Sinkyone Camp

Beautiful location! Over looking the forest. A fire was built for us upon arrival. Top service! Would highly recommend as a base camp or a jumping off point if you are hiking the Lost Coast

Sinkyone Camp

Amazing place!

Amazing place! Would definitely come back. The view is amazing- especially if there is a great sunset. The host, Alan, was so kind and helpful. I was impressed by the bathrooms, shower, and kitchen. Wow! We went the night before our lost coast backpacking trip, but I wish we stayed longer.

Bear Butte Camp

Find Your Way to Lost Coast Camp

Jaw-dropping views of the Lost Coast, particularly at sunrise and sunset! And oh my what a Star Show at night. The tents are airy and spacious, though we preferred our own sleeping bags and cushions to the provided US Forest Service cots. New kitchen has everything you need, showers and restrooms neat and clean. We love the location--remote, yet nicely positioned between the two areas comprising the Lost Coast--Sinkyone Wilderness State Park to the south, the King Range National Conservation Area to the north.

Sinkyone Camp

Solo stay with my pup

Wonderful stay here! The site was pretty easy to find, especially after downloading the Google map. I was greeted by the sweetest dog they have on-site, who sat with me and my pup by the fire and spent time with us on the grounds. Excellent hospitality by Alan, who was taking care of the space while Blu was off site. The tent was comfortable, I brought my own sleeping bag and pad to use on top of the cot. The weather was perfect and the stargazing at night was incredible. I would definitely come back for a longer stay and with more friends!

Chamise Camp

Three starry nights at lost coast

We are a family of 4+1 pet, stayed three nights. The camp setup itself is very nice, clean restrooms, showers, community kitchen has everything you,d need. We settled right in. The campsite is Very scenic, the boy had a good time with his camera and lenses. Blu and host Alan make it a point to talk to all guests and are very helpful in making the stay nice and providing tips for ur stay. The owners dog guards the property from wild animals but is very nice and friendly. Drive to local hiking and food is very convenient. Some roads are unpaved, some good driving sense helps here shade is lacking on the tent sites, although there is hammocks and firepit that are shaded. We travel with a canopy so it wasnt bad. We,d definitely stay here again. Finding our way to the camp in the night was easy although the signs were hard to locate, just be sure to follow the directions. Do plan for mosquitoes, the second night there was no wind and the mosquitoes had a blast (even with repellant spray). Its that time of the year and mosquitoes are to be expected. We got lucky for the two nights there were none well past midnight.

Sinkyone Camp

Mtn Top Summer Camp for Adults!

The Lost Coast BaseCamp was WAY more than we needed from a campsite, but in no way are we upset we landed there. WHAT A FREAKING COOL SPOT! Blu, and his co-host, Alan, have created something very special at Lost Coast... a true base camp! We booked this site so we didn't have to contend with the crazy packed campgrounds in Shelter Cove so we could explore the lost coast - and we landed the best basecamp available. There are 4 big tents with cots, a 'land yacht', a bus, and more... the site has a communal kitchen with anything you could need, fully flush toilets, and hot water shower rooms. Plus, delicious fresh spring water for drinking. We came in our pop-up camper and were the only guests for the evening so we had free roaming access to the entire camp... all I could think about was coming back with a group of friends and creating a summer camp experience. The star-watching was incredible, too. Alan was a gracious and friendly host and made sure we had a most excellent adventure!
