All to yourself
100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
Country setting yet 5 minutes to Humboldt State University, Arcata square, or Eureka, 15 minutes to Trinidad, Su-Meg (Patrick's Point), Blue Lake, and Moonstone Beach, 45 minutes to Redwood National Park, and so much more!
Parking spots are on flat grassy field, near neighborhood road, typically very quiet and dark at night.
We have nice bay breezes most every summer afternoon, and summer daytime temperatures are usually around 65 degrees. Abundant organic fruit free for the picking includes blueberries, blackberries, thimbleberries, kiwis, plums, pears and apples depending on the time of year (typically June through November) and we usually have fresh duck and chicken eggs, veggies, and culinary herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage, lavender etc.) to share from our garden, which is a work in progress, like many things!
You're welcome to hang out by the very private creek for morning coffee or afternoon picnics and great bird and wildlife watching--if you're lucky you might even get to see river otters fishing and playing in the creek! You might want to bring water shoes or rain boots if you'd like to wade across the creek and explore the beautiful, serene 60 acre private nature preserve that borders our property.
We have a young son and you'll often find us working and playing in the garden, creek, or around the property during the daysOffering a sweet and convenient spot midway between Arcata and Eureka (5 minutes to both), just a couple minutes off 101 but with a rural feel on a mini-farm. 10 minutes to CalPoly Humboldt, Arcata Community forest, plus many other wonderful spots.
We're in a lovely, quiet, walkable neighborhood, perfect jumping off spot for your adventures. Family and kid friendly, we ask for quiet evenings (after 9 pm) for all to enjoy. Feel free to wander down to the year-round creek, pick fresh fruits around our 1 acre property (July-October), and either visit with our family if we're around, or just have your own space.
Fur-babies (leashed) are welcome in the camping area, too, but not in the back part of property shared with chickens, ducks, and our own furry family. Lots of good spaces for walks around the neighborhood!
Water and house power available--no restrooms, no dump station--byo adapter and hose please! Water and power are expensive here, please be conservative.
Parking spot is on grassy field, close to the neighborhood road, typically very low traffic/quiet at night. Please be considerate of our wonderful neighbors!
**Property is not available if the ground is too wet--please check with me first!**
