Willow Creek hidden glamping gem!
We booked RiverView glamping dome for memorial day weekend, after finding out there was nothing available on the coast. Had totally forgotten about Kinetic Sculpture race, an annual Humboldt County event every Memorial Day weekend.
What a stroke of luck! This little privately owned camping area is so quaint. There are actually two places to stay. The see-through dome with the perpetual sky view, and a larger canvas tent that has an amazing river view and a sweet little deck to hang out on. For our second night, we had our choice of either but opted to stay in the canvas tent because It had more space and the river view was so good!
Our host Johanna (Jo) Was very communicative and helpful with any questions we asked. On the second evening, she came to clean the bathroom facility and introduced herself and was very friendly. She even went so far as to make us a campfire! She went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable.
The site has a shared bathroom, outdoor shower which is super groovy, and a functional kitchen with enough gear to cook simple meals. There are even some spices, etc. Including some coffee and creamer, which really saved the day! There are a lot of little touches that give this place character. Well done.
Overall, this was one of the best stays I have had On the road. I’m not really big on camping, but The Riverview glamping area is totally doable. And even if you are, it still feels like camping.
Highly recommend. Thank you, Johanna.
