Trip Overview

 

Come celebrate 4th of July with us on the coast and camp steps away from the beach.

​​

MacKerricher State Park, just north of Fort Bragg, encompasses and borders miles of mostly undeveloped coastline.

 

We'll camp a short walk to the beach where it is easy to find an uncrowded spot to relax and enjoy the ocean and the local population of Pacific Harbor Seals, dolphins, whales, and shore birds that make this area their home.

 

Not far away are tide pools, the famous Glass Beach, and the Haul Road- a terrific bike and walking path that extends 5 miles to the town of Fort Bragg.

There are clean bathrooms with flush toilets and pay showers a short walk from your site. Our camp kitchen will also provide infrastructure for washing hands and water for drinking.

​

You'll be camping approximately 3 miles from the town of Fort Bragg (with all services), and less than a minute drive (10 minute walk) from a small market with basic supplies.

Equipment- Our roomy 4 person tents comfortably accommodate 2-4 people and are tall enough to stand up in. Each tent will include a lantern. Note: you must bring your own sleeping bag, which may be rented, if you do not have your own. Our camp also includes a complete kitchen set up allowing us to prepare terrific meals for the group, bug shelters if necessary, camp chairs, hand washing stations, and more. A detailed personal packing list will be provided when you book your trip.

 

Meals- Our MacKerricher State Park Camping Trip includes dinners each evening on days 1 to 3. Breakfasts are included on days 2 to 4. Lunches are provided on days 2 and 3 and are buffet style, available each morning for you to pack and take with you for the day. Dietary restrictions can generally be accommodated. Each participant will fill out a questionnaire prior to their trip regarding food allergies and preferences and we will do our best to accommodate you.

​

Activities- Activities in MacKerricher State Park are plentiful. We are a short walk away from miles of uncrowded beach with seal haul outs and tide pools. Locally available activities include; horseback riding on the beach, sea kayaking, ocean fishing, whale watching, train rides, and more. "The Haul Road" a 10 mile walking and biking trail is near camp and can be used to access miles of secluded beaches as well as the town of Fort Bragg. Bring your bikes. We will also have inflatable kayaks available for your use on the local lake Cleone. There is so much to do! 

​

All of our trips are participatory in nature with everyone casually contributing in small ways to camp logistics. For example setting up and taking down your tent, washing your own dish after meals, etc. Beyond these small contributions we'll take care of the rest. We have very well established systems (developed over 25 plus years conducting professionally guided camping trips) that make these "camp chores" simple, quick, and easy.
