Enjoy a private island with a naturist beach. Bbq and disc golf basket. Hammocking trees at the viewpoint. Make campfire connections and find yourself here.
Guests love it here: "We stayed two nights at Curley Creek Canyon and loved the experience! Jerrett was a wonderful host and met us upon arrival with great recommendations of places to explore on his beautiful property. The camp sites are clean, private, and have fire pits, and benches provided. We took the roped trail down to the creek (bring gloves it’s a bit steep) and saw large groups of salmon swim upstream. This time of year is magical with the dropping leafs and lush moss/fungus sightings. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick getaway from the city to connect to nature. Thanks, Jerrett for the experience and look forward to our next visit!"

Manchester State Park
5. Manchester State Park
State park 592mi from Southworth · 2 sites
Manchester State Park features a beach, sand dunes, and flat grasslands, with nearly 18,000 feet of ocean frontage. The beach line curves gently to form a "catch basin" for sea debris, which accounts for the volume of driftwood found here. Five miles of gentle, sandy beach stretches southward towards the Point Arena Lighthouse.
One of the main attractions is the excellent steelhead fishing in the park’s two streams, Brush Creek and Alder Creek. The park features a variety of coastal wildflowers, including sea pinks, poppies, lupines, baby blue eyes and blue irises. The park provides habitat for tundra swans. The San Andreas Fault runs into the sea at the park.
The park takes its name from the village of Manchester, which is located in Mendocino County on Coast Highway 1 about seven miles north of Point Arena.
This is an area of rich grazing lands, flocks of sheep and herds of cattle which add a pastoral note to some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the world.

*Tent Camping Only* If you plan to sleep in your car, this is not the campground for you.
Tuck into your private campsite amongst the trees with sweeping field and farm views. Sites are spaced apart from eachother, nestled along a forested tree line. These tent sites are about a 300ft walk from the parking lot, and vehicles can not access the sites. Each site offers a picnic table and fire pit.
*Please pay attention to the fact that these are walk-in sites, and you'll be hauling your camping items from the parking area over uneven ground. We provide a cart to help tote your items, if needed. Pack accordingly*
There is a communal central deck for camper's use, with a sink, propane stove, some cooking utensils, power outlet and a hose bib. A communal port-a-potty is available to campers.
The working farm fields are not open to campers, but can be admired as a backdrop. Wave hi to any farmers you see out there working! A You-Pick flower patch and farm stand at the entrance of the property are open for frolicking, picture-taking and flower-picking seasonally.
You'll see bald eagles, hear owls and watch deer pass through your camp. But you are only about a 5-10 min walk from town! This does mean you'll often hear music from events on weekend evenings, and plane traffic does fly overhead. Vashon is quiet and full of nature, but you're not out in the middle of nowhere! We hope you enjoy all that there is to do here, and create some great stories :)

Wholly Fig's campsite is a lovely spot set under some maple trees. It was private, quiet, and comfortable. Parking pad was perfectly level for our van. We enjoyed the sunset at the picnic table where the hosts had left some fresh-picked berries, herbs and a sprig of flowers. The hosts were wonderful. They welcomed us as we arrived and again when we departed. This was just what we were hoping for. And we were able to purchase a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers at their farm stand when we left. Thank you!

We spent the weekend here and it was everything we hoped for.
For our 4-year-old: nightly campfires with s’mores, all-day hammock time, and trails that were just adventurous enough for little legs.
For the parents: we set up our tent and were blown away by the romantic light vibe. With campfires so peaceful and beautiful.
The host is amazing—instructions were clear, communication was easygoing.
Such a great escape from Seattle. Can’t recommend this spot enough. We’ll be back!

Alison & Brian are caring and considerate hosts. Their new hipcamp offers very clean facilities on a beautiful property. While they’re still working on developing their campsites and hipcamp offering, I would only expect people’s experiences to improve over time. It’s obvious how much they care. For sauna lovers, the sauna is great and gets plenty hot. The cold plunge tubs are refreshing. The shower has hot water and great pressure. It’s quiet at night. Two big towns within 15 minutes, and yet it feels more like a remote or country destination.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this campsite! Since it’s their first year in operation, the hosts are still fine-tuning things and are very welcoming of feedback. The amenities were a major highlight—the sauna and cold plunge were absolutely delightful. While there is only one communal firepit and picnic table for the whole camp, it ended up being a wonderful way to meet fellow campers. They even had all the firewood, kindling, and fire starters thoughtfully prepped and ready to go. A quick tip for future guests: because the campground is still being established, the actual tent areas are very dirt-heavy. I highly recommend wearing closed-toe shoes and socks rather than sandals around camp. However, the upper common area with the sauna, firepit, and picnic table is grassy and relaxing. Also, the individual campsites aren't numbered yet, so it took us a minute to figure out exactly where to pitch our tent. Overall, it’s a great location, and I'm sure it will only continue to get better with time!
