Klamath’s best kept secret

20 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Klamath, CA

We have been a family owned RV Park/Campground for over 40 years. This is a very rustic, old-fashioned campground located at the end of a neighborhood next to the river. As mentioned this is also a RV Park so there will be RVs on site. It is an open field campground dispersed with trees. Neighbors will be present. The river access is right over the levee just a few minutes walk from your campsite. Fishing on the river is allowed but you need a license. We are near the woods and river so wildlife is present. Please make sure your food is put away nightly to discourage critters from coming into camp. The campground is just a short drive from a selection of hiking or biking trails. As well as other attractions like the Jet Boat Tours and Trees of Mystery. Located at the end of a glen cell service in this area can be spotty or non existent depending on the carrier. Wifi is available near main house but is limited to emails, messaging and mapping your next adventure. We welcome people of all seasons. Just ask that you are kind and respectful to each other. Well Behaved Pets Are Allowed. Children and Laughter are Always Welcome. We look forward to your visit. August and September there will be fisher persons in the campground. So be warned of early morning engine noise as they head out to the river for fishing. Electric cars that want to charge there is a $10 fee at time of service. Must make arrangements ahead of a time because 50 amp services are limited. Plus you need to bring your own adapters.

Sustainable Ecovillage

5 sites · Lodging160 acres · Gasquet, CA

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.

Welcome to the Wild West Coast! Where the mountains meet the sea. The campground land is remotely located on private property and perfectly located for excursions to the Pacific Ocean, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, the Smith River National Recreation Area, and the Pacific Coast Ranges and mountain lakes such as the Devil's Punchbowl, Buck Lake, and Raspberry Lake. Relax and free you mind while camping on 120+ acres of private property under starry skies with almost no light or noise pollution. You are not alone on the mountain as other people live here in the wild. You only have access to the campground and a nearby pond. In the surrounding area you can enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, surfing, mushrooming, berry-picking, beachcombing, birdwatching, and countless other outdoor activities. The campsites have picnic tables and fire rings, and campers are provided with 5 gallons of potable water. An outdoor, COLD-water Artesian shower, out in the open mountain air with the wild things and an outhouse with a compost toilet are also provided. Bundles of firewood are available for an extra charge when you book your campsite. The campsites are set within a deciduous and pine forest at about 1913 feet in elevation. There is a pond on the property, but its purpose is for wildlife habitat ONLY, so water activities are NOT allowed. NO swimming, NO fishing, NO boating, NO trapping, etc. The wild things live here! The property owner has a dog, three cats, and a menagerie of yard birds such as turkeys, peacocks, guinea hens, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. They do make noise! Kirk has lived off-grid for over twenty years and holds a wealth of information about the Gasquet/Del Norte County area. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the property is that it has had documented Sasquatch encounters over the past twenty years that have been published in "Tribal Bigfoot" (D. Paulides 2009). Kirk can tell you about his experiences with this and other phenomena on the property.

Its an older tub but still keeps the water at 102 degrees.

Coffee, tea, sugar, and creamer are provided. The sitting area has a small woodstove which is the perfect size for this tiny cabin. A little wood can be provided, and we provide newspaper and fire starters. There is an abundance of twigs around the property great for getting a fire going.

The bathroom has a shower and vanity sink, and towels and toiletries are provided. There is hot and cold running water, although the 3-gallon hot water heater limits showers to less than 5 minutes. A nice wide sturdy ladder leads up to the loft upstairs which has an 8" full-sized (wider than a twin but narrower than a queen) memory foam with fresh linens. The loft is low and cozy which allows the camper to sit up on the bed but not stand up. A compost toilet is about 100 yards away, and has a rechargeable motion detector indoor light. Bring your flashlights to find the compost toilet as well as the hot tub as the property is very dark. Our WiFi barely reaches the cabin but texting can be accomplished at the compost toilet or at the garden gate. The password is listed in the binder on the table. Most folks enjoy getting away from the internet for a while. Some games and puzzles are provided.

The best camping near Alfred A. Loeb State Park guide

Overview

About

A short jaunt inland from the Southern Oregon beach community of Brookings and just north of the California border, Alfred A. Loeb State Park—commonly shortened to "Loeb"—has long been a popular spot for fishing, family camping vacations, and just relaxing among the centuries-old myrtlewood trees that dominate the landscape. Alfred A. Loeb Campground features electrical sites with water and easy river access, plus three rustic log cabins, showers, and reservable picnic areas. Loeb is also a good jumping-off point for the 1.1-mile-long Redwood Nature Trail, the northernmost redwood trail in the country.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Campsites at Loeb are available on a first-come, first-served basis from October through April and all but five are available by reservation from May through September.
Reservations open up six months in advance and can be made up to one day in advance on the Oregon State Parks website or over the phone.
Same-day campsites can only be booked in person and are released on a first-come, first-served basis.

When to go

Loeb is open year-round, but wet and cool weather keeps the crowds out through much of the year. The most popular months are July and August, when the weather is warm and dry, though things can stay pleasant into October. Springtime is also an option, though if you come before Memorial Day weekend, you're likely to experience at least some rainfall.

Know before you go

The closest major town for groceries and supplies is Brookings, about a 15-minute drive away. Firewood is available for purchase in the park.
Fishing is available on-site at the Chetco River, but you'll need to secure a license ahead of time.
Bans on campfires and the use of open flames are common during the summer months, when fire risk is at its highest. During periods of extreme danger, the use of camping stoves is also prohibited.
The park has one accessible cabin, one accessible campsite, and accessible flush toilets.
