Van Duzen County Park - Pamplin Grove

"This is NOT that other posted campground! That's FARTHER down!!Swimmers Delight. This one sucks! It's spread out widely, the first 3 campsites the worst due to the hike to even reach the bathroom. (Photo 1&2)The other sites below aren't much better. It's right off of Highway 36(photo 8) so you have logger trucks running from 6am till 8pm. (Photo 16 blue/orange truck) The noise is not ideal for relaxing in the woods. There are no hiking trails or maintained trails, nor camp host (site is falling into the river), or firewood collecting. Moldy maps and decaying signs(photo 3&6). The river is nice (Photo 4&13). But trash and nudity at the river has caused the county to post an actual sign about it due to numerous complaints by locals.(photo 10) Pamplin Grove has NO showers, host, rangers, firewood, or even envelopes for payment of camping... With no cell service I was actually afriad to camp there after realizing there is NO ONE around."

"Next to Hwy 36 is a secluded group camp spot in old growth with a meadow and a river beach. Trees have see many humans come and go, but their spirit continues. Well managed and kept clean by friendly park staff and Ranger. Pit toilets cleaned daily, gas stove in large kitchen under cover, water from well and tower on site. Volleyball, two horseshoes games, and other games provided. String led lights there and lit with generator or battery you provide."

"Great county park to stay at on the fly. When we got there, three campsites we're available. First come first serve. $25.00 a night. Flush toilets with quarter showers. Close to Humboldt Redwood State Park."

"There's an easy parking spot with stairs to get down to the river. Nice protected pools and spot with ropeswing to play with away from the current. Cute spot!"

"If you're looking for an outdoor wedding venue, where you and your family can have a low-key camping atmosphere, then look no more because I think you've found the perfect one! There's no cell phone reception so you'll be sure to have that unplugged ceremony that every couple hopes for. Instead of being on their phones your guests will be able to fully celebrate and spend time with each other. This space is great and offers a lot of great spaces for camping, as well as wedding photo opportunities! We've enjoyed all the weddings we've photographed here, and look forward to more in the future!"
