Within a 30-minute drive from the Hiouchi Visitor Center.

Welcome to the Wild West Coast! Where the mountains meet the sea. The campground is remotely located on private property and perfectly located for excursions to the Pacific Ocean, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, the Smith River National Recreation Area, and the Pacific Coast Ranges and mountain lakes such as the Devil's Punchbowl, Buck Lake, and Raspberry Lake. Relax and free you mind while camping on 120+ acres of private property under starry skies with almost no light or noise pollution. You are not alone on the mountain as other people live here in the wild. You only have access to the campground and a nearby pond. A locked gate with code access. The road to get there is two and a half miles up the mountain, the first mile is paved and the other mile and a half is gravel. The road is maintained by the county and used daily by others that live and work here. In the surrounding area you can enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, surfing, beachcombing, birdwatching, and countless other outdoor activities. French Hill Trail is a few more miles up the mountain road. The campsites have picnic tables and fire rings, and campers are provided with 5 gallons of potable water. An outdoor, COLD-water Artesian shower, out in the open mountain air with the wild things and an outhouse with a compost toilet are also provided. Bundles of firewood are available for an extra charge when you book your campsite. The campsites are set within a deciduous and pine forest at about 1913 feet in elevation. There is a pond on the property, but its purpose is for wildlife habitat ONLY, so water activities are NOT allowed. NO swimming, NO fishing, NO boating, NO trapping, etc. The wild things live here! The property owner has a dog, three cats, and a menagerie of yard birds such as turkeys, peacocks, guinea hens, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. They do make noise! Kirk has lived off-grid for over twenty years and holds a wealth of information about the Gasquet/Del Norte County area. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the property is that it has had documented Sasquatch encounters over the past twenty years that have been published in "Tribal Bigfoot" (D. Paulides 2009). Kirk can tell you about his experiences with this and other phenomena on the property.

Tent site · Sleeps 4

Pitch your tent or sleep in your vehicle. BEAR campsite is one of the smaller campsites. Enough room for one vehicle and small tent area. Our campsites cater to adult travelers without children. You will be provided a picnic table, water, and a fire ring. Campers will have access to a communal composting toilet and a COLD water artesian shower by the pond. The terrain in the campsites is rocky dirt with pine needles and other forest floor vegetation. We have removed the poison oak from the campsites themselves, but you should know what it looks like and avoid it when exploring the surrounding brush and woods throughout northern California. The area has been the host to mining and timbering over the past couple of centuries. The Endor scenes in "Return of the Jedi" were filmed in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.

Great spot if you have the place to yourself or would be very cool to book the whole place with a big group. Sites are very little close together if there are other campers. Be sure to read the description, Kirk has lots of info there (there are roosters early in the morning that will be your alarm clock). I think it’s a little pricey for what it is but it is a beautiful spot that felt safe and secluded. Kirk was great, provided potable water and was very quick to respond he also let us stay in a different spot than what we booked to have a little more space from other campers there at the same time as us.

Easy to book! Needed a safe place to rest during a road trip and found this site. It was clean and well maintained. Would come again for a longer stay 💗

Beautiful property. I enjoyed my short stay thoroughly. If I were to stay longer, I would stay in Cougar. Bear was perfect to back into, set up a small tent and stay overnight.
