it. The was very clean and quiet. Everyone staying there was super friendly. The trail to the beach is awesome. It was about a 10-minute walk from our site to one of the most beautiful coves we’ve seen on the coast. Absolutely incredible sunsets! We will definitely be back to stay here!!
It was our first camping experience ever and we loved it! We (me+husband+one dog) decided to start camping and we were looking for a campground where the campfire was allowed. (It is possible to buy campfire woods at site with cash) We really wanted some privacy and site 9 has the most privacy which we loved it. It was a peaceful campground surrounded and shaded by the massive heights of trees. As it is mentioned in the description, the site 9 is about 20 foot walk from the car parking which is not that far (we had our wagon with us since our tent was about 25kg;;;) and the porta potty is near car parking and spigot was across the parking space. So everything is not far from the site which is really good. This campsite is just about 10 minutes drive to Glass beach and other fort bragg famous restaurant. We would love to revisit this campground. Really nice campground and I recommend it!
It was my first time camping as a adult so I was a bit apprehensive but Jug Handle Farm was amazing! The campsites are spaced out so you’re not on top of other campers and there are trails that lead into the woods or to the beach. The outhouses were clean which was a super nice addition. Honestly it was the best experience for my first camping excursion!
Quiet, great location, lots of room to pitch tents! We stayed in site 2. A big site to spread out and enjoy. A little sloped but not bad. The Farm is very close to the great mountain biking trails in Mendocino, and to Jug Handle Beach. We enjoyed all of that and more! We had a toddler with us and the campground felt very safe for him to play and explore. I highly recommend Jug Handle creek farm and definitely want to come back soon.
