~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **PLEASE NOTE** Construction of our new bathrooms will be taking place during the months of October and November 2024. Construction will take place between the hours of 7:30am and 5:30pm, Monday through Thursday, and it will be noisy. We apologize for the disruption, but look forward to being able to offer this amenity to our campers in the future! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jug Handle Creek Farm and Nature Center is a nonprofit with a five minute walk to Jug Handle State Reserve, Jug Handle beach and the Ecological Staircase trail. We offer 11 unique campsites with plenty of space and privacy. Each site has two picnic tables, a fire ring, parking for two cars and plenty of space for your tents. Our 33 acres include a native plant nursery, community gardens, forests, meadows, and nature trails. Our site has lots of nature trails, is peaceful and beautiful and just a 5-minute walk to Jug Handle Beach and the Jug Handle Preserve. Our Mission: We offer a welcoming and supportive environment for people of all backgrounds to explore nature and connect with the natural word. Nature stewardship is central to our non-profit mission and as an organization we are engaged in many nature restoration projects throughout Mendocino County. We also provide a supportive learning environment for nature education for disadvantaged youth during the school year. If you teach k-12 and would like to bring your classroom to Jug Handle contact us about special rates and our immersive nature education programs.

Close walk to the beach
This site was great seems like more qork is beong done to the campground, a close walk to the beach was what made this site for us. We were the only campers , maybe its the time of the year ,but it looks like all the sites would be a good choice. I would definitely camp here again

Perfect spot to camp when passing through the Mendocino area. I would stay again. It was quiet and close to some great hikes/beach access across route 1. There is also a farm cat who came to say hello to me while I was cooking dinner.

Will be back
#6 is an open sunny site, great for charging with solar panels. Some comments noted it’s not as private but I was in a van and parked it crossways and it felt fine. Jughandle is a great, smaller alternative to the big state parks around Mendocino and the park and beach are beautiful. Portapotties were super clean, good water available, other campers were all friendly. Good vibe all around. If you’re buying firewood pick it up on your way in
