Welcome to Waterfall Camp. Come enjoy your stay with us on our beautiful 5-acre property centrally located, its only 10 min to the village of Mendocino, 5 minute drive to Caspar beach and 10 min to the town of Fort Bragg. Nestled on the edge of the Redwoods and Pygmy Forest, adjacent to Russian Gulch State Park. The property has private access into park which consists of many miles of beautiful Redwood trails,the trail to the waterfall, biking trails along with a trail that leads straight to the ocean. Come and relax around your private campfire and cook over the open flames or treat yourself to fine dining in Mendocino or Fort Bragg, the experience is at your fingertips. From camping under the stars to hiking and biking through the redwoods or kayaking up Big River, come let the Mendocino coast show you what it’s all about. Our goal is to make you feel right at home. Each of our three sites has a redwood deck with a sink and food prep space, potable water, remote solar lighting, picnic table, smokeless fire pit and grill, firewood, level parking area and tent pad. One of the three sites can accommodate a 25’ trailer. There is a beautiful redwood bathhouse with two outdoor showers and two flushing toilets. All water onsite is potable so make sure to top off before your day of adventuring. There is a horseshoe pit, cornhole, and badminton set for fun under the sun. All sites are a two min walk to the State Park trails and 5 min ride to Jackson state forest bike trails. It's about a half hour walk to the beautiful waterfall from our property. Large Groups are welcome to book all three sites with two additional RV locations. Also we have a fully stocked westfalia camper van to glamp in if your wanting to pack light for the weekend. We hope to make your stay with us a memorable and fun experience. Shay & Liz

Relaxing spot, welcoming hosts

We enjoyed our stay and will be back. Well thoughtout sites and bathhouse area. We appreciated meeting our host Shay and he gave us lots of fun things to check out. Wish we had more time but we'll just have to go back. We enjoyed looking at the stars and could see the milky way which was spectacular!

The facilities were good. Great fire pit and having hot water at the restrooms was great.

Glamping in the Mendocino highlands

One of the best HipCamps ever. High-style toilets and showers much to our taste, free firewood a plus, and more than our fill of fresh blackberries! Location perfect. Out of town but near Mendocino, adjacent redwood forest trails magnificent, and we hiked to the beach and back. Hosts sweet, the kind of people you want to support.

Fantastic experience!

Our first Hipcamp, and after Waterfall, we are worried that everything else will pale in comparison! Incredibly thoughtful camp set up that includes everything you need, from soaps to firewood. It doesn't get any easier than this. Great toilet and shower facilities and the hosts are fantastic. Also great location between Mendocino and Fort Bragg, great mountain bike trials and easy access to a beach 2 miles away. Can't wait to come back!

Shay and Liz have put in a lot of thought and effort into setting up their campsites. Both stopped by to chat and make sure that everything was going ok. You can tell that they work hard to make the overall experience enjoyable. Each site has a firepit with adirondack chairs with blankets. There isn't any cell coverage where they're located but they have wifi set up if you need to stay connected. They also have a picnic table and deck area with a sink set up at each location. Overall, a lot of nice touches. Their location is also pretty ideal. They're just outside the north boundary of the park so you can get to the waterfall in about a mile from the campground. You're also inland enough to get out of the heavy fog and get a bit of sunshine but close enough to easily get down to the ocean if you want.

Beautiful property, the sites had everything we needed between the fire pit and well-appointed sink station. The waterfall is a short hike away, easy to do with young kids. Loved our stay here!
