Humboldt Hideaway

3 sites · Lodging, Tents10 acres · Blue Lake, CA

Humboldt hideaway is a small intimate SHARED space with residents. The outdoor kitchen, deck with a view, and campfire ring are all connected to the main resident house. There are places of seclusion, but much of it is shared outdoor space. Humboldt Hideaway is a small off-the-grid LGBTQ+ queer land project in Northern California. It is set on 12 acres of hilly terrain in the mixed fir and oak woods of Humboldt County, a half-hour east of Arcata. Back in 2001, when it was established, it was undeveloped with nothing on it. It has since been built up with the scrappy efforts of amateur creative dreamers. It is a home and resource to extended LGBTQ+ communities by being a small-scale rural resource for learning and sharing useful rural living skills and being a destination for visits, artist and activist retreats, and host to small groups and events. Anyone is welcome at Humboldt Hideaway, but please understand that it is an intentional place committed to anti-oppression values. It is important that it remain a safer space for people identifying as queer and/or transgender, as well as a supportive space for women and people of color to freely be. Please make sure you do not anticipate any concerns/problems with this. NEARBY ATTRACTIONS: The property is conveniently located midway between the coast/redwoods and the Trinity River/Trinity Alps backpacking. It is a 45 minute drive to the coast of Trinidad, which has some of the most lovely coves and beaches and Patrick's Point State Park. It is a half hour drive to the coastal Ma-le'l dunes. And it is a half hour drive inland to swimming holes on the Trinity River. OFF-THE-GRID: The place is off-the-grid, no internet, only limited solar power, an on-demand propane water heater, and heated by woodstoves. Structures are a combination of natural building, salvaged, and new materials, with a mix of low-tech alternative technologies- all built with lots of love and help from friends. BOOKING A GROUP: There is potentially both cabin space and camping spots. The property can accommodate a group of up to 10 people. If you wish to book a group, please get in touch and we'll have you book all of the spaces- including some that are not currently listed, as they are in the shared lodge space. WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY: There is a guest room in the shared lodge space if you want to have a wheelchair accessible room. The lodge has a ramp for accessible entrance. This room is not listed, but get in touch if you want to book it.

Wendy & John Farm

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents80 acres · Ferndale, CA

My aunt and uncle bought the property in 1947 from itsfirst 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), extra stuff to purchase if you need or want it (fresh bread, soup, cobbler). 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 :) We welcome the world.

The Forest Fairy Woods

4 sites · Lodging4 acres · Trinidad, CA

Welcome to my home: My Dad moved here when I was 4, and lived here til he passed away, so this land is very special to me. I've been rebuilding the structures and pouring my heart and soul into it since September of 2019, and I'm very proud of how far it's come. It's definitely a labor of love, and I truly believe I'll be making additions here for the rest of my life. People have been camping in the meadow in the summers since the 1950's, and I'm happy to carry on the tradition, by opening it up to you. There was a fire on the property in 1901 which cleared out the forest and left the burnt out stumps which you'll see by the shower. There's one old growth redwood on the property, behind the glampy tent, but everything else in roughly 120 years old. EXTRAS: If I'm around, I can show you the trails on the property. Extra blankets and towel rentals are available for a small fee, when available.

Camping near Willow Creek guide

Overview

Situated next to the Trinity River and surrounded by the Six Rivers National Forest, this small mountain town in Humboldt County is known as the “Bigfoot Capital of the World.” Go in search of Bigfoot along the Bigfoot Scenic Highway, raft, kayak, tube, swim, and fish in the nearby rivers, hike, bike, and look for wildlife in the surrounding national forests, or head to the coast for ocean views and towering redwoods. Camping options are diverse, spanning RV parks and cozy cabins to private and public riverside campgrounds and campsites near the ocean or underneath the redwoods.

Where to go

Willow Creek Area

In addition to private campgrounds and RV parks, several Six Rivers National Forest campgrounds are close to Willow Creek, including the year-round Boise Creek Campground, with access to Trinity River and Willow Creek and the seasonal East Fork Campground. Camp year-round at the Denny Campground along the New River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, with easy access to the Trinity Alps Wilderness. Several campgrounds can also be found along the Klamath River, further north.

Along the coast

Willow Creek is only an hour from the Pacific Ocean. Explore the artsy seaport town of Eureka, the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, and the Samoa Dunes Recreational Area and camp at the Samoa Boat Ramp County Park. Head north to Arcata to go clamming and stay overnight at the Clam Beach County park. Further north, explore the coastal headlands at Patrick’s Point State Park, and spend the night in a tent or RV.

Redwoods State and National Parks

Further north along the coast, explore the majestic redwoods at Redwoods National Park and the adjacent Jedediah Smith, Del Norte Coast, and Prairie Creek redwoods state parks. The parks offer several seasonal and year-round tent and RV campgrounds, along with year-round camping cabins set in redwood groves, forested meadows, and coastal bluffs.

When to go

Summer is an ideal time to visit Willow Creek, to take advantage of its proximity to so many rivers. Spring and fall also offer pleasant weather for other outdoor pursuits. Visit in July for the Taste of Willow Creek summer festival and early September for the Bigfoot Days, a celebration of all things Bigfoot related. Fish for salmon in the Trinity River in the fall and steelhead in the winter.
