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.

Beautiful and peaceful. Smaller campsite so less people around. The trails, meadow, and creeks are gorgeous. Highly recommend. I had site #10 and it was well shaded by Redwood trees and fairly private.

Best campground we’ve stayed at in California so far! Get a spot with a meadow view and watch for the bears eating apples! Fab facilities and lovely staff! They also have a range of talks, walks and activities.

Great site. Although it's not incredibly private due to the proximity of adjacent campsites, the approach to Albee prohibit massive RV's from comfortably making the trek. No loud generators or oppressively large vehicles to deal with. :) The sites closest to the field are ideal for stargazing and watching roaming wildlife. Good spot for families with small children and people looking for a good respite in one of California's great state parks.

Amazing campground in an old apple orchard. The bears really love the apples!

Les Smith

Great secluded campground on former homestead. Some surviving fruit trees in a meadow near the camp that attracts bears who climb the trees

Great campsites, family friendly, safe for kids playing around. It has only 40 sites, so its not crowded. Ample parking at most part near your site. Lots of long and short hiking trails for beginners or serious hikers. Night is peaceful and quite except for the nocturnal creatures. Deer family always pay a visit to campers coz their meal(wild berries) is all over. We saw a Black Bear slowly walking out of some woodsy area on the far side of the meadow and have a chance to take some photos.

Absolutely breathtaking. The most moving, beautiful, spiritual experience of my entire life.

I've been going to Albee Creek since I was a kid. It's quiet and beautiful. Lots of streams and trails with beautiful views. Lots of deer to be seen, an occasional bear (in the meadow, not in campsites), so keep the food locked up! We often drive into Eureka to get supplies. They sell wood onsite, but expensive, so bring your own if you can. I've been dozens of times, in tents, RV and trailer, and always great! We love sites #1 and #2 most.
