Campground Overview

About Nadelos Campground

What if a campground could immerse you in the tranquil embrace of coastal mountains while providing direct access to some of California's most ruggedly beautiful wilderness? Nadelos Campground offers eight secluded tent sites nestled within the King Range National Conservation Area, where dense forests meet the dramatic Lost Coast—a rare and unspoiled slice of Northern California.

Each site is equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, ensuring a simple but comfortable camping experience. With no RV hookups or potable water, it's a setting best suited for those seeking a back-to-basics retreat. The campground’s location near the Chemise Mountain Trailhead makes it an ideal base for hikers, while the nearby Black Sands Beach and Lost Coast Trail, both within a 30-minute drive, offer breathtaking coastal vistas and outdoor adventures. Nadelos is small, intimate, and perfect for day trips, weekend escapes, or even group gatherings, with an option to reserve the entire site.

Located just 22 miles west of Redway via Briceland/Shelter Cove Road, this Bureau of Land Management (BLM) site promises true immersion in nature. Campers will appreciate its proximity to the untamed beauty of the surrounding King Range, making it a gateway to peaceful solitude and outdoor exploration.
