About Private sunny forest near the coast
Learn more about this land: The site is in a forested area with short pine and manzanita trees, so its nice and sunny, just out of the daily fog zone that blankets the coast, but only 3 miles from the coast. The neighborhood is super quiet and you can walk right from here to the Pygmy State Park trail system or just on the gravel neighborhood road. There is a main tent site and another tent site and places for 2 cars or more or a small travel trailer or van (20' length ok). There's a place for at least 2-3 tents and there is a table with 3 chairs provided. Also a metal box to keep your food away from bears that might come by (haven't had that happen yet). No campfires please but propane/gas cook stoves are fine. 50 gallons of potable water is provided from a tank. Please conserve water. Keep all food in your vehicle as there are bears and forest critters around. Outhouse with new, clean composting toilet, environmentally friendly! There has been an ornery squirrel that keeps ripping up the toilet paper so please bring your own. Use this lat/long as Google Maps doesn't like my address- 39.2581451131371, -123.723920996094. Brief directions- coming from the coast on Little River Airport Rd, turn right on "Posted Rd. 18/Sundew Lane" sign, stay right at the fork, first driveway on the right (funky oval painted sign as pictured).

This was our first time using Hip Camp and we loved it! The campsite was easy to find, very beautiful, and specious. We loved the table and chairs as well as the water jug. My only critique would be that the outhouse seat seems to be a bit broken making the outhouse experience not ideal. Looking forward to when the owner can install a fire pit! Would definitely recommend this site to anyone staying on the Mendocino coast.
Thanks Kim for this lovely weekend. It was wonderful to have a campsite all to ourselves, with sun and shade among the manzanitas. Stargazing was a highlight! The site is just minutes to the coast, ideal for exploring northward from Albion to Fort Bragg, but tucked away and completely private. Appreciated the rustic but key amenities…drinking water, compost toilet, small table, and storage box on site. Will be back again!
WOW! What an awesome little spot. I was suprized by all the Mansanita trees, it reminded me of my home in So Cal. I took long walks on the roads with my dogs and met a few neighbors, but very private. Super Cool! Top 10! Love Love.
The site itself is very nice, however the tent locations are narrow and the ground is full of stumps and rocks. If you don’t use an inflatable mattress, you’re in for an uncomfortable night.
Really lovely camp spot a few miles off the coast. The site was very quiet and the basic amenities such as a compost toilet and water barrel were appreciated. Mendocino is a fifteen minute drive and has everything that you need. There were a number of critters roaming about the campsite after dark, but they didn’t bother us and moved on pretty quickly once they realized there were no snacks to be had. Directions were great and it was easy to find.
