My wife introduced me to this little gem about 8 years ago. She has been coming to this spot with her family since she was a toddler. The site was actually a fruit orchard prior to being sold and turned into a campground. Nestled on the Avenue of the Giants (Highway 101) and far enough off the main road to feel like you are a little lost is Albee Creek Campground. The large meadow in front of the camp sites has tall grass that helps hide the deer and bears that like to come out and eat from the fruit trees that produce during the summer time. It's not uncommon to stroll the meadow early morning or in the evening and see the Black Bears up the fruit trees munching away on apples and the Deer eating what the bear drop. Bull Creek that runs along Albee is a wonderful for a shady hike in the cool water while looking for frogs, turtles, snakes and salamanders. My boys love doing this and hanging out here most of the time. Just outside of Albee and next to Highway 101 is the Eel River which has some beach access areas where you can easily find a spot to relax with your feet in the river water while you sip on a cold one. GREAT PLACE!
