Indian Creek County Park

Where the rugged beauty of Anderson Valley meets the serene shores of Indian Creek, Indian Creek County Park Campground offers a tranquil retreat just half a mile southeast of Philo, California, along Highway 128. This small, intimate campground, shaded by old-growth redwoods and set on the south bank of Indian Creek near its conjunction with the Navarro River, caters to those seeking seclusion, natural beauty, and a genuine connection to the outdoors.

The campground features 10 first-come, first-served campsites, each equipped with fire pits, picnic tables, and access to running water. Clean restrooms enhance convenience, while a 75% canopy of towering redwoods ensures cool comfort in warmer months. This basic yet picturesque camping spot is ideal for those looking to unwind by the creek or explore the natural trails within the park. While the campground doesn’t offer showers or RV hookups, its rustic charm and peaceful ambiance compensate for the lack of modern conveniences.

Indian Creek Campground’s location provides easy access to the heart of Anderson Valley, known for its vineyards and local culture. Visitors are a short drive from Philo’s renowned wineries, hiking trails within redwood groves, and, just 20 miles away, the stunning Pacific coast. With its proximity to natural and cultural attractions, this campground serves as an excellent base for weekend getaways, day trips, or extended explorations of Mendocino County’s diverse landscapes.
