A beautiful, private bend in the Van Duzen River, our riverfront property features a secret waterfall and is nestled in the heart of Humboldt County, just minutes from the Redwood State Parks and a short drive from Ruth Lake. Our property is an organic, mom-and-pop, fully licensed permaculture farm where we grow cannabis and food, complete with seven goats and a sprinkling of chickens. We offer beautiful views, relaxing riverfront camping, kayaking, and more. Our place caters to tent campers, motorcycle campers, van lifers, and small- to medium-sized RVs. We can provide an extension cord and water, but we do not have septic hookups. We also offer our VW camper bus as a place to sleep for an additional fee (sleeps up to four). Well-behaved pets are welcome, though please keep in mind that we also have livestock, as well as dogs and cats. We don't want you to feel limited to just the trees and river. We have a large, flat yard with a giant fire pit and a trampoline for the kids. While we're 30 minutes from town, we're fortunate to be just 1 mile from the Swains Flat Outpost convenience store for those last-minute necessities.

Our family stayed 3 days and 2 nights at Laughing Goat River Retreat. We had a fabulous time! Andy was easy to communicate with and promptly answered all our questions. During the day we went kayaking on the river and climbed to see the waterfall. At night we'd build a roaring camp fire and watch the stars. So beautiful! Thank you!

Volkswagen Camper Experience

We loved camping on Andrew’s property! It was so beautiful and quiet. Andrew was there to greet us and show us around. His little dog Gucci even spent the evening with us. This property is highly recommended!!!! We wish we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy the private river and hike up to the waterfall! And we are honored to be Andrew’s first hip campers!
