OT: Camping Spots in Coastal Northern Cali

[Jacob D]

p.s.

Support our State Parks! 200 parks are on the verge of losing funding to operate, it's a real shame.

Sure is, I was there when that happened, camping further north

bladeruner143, sorry, email me, no PM's on RC for me since I am a non sponsoring vendor who wants to stay on good terms with RC

There are lots of good options here so far. Does anyone else know of any on beach campsites?

Around Fort Bragg /Mendocino

Around Fort Bragg /Mendocino

Beside Mackerricker, Check out these.
Van Damme SP
Van Damme State Park consists of beach and upland on the Mendocino Coast. Of all park system units along the Mendocino coast, Van Damme is perhaps the richest in terms of historical resources connected with the redwood lumber industry. Its story is a prime example of the struggles and eventual failures of a small, independent lumber operation.

Location/Directions
The park is located three miles south of the town of Mendocino on Highway 1. The highway runs through the park separating the campground and the Fern Canyon trail head to the east and the beach and parking lot to the west.
Russian Gulch SP
This park is known for the heavily forested Russian Gulch Creek Canyon, a headland that features the Devil’s Punch Bowl (a large, collapsed sea cave with churning water), and a beach that offers swimming, tide pool exploring, skin diving and rock fishing. Inland, there is a 36-foot high waterfall. Hikers enjoy miles of hiking trails. The park also has a paved three-mile bicycle trail.

Location/Directions
The park is two miles north of Mendocino on Highway 1.
