Welcome to the Wild West Coast! Where the mountains meet the sea. The campground land is remotely located on private property and perfectly located for excursions to the Pacific Ocean, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, the Smith River National Recreation Area, and the Pacific Coast Ranges and mountain lakes such as the Devil's Punchbowl, Buck Lake, and Raspberry Lake. Relax and free you mind while camping on 120+ acres of private property under starry skies with almost no light or noise pollution. You are not alone on the mountain as other people live here in the wild. You only have access to the campground and a nearby pond. In the surrounding area you can enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, surfing, mushrooming, berry-picking, beachcombing, birdwatching, and countless other outdoor activities. The campsites have picnic tables and fire rings, and campers are provided with 5 gallons of potable water. An outdoor, COLD-water Artesian shower, out in the open mountain air with the wild things and an outhouse with a compost toilet are also provided. Bundles of firewood are available for an extra charge when you book your campsite. The campsites are set within a deciduous and pine forest at about 1913 feet in elevation. There is a pond on the property, but its purpose is for wildlife habitat ONLY, so water activities are NOT allowed. NO swimming, NO fishing, NO boating, NO trapping, etc. The wild things live here! The property owner has a dog, three cats, and a menagerie of yard birds such as turkeys, peacocks, guinea hens, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. They do make noise! Kirk has lived off-grid for over twenty years and holds a wealth of information about the Gasquet/Del Norte County area. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the property is that it has had documented Sasquatch encounters over the past twenty years that have been published in "Tribal Bigfoot" (D. Paulides 2009). Kirk can tell you about his experiences with this and other phenomena on the property.

Gorgeous site, excellent host!
Gorgeous camp site on Kirk's private property. Kirk was welcoming and very accommodating of our after-booking requests, and quick to get back to us with information. Thanks for the great time, Kirk! The camp site is up a quite steep dirt road that takes about 15 minutes to reach camp. We pulled a small teardrop travel trailer (33' with our truck) and we're able to fit it into the site. Getting turned around to leave was tough though! Wouldn't recommend anything much larger than this. If you visit, we highly recommend checking out Grove of the Titans and the Boyscout Trail in Jedediah Smith park.

Very nice camp site about 20m from redwoods! Up higher in the mountains on a dirt road, made it a little colder than planned but everything was fine, nice campsite!

Super small space, and the way things are arranged, you would be right next to other campers. There was only one other guest the night i stayed, but if it had had guests for the other two spaces, it would've been cramped. I also think it's overpriced for a spot with no hookups. Very nice area though.
