Hamilton Barn Environmental Camp

3 sites · RV, Tent

Also open from April to October, Hamilton Barn is the one of two environmental campgrounds in the park (Baxter being the second). These sites are located 6 miles west of the Avenue of the Giants on Mattole road, and are known for their seclusion and privacy. All 3 sites are walk-in, and have no drinking water, but campers are supplied with a fire ring, bear locker, picnic table and pit toilet. Campsite #3 is about 50 yards from the parking lot, Campsite 4 is 150 yards, and campsite 5 is about 200 yards away. This is a great spot to really enjoy the park without the hustle and bustle of a more populated campground.

My aunt and uncle bought the property in 1947 from its first European settler, Paolo Gabrielli, who immigrated in early 1914 from northern Italy with slips of his grapevine in the lining of his coat. (The grapevine still grows over the back deck.) What can you expect? Quiet, beauty, birdsong, ocean roar, widely spaced campsites (only 5 on the 5 acres set aside for camping). Free firewood, local tips on travel and where to hike or what to visit. Or total solitude. Bring your (most non-cattle-chasing breeds) dogs if you wish (males must be neutered). Starlink internet. Walk to the beach of our wild ocean along a no-shoulder country road. We have no visible neighbors, no ambient light or sound. The air is clean and clear and the water is potable from an artesian spring on the property. No electricity at the sites and no generators allowed. (Charge your electronics at the farmhouse.) We offer homemade soup, cobbler, fresh bread, morning coffee as extras; you can order with the booking. The Victorian village of Ferndale is three miles east, as is a beautifully maintained 110-acre town wilderness with hiking trails called Russ Park. A 150-year-old cemetery slopes down a hillside & is filled with 19th century charm and history. Shops and restaurants welcome visitors. There are several bars/a wine bar/and a historic saloon that's as old boy as it was in 1890. A music venue in a restored 19th century church has amazing acoustics and attracts international talent as a top-notch venue (sessions are filmed for PBS) midway between Portland and San Francisco. So, it's a mix of town and country, village and farm, wilderness and bewilderedness. Safe, safe, safe, meaning: you can leave your belongings in your site and when you come back... they're still there :) One caveat: please arrive before dark. There is no electricity in the campgrounds, and no generators are allowed. You will not be able to reach (or maybe even locate) your site without disturbing others. This is a place of beauty, love, and laughter; we welcome the world.

Hawkhaven

18mi from Hamilton Barn Environmental Camp · 1 site · Tent, RV

Hawkhaven is a 9-acre mature redwood forest defined by a year-round creek where two species of salmon spawn. If you're quiet, you might see river otters, deer, foxes, great blue herons, wood ducks, turtles, mergansers, grebes, mink, rabbits, raccoons, opossums, and more. The land is called Hawkhaven because a pair of peregrine falcons nest in the cliffs above the creek. In some seasons, you can see and hear them hunting and raising their young. Bears occasionally wander through, so please store your food carefully. If you visit during blackberry season, you're welcome to pick all the blackberries you want. The Eel River is just 5 minutes away, and two beautiful beaches, Shelter Cove and Black Sands Beach, are about 45 minutes away (they look closer on the map than they actually are because the road winds quite a bit). There is a good natural foods store in town, as well as two more traditional supermarkets. Dogs are welcome as long as you clean up after them and don't allow them to chase wildlife. Although the property itself is a wild forest, it is easy to access and located just off a paved road. The driveway is a bit rough, so larger RVs should proceed slowly. The campsites cannot be seen from the road. One campsite receives some sun, one is in full shade, and two others offer a mix of sun and shade depending on the time of day. Summers here can be very hot, so the shade is a welcome relief. 🦆 🐿️ 🦋 🦌 🐇 🐢 🦦 🦅 🦝 There are no amenities here. This space is intended for completely self-sufficient Hipcampers seeking a truly rustic experience. There is no potable water or indoor space. A brand-new basic outhouse is available. Cell phone reception is possible but can be spotty. Because of the huge trees, you may need to walk up to the road to get a stronger signal. There are no trash cans on-site. We ask that you pack out everything you bring in.
