Located on stellar mountain views of the lovely Eel River. The best Hipcamp on the Eel River! Currently able to host two large sites and up to 10 visitors. The Eel River is only five minutes down the road with dozens of glorious swimming holes. There is also a historic train track that runs miles along the Eel River which makes for a very majestic hike.The location is at around 1,400ft in the mountains above the glorious Eel River. There is plenty of space on this large property. The camping area includes an outdoor kitchen, compost toilet in outhouse, shaded outdoor living room and plenty of space for tents. A small covered tent is included. And a parking spot for a trailer/rv/sprinter. Kitchen has mountain well water on tap, please use conservatively. Included grill and propane ready to get your grub on. A ten minute hike up the properties own trail and you will find yourself looking over the whole beautiful Eel River valley below. No cell service in Dos Rios so save your map data before you take off. We recommend taking Hwy 162 if you are coming from the 101. Camp Guidelines - Be nice, pack it in pack it out. Bee most excellent to each other. Be kind to the land, Enjoy the birds, Keep it magical

Main Camp

Rad spot!

Overall would recommend! The land was private and outdoorsy. Geisty added a lot of cool features - an air stream, tents, rugs, outdoor kitchenette, and even a compost toilet. Super rad spot for all types of campers. We were in and out of the site so didn’t get to enjoy it fully but are sure someone else would. My one note is about getting to the site. The route we took was a windy dirt road for about 30min. Not all cars are capable of doing so, and we had to park on the side road because our cars were unable to climb the hill to the actual gated area. No reception. Not a complaint, just for future campers. Thanks for the accommodation Geisty!
