Lovely camping with amenities
Lovely quiet space next to a small creek, with a full outdoor kitchen, small hot tub, showers, etc. It allows a great balance between camping and retaining some creature comforts. Close to Wilits, about an hour from Ft. Bragg and the coast, we had a wonderfully relaxing three day stay. Ben and Chas are great, welcoming hosts.

Ben has an absolutely fantastic setup; almost a glamping scenario depending on the upgrades you choose. We loved our morning soak in the hot tub followed by a cold plunge in the creek adjacent. We were even visited by a busy river otter during our hang in the river. The open-air kitchen is completely stocked—you can leave all your cooking gear at home. The campsites all have a nice mix of sun/shade and have plenty of room for multiple tents. You get to know the other campers coming and going, and Ben cultivates a community vibe. The sound of the adjacent highway is somewhat audible most of the time, so if you want a remote/wild experience this may not be for you. We'll be back for sure!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Relaxed by the creek at the swimming hole for a long afternoon and explored around the area. Wonderfully maintained property with so many things to do!

Great camping experience! The creek is beautiful and the swimming hole was very refreshing. Loved the wood-fired hot tub in the evenings, amazing for star-gazing. The kitchen is very well stocked and made preparing meals extremely easy. We were the only group there for most of the time which was awesome, the campsites aren't super private so I'm not sure how it would be with multiple groups there but there are a lot of areas to hang out.
