Orick · 露营地 · 1室0床0.0卫 · 可住6人 · Otter Space Orchard Meadow Camp
Each of these campsites are on the edge of our 5-acre meadow. If you camp in our DEER MEADOW, MORNING MEADOW or ORCHARD MEADOW Camps, you can drive your vehicle into or next to your site. Campers have their own CAMP SHOWER with hot and cold water at the back corner of the Orchard where it meets the Meadow. There is also a cold water sink nearby for washing dishes and cooking gear, and we have two out houses available for campers. Otter Space is off the grid, through the Redwoods, over a mountain and down into the Klamath River valley. We have a 5-acre meadow, an orchard with peaches, pears, apples, cherries, plums, pluots, apricots and grapes. We are right on the Klamath River on the Yurok reservation. It's a great place to come and recharge your internal batteries. THIS SITE IS FOR CAMPERS with their own equipment! DIRECTIONS TO OTTER SPACE - Do not rely on your GPS. It doesn't work well around here! Cel phones will not work on Johnson Road. - From Southern CA, Los Angeles: North on the 405 to I-5. - After about 5 hours, take #580 West toward San Francisco/ through Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond & San Rafael, where you will hit the US#101. Continue North to Ukiah/Willits/Eureka/Arcata/Orick - From SFO area: - Oakland Airport – take Hegenberger Rd North to 880North to 80/580North, cross the Richmond/San Rafael bridge ($5), and you will join US#101 North. - San Francisco Airport – take US#101 North to Ukiah/Willits/Eureka/Arcata/Orick - Fill up with gas in Arcata before you make the rest of the trip to Otter Space. - Just north of Orick, make a right turn onto Bald Hill Road taking you toward the “Lady Bird Johnson” grove of redwoods. As soon as you turn onto Bald Hill Road, check your odometer. You will be 23 miles from Otter Space. Bald Hill Road will take you eastward up the mountain. - The road goes mostly uphill for the next 9 to 10 miles. There are a couple of scenic view sites on the right, where you might care to stop and check out the view. Sometimes we see Elk grazing in one of the highland meadows on the right. At about 9.5 miles, you will come to a Fire Station on your left. Veer uphill to your left onto Johnson Road. Check your odometer again. You have about 13.5 miles to go from this point. Slow down, watch for potholes in the dirt road. Go over the cattle guard bars in the road. Stay to your left when in doubt. At 5.5 & 6 miles in, you will pass new roads on the left made by the lumber company doing some clear cuts. Make sure you are on the main road, which veers to the right in these two locations. - When you get to 10 miles in on Johnson Road, there is a 90 degree turn in the road down to your left. This is called Bald Eagle Bluff by some. You may want to stop and get out and walk up onto the raised area and look down onto the mighty Klamath streched out below you. - As you proceed downhill, around many curves, and approach the 13 mile mark, you will be almost all the way down to the river. Look for a red gate and fence on your right, set back as the road curves to the left. This is the Otter Space entrance. We are at 13065 Johnson Road. Stop at the mailbox at our gate and Eli will have a map waiting for you showing you how to get to your reserved site. - If you want to check out Otter Space on a map or GoogleEarth, look for CA route 169, and go all the way to the end of the road. It ends in Johnson's Bar, CA which is on the other side of the Klamath River directly across from Otter Space. You can see the round yurt and the orchard!
This particular campsite is not very private, but will do for a one or two night stay if nothing else is available. It is basically an area of someone’s property that has been set aside to rent out as campsites. There are about 6 sites on the property plus a yurt and tipi that can be rented. All are fairly private except the Orchard View site which is OK in a pinch. The other campsites would be great, particularly for a family with kids, or two families camping near each other. It took an hour to get there off of the main highway, so make sure you’ve got what you need with you. It’s about an hour and 15 minutes to the closest market.
This was a great place to camp. We are used to camping on the coast and this was a pleasant change. The river was perfect temperature to swim in. Sunny/warm enough to wear shorts during the day. The creek was great for a day adventure hike. There is an outhouse but also an indoor plumbing toilet/shower house at the top of the hill. However we loved using the outdoor shower. A bit of a drive to get to other locations but beautiful woods to drive through. We even saw a bear family on our drive.
A lovely campsite a short walk from the beautiful Klamath river. We appreciated the clear directions and has a nice stay.
