This petite spot is a blend of a mobile home park and a camping site. Its unique landscaping and decoration add a touch of charm. It is mostly inhabited by permanent residents, with their trailers in various states of repair. After school, children can be seen riding bikes and scooters, as the school bus makes a stop within the premises. Unfortunately, there is no playground. A few homeless individuals are known to frequent the area, often seen sitting on a bench. The site offers one functional shower (requiring quarters) and a restroom. It lacks a designated area for dogs, a grocery store, and isn't easily accessible by foot. Only cash is accepted, not even checks. Despite these drawbacks, the community is welcoming, and the manager, Dan, is both kind and accommodating. Complimentary wifi is available, as well as complete RV hook-up. The picnic tables are well-maintained, although the fire pits are rusted. There are a couple of trails, one leading to Bonita Beach and another to the Mendocino Botanical Gardens. The location is on the southernmost tip of Ft Bragg, necessitating travel via Hwy 1 to reach the town, which can be bustling. Biking is not advisable. If you have a vehicle, it is a convenient base. However, local residents seemed surprised when we told them we were staying there. They suggested MacKerricher State Park, a few miles north of Ft Bragg, which is visually appealing but lacks RV hook-ups.

During Mardi Gras, we spent a week at the Hidden Pines. It was the best time ever! Stephanie and Chance were our gracious hosts. They had a weekend filled with enjoyable activities for both adults and children. Our toddler, who is almost two, had a blast. The campsite is very well-maintained. The facilities were spotless and the grounds were in excellent condition. Our little girl was thrilled with the two playgrounds and multiple swings available. Although it was too chilly for swimming and we experienced some rain, they invited us to relax in the pavilion so we weren't stuck indoors all day. We will definitely be back and can't recommend this campsite enough!

This eclectic location has been around for decades, and had a low point. New blood has taken over and major renovations are underway. The required permanent residents are separate from the short term visitors.

I spent one month here in my Ford Transit campervan from late April to late May 2022. It was partly to visit friends in the area but also to save on gas prices. I really enjoyed my stay! The rate was $550 for the month I'm not sure of the daily rate. I had a lovely grassy spot with picnic table, fire ring, some bushes for privacy and access to water and the bathrooms. It is a very organized and well-run campground it was peaceful and I felt safe and at home there. It is mostly long term residents and some families and I enjoyed the mix. Water is from a well with an excellent filtration system showers and bathrooms are clean with lots of hot water. WiFi is good cell service abit weak outside the center of Fort Bragg

We decided to take a last minute camping trip to Fort Bragg in the middle of December. All the state campgrounds were closed. The private campgrounds were slow to respond. This one responded and even told us that we might be able to find a cheaper place. We decided not to keep looking, but to go ahead and lock our reservation in. The cost was somewhere around $50 per night, if I remember correctly. The place could be easy to miss driving down the road: the campground is located behind the campground store. There was a lower area and and upper area. There was no one in the lower area and we think he put us in the best spot in the upper area, site #10. There were a few long terms there, but they were pretty much invisible. The water pressure was a little weak and we did not need a regulator in the line. There were two WiFi signals in the campground, but we did better via cell phone signal. (AT&T). We checked out some other campgrounds in the area, but they were pretty crowded and cramped. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Fort Bragg.
