About Mission Canyon
Welcome to Mission Canyon were you can let go and relax under the redwoods, next to the creek with majestic water fall sounds. Go to the top of the mountain at 1000 ft to star gaze at the Milky Way and shooting stars! There are endless possibilities. Bring your own water containers to enjoy drinkable natural spring water. Also take a natural spring water shower and a cool dip in the pond each morning to start your day off refreshed! We recommend you have an all wheel drive vehicle to get to the property however 2 wheel drive will make it. There is a 1.5 mile drive on a dirt rd with dry creekbed crossings it is definitely an adventure to an amazing oasis.

David was great. Met us with us at Safeway and guided us in. Beautiful campground. We were super happy with the privacy and redwoods..
Campsite was not quite what we hoped for. We did have a wonderful time away from crowds but disappointed to pay as much as we did for what you get. First, I reached out to the host twice to ask if we could bring extra vehicles and didn't hear back, so I booked an extra site just in case. When we arrived, he told us he could refund the additional site or charge by the head and we all camped in one site per his request. Never received a refund or heard back. Second, the land was not taken care of. It's a beautiful forest and creek but old, rusting vehicles all over the roadway and campsites. O…
Highly recommend! We loved our secluded campsite with close access to a stream. There is plenty of space between camp sites, so there's lots of privacy. The drive in is unpaved and 4x4 would have been great, but I managed to make it in my Prius. Our host was friendly and accommodating.
Overall, we had a good trip and the location is amazing. IMPORTANT- make sure you don’t follow the directions on Hipcamp. They are wrong and took us to a completely different location. Make sure you wait for David to guide you. Also, reminder there are no bathrooms.
It was nice to be secluded and not close to other campers. This place has a lot of potential. There is a lot of broken down equipment and vehicles on the property which detract from the beauty of the forest. We were told by the host, we could have campfires, but a disgruntled neighbor stopped at our site and yelled at us for a good 5 minutes after taking a picture of us with our fire. It was an interesting trip for sure.
