We had a fabulous weekend at Jughandle! This was our 3rd trip there. As always, everything was so peaceful and serene. Easy hike to the beach and several options of trails to explore. Drove into town for dinner at Noyo Harbor for fish and chips. We had 3 other groups join us and everyone loved their sites and had a great time as well. Looking forward to our next trip!

Great location, sites were ok, trails around and tk the beach were awesome, bathroom was great….$60 in off season however is a stretch. If I’d known all the campgrounds in Jackson Demoltion were closed I wouldn’t be writing this review lol Also, cool history of the farm and what they’re trying to accomplish on regrowing the area great job!

Amazing Spot!
What a great spot to camp! Easy to find. Well maintained. So much space to cook, makes fires, set up tents, play and then the access to the trails and heading out on adventures is right there! You do not have to drive anywhere. We had a wonderful time and hope to return very soon.

#7 - Large Sunny Family Spot
Great location, midway between Mendocino and Fort Bragg. Surrounded by beautiful woods, and a short hike to the coastline (Jughandle Reserve). Site #7 was spacious and separated from other sites; it can easily accommodate a family and friends. Bathrooms are being updated this month at Jughandle but all their Porta Potties were exceptionally clean and well maintained.

Love Jughandle. It’s so well maintained and the sites are private and spaced enough to really make you feel like you’re alone in the woods. Beautiful property!

Overpriced for what it is. The property is overdeveloped. They’re currently under construction. There’s no trash available. The upside is spacious sites and easy beach access.
