16mi from Orick · 21 sites · Tents, RVs
Tucked away at the edge of the Klamath Glen neighborhood, our family-owned campground has been welcoming guests for over 40 years. Surrounded by towering trees in the heart of Redwood National Forest and just a few minutes from the Pacific Ocean, this is a true hidden gem on California’s North Coast.
We offer a rustic, old-fashioned camping experience. It’s a mix of open field and scattered trees, with both RVs and tent campers on site. Neighbors will be nearby, but the vibe is quiet and relaxed—especially in the off-season, when you might have the place nearly to yourself.
The Klamath River is just over the levee—a short walk from your site—with great access for fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water. The river is world-famous for salmon and steelhead fishing (license required). August and September are peak fishing months, so expect a few early morning engines from folks heading out.
We’re only 4 miles off Highway 101, far enough to enjoy peace and quiet without traffic noise. Wildlife is part of the experience here, so please stash your food at night to keep critters out of camp.
Outdoor lovers will find plenty to explore nearby—hiking and biking trails, the Trees of Mystery, Jet Boat Tours, and, of course, miles of redwood forest to get lost in.
A few things to note:
Firewood available
Cell service can be spotty, depending on your carrier. Free Wi-Fi is available and reaches most of the campground.
Electric car charging is $10 per charge. Please arrange ahead of time—50 amp service is limited, and you’ll need your own adapters.
Well-behaved pets are welcome.
Kids and laughter are always welcome.
Dry camping, 30 Amp and 50 Amp pull-through sites available if you are going to be coming in after 10pm , just shoot me a text and let me know and I will give you instructions as long as you send me the text before 9:00 PM

Further inland, miles of towering Douglas firs, glacial peaks, and hidden pools just wait to be discovered. Of course, the rivers are the main attraction. You can’t go two feet without tripping over a perfect swimming hole. After your dip, there are plenty of warm rocks to lay out on. Oh, and if the natural beauty doesn’t get you: this was the place where they first spotted Bigfoot. Yeah, the original footage that basically made everyone believe in the hairy bi-ped.

You will be staying at our 60 acres vineyard where we practice natural wine making. Surrounded by grape vines and olive trees, our property is a hidden gem with all the commodities (kitchen, bathroom, wifi, etc.).Willow Creek AVA (American Viticultural Area) was stablished in 1983 as one of the first in The United States. It is defined geographically by a section of the Trinity River Valley under 1000 feet elevation and running from just up river from Salyer at Coon Creek, extending a short distance down river from the town of Willow Creek to Kirkham Creek, making it the most northern wine region in California.

1/2 mile off of the 101. The address is 494 Indianola Cutoff (see GPS instructions below). We used this location to build our new home. Incredible location between Eureka and Arcata. Redwoods on property. Old growth stumps as well near campsite. On a county road but very quiet at night. Power available. We have 50-30 amp adapter available to use. Very private setting.
Full size construction porta potty for your personal use will NOT be available November 1- May 1. We recently created a spot for a tent as well. The site is level, gravel and well drained. Hard to find in Humboldt!
🌲🌲IMPORTANT GPS DIRECTIONS🌲🌲 To find us using GPS please type in 500 Indianola Cutoff… we share a driveway. Pull in then immediately to your left you will see your campsite ⛺️⛺️🚐🚐

This was such a cute spot. It had everything we needed for tent camping and Bo was a very generous host! Would definitely camp here again.

Beautiful piece of land. The instructions to get there could probably be simpler. However I was still able to get there first try. The place is right off the road so it’s not so private but in the evening/early morning no one really comes by. Still, its peaceful. We really enjoyed the scenery and creek :) thanks!

Nice spot! Easy to find and convenient location. The outdoor string lights were nice in the evening and there was plenty of space for our tents. Nice, responsive host. My friend was in the shower when the propane ran out, we texted Bo and he came with a new propane tank even though it was after 10 pm already!

We visited in late January and we essentially had the camp to ourselves. Patti was so welcoming and gave us the rundown right when we arrived. The showers were hot and clean, we got to pick our site, and the free Starlink WiFi was icing on the cake. We will definitely return again.

Wow! Exquisite, mostly flat, and very clear area. Silo toilet worked as expected, nice benefit to have so close to the site. Light was helpful for set up but a bit aggressive for camping ambiance. Road felt way longer than it was when we went up at night but was actually pretty chill. Didn’t try the fire but was intrigued and love the concept. Trees were great to wrap lights on. Jumping off the bathroom platform was fun but maybe a bit treacherous in the dark (there are stairs though). Trail and bench was very cute, the little stream burbled delightfully. Sunlight never really made it to us - time is an illusion. Would stay here again with more propane.

Great view for a camp spot! A little close neighbor wise but in a pinch it was great. I’m not sure the name of the woman at the front desk but she was incredibly friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the hot tub at night and hearing the sea lions. Recommend staying here and will hopefully be back one day!

This camp spot was safe and well-equipped. Friendly dog and responsive host. Running water, electricity, flat parking, a nice table, bench and chairs were setup. A little close to the road was my only complaint but good privacy. If I were in a tent, the road noise could be distracting but inside my van was perfectly fine. I would use this site again - not a lot of options in Arcata area - so I’m grateful this spot exists. Keep it clean and be respectful please so the host keeps hosting!

Patti is such a lovely host, and very welcoming. The sites are generous with all hookups which was appreciated. Despite the rain we enjoyed our stay, and the walks Patti suggested were great.

This place was amazing. We spent 3 nights here in early January and it was everything we wanted. Sleeping in the rain forests while its raining was amazing. Having a toilet was very convenient with kids. The directions to this camp spot at first looks intimidating but its really easy. We havent slept that well in awhile and having a private camp spot made it feel very intimate. You can have spotty cell receptions. We were able to stream some youtube for the kids. We will return in the summer for a longer stay.

I loved Patti’s site. Was lucky to have the place mostly to myself. Even booked a second night in late notice. Patti was accommodating and friendly. Directions were clear, bathrooms were clean. Showers were hot. Will stay again when I’m back in the area.

Had a last minute change of plans and Bo was so helpful in accommodating. The hot shower was exactly what was needed! The site is beautiful - a bit tough for our 19' vehicle, but any car/pickup/SUV would be perfect. The fire pit was beautiful and the option of having some shelter for any tent campers provides great peace of mind.
