~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **PLEASE NOTE** Construction of our new bathrooms will be taking place through March of 2025. Construction will take place between the hours of 7:30am and 5:30pm, Monday through Thursday, and it will be noisy. We apologize for the disruption, but look forward to being able to offer this amenity to our campers in the future! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jug Handle Creek Farm and Nature Center is a nonprofit with a five minute walk to Jug Handle State Reserve, Jug Handle beach and the Ecological Staircase trail. We offer 11 unique campsites with plenty of space and privacy. Each site has two picnic tables, a fire ring, parking for two cars and plenty of space for your tents. Our 33 acres include a native plant nursery, community gardens, forests, meadows, and nature trails. Our site has lots of nature trails, is peaceful and beautiful and just a 5-minute walk to Jug Handle Beach and the Jug Handle Preserve. Our Mission: We offer a welcoming and supportive environment for people of all backgrounds to explore nature and connect with the natural word. Nature stewardship is central to our non-profit mission and as an organization we are engaged in many nature restoration projects throughout Mendocino County. We also provide a supportive learning environment for nature education for disadvantaged youth during the school year. If you teach k-12 and would like to bring your classroom to Jug Handle contact us about special rates and our immersive nature education programs.

#9 - Walk into Forest

The camp ground was super cool. The pictures of the campsites are a little misleading. Half of the trees in the photos have been cut down, due to forest restoration. With that being said, campsite #9 is the best on the property. The first pits are wonderful and lots of firewood available. Would totally come back again.

#4 - Big Meadow, Power & Water

Nice and big site. However, the fire ring is sitting below the ground level, when it rains, the fire ring and picnic area is completely flooded. I’d suggest the picnic area to be leveled and repositioned the fire ring. Other than that, we had a good time.

Very peaceful, quiet. The deer kept us company. It was a lovely stay and we’ll be back!
