Chamise Camp

Three starry nights at lost coast

We are a family of 4+1 pet, stayed three nights. The camp setup itself is very nice, clean restrooms, showers, community kitchen has everything you,d need. We settled right in. The campsite is Very scenic, the boy had a good time with his camera and lenses. Blu and host Alan make it a point to talk to all guests and are very helpful in making the stay nice and providing tips for ur stay. The owners dog guards the property from wild animals but is very nice and friendly. Drive to local hiking and food is very convenient. Some roads are unpaved, some good driving sense helps here shade is lacking on the tent sites, although there is hammocks and firepit that are shaded. We travel with a canopy so it wasnt bad. We,d definitely stay here again. Finding our way to the camp in the night was easy although the signs were hard to locate, just be sure to follow the directions. Do plan for mosquitoes, the second night there was no wind and the mosquitoes had a blast (even with repellant spray). Its that time of the year and mosquitoes are to be expected. We got lucky for the two nights there were none well past midnight.

Sinkyone Camp

Mtn Top Summer Camp for Adults!

The Lost Coast BaseCamp was WAY more than we needed from a campsite, but in no way are we upset we landed there. WHAT A FREAKING COOL SPOT! Blu, and his co-host, Alan, have created something very special at Lost Coast... a true base camp! We booked this site so we didn't have to contend with the crazy packed campgrounds in Shelter Cove so we could explore the lost coast - and we landed the best basecamp available. There are 4 big tents with cots, a 'land yacht', a bus, and more... the site has a communal kitchen with anything you could need, fully flush toilets, and hot water shower rooms. Plus, delicious fresh spring water for drinking. We came in our pop-up camper and were the only guests for the evening so we had free roaming access to the entire camp... all I could think about was coming back with a group of friends and creating a summer camp experience. The star-watching was incredible, too. Alan was a gracious and friendly host and made sure we had a most excellent adventure!

Bear Butte Camp

A beautiful, clean site with a gorgeous view of the sunrise over the Lost Coast hills. We wanted to ensure we would have a site within a short distance from hiking and the beach and this campsite met our expectations. It was such a relief after driving through 104º heat to arrive to hammocks under the trees and have a large tent with cots already set up. Blu and Alan were great hosts, warned us about te heat and recommended a spot to cool off in the river on the way up. Definitely recommend Lost Coast Basecamp for a peaceful spot with very comfortable accommodations.

Sinkyone Camp

Beautiful Site, Friendly Hosts

We had a wonderful stay on Blu's land! My only complaint: it was just one night, so too short. The views were amazing, and the camp extremely clean and comfortable. Communication was excellent, and we were able to find the site easily. There were clean showers and bathrooms, and a fully-equipped kitchen, as well as some whimsical touches that make the site really special. The tents were nice and sturdy, and the cots comfortable. The other tents are situated fairly close, but the night we were there, there was only one other family and there was an open site between us, so we had plenty of space and privacy. We definitely want to stay again!
