★★☆☆☆ Our families have been camping together for years at many different campgrounds, and we've never had an experience like this. The biggest issue was the inconsistent communication between the campground host, Andrew, and his wife, who worked in the campground office. We were told by Andrew that he didn't care where we put our tents across our three adjacent campsites, so we set up accordingly. Because one campsite was significantly larger than the other two, we placed most of our tents there. After everything was set up, Andrew's wife came to our campsite, told us we were in violation, dismissed our explanation that we had followed Andrew's instructions, and called the park ranger. We immediately complied with the ranger's directions, but it meant taking tents down and setting everything up again. Later that evening, Andrew came by to remind us about quiet hours after our group had already settled down, while a nearby campsite was still playing loud music and talking. Only after we pointed this out did the neighboring campsite receive the same reminder. The following day, our kids were playing volleyball in a nearby campsite that remained vacant throughout our entire four-day stay. Andrew's wife, who worked in the campground office, told us they had to leave the area and said she would call the park ranger if they didn't move. We understand the need to enforce campground rules, but given that the campsite was never occupied during our stay, the response felt unnecessarily strict. Throughout the weekend, our group remained respectful and cooperative. Unfortunately, we did not feel that same respect was extended to us. We left disappointed by our interactions with Andrew and his wife. After years of camping at many different campgrounds without issues, this was the first time we left feeling unwelcome. Because of our experience, we won't be returning.

Gorgeous spot. Very chirpy, helpful, welcoming camp host. There's a prairie / meadow with apple trees that the black bears come to (we didn't see any though, but saw plenty of deer) We had a lovely spot (020) on the very edge. A few noisy guests but you can't win them all.

Absolutely amazing campground. We walked in and were able to get spot #1, we loved being close to the meadow, trees, creek, bathrooms, and amazing hiking trails! Our favorite spot to walk to was the Big Tree Area. Staff was so kind and cheerful, I'd love to come back

My girlfriend and I loved our two campgrounds. We stayed in 16 the first night and 21 the second. Restroom facilities were basic but nice. Site 16 had more shade from the trees but a slightly slanted ground. Site 21 had flat ground but slightly more bugs since you’re closer to the meadows. Beautiful campsite overall!

Forewarning- especially to those driving in at night!!! Don't make the same mistake that I did. It may be obvious to some but apparently not for me. Once you get on Mattole Road off the 101, DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE MAPS DIRECTION. Stay on the road for just over 5 miles, look out for the Albee campground sign and the road into camp will be on your right. Google maps will lead you to turn onto a thin dirt road (even has a small post that states Albee Creek Campground). This is incorrect and you've gone too far. I'll be happy if it helps one other person. Great campsite though.
