There is a large deepwater pond with a rowboat (and frogs) orchard, stream, and many hiking trails my husband created and dirt roads winding through the property.

Enjoy the birds in the morning and frogs on the pond at night from your well equipped tent with queen mattress and comfy comforters, sitting space, and wood counter for food prep. ( propane ok) No fires allowed at site but enjoy the large communal fire pit and terrace steps away.

We only stayed for one night. The place is conveniently located near freeway. We appreciate the full hookup. Less to worry about when traveling. The only suggestion I would make is to make the direction and space number to the assigned space more clearly. But I think most places are like this. We arrived late so it took a little bit to look around for the assigned space to park.

My wife and I stayed on Cora’s land as part of our honeymoon roadtrip down Hwy 1. Such a special place. Cora was incredibly welcoming and kind - she made us feel at home. She shared some of her delicious stone fruit with us and we met some adorable animals. She also recommended some lovely hikes in the area. The bathroom and kitchen spaces were clean and cute. We were truck camping and there was plenty of level ground. We slept well under the stars and left early in the morning for our next day of fun. We hope to return again in the not too distant future!

We hiked the Lost Coast Trail and stayed at Sinkyone Camp the night before our departure. The accommodations were great. Cots were comfortable. The shower house and flush toilet were much appreciated.
The area is located at the top of the mountain with a great view of the sky. I saw the Milky Way for the first time. I'm 61 years old. It's something I will always remember.

Allan and Blu were an amazing host. Very friendly. Allan was in touch even before we were their guest. Allan showed us around as we arrived on our motorcycles and even helped us with extra sleeping bags as it was cold and windy. We enjoyed sharing stories with him over our morning coffee. This place is really a hidden gem. The views are stunning

As the name implies, this was a great base camp before our Lost Coast hike. The bell tents were perfect for getting our gear sorted. Plus it was nice to start the adventure on a cot rather than the ground. The views were stunning! There’s nothing like waking to a mountain sunrise. You feel like you’re a million miles away. Alan was an excellent camp host. He kept on communication with us before we arrived to ensure he was around to show us the ropes. Everything is off-grid, so there were a few things to learn. He made sure we had a nice fire later in the evening which was the perfect end to our day. Blu’s camp dog Ruka did her rounds to “run off the bears and mountain lions” according to Alan, but she had plenty of time for scratches and belly rubs. Things to note, there isn’t a lot of shade during the day, and the wind gets quite chilly and sometimes fierce at night. Definitely recommend layers! The directions weren’t terribly hard to follow, though GPS won’t get you all the way, so definitely screenshot or download their written directions beforehand. We would absolutely stay here again!

Lost Coast Basecamp was the perfect place to start our Lost Coast adventure! It’s about 25 minutes from Black Sands Beach where the shuttle picks up. Alan greeted us at the site and gave us a tour and orientation to the space. He was very accommodating and helped us feel right at home! All of the facilities at basecamp were super clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the cots in the bell tents were comfortable! We wished we could have stayed for longer. And the view is unbelievable!

Loved camping at the lost coast basecamp before and after our lost coast hike. The camp host Alan was very great and very attentive and gave us a great orientation and answered all our questions about the camp and the area. The tents are great and tall enough to stand in and cots are comfortable. The views are spectacular on top of the mountain and we had clear sky’s and warm sun even when it was foggy and damp at the coast. We had a fire each night, made s’mores and made good use of the kitchen for our dinner meals. I would stay there again.
