Stories from the community

1 night at Woods, Waves & Wags/Hipcamp

The host was great and welcomed us to our site and provided us with the rundown. As far as previous reviews, this isn’t a state campground, nor is it your upscale glamping. This place is like staying in your mothers yard in a free spirited and good intentions environment. The only downside is being next to the hwy, granted, it’s a great location and if you bring ear plugs it wont be a problem.

2 nights at The Swimming Hole On Red Cap Creek

The sound of the creek will take away all your stress. The swimming hole is beyond epic. They went above and beyond with fresh baked cookies and veggies from their garden! He even brought us extra ice and offered all the firewood we needed. I have a big dog and they even put there dog away so mine could be free! The horse is just walking around the property and is super nice. Thanks again for an amazing stay!🇺🇸

3 nights at Klamath’s Best Kept Secret

Patti’s place was quiet and had all the necessities! We stayed midweek and pretty much had the place to ourselves! The showers were hot and the bathrooms clean, there’s a great outdoor sink set up for dishes and she even had a washer and dryer available to use. She is the sweetest and this place is centrally located between the parks, great if you’re trying to fit a lot in in a small timeframe.

1 night at The Swimming Hole On Red Cap Creek

Loved this spot! Great fresh spring water and a beeautiful lil swimming hole!

1 night at The Swimming Hole On Red Cap Creek

This campsite is in a really remote location with level ground that made setting up easy. The hosts were available, friendly, and helpful without being intrusive. We were honored to be welcomed into their beautiful private paradise. The swimming hole was magical. Really beautiful and refreshing. We had a hard time leaving and are already talking about booking another trip back.

Weekend Trip to The Swimming Hole On Red Cap Creek

We really enjoy our stay in Wayne’s Property, especially the kids and also thank to his wife’s Delicious Chocolate chip cookies, the kids loves it. Wayne and his wife greeted us and give us instructions about our campsite when we arrived, location is very nice, it is surrounded with trees in the middle of the mountain, plus the swimming hole is a bonus. We will recommend the campsite to our friends and we will be back!!

3 nights at Lower Lake Farm Camp

Most beautiful land and most amazing hosts! They were so helpful and even so understanding at our late arrival, we highly recommend this farm to everyone we can and sure cannot wait to go back!

4 nights at Lower Lake Farm Camp

Very kind and helpful hosts! Ramone was amazing. He saw us coming and helped us navigate their entrance-which was a tight fit for our 40' Class A. He got us safely in! He also let us borrow a ladder for some RV repair work. Carolyn showed the kids their new lambs and allowed our kids to pet and feed their livestock. Their property has 5 sites so your whole party could stay here. They are a very short drive from the ocean and have great access to Crescent City and the Redwoods.

4 nights at Lower Lake Farm Camp

Carolyn and Jose are very gracious hosts. They were available to answer questions, but generally left us to our privacy. The sites are well spaced in an open area. The location is close to the northern end of the Redwood National and State Park, as well as just over a mile from Tolowa Dunes State Park.

2 nights at The Swimming Hole On Red Cap Creek

We loved this place. The couple was super nice and helpful.

2 nights at Lower Lake Farm Camp

We had a great time, Carolyn and Jose are amazing guests, they made us feel very welcomed. Their place is beautiful, and just 10 minutes away from Jedediah State Park. Our baby enjoyed the animals, and we loved the fresh eggs.

2 nights at Mystic Forest Campground

We loved staying here! Beautiful woodsy site, quiet, clean bathrooms with free warm showers, a dog run and short trail, little store with firewood, and lovely hosts. Store your food in the car to avoid bears and other critters. 5 min from beautiful beaches, 30 min from Jedediah Smith Redwood Park.

4 nights at Ramblin' Redwoods Campground

Spot was beautiful! Camp store wasn’t open during “open hours” which was a little aggravating other than that, our site was really nice and close enough but still far enough away from town

2 nights at Mystic Forest Campground

Great place to stay in Redwoods! We tent camped for two nights at Mystic Forest, and the entire site is great. Checkin was easy and friendly. The tent camping area is in a beautiful forested area, with an easy walk to the bathroom and other amenities. The location is great - midway between the state and national parks, making spending several days in the Redwoods area a breeze. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Mystic Forest Campground

Perfectly situated for exploring both national forests, the campground was lovely and quiet. Patrick was so kind and helpful, great service and everything we needed! Felt like a sweet time capsule!

4 nights at Ossia Village Farm

The campsite was lovely with a good bathroom and camp kitchen to use. The highlight of the trip was our host Dar! He was so awesome with my kids and gave them little farm jobs, they ate it up and were digging in the dirt, feeding cows, and having a ball. Only negative is there isn’t much shade, so I’d recommend getting a shade tent.

4 nights at Ossia Village Farm

The host was very helpful and charming and the kids were totally enthralled with feeding the animals every day and other farm tasks - we'd gladly stay again just for that with our grandkids! At first impression, the camp sites looks a bit rough (not a lot of flat manicured grass for example, and the access roads a bumpy) but it grows on you.

1 night at Redwood Harbor Village

I enjoyed a night at redwood harbor it was super quiet nice and I had a hot shower right after I 💩 lol love 10/10 I recommend the nice restaurant around the corner 😉

1 night at Mystic Forest Campground

The campground is easy to find, staff is friendly and the sites are well located for convenient access to the central facilities and wash house.

1 night at Klamath’s Best Kept Secret

Patti was so welcoming and helpful. We loved the beautiful open space and full RV hookup. The land is a 10 minute walk from the river. Amazing shower pressure. We appreciated the hospitality and would definitely recommend.

Klamath’s Best Kept Secret

26 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Klamath, CA

Tucked away at the edge of the Klamath Glen neighborhood, our family-owned campground has been welcoming guests for over 40 years. Surrounded by towering trees in the heart of Redwood National Forest and just a few minutes from the Pacific Ocean, this is a true hidden gem on California’s North Coast. We offer a rustic, old-fashioned camping experience. It’s a mix of open field and scattered trees, with both RVs and tent campers on site. Neighbors will be nearby, but the vibe is quiet and relaxed—especially in the off-season, when you might have the place nearly to yourself. The Klamath River is just over the levee—a short walk from your site—with great access for fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water. The river is world-famous for salmon and steelhead fishing (license required). August and September are peak fishing months, so expect a few early morning engines from folks heading out. We’re only 4 miles off Highway 101, far enough to enjoy peace and quiet without traffic noise. Wildlife is part of the experience here, so please stash your food at night to keep critters out of camp. Outdoor lovers will find plenty to explore nearby—hiking and biking trails, the Trees of Mystery, Jet Boat Tours, and, of course, miles of redwood forest to get lost in. A few things to note: Firewood available Cell service can be spotty, depending on your carrier. Free Wi-Fi is available and reaches most of the campground. Electric car charging is $10 per charge. Please arrange ahead of time—50 amp service is limited, and you’ll need your own adapters. Well-behaved pets are welcome. Kids and laughter are always welcome. Dry camping, 30 Amp and 50 Amp pull-through sites available

We are very fortunate to be surrounded by a widely diverse population of flora and fauna. As caretakers of this sacred land, we feel a strong responsibility to honor our plant and animal allies by not only protecting them and their habitat, but also to help educate others about what lives and grows here by providing people with opportunities to experience the beauty of these plants and animals for themselves. For this reason, We are honored to host the many different groups who will gather here on this land for learning and communing with the nature that flourishes here. We feel very fortunate to be involved in this process of helping promote a sustainable and abundant future for all living things on this planet by sharing knowledge and skills from the human past that can make a sustainable lifestyle a reality for everyone everywhere.

Camp Kool

1 site · Tent1 acre · Central Point, OR

Simple and cozy tent camp site, hidden away in a quiet neighborhood. With easy access from I-5, outdoor kitchen, and fire pit, Camp Kool is the perfect pitstop on your road trip. The designated tent site with fresh cedar bedding, clawfoot outdoor shower, composting toilet and kitchen sink will make your camp night feel cozy with all the amenities you need to feel comfy. **NOTE: The tent space is limited to ~8ft x 8ft, please check your tent dimensions before requesting to book :) Camp Kool is located in the middle of Central Point, OR which is in the center of the Rogue Valley. While it is a chill town, the normal amount of town noise should be expected (dogs barking, occasional sirens, road noise, etc). We have done our best to create a private, comfortable hideaway in the midst of it all. One of the great benefits of camping in town is the central proximity to a wide variety of adventures! Travel 2 hours one way and see Crater Lake, or 2 hours the other and visit the Oregon Coast! And a seemingly endless amount of hiking, fishing, waterfalls, swimming holes and rivers everywhere in between. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY campsite. We are a family ourselves and love hosting other families with children. That being said, Camp Kool is an alcohol and cigarette free zone.

Sustainable Ecovillage

The Smith River Complex Fire took our property on August 16th, 2023. Updates on our progress here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fucaTaOwf5c PLEASE NOTE, 4WD is required in order to access the sites. Please message me if you have any questions prior to booking. Sustainable Ecovillage is an off-grid project for sustainable living. If you are looking for a unique experience and up for rustic accommodations among goats, chickens, a permaculture food forest with a few off-grid perks, we welcome you to join us in our mountainous, wilderness paradise! Our 160-acre property is surrounded by about a million acres of National Forest. Our neighborhood is all made of trees, huckleberry bushes and animals. We love it here. It is very remote, peaceful, and functionally sustainable in its focus. The closest neighbor is a Buddhist Hermitage about a mile up the forestry road. Also, supposedly, Sasquatch live here! (it is the epicenter for documented sightings). Most visitors to the area are interested in spending time in the redwoods – we are about 30-45 minutes from the nearest entrance to Jedediah Smith Park, home of Stout Grove and other beautiful redwood hikes. Driving into Crescent City, about 45-60 minutes, winds you right through the "gentle giants" on your way to or from Redwood National Park. We are self-sufficient, and sustainable in a relatively primitive set-up, especially after the fire this year. It's mountainous and remote, and we have a community agreement about no smoking (of any kind) on our land.
