Group trip
We had a great time here. The location is very private and scenic, far away from anyone else. Brian was very helpful in answering any questions and detailed in instructions for the stay. Based on the hills and road surface coming in and out, definitely would make sure to have 4WD and good tire tread if there was any hint of rain on the roads. Our cars were fine, but all were midsize SUV or more capable. Will definitely plan to come back in the future!

Jonah was super friendly and helpful both prior to and upon arrival helping me find the best spot and showng me where things are and amswering any questions. The provided porta toilet was clean and close by, too. The location was perfect for what I needed on my trip north, a short but beautiful jaunt off my main path, and was friendly to our dogs, though beware the relative lack of fencing if your dog likes to wander far! Thanks, Jonah! I'll be back!

10 ft pop-up camper
It’s eclectic! Built in the 50s, this place has that retro charm that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard. My 20-year-old son, my soul-dog, and I spent Labor Day weekend here, and that little dipping pool was a total lifesaver in the brutal heat.
We brought our trusty popup camper from the 90s (no AC—she’s a vintage gal), so we went full MacGyver with a shade cover, a napping pad, and two “box” fans. Worked like a charm for a solid nap. When we weren’t pretending to be human popsicles, we played ping pong, cornhole, and enjoyed the slower pace. Walmart, gas, and food right across the street made it super convenient.
The highway is close, but it didn’t bother us at all—kind of like grown-up white noise. I’m also terrified of the dark, but here it felt just right: dark enough for an insane star show, but not so dark I thought Bigfoot was lurking.
Fishing was the main reason I booked this place, and it delivered. Each site shares a ramp with one other, small but perfect for casting a line or tying up a paddle board. It’s made for relaxing. I did spot a few teenagers looking bored, but I think they were just in the “too cool for fun” stage.
Lisa was wonderful—helpful, welcoming, and full of history about the place. We had no issues at all, and I’ll definitely be back!

We loved our 3 night stay at Clear Lake Campground! Lisa was the best and our space by the creek was so picturesque. Peaceful with great birdwatching, a fun little pool, catfish & bass fishing and a games area where we played ping-pong & volleyball. The restrooms were clean and the RV hookups easy. We’ll be back : )

Great stay on Jonah’s property. Beautiful meadow with view over the hills.. Jonah is super accommodating and easy to communicate. Just a short drive to “downtown” Occidental, great hiking close by. We will be back!

Had a peaceful solo stay in my camper van at Jonah’s spot. The property is quiet and grounding, and once we connected, Jonah was kind and welcoming. I appreciated the space to do my own thing and felt safe and supported throughout. Would return!

We have enjoyed our stay at this campground along Cache Creek. The sites are well shaded, level and spacious. Full hookups, clean restrooms, refreshing pool (around 3-4 ft deep), playground, pier, and nice common areas make it a great place to relax and enjoy. It is in a convenient location but remains more private. Sites have a picnic table and fire ring. Wood is available for purchase. Definitely recommend.

Lisa is a wonderful campsite host. The location right on Cache Creek is really quite special as is the small docks for water access from your own campsite. The site is good, though it's a little tight in terms of space between sites. Also, be aware that the southernmost sites can be a bit noisy with the roadway nearby.

I loved tent camping on Jonah’s land. He was right there to greet me upon arrival to give me the low-down. I went up with my dog to get away from the July 4th activities which are intense where I live. The land and surrounding area is gorgeous. I took my dog on a long walk along the roads before sunset. We spotted a coyote roaming about just before turning in for the night, but it wasn’t threatening at all. There were other campers while I was there as well, which was nice.
I felt safe which is paramount as a single woman.

19 ft pop-up camper
We had a great overnight at Jonah’s! We were struggling to find a place to stay on July 4th that was 1. On our way down the coast and 2. Wasn’t unbelievably expensive because of the holiday, and Jonah’s worked out great! He was incredibly welcoming and you could tell he wanted us to have a nice stay.
Jonah’s isn't a place where you’ll have complete privacy, but we knew that going in. There were two other groups of campers staying and we were all in the same area and able to see one another, this wasn’t an issue for us and everyone was very respectful, quiet, and friendly. Getting there google took us down a very steep and windy road, so if you have a longer camping setup / trailer be aware of the route you take - this wasn’t a Jonah issue but a google one, but wanted to share!

A place to put our tent in beautiful Occidental. There was a nice view of the mountains from our spot and the huge bottlebrush bushes were in bloom.

Great location, short walk or easy bike ride into town. Quiet, private, no-frills place to park our trailer while we explored the area. Hookups functional and easy to use. Arthur was a great host, gave us good tips and recommendations for wine tasting, food, and activities.
