About Camp Larabee - Secluded Redwoods
The story starts with the adventure of getting here! Please use any map app to: Holmes, Ca. DO NOT use any map app after this point - IT WILL NOT GET YOU THERE! Once you have made reservations you will receive an email with written directions that must be followed to find this magical place. This property has been in the family since 1922. During a time of no roads just the railroad that passed through, and a river ferry. At the entrance of the property was the town of Skelly, with a post office, train stop, animal corrals and railroad logging spurs. The lands primary use was ranching and timber back then. The flat that the camp ground is located on is the site of the old Larrabee school house after the 1955 flood took out the original school house. The railroad was closed indefinitely in 1996, which changed the entire landscape for this small community. This area is accessible by a low water bridge in the summer months and offers a spot to slip back in time. Today the land is a great example of sustainably harvest redwoods, a project that was established by great grandpa and is still in practice today. The timber surrounds the pastures and farm land that now produces hay. We acquired this land 5 years ago and have spent countless hours restoring the fields, managing the forest and creating a working sustainable environment. It is a very special place and offers peace and quite to those who enjoy the out doors and camping. Just six minutes off the Avenue of the Giants through Holms Flat.

Campground might be okay for a soundproof trailer, but wasn’t good for tent camping. There was barely any clear ground free of sharp tree droppings or blackberries. I checked all campsites, as we were the only guests there that night- same story at all of them. Tent bottom got a couple holes in it from the thorns. Water spigot had blackberry growing all over the handle. Easy enough to push aside but shows lack of upkeep. Woke up to air horns firing randomly around 6am. A couple hours spent removing blackberry and raking some tent pads would go a long way here.
Amazing campsite! We are privileged that Gina opened up this unique site and made it available for others to experience. (If it was my property, I'd keep it to myself ; ) We stayed with 17' travel trailer and enjoyed being up-close and personal with the majestic redwoods. Sites are very spacious with or without other guests. Water and common areas are well planned and laid out. Gina's property is the perfect getaway to recharge and offers the ideal blend of historic Redwoods, open pastures, and very cool nearby bridges for exploring. Kids were happy, parents were happy, we'll definitely be ba…
We loved our stay at camp Larabee. The campsites were beautiful, extremely spacious, and secluded. We had the place to ourselves but even if every site had been occupied, there was still a superb amount of privacy and space. Gina was extremely accommodating. We highly highly recommend a stay here!
