Van Damme State Park Campground
Van Damme State Park Campground is found along the Mendocino coast, a few miles south of the town of Mendocino. Van Damme State Park offers some of the best camping in the area with campsites along the Little River and others higher on a ridge in an area known as Highland Meadow. Visitors to Van Damme State Park enjoy the beach set in a protected cove, scuba diving, abalone fishing, kayaking, hiking, and sight-seeing.
Van Damme State Park Campground has 68 campsites. Five of the sites at the eastern end of the campground are designated for tents-only, while the rest can accommodate RVs, trailers, and tents. In addition, there are 9 environmental campsites requiring a couple of miles of hiking up Little River from the main campground to reach. Van Damme State Park also has a Hike & Bike campsite and a Group Campsite.
Notice: A temporary (2024) single-lane bridge has been installed to allow for access to campsites on the east side of Little River. The narrow bridge is very difficult for large RVs and those pulling trailers to negotiate. Read the detailed information on the park website: Van Damme State Park.
