Lost Coast Camping Comfy

Book early for summer! Wuss Camp is a family & dog friendly campground where solitude and outdoor adventures meet comfort and convenience…a magical place in a private valley one mile from the beach.

100% positive reviews on Hipcamp!

We call it “Wuss Camp” because you can focus on the fun of outdoor tent camping, and still have a few comfortable amenities: Hot showers, Starlink high-access internet, free firewood, options for morning coffee and fresh baguettes, and plenty of room for the kids and dogs to roam — all just one mile from the ocean and the Lost Coast headlands and five minutes from charming Victorian Ferndale, the historic heart of Humboldt County’s Redwoods.

What makes us special

 

Wuss Camp has five campsites on 80 acres of private wild park land, including meadows, forests, a creek, and wooded hiking trails. Your guide is our wise and gentle concierge, Louie, a Queensland heeler. In season, forage for wild chanterelles, view nesting great blue herons, and, always, wake and sleep to the roar of the ocean and the astonishing starry late night skies (no ambient light here!). The land embraces you. You are not a visitor, you are part of the story at Wuss Camp.

 
 

Prime location

We’re located on forested farmland a mile from the ocean in Humboldt’s scenic Eel River Valley. Few campsites in the area offer such easy access to the rugged Lost Coast; you can hike from our camp down the county road to Centerville Beach. And we’re conveniently situated near the charming historic town of Ferndale & California’s most famous redwood parks.

John’s hot, homemade baguettes are an “extra” … and is delivered right out of the oven to our campsite in the morning.

Lots of extras

Can’t live without your morning coffee? We’ll bring it to you. Love homemade bread? (Who doesn’t?) Waiting suppers of hot soup and homemade apple crumble? Learn more about our Wuss Camp extras, available when you book through Hipcamp.

Kid & pet friendly

Our property is a safe place for kids to play in the meadow, along (and in—bring dry clothes or plan to use our dryer) the creek. Non-aggressive dogs (cannot chase beef cattle! or disturb other guests and their dogs) … are welcome. The place is magic for children. We know. We were children here ourselves.

Our Campsites

Choose from five campsites on Wuss Camp’s peaceful 80-acre property: Creekside, Hazelwood, Base Camp, Grove 1 Streamside or Grove 2 Forest Edge. Ask us about combining sites for family groups.

What Our Guests Are Saying About Us!

Just a beautiful, quiet place to camp. ..bathrooms and showers were spotlessly clean and well-stocked…Beach is very close and beautiful…Hot soup and fresh warm bread and cobbler that we’d ordered ahead were all amazing and came with all the homey touches and real dishes and silverware. Such fun! Will definitely stay here again.
