#1 - Shady & Big

Nice open camp space adjacent to deeper forest up the Jug Handle Ecological Staircase, and short walk to Jug Handle Cove. Conveniently located a few miles from either Mendocino or Ft Bragg. A very pleasant vibe

#7 - Large Sunny Family Spot

Worth your time and money.

Close to others, but nice trees, nice fire ring, table. Site is being developed, but trails are great, beach is a nice walk, and the camp is up out of the beach wind and wetness. The proximity to the reserve and the beach is really nice, walking without cars, or highway crossing is ideal. Site is very clean, plenty of shade and space for a family. Loved it, will be back.
