About Timber Cove Campground
Located right off coastal US highway 1, Timber Cove campground sits right at the edge of breathtaking, oceanside cliffs. We are situated on roughly two acres of land, with multiple campsites for tent/car camping or RV’s. Each bluff campsite has a picnic table, fire pit and water. Electricity is available to use for an extra fee. The beach and waterfall campsites do not have picnic tables so you might want to bring one if you’ve booked there. We have separate men’s and women’s flush bathrooms, with coin-operated hot showers. We have firewood with kindling for sale on site, payable with cash or Venmo. Please take note of local fire bans, when in effect. Dog friendly, though be advised a leash is recommended as we are close to the road, but they can run leash-free down at the beach. We are located 30 minutes north of the town of Jenner, with Gualala 30 minutes to the north. Gualala has grocery stores, a post office, and some shops. Fort Ross Store is located one mile down the road, just before Timber Cove, and sells basic food necessities, drinks, sandwiches, ice and gas. Internet cell service can be spotty in our area, depending on your provider, so bring your own Starlink services if you have them. We also have access to the beach below, and offer beach camping as well. Take note that the road down to the beach is steep with uneven terrain. The weather can vary quickly here, so be sure to bring multiple layers of clothing and camp gear for various types of weather, and headlamps are useful for getting around the property at night! We hope you’ll come visit our little slice of heaven on the ocean cliffs, gaze at the stars, marvel at the sunsets, watch the harbor seals dozing on their rocks and the many bird species that inhabit our property. Bring your binoculars and watch out for whales too! We look forward to hosting you at Timber Cove. Please email with any questions about camping with us. Address: 21350 CA-1, Jenner, CA 95450

My fiance and I realized after arriving that bluff #6 wasn't big enough for our giant glamping tent and dog, so we contacted Brenda and she was really accommodating. We switched sites to the grassy knoll, and just paid the difference in price per night. Best decision ever! This site is an absolute gem! Gorgeous view and secluded from the rest of the camp. Everything we wanted.
Very much enjoyed Timber Cove. The site was perfect for my 2 nights and exploring the small parks dotting the coast. Waking up to the waves and seals was great.
Overall, we had a wonderful weekend! Brenda was responsive and the location was great! However, the camp site is not clearly marked, which led to some confusion as to our exact site. However, when we asked Brenda about it, she was quick to reply and update us. In addition, it was unclear from the photos and from the host that there were other groups on the beach too. The second issue is that it is not clear from the listing that this is an active boat launch! Both mornings, fisherman came at 5am and it was disruptive to say the least. Again, this would have been nice to know in advance. Wo…
We stayed at Timber Cove Campground in Bluff 10 and absolutely loved it. It’s one of the best spots there in our opinion, with incredible ocean views and a private deck. Even though it’s near the bathrooms, it still feels quiet and private if you’re in a van or trailer. We enjoyed watching the seals, exploring the nearby walking trails, and chatting with the very friendly host, Brenda. Our dog Cooper especially loved lounging on the deck in his bed, taking in the views with us.
We had a wonderful weekend reset overlooking the ocean and would stay here again!
