    Mattole Campground

    The Lost Coast Is Pure Paradise!

    This was my first time to the Lost Coast. The drive from Ferndale to Mattole Campground was like entering another dimension. I drove in on a mild, sunny day in late July and as I began to make my way into the King Range I was spellbound with the magnitude of the beauty. I hardly took note of how rough the road was because of how gorgeous the surroundings were; mountains, valleys, ocean views, and wild flowers all added up to pure magic. The Mattole Campground is remote, oceanside, and the perfect spot to getaway. Most of the sites don't have much privacy, but there are a few that do. The vault toilet restrooms were clean enough to tolerate. The sites include a fire ring and picnic table. It was a little busier than I expected, though it was peak season. I hope to return during a slightly quieter time.

    Richardson Grove State Park Campground

    Redwood Camping at its Finest!

    The Madrone Campground in Richardson Grove State Park does not disappoint. Nestled in the redwoods along Hwy 101, this campground had everything I could want with lots of beautiful surroundings to explore. It's the perfect getaway and easy to access. Park staff are friendly, and helpful.

    Richardson Grove RV and Campground

    Charming "Vintage" Campground

    The huge oaks are worth it alone. The host was attentive and very helpful. It's a bit down in the heels but things worked well enough and the setting it gorgeous! Just don't count on wifi or cell connection. It's 1960 here.

    Post Creek Guard Station

    Labor Day seclusion

    Post creek guard station was awesome. The views were amazing, especially the star gazing. Took Tedoc rd going in. Long, dirt, rocky rd not recommended for passenger vehicles. Our transit connect was fine, but slow going, just enough clearance. The cabin was pretty clean. Someone left their garbage. It's a pack in 0ack out kinda place. Water is gravity feed for a flushing toilet and dish washing water. (Non-potable) nearby spring was great for filtering or the 1/4 mile down to creek and swimming hole. There are 2 new full size mattresses and a 2 burner Coleman stove. Recommend just bringing all your own gear and consider it like a camping trip, w/ bonus flush toilet. The drive out was smooth. Took service rd 30. Dirt for a short bit, then paved all the way to hwy 36. Definitely be going back, and hitting some of the hiking trails.

    Shelter Cove Campground

    Shelter Cove Camping

    Shelter cove is possibly the most beautiful place I’ve been! I’ve been coming here for 10 years and it never gets old. This campground has all the amenities you could need (showers, RV hook ups, etc) with a fully stocked deli area and very attentive staff. Only drawback is spots are small and directly next to neighboring sites. Typically this has not been a full campground anytime I’ve been here, but it picks up on summer holidays.

    Hidden Springs Campground — Humboldt Redwoods State Park

    Lovely little stop amongst the giants

    I got to drive through first to be sure and select a spot I liked. Staff was friendly and helpful and had firewood available for sale, $10 a bundle, and offered change for the showers @ .25 cents a minute.

    Samoa Boat Ramp County Park

    Good Place to Sleep

    Good place to sleep, but not a spot you'll want to hang out all day. It's a big parking lot with small campsites on the perimeter. Don't expect a lot of privacy.

    The showers are nice, when they are working (some days they are closed, other days they are not).

    There is a camp host for firewood.
