Quiet, with minimal traffic, this site offers walking distance access to downtown Arcata and the Arcata Community Forest. A mere 30-minute drive will take you to the breathtaking Redwood National Park, while CAL POLY Humboldt is just a 10-minute stroll away. Our site comfortably accommodates a 20ft transit/van/small RV, as showcased by the pictured van. Located off-street, it provides a safe and tranquil parking spot. Access to the site is through an alleyway, ensuring privacy and convenience for guests.Our site is the driveway for our house. It is situated off an alley with no through traffic. The location is suburban and in a safe neighborhood. Very quiet and level driveway! This spot is walking distance to downtown Arcata and the community redwood forest. Cal Poly Humboldt is a short walk. The redwood national park is a 30 minute drive. There is Healthsport gym just down the hill that offers day passes for the facilities. The Arcata community pool offer day passes as well. The picture posted is a 20ft long Sprinter van that can easily pull in and out of the driveway. There’s also a bonfire pit and seating in our garden area that you are welcome to use! The front yard is a nice area to throw a blanket and have a picnic. If you have any questions about our epic spot or length of rig fitting, reach out.

Oceanview Parking & Private
Wonderful host! Went above and beyond providing us with local information. Let us know local baseball team the Crabs playing that night in case we were looking for something to do which was so nice! This is the most gorgeous well maintained driveway and garden I have ever seen. Looks like a work of art. Even a small water fountain flowing that was just lovely to listen to. Very easily accessed and I hope to stay here again one day soon. Can’t say enough positive things about this location. Very quiet secluded location all to yourself as described. You can even see the ocean from the driveway which was wonderful.

Sadly, our rig was a bit too big to make the 45 degree turn from the alley into his driveway. He was really understanding about it, and it was a good deal.

This is a beautiful quiet driveway. It is private, there is electric & water hookups if you need. Safe area to walk your dog at night. There is a laundry dryer vent right next to the parking spot, so if you are sensitive to dryer vent effluvium, you should mention it to the host; I’m sure he would have waited til I left to dry laundry but I didn’t mention anything

Definitely Recommend!
Jeffrey's drive way was a quiet and safe place for us to park our campervan overnight! Easy to find and great communication! The succulent wall was amazing and the snails on them entertained us in the morning. 😜

PEACEFUL, great location!
We had an outstanding stay . Our motor home is 25 foot Dynamax on a sprinter chassis. It has a full slide ! No problem in the driveway, and it was level! Ask Jeffrey for tips on getting in driveway - it took driving skill but was worth it. Water, electric and a private cozy firepit area with trees , veggies and plants …. And a water view ! The host and his small daughter joined us by invitation and were charming - even shared his firewood! We would go back ……also his home snd driveway are minutes to Arcata town square in a charming established area. Easy to find off of Hwy 101. Thank you Jeffrey !

A great option for a self contained traveler. Location is off the street, quiet, and with no bright lights in view. Host Jeffrey was friendly and offered access to outside water and electricity. Walking distance or short drive to most parts of Arcata. It fit my needs and I slept well. The community forest is a must do if stopping here. It's a locally managed redwood forest that's as impressive as the state parks, and just up the hill from this Hipcamp. The nearby marsh is peaceful and good for bird watching as well. There's a great farmer's market in the town square on Saturday mornings. There's even a handful of Victorian houses worth looking at. Arcata has quite a lot to offer for a small town and is worth the stop over during an extended road trip.
