We are Albion locals lucky enough to call the Oak Show home. We live on the other end of the Oak Show property, a distance providing ample privacy for guests. We have two young children and two Lab mix dogs. You may see us walking along the driveway. Please drive slowly. We share this space with our neighbors, children, and pets. We also ask that campers be mindful of noise in the evenings and respect our rule of all amplified music being off between the hours of 10pm-8am. The water on our property comes from our well. Please be respectful of the drought conditions in our area and conserve water in any way possible. The base rate for this site includes up to four people, there is an extra charge of $15 per day, per person for any extra people. Campers can set up tents or trailers around the site and have access to the kitchen and bathroom, as well as an outdoor shower. There is a kegerator, gas grill, propane heater, and a corn hole set available (see Extras). There is plenty of space to set up multiple tents, perfect for a group. Navarro Beach and Van Damme State Beach are 15 minute drives away. The village of Albion has a general store and deli, as well as beautiful river and marina. A 20 minute drive North will get you to the village of Mendocino where you'll find shopping and restaurants, as well as access to hiking, biking, kayaking, and whale watching. Should you have any questions or need any help during your stay, we are just a short walk away and happy to help. We hope you enjoy our site and we look forward to hosting you!Situated atop Albion ridge, the Oak Show’s redwood ringed meadow delivers striking views of Railroad Gulch and Table Mountain. The gulch’s northwest vista provides glimpses of the fog wispily rolling in from the coast, a golden hour of glowing sun rays on the distant ridge top, and the sunset colors lighting up the sky. The Oak Show’s unique transitional pigmy forest landscape affords beautiful redwoods alongside the short bushy trees and plants of the pigmy forest and hard clay soils. With wild rhododendrons and Manzanita’s blossoming in the spring, abundant huckleberries ripening in the summer and wild mushrooms popping up in the fall and winter, there is always something to see at the Oak Show. The Oak Show earned its name many years ago as lumber company property, which was heavily logged, leaving mostly tan oaks behind. Locals made firewood from these trees and often gathered here for large bonfires and parties. Thus it became quite a “show.” Guests of the Oak Show event space can expect peaceful forest, ridge top views, open meadows, plentiful camping space, an outdoor shower, vintage pink and blue porcelain bathrooms, and a full kitchen and bar. A fire ring is provided during the rainy season. No fires are permitted during the dry season for the safety of everyone.

Amazing site tucked deep into Mendocino forest. Amazing place for larger groups, and excellent ammunition the property, including amazing bathrooms and a shower!

The Oak Show was amazing. Its such a beautiful property and the hosts have done an incredible job maintaining and making it as comfortable and easy to enjoy as possible. Having the kitchen, bathrooms and shower were such a nice addition for our group to have access to. The space is very expansive and private which was great. Would definitely recommend this property and we will definitely be back again!

This is what I would consider to be an ideal hipcamp setup. One large space that you have to yourself with pricing that goes up as you add additional people. The views and amenities (kitchen, bathrooms, outdoor shower, firepit) along with the proximity to the coast and the Anderson Valley are all great.

Full kitchen with high quality appliances, private but open to the sky outdoor shower, cute bathrooms, perfect fireplace and views over the nearby forests- and all just for you! I literally couldn’t recommend this place more highly- it’s our new favorite place / way to camp.

Awesome private space in Mendocino. Highly recommended for a place to tune out and see some of the north coast.
