This is a really fun retreat, right on a great bike trail! The town of Humbolt was also so fun and easily accessible.

RVing here was so easy and convenient! No leveling was required and the spot was shaded. The pond, green spaces, and hammocks were great. The ease of biking everywhere else was fantastic.

Base Camp was my first experience with my new-to-me camper and Hipcampers and it was a great experience! Base Camp is set up very well...easy to get in and out of - especially for anyone with little experience. The pull through spots are very wide. Although I didn't get to use the free to use bicycles or canoes on this trip I did check them out and they are very well taken care of. The Camp was peaceful and although it's just off the roadway it was very quiet with very little road noise. I will be back!

Weekend Trip to BaseCamp Humboldt

We really enjoyed our stay! The campsites were nice and level, making setup easy. Campers have access to a beautiful pond surrounded by trees — perfect for relaxing. The paddle boats and provided life jackets were a fun bonus, and we loved having bikes available and easy access to the nearby bike trail. A couple of things could be improved: the grounds could use more frequent mowing, and a larger trash receptacle for campers would be helpful. Overall, it’s a peaceful and enjoyable spot, and we’d definitely come back!

We stayed 4 nights in an RV pull through. We appreciated the easy parking and full hookups. There's a cute lake with kayaks you can use, a pool table and a kids adventure area. We would stay again.

BaseCamp Humboldt is a great place for those who wish to ride the Southwind rail-trail, as we did, with the trail being directly adjacent to the facility. Directions were clear and the facility well maintained, with lots of things to do on-site.

My wife and I loved it. We were passing through and needed a spot for the night . Found Base Camp on HipCamp and loved it. We had the property to ourselves, after dinner took a walk around the very well kept grounds. There are bikes and canoes for use to people staying and about 8 little cabins for a glamping getaway. Would definitely stay again only next time longer. Jon was great with communication too! Thanks Jon for a relaxing stop.

Base Camp was an amazing weekend getaway and we wished we had another day there! The bathrooms were amazing and bike repair building is a great amenity which also includes a room with pool table, couches, and kitchen. We met Jon and his wife during our stay and it was evident they love having this space for people to enjoy, great conversation and stories! The pond was a great place to sit and enjoy coffee in the morning & dinner in the evening. Our doggies also gave this two paws up for the open space to walk around and explore.

Great to have full hookups with easy access. The property is incredible and the adjacent rail to trail is great for connecting to activities in the area. We also enjoyed the easy walk/bike 1 mile into town for some delicious coffee. Jon and family were lovely to chat with, we hope to come back!
