Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. Lovely and peaceful private redwood forest and off-grid sustainable living. You'll b surrounded by lush green ferns, towering redwoods, seasonal springs and streams, in a deep ravine with the sounds of nature to connect to creation. Get away from the hustle, bustle and noise when you stay under the stars. Camping on private property often with no other campers around. Hiking and Mountain Bike trails on site and adjacent to miles of additional trails in Second Growth city park. Walk to old town Fortuna while feeling like you're hundreds of miles away from civilization. Very peaceful and close to essentials like coffee, groceries, fuel, restaurants, and fabulous sights. Redwood National Park, Redwoods State Park, drive through trees, one log home, Avenue of the giants and many other historic sites, towns, and natural wonders are all within a 40 minute radius. The beach is just 25 minutes away. The is the best location for a surf and turf get away! Onsite, you may see red fox, deer, turkeys, bear, possums, skunks, and a huge variety of birds. You'll also likely see our chickens and dogs: the beginning of our organic, sustainable, off grid farm. We've been carefully tending and nurturing this forest for just over two years to mechanically remove invasives like scotch broom, himaylayan black berry, English ivy, Pampas grass, bull thistle, and non-native onions while reintroducing native species. Consider helping to support our efforts and get involved!

#1 Campsite in Redwoods
Perfect peace in the woods ☮️
My family and I had a perfect couple of days resting and relaxing amongst the magic of some redwood trees at this camp site. This site was private yet surprisingly close to town for all of our needs. We loved that there was an outhouse, a table area, and a nice flat campsite to set up our tent. My primary concern when HipCamping is finding a safe place for my kids. This site definitely exceeded all of our expectations! I didn’t think I would get our 13-year-old to leave. The only challenge we had was getting our overly packed vehicle up the hill to exit the site. It wasn’t bad, but we don’t have AWD and it took a few tries. I would say it all added to our adventure. We absolutely loved our stay and would be lucky if we got the chance to visit again!

#2 Campsite in Redwoods
Very clean honey bucket—easily the cleanest I’ve ever seen—with a sink and foot pump for water right across from the site. The site itself is in a hollow above a little stream on a very flat area between a couple trees; it was perfect! Todd and Wendy stay just up the hill and were helpful, kind, but also private (in a good way). The fire pit works for cooking and there’s ample firewood up atop the hill. You can only drive up there with a 4x4, but it’s just a short walk. The campsite is accessible without 4WD, but make sure you work up plenty of speed when you’re going up the hill to exit the property! I failed my first attempt but never had a problem thereafter. It’s incredibly peaceful and quiet but just five minutes from US-101; the perfect, tranquil spot to hang with easy access to all Humboldt has to offer! I’d definitely come back again.

Beautiful secluded campsite among the trees tucked away on the edge of town with direct hiking trail access to the local community park. There was plenty of room to fit our four (small) tents, as well as a picnic table area which was well-lit by a clearing in the trees. Make sure you have 4 wheel drive or it will be an adventure making it back up the steep driveway. No fires on site but just up the road at the top of the hill is a communal fire pit. No showers, flushing toilets or potable water, but there was a clean outhouse with a foot pump sink. Definitely a great place to stay if you are looking to camp in the area!
