Van Damme State Park Camping Trip - July 13th - 16th:

We still have openings available for our Van Damme State Park Camping Trip. We have reserved campsites for the weekend of July 13th-16th in the Upper Loop of the Van Damme State Park.

Three miles south of Mendocino on Highway 1, Van Damme State Park offers a scenic beach, a lush fern-filled forest, and year-round camping. The highway runs through the park, separating the campground and the Fern Canyon trail head to the east from the beach and parking lot to the west. Visitors can fish for abalone or launch a kayak in a protected cove. They can explore a pygmy forest. They can hike, jog, or bicycle the splendid Fern Canyon Scenic Trail beside Little River. Of all the park system's units along the Mendocino coast, Van Damme is perhaps the richest in terms of historical resources connected with the redwood lumber industry. 

Van Damme is a great place for hiking, biking, birding, jogging, kayaking, botanizing, abalone fishing, and watching salmon spawn. Its trails including a 0.25 mile-long wheelchair-accessible boardwalk to view stunted trees in a pygmy forest.  The 1930s-era visitor center was once a recreation hall for the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Since the campground is about 4 hours away, we are camping for 3 nights. The cost will be $35 per person.  This includes the fee for camping on the site, and food (seven meals).  Possible activities will include hiking, fishing, swimming, and kayaking. The campground also has campfire programs and the Junior-Ranger program for kids.

Food:  Friday night you are on your own, maybe grab something on the way up or go into
Fort Brag after setting up camp. We will have a campfire each night so plan on roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. Saturday and Sunday the pack will be making breakfast, lunch and dinner, nothing gourmet or fancy, well maybe a little fancy.  Monday, breakfast will be provided.

If you have never camped with out Pack, you will be in for a treat. We really have a great time and this will be an awesome trip.

Have a great week and a fun and safe 4th of July holiday!
