Camp Fort Bragg A Good Deal

October camping in Fort Bragg means warm, clear weather with fresh salmon and tuna. Hidden Pines Campground has a great deal on a week at the beach, for your camping pleasure. RV sites are available from $125 to $160 for an entire week. That includes your water and electric! Tent sites are available from $95 to $105 for a full 7 night vacation. Hidden Pines Campground is located on the coast hwy 1/4 mile south of Fort Bragg city limits, it is less than a mile from Noyo harbor where there is fishing, or a mile from the Skunk Train ride, or 2 miles for horse back riding on the beach, and only 1/2 mile from shopping, dinner and the theater. Take a stroll through the Botanical Gardens which are located 1/2 mile south of Hidden Pines Cam[pground. Each of these activities are fun and they are a simple chore from Hidden Pines Campground. Each sunset can be viewed on a sandy beach after an EZ walk from your camp, "walk about 1/2 of a kilometer from the camp store - and you're on the beach". The camp market has the best price in town for propane only $2.89 per gallon on this date, the ice is only 20 cents per pound and coffee, tea, or sodas can be enjoyed for a buck. Watching NFL Football on Sunday in the game room, with a fun camp BBQ - playing Foosball - and shooting pool are common in the fall. Enjoy some art, buy a Georgia Pacific saw blade, for 5 bucks you take a private swim in an indoor pool and enjoy a hot shower... Camp dinners for guests are only $9 and after noon plates can be arranged for $6 and yes sportsmen can share some of their catch with the staff... who are happy to prepare it. I have recently enjoyed salmon, albacore, ling-cod, rock fish and abalone.

 PS - Wood bundles are 6 bucks, so don't buy a box of wood at Safeway for $18 - LOL - The camp store is open daily 10am to 2pm and again from 4pm to 8pm for a convenient check in and check out.

For Reservations call 707-961-5451  - Have fun :)

This is a fun way to start a holiday, and then maybe a sunset walk on our nearby beach after dinner. The Indoor pool and shower combo works well on the second or third day of camping.

Full hook up RV sites start at $35 and all sites offer weekly packages ranging from $120 to $210 so a week at the beach works well in the fall. A modest fee of $5 provides a full day of swimming and a hot shower, which may work well with your other plans. The Tuna fishing is heating up as the Salmon season winds down. Abalone divers have been bringing in some big ones this year. Often times some of our guests share some of their catches, and we all feast well at the camp cook outs. Abalone, steaks, and fresh fish seem to like our grill, which suits us just fine. The holiday was booked up and now canceled reservations are being reassigned quickly, so if you wish to join us this year, please call asap  (707) 961-5451 between 10am and 2pm or from 4pm to 8pm daily.

Labor Day 20010 Fort Bragg Ca. Hidden Pines Campground

September 2010 - Labor Day weekend at the beach. To all who made it to the beach and for all of us wishing we were there too... happy holiday. The weather on the north west coast offered no hurricane as did the north east coast this year, so weather in the west remains better for camping and travel. Many people visit from far off lands,  it is a good thing when their travel is not hurt by weather or other troubles. Hidden Pines and Fort Bragg remain a great destination. Aside from good weather, low crime, great food, and  a spectacular coast line... the abalone season fall crab season are offering a great start on my favorite season at the coast. September through November at Hidden Pines are the best times of the year to visit.  I  hope to visit with you and yours on the beach real soon..
