Pitch a tent or park your RV right off the main road to the spectacular Lost Coast of California. Our property is located 5 minutes from Cape Mendocino beach and 4 minute drive to downtown Petrolia, we are surrounded by scenic pastoral views and ancient forest. We have multiple camping options and a wood chip driveway that can accommodate a couple RV's (or vehicle camping). Our land has fields and forest, a seasonal creek, and incredible star gazing. We are right on the Mattole Road, so the RV spots and campsites close to the road with easy access will see cars, but we have 26 acres including plenty of tucked away spots that can be walked to and are far from the road if you are seeking seclusion. We are working on developing campsites, but for now, you can have your choice of where to camp on the property. You can sleep out in an open meadow or in the forest under the Pepperwood trees. This is a working farm, so there are livestock and everything that comes along with them on the property! We have sheep, goats, geese, ducks, and chickens. The sheep and goats free range most of the time on the property, but are accostomed to people and usually either keep their distance or stop by to say hi. We have building and ecological restoration projects on the property as well. Our property has been farmed and ranched since the late 1860's and has a beautiful old barn. As the most recent stewards of the land, our family is starting a small organic farm on it utilizing regenerative agricultural methods. It is a beautiful place and a work in progress! For now we can offer a rustic outhouse, fresh spring water, a sink for dishes, and Wi-Fi access to our guests, as well as knowledge of the local area. Downtown Petrolia has a general store (sells gas but only accepts cash), Sunday Farmer's Market at the community center, a pioneer cemetery to explore, the gorgeous Mattole River for fishing and swimming, and access to the Mattole Beach. *Note: this is called the Lost Coast for a reason. It is gorgeous and remote, but the roads are winding, steep, and poorly maintained in some areas. We only our two wheel drive Prius out here, so the roads are definitely navigable, just a bit intense.

My aunt and uncle bought the property in 1947 from its first European settler, Paolo Gabrielli, who immigrated in early 1914 from northern Italy with slips of his grapevine in the lining of his coat. (The grapevine still grows over the back deck.) What can you expect? Quiet, beauty, birdsong, ocean roar, widely spaced campsites (only 5 on the 5 acres set aside for camping). Free firewood, local tips on travel and where to hike or what to visit. Or total solitude. Bring your (most non-cattle-chasing breeds) dogs if you wish (males must be neutered). Starlink internet. Walk to the beach of our wild ocean along a no-shoulder country road. We have no visible neighbors, no ambient light or sound. The air is clean and clear and the water is potable from an artesian spring on the property. No electricity at the sites and no generators allowed. (Charge your electronics at the farmhouse.) We offer homemade soup, cobbler, fresh bread, morning coffee as extras; you can order with the booking. The Victorian village of Ferndale is three miles east, as is a beautifully maintained 110-acre town wilderness with hiking trails called Russ Park. A 150-year-old cemetery slopes down a hillside & is filled with 19th century charm and history. Shops and restaurants welcome visitors. There are several bars/a wine bar/and a historic saloon that's as old boy as it was in 1890. A music venue in a restored 19th century church has amazing acoustics and attracts international talent as a top-notch venue (sessions are filmed for PBS) midway between Portland and San Francisco. So, it's a mix of town and country, village and farm, wilderness and bewilderedness. Safe, safe, safe, meaning: you can leave your belongings in your site and when you come back... they're still there :) One caveat: please arrive before dark. There is no electricity in the campgrounds, and no generators are allowed. You will not be able to reach (or maybe even locate) your site without disturbing others. This is a place of beauty, love, and laughter; we welcome the world.

15mi from King Range National Conservation Area · 1 site · Tent, RV

Hawkhaven is a 9-acre mature redwood forest defined by a year-round creek where two species of salmon spawn. If you're quiet, you might see river otters, deer, foxes, great blue herons, wood ducks, turtles, mergansers, grebes, mink, rabbits, raccoons, opossums, and more. The land is called Hawkhaven because a pair of peregrine falcons nest in the cliffs above the creek. In some seasons, you can see and hear them hunting and raising their young. Bears occasionally wander through, so please store your food carefully. If you visit during blackberry season, you're welcome to pick all the blackberries you want. The Eel River is just 5 minutes away, and two beautiful beaches, Shelter Cove and Black Sands Beach, are about 45 minutes away (they look closer on the map than they actually are because the road winds quite a bit). There is a good natural foods store in town, as well as two more traditional supermarkets. Dogs are welcome as long as you clean up after them and don't allow them to chase wildlife. Although the property itself is a wild forest, it is easy to access and located just off a paved road. The driveway is a bit rough, so larger RVs should proceed slowly. The campsites cannot be seen from the road. One campsite receives some sun, one is in full shade, and two others offer a mix of sun and shade depending on the time of day. Summers here can be very hot, so the shade is a welcome relief. 🦆 🐿️ 🦋 🦌 🐇 🐢 🦦 🦅 🦝 There are no amenities here. This space is intended for completely self-sufficient Hipcampers seeking a truly rustic experience. There is no potable water or indoor space. A brand-new basic outhouse is available. Cell phone reception is possible but can be spotty. Because of the huge trees, you may need to walk up to the road to get a stronger signal. There are no trash cans on-site.

Weekend Trip to Riverwalk RV Park

We only stayed for one night. The place is conveniently located near freeway. We appreciate the full hookup. Less to worry about when traveling. The only suggestion I would make is to make the direction and space number to the assigned space more clearly. But I think most places are like this. We arrived late so it took a little bit to look around for the assigned space to park.

Such a relaxing and beautiful campground set inside the center's grounds. Sitting and watching 7 deer eating nearby as well as a family of turkeys. I recommend this place to anyone. The restrooms are also quite nice and extremely clean.

Weekend Trip to Gomde Buddhist Meditation Center

This is a truly beautiful place, offering a great location to explore the coast or the redwood forests to the north. The bathroom and shower facilities are really excellent, it is near 101 (with no traffic noise), and the people who care for the land are very helpful.

Weekend Trip to Little Haven Gardens

Laurie was there to greet me and explain her site and surrounding area. There was a nice place to sit, decorated with fresh beautiful flowers. I enjoyed a nice conversation, able to pick some fruit and enjoy seeing the creek that runs through the back of the property. Close to the Land Trust which I drove to and enjoyed before leaving.
