Sinkyone Camp

Beautiful views!

We loved the beautiful views as you're on top of a ridge. The night sky was incredible. Bring chairs for sitting out. There are 4 sites but it was just us when we were there. There's a kitchen cabin with cookware, showers available. You'll be staying in a large canvas tents which were very clean with 4 basic cots but they look quite new. Friendly host. Make sure you get there in the daylight. Road up to the top of the ridge is pretty steep.

Bear Butte Camp

The night sky view was unbelievable. Never seen a star filled sky like that, didn’t even sleep in the tents, just under the stars. The facilities were perfect for a base camp, clean showers, clean bathrooms, and a full kitchen. Our host Alan was more than accommodating. He checked in with us on our way there to make sure we were good, walked us through the camp and every facility, stocked the campfire area with firewood, and gave us all the insight on where to go in town. With only 4 sites, it’s quiet and mellow, perfect to prep for hiking the Lost Coast Trail the next day. Alan then checked in to make sure we made it back safe and sound. Couldn’t of picked a better place
