Free-Your-Mind Camping - Campground

Free-Your-Mind Camping is located near the northern California coast, featuring a landscape of coastal forests and rugged terrain. The area experiences temperatures ranging from 40°F in winter to 70°F in summer. Nearby attractions include the Redwood National and State Parks, offering opportunities for hiking and exploring ancient trees.

Description

Our campsites are located on French Hill Road in the tiny city of Gasquet. Our campsite location is the Gateway to the Mountain Lakes. We are the road less traveled and you will enjoy a quiet, nature-filled camping experience. We are not too far from US 199 but far enough that there is no light pollution or noise to interfere with your star gazing. You will hear the sounds of nature on this property of over 100 acres.

Our campsites all have picnic tables, fire rings, and drinking water available. You may purchase bundles of wood at an additional charge. A cold-water, an artesian shower, and outdoor toilets are available for the campground.

We are a small privately owned campsite, so plan on taking in the beauty and enjoying the wide open space. Kirk can advise you on the many sites to take in while visiting Del Norte County. He has lived at the top of the hill for over 20 years so take advantage of his love for this land and the knowledge he has acquired living here.

We are known for our mighty Redwood Forest, but there are plenty of beautiful sites to drink in while visiting.

Steep hill, rutted, washboarded and awful campsite

We drove down from Portland to Free Your Mind campsite.  We were pulling a light, T@B Boondock travel trailer with high clearance.  The 3 mile gravel road was awful, rutted, washboard, steep has hell.  Barely made it up there with a 4WD Tacoma truck pulling the trailer.  The entrance into the campsites was  narrow and it would have been next to impossible to turn around in there.  The 3 sites were close together and not the least private.  If someone else had been there it would have been more like joint camping and then impossible to get the trailer out.  Dirty water provided.  We turned around and spent 4 hours finding a state campground.

There is no owner on site and its just a piece of bush cut out of the forest with few amenities. 

DO not book this place, a total rip off. Hip Camp does not let you write a review. Notice that all their reviews of this place are good ones.
