#1 - Shady & Big

Campsite was private and surrounded by beautiful mossy trees. It was a little damp, but that's to be expected for winter in northern california. There was a tiny bit of road noise in sites 1 and 2, but it was replaced by the sound of the ocean later in the evening.

#8 - Woodland's hangout

We had such a wonderful time staying here! Each camp spot feels quite private and cozy, and the land is very well cared for; it's a beautiful, and quite peaceful place. I look forward to coming back soon!

#7 - Large Sunny Family Spot

Don't go

It looked like it was a construction site , the music was so loud while they were working on new projects . The host was non existent , there were plenty of trails but no information on them . We would have liked to hike them but we didn't know they existed . For the expensive price you have to pay , you have to take your trash out with you , give me a break and buy some dumpsters . Will not return

#2 - Sunny Spot in Meadow

I loved camping at Jughandle’s Land! I stayed at site 2 and it was the perfect size. My friends and I, 4 of us, had a very comfortable stay there and really enjoyed the site. Easy to park and did not feel crowded at all. Amazing place overall, right across the street from a beautiful beach as well

#4 - Big Meadow, Power & Water

Another great stay!

We love Jughandle! This is our second time camping in the campground and we’ll definitely be back. The spots are nicely spaced out, and the trails to the forest and beach are spectacular. The property is also perfectly centered between the town of Mendocino and Fort Bragg.
