Camp Jade River

The rugged terrain of far northern California is one of the few mostly untouched places left to retreat to. Come dwarf yourself under the magnificent giant redwoods and be struck with awe by the mesmerizing jade colored Smith River. The property is a mere 20 minutes from some of the world's tallest trees. Come check out Stout Grove, a rarely crowded gem of the Redwood National and State Parks. The grove is a part of Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park which is the least developed and most impressive park of the four. From your campsite you will have a lovely view of a large bend of the Smith River. It boasts impressive runs of chinook and steelhead, and is host to many other native species. Keep an eye out for bear, mink, and otters! And secure any food or attractants at night. Our property gives you the chance to disconnect from daily life and recalibrate. Use our site as an extended getaway for some peace and quiet, or a launch point to the variety of local attractions. 

The deck is quite the spot to hang and have a yummy meal. 

The blackberries were quite the yummy addition.

Redwood Retreat

We acquired the property in 2015, out-competing a logger who wanted to cut the grove for timber. We want the redwood grove to demonstrate to our community, with its long history of forestry, that trees can be commercially valuable preserved in their natural state. You are helping us do that by staying in our woods!

As of 2023 more than 80 work-exchange helpers through WWOOF (World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) have labored to help develop the property in exchange for room, board and a hands-on education. Adjacent to the redwood grove is a permaculture farm that supplies a large share of our nutrition.

The property is also an overnight stopover for bicycle tourists traveling down highway 101, typically from Seattle or Vancouver to the Mexican border who find us through the website Warmshowers. 

Beautifully perched high in the redwoods, this is the view on the way in.

We brought our projector to watch movies! So cozy 

We brought lights as there aren’t any provided and it gets quite dark

Smith River Retreat

This beautiful spot on the Smith River was once an old mining claim. The property boundaries actually go half way out into the river. The present house was built in 1957 and has been remodeled a few times since. The host retired from teaching 7 years ago and spends much of her time improving the landscaping and gardening, while playing with her giant Shiloh Shepherd.

Cut throat trout caught from cement slab at the swimming hole. You must have a valid California fishing license.. We practice "catch and release" here.

Klamath’s best kept secret

We have been a family owned RV Park/Campground for over 40 years. This is a very rustic, old-fashioned campground located at the end of a neighborhood next to the river. 

As mentioned this is also a  RV Park so there will be RVs on site. It is an open field campground dispersed with trees. Neighbors will be present. 

The river access is right over the levee just a few minutes walk from your campsite. Fishing on the river is allowed but you need a license.

We are near the woods and river so wildlife is present. Please make sure your food is put away nightly to discourage critters from coming into camp. 

The campground is just a short drive from a selection of hiking or biking trails. As well as other attractions like the Jet Boat Tours and Trees of Mystery.  

Located at the end of a glen cell service in this area can be spotty or non existent depending on the carrier. 

Wifi is available near main house but is limited to emails, messaging and mapping your next adventure.

We welcome people of all seasons. Just ask that you are kind and respectful

to each other.

Well Behaved Pets Are Allowed.

 Children and Laughter are Always Welcome. We look forward to your visit.

August and September there will be fisher persons in the campground. So be warned of early morning engine noise as they head out to the river for fishing. Electric cars that want to charge there is a $10 fee at time of service. Must make arrangements ahead of a time because 50 amp services are limited. Plus you need to bring your own adapters. 

Coastal Forest Farm Camp

Coastal Forest Farm is a 13-acre family farm. The farm is complete

with a seasonal pond, open pastures, and a forest. The forest includes

ferns, a variety of mushrooms (please don't touch them unless you are knowledgable about mushrooms), flowers, and mossy-covered

old-growth Sitka trees. At night you can hear the sounds of the ocean nearby

and the frogs in the forest.
